Note: This is page is about the HHK as an ON

Summary
The HHK became the Official Nation of HappynHungry on October 25, 2014, and was the first ON in the Americas. The HHK started with a large portion of the US and Canada, but the borders have changed over time. The HHK helped establish the New Donut Order in May 2015, and has prospered in a state of realitive peace. The HHK now has been attacked by the evil haters who want the HHK to give up most of their claims, leaving the nation in a tight spot.

"To be honest I'm pretty sure if the HHK gave up the Great Plains a huge amount of every ON's food supply would be gone but people can still want that, I guess."

-HnH 2015

The Happy Hungry Kingdom has always been slowly cut down as new ONs form in North America, and Matrion's foreign policy has shown a sharp interest in keeping as much land as possible.

Politics
The HHK has a Congressional Hall called the House of the Happy Hungry Kingdom, or just "The House". Along with the Monarch, the House can make new laws and get rid of old ones. The Monarch acts as the Speaker of the House, and helps keep everything in orde in order. The House has 286 seats, one for every million people in the nation rounded. This means that very soon, there will be a 287th seat added to the House. The holder of any given seat is in no way based on region.

The Prior Era (700-1016)
Over the first half of the 8th century, the Matro Culture had evolved as a branch of Mayartic Culture in the Chesapeake watershed. Over the 700's, the Matro people began to develop an agrarian society off of corn and learned how to make cornmeal. In 891, the first Mayartic city, Ulmontii, was founded on the Patuxent River. Over the next few centuries, more cities were founded in the Chesapeake area. In 1005, These cities formed a confederation called the Confederation of Mayarland. The confederation helped found new cities, and on March 26th, 1016, the Matro founded the city of Matrion, which was permitted into the confederation because their cultures were still very similar. The man who founded the city, Matthew Maxus, became King Matthew Maxus I of Matrion. The city was well known at the time for its bounty of food and wealthy merchants.

Rise of Matrion (1016-1115)
By 1040, Matrion had become the third most populous city in Mayarland and the wealthiest. King Feiros I, Matthew I's son, built Matrion grand pieces of architecture including stadiums, a sewage system, and the Sapphire Temple, symbols of the power of the growing city. Ulmontii, who was in charge of Mayarland, tried to prevent the rise of Matrion by annexing nearby cities into it's realm. This brought concern to the cities near Ulmontii, and showed Matrion that the confederation had become corrupt. Soon after these events, Feiros I died, and was succeeded by King Amron I. King Amron realized Matrion had no reason to support a government like Ulmontii's, so in 1091, he officially declared Matrion independent from the Confederation of Mayarland. This caused uproar in the Mayartic cities, some said Matrion was a city of traitors, and some said that Matrion was right in defying Ulmontii's aggressiveness.In a metting of the confederation, the cities decided to do nothing by a vote of 6-5. Outraged, Ulmontii started invading the cities that voted against the attack. Matrion declared war on Ulmontii in 1102, pledging to protect all cities from Ulmontii. In the western cities, the Katocks took over and seceded from Mayarland. Matrion and its allies formed the Matrionic Order to intimidate the remaining parts of Mayarland. The war was a stalemate for the first 5 years of the war, no one side could take control, but in June 1107, Matrion won a major victory at the battle of Clarnak, destroying Mayarland's army. Matrion slowly fought the remnants of Mayarland's forces, and by 1115, Matrion had proclaimed the Matrionic Order, spanning across all of Mayarland and Dovar.

The Matrionic Order (1115-1577)
After establishing the Matrionic Order, the Mayar and Matro cultures mixed with the native cultures of east coast, making the Happy Hungry culture group. Some cultures in this group are Tehasi, Abvoch, Michigan, and Kentari. The wealthy nobles of Matrion would spend their time making art, exploring the Americas, and holding great banquets. Under King Matthew II, the Matros Calendar was created, and people could accurately track the seasons, holidays, and more. This calendar has 365 days, and follows the leap year system in the Gregorian Calendar. King Matthew II, thanks to the calendar, made a national holiday to celebrate the founding of Matrion, celebrated on Matriar 1, or March 26 on the Gregorian calendar. The holiday is celebrated to this day with great banquets, art competitions, sports, and music. Because there was too much at the banquets for people to try everything, Matrionic scientists developed a liquid that helps you digest food quickly, also still used to this day. The Matrionic order was relatively peaceful at the time, slowly expanding over the 400 years to include much of the northeast and Great Lakes.

Encountering Europe (1577-1716)
In 1577, a large ship was seen about a quarter mile off of the shores of Dovar. On the night of September 29th, the ship came to the city of Dovarnas. Some Matrionic ships sent peaceful boarding parties onto the ship. They found the ship out of food. The admiral at the Dovarnas Harbor said to allow the ship to dock and to help the crew recover. This ship belonged to Pylion, and is considered the beginning of the close relationship between Matrion and Pylia. Soon after, in 1589, a fleet of a different nation appeared. These ships attacked various ports in the Masent region. Queen Lafarna I ordered the construction of a grand fleet to keep these pirates at bay. By this point, most of Europe had heard of the Matrionic Order, and soon some countries decided to trade with Matrion. This started a tobacco boom in the Vorgon and Mayarland regions. Matrionic tobacco was highly prized in Europe, and helped Matrion somewhat modernize, even becoming able to build cannons. Soon enough, Miracium, Takunovia, and a few other nations came up with a plan to partition the Order. The first Smallpox outbreak occurred in 1611, killing almost half of the population. After this, Miracium declared war in 1613, and Matrion fell in 1618. The archives were sealed up, and Matrionic citizens hid as much of their history as they could in vaults underground. Some of these have yet to be found. Matrion became a slum under colonial rule, and no one of Matrionic decent was allowed to own property. An underground resistance began to form, called the People's Great Front. The PGF immediately went to Pylion for weapons, and these began to arrive from Pylion's colonies in the north around 1712. Plans for a revolution began.

The Freedom Wars (1716-1723)
On March 26, 1716, the 600th anniversary of the founding of Matrion. A group of men working with the old monarchy in hiding met under the city. There they and King Benerut II drafted and ratified a declaration stating that the Mayarland territory was hereby independent from Miracium. At noon, the bell of the city tower rang twice, as normal. As it rang, the city's women came out, waving the banner of the old Matrionic Order, and headed for the King Matthew Plaza. 750 Miracine troops confronted them, ordering them to disperse. They were at a standstill for about an hour, until the Miracine commander gave the troops permission to fire. While this standstill happened, men grabbed their weapons, and surrounded the plaza. Before the Miracines fired the first shot, these men came out and engaged with the troops. After the now united mob executed the force and their commander, they stormed the governors manor, beheaded him, and crowned King Benerut II as the King of Matros. The Freedom Wars officially began. Miracium was in a global war at the time, so the new Kingdom of Matrion could easily sweep through the continent, freeing a huge portion of the colonies and giving Matros a huge amount of territory with recognition. The Kingdom of Matrion was recognized by Pylion first, in 1718. Miracium and many other powers recognized it in 1723, with the Treaty of Matrion. The treaty also gave Matrion control over the Tehasa and Surxana.

The Royal Archives
The Royal Archives are a network of chambers under the city of Matrion. Construction of these chambers began in 1115 to house the history of what was then the world, as Matrion had just become the center of Mayartic and East Coast cultures. The archives hold documents on the history of the Americas that date back to as early as 250 CE. The archive is directly controlled by the king of the HHK, and you can only request to view a document, only the king can browse it. The archives is known to own maps of the Confederation of Mayarland, speeches from colonial lords, and documentation of most cultures east of the Mississippi. The archive was mostly sealed off from 1609 to 1721 to keep the documents inside safe from colonial empires, like Miracium and others. The secrecy of the archives has led some to believe there are documents that could shake the planet in the archive, but no one knows entirely what is in these ancient halls.
