HISTORY:
The Modern History of the Federal Empire of Hiiraan started at the end of the first world war, which had many nations fighting for the 2 superpowers. Hiiraan was allied with German, providing raw material to the Germany war machine. The defeat of Germany made sure the end of the Old-age Hiiraan, The Italians, which had a huge stack of supplies and soldiers in nearby Territories left the nation at the end of June to leave wrecked Hiiraan to rebuild itself. On July 1st 1946, the first real movement for a new government gained support and was crowned the new government of Hiiraan.
GOVERNMENT:
The Federal Empire of Hiiraan is a highly centralized, Imperial Republic ruled by a Parliamentary System of Government. The Government is comprised of 4 branches: Presidential, Executive, Legislative and Judicial. Each branch is comprised of citizens who are either voted into office or Chosen into office.
The ideology of the Empire is that of a new brand of conservativism. Whilst it is a new brand, it is not neo-conservatism. It is based on the old conservative values. The government is highly centralized, it grants its populace freedom to live as they please, as long as they stay within the confines of the law and order. The realist-isolationism of the Republic keeps them out of all but direct events in the international circuit. Realist-isolationism states that while the world is not a vacuum and countries are not individual actors, there is no world order (thus global anarchy on the whole) and a nation should not get involved with what does not directly effect them.
Law and Justice:
The Qur'an is the principal source of Islamic law, the Sharia. It contains the rules by which the Muslim world is governed (or should govern itself) and forms the basis for relations between man and God, between individuals, whether Muslim or non-Muslim, as well as between man and things which are part of creation. The Sharia contains the rules by which a Muslim society is organized and governed, and it provides the means to resolve conflicts among individuals and between the individual and the state.
There is no dispute among Muslims or Hiiraanese that the Qur'an is the basis of the Sharia and that its specific provisions are to be scrupulously observed. The Hadith and Sunna are complementary sources to the Qur'an and consist of the sayings of the Prophet and accounts of his deeds. The Sunna helps to explain the Qur'an, but it may not be interpreted or applied in any way which is inconsistent with the Qur'an.
Though there are other sources of law—i.e., ijma', (consensus), qiyas, (analogy), ijtihad, (progressive reasoning by analogy)—the Qur'an is the first and foremost source, followed by the Hadith and Sunna. Other sources of law and rules of interpretation of the Qur'an and the Hadith and Sunna follow in accordance with a generally accepted jurisprudential scheme
The Qur'an contains a variety of law-making provisions and legal proscriptions interspersed throughout its chapters (suwar) and verses (ayat). A number of rules exist for interpreting these provisions, such as the position of a given ayah within the context of the surah, which in turn is interpreted in accordance with its place in the sequence of revelations, its reference to other revelations, and its historical context in relation to particular conditions which existed at the time of the given revelation. These and other rules are known as the science of interpretation (ilm usul aI-fiqh). According to these rules, for example, one initially is to refer to a specific provision and then to a general provision dealing with a particular situation. No general provision can be interpreted to contradict a specific provision, and a specific rule will supersede a general proposition. A general provision, however, is always interpreted in the broadest manner, while a specific provision is interpreted in the narrowest manner. Reasoning by analogy is permitted, as are applications by analogy, except where expressly prohibited. Simplicity and clear language are always preferred. Similarly, the clear spirit of certain prescriptions cannot be altered by inconsistent interpretations. A policy-oriented interpretation within the confines of the rules of jurisprudence is permissible and even recommended, as is the case with the doctrine of ijtihad (progressive reasoning by analogy).
All of Hiiraan's Provinces both adopted the Provisional Judicial Laws which apply the sharia as the basis of all Laws in Somalia. Upon voting by the Parliament and the Judicial Council, some laws, including deaths for individuals who commit heinous crimes can be turned into life in prison sentences and a womens word will equal to a man's word only if the women can provide at least one witness.
MILITARY:
The defense of the homeland has always been a prime concern of all community-minded Hiiraanese, as such the Ministry of Defense currently receives 30+% of total annual government budget. The large portion is also explained by the numerous threats that loom - the threats of socialism and communism are often used in the highest levels of political discourse.
The Defense Forces are separated into 4 branches, the Marine Core, the Naval Forces, the Air Forces, and the Special Forces. The Highest Authority of the Armed forces is the High Command, which is Commanded by the President of the Imperial Republic. The High Command is further Separated into 3 Commands: the Naval Command, the Air Command, the Marine Command. With the Special Forces Commanded directly by the High Command.
INDUSTRY
Hiiraan exports petroleum and petroleum products, natural gas, wood and wood products, metals, chemicals, and a wide variety of civilian and military manufactures
NATIONAL HOLIDAYS:
Hiiraanese Holidays are based on the Lunar Calender. Most Hiiraanese Holidays are Islamic Holidays except for Independence Day and Military Appreciation Day.
