History
Work in progress.

Geography
The river Hadar defines the entire republic. There is a sport-related rivalry between the regions up the Hadar and the regions down the Hadar. The climate is calm, with warm temperatures during the solstice, while the temperatures are cooler during the monstice. The northern regions of Makedonia are quite mountaineous, loads of nature with wild animals are located here. Some might even say Makedonia is Heaven's Point. Makedonia is surrounded by a natural barrier, being the Apella Mountains. In the east lie the Karatha Mountains, dividing Hadarnissos with Okendall. Brediaros and Saenatia are known for their green landscapes full of hills. Constantios is more dry, fascinating rock formations are scattered among these lands. Athaena holds the holy mountain of Alendia, with its impressive waterfalls. Herena, goddess of life was allegedly born on this lonely mountain. Thera-Hadar is more flat, great forests can be found here. Rumour says that in these forests live species that have yet to be discovered.

Political System
Hadarnissos is one of the few non-kingdoms in the Golden Land. Here, the leader of the country gets chosen by the civilians. To achieve the rank of civilians you must contribute to the army one way or another. This can be achieved by contributing directly to the army. For example, farmers, armourers, weapon smiths, horse breeders, medical staff and ofcourse soldiers were allowed to vote. However for those who didn't contribute directly to the army were allowed to support the army financially, so the rank of civilian could be achieved. The leader was called Maxentios named after the famous general who conquered the human world entirely. The Maxentios is in command of the army, however, the Maxentios may not decide everything by him or herself. The parliament had to agree in order for a decision of the Maxentios to go through. Only in times of war is the Maxentios allowed full control over the actions of the army. The Maxentios elections are always quite tense, since anyone can put him or herself up for candidate. This is a big contrast to the parliament elections, where both parties make a selection of candidates. The parliament itself was 200 members large. The parliament building is by far the most impressive piece of human architecture, with the council hall being its centerpiece.

The parliament is divided in two parties. The Party of the Great Lion, also known as the Reds and the Party of the Magnificent Unicorn, also known as the Blues. Throughout history, it was mostly the Blues dominating the position of Maxentios. However, no Blue member has been chosen as Maxentios ever since the Great Massacre where many Red party members were killed. The people lost their faith in the Blue Party and now the Reds have been dominating the parliament.
