Huscar Sun is a small state located in Caxcana and is largely ethnically homogenous to the Teh'anya Huscarians ethnic group.

History

Not much is known about the early history of Huscar Sun, and much of it may be mythical in nature. According to legend in 5,000 BCE, the Realm of Existence was created by Hus, he then retreated to heaven leaving holy spots in his wake. The first societies may have developed around 1000 BCE by the ancestral Huscarian people's who primarily foraged small plants and animals. By the year 200, small settlements began to built in Sak Valley, due to Sak River providing a key source of water for crops. Around the time, worhsip of a singular god named Hus or "The One" who is represented via the sun. Studying solar and astronomy was a key consideration of early societies who built large mud brick structures to align with the path of the sun, moon and stars.

The first clear date of Huscarian history at least in common years is 1480 dated as Year 1 of the Huscarian Cycle Calendar. This was the year State of Huscar Sun was formed by unifying several settlement's under the first Sapa Huscar or "Master of the Realm of Hus" due to his title. From then on the rules of government were passed from father to son, to maintain control through much of history. Sapa Huscar had many wives so that their bloodlines could remain. In 1660, the Sapa Civil War began when the sons of various mothers raised armies over spite for each other. There were the Chrichuani and the Sak-Te bands, which were the two most powerful clans. Seeking to hold control of the inland turquoise trade, the Costeno Empire held a conference in Puerto del Rio Sak, where a body known as the Realm Council was formed. The Realm Council would have representatives from each of the 8 bands, along with clerics of the Temani Hus.

The system lasted even as a Puerto del Rio Sak declared its independence as a city-state. In 1898, Sapa Tehyanhaki declared the Dominion of Huscar Sun. Over the next few decades, the nation modernized internally, creating a closed market economy and state planning of farming, roads, and water management. After Sapa Tehyanhaki, Sapa Alero, the first of the Meszito ethnic group, began a general program of reforms with more power for local authorities, and pushed for syncretic beliefs which combined Catholicism, Temani Hus, and Zindism. Alero also practiced neutrality during the Great War, as he allowed Daryan traders in the Dominion. After his death in 1973, a series of radical leaders took control, taking Puerto del Rio Sak by force in 1978 as Huscar moved to mineral and coal exports. In 1995, a large-scale drought crippled Huscar Sun, leading to brief riots over food and water allocation.

In 2015, Sapa Auquiay came to power of Huscar Sun, and he quickly created One Huscar TV to serve as a government media outlet. Additionally, tourism was promoted as he guided the country towards a careful balance of strict water and resource management, and also commercial ventures such as casinos, promoting cultural assets. In 2021, as inequality reached a historic high, a large-scale drought led to a massive peasant revolt, particularly in the Central region. Sapa Auquiay repressed the protests, yet he was soon assassinated by a bodyguard. This led to a successor, Sapa Hia'Ced, taking control and opening several desalination plants along Huscar's short coast. Additionally, the Council of the Realm was reformed to include various experts. Overall, outsiders have called Hia'Ced a technocrat and have continued the legacy of Sapa Alero.

Geography and Climate

Huscar is centered primarily along the Sak River, which is fed by various seasonal washes and rivers as well as snowmelt in the Chrichuani Mountains of the east. Huscar is extremely arid, with crop production only occurring through a carefully managed irrigation system. In the west, the narrow coastal region mostly consists of rocky coastline and the Sak River Delta, which are slightly more temperate. There are no natural lakes, with the Sapa Tehyanhaki Reservoir being the largest body of water. Nearby is Mt Tece Sapa Kah at 2,816 meters of elevation the highest point in Huscar; on the flip side, the lowest point the Wahak Fontok Depression, is at -72 meters.

Demographics and Cites

Huscar has around 5.5 million citizens, mostly in the Valley of Sak. The largest city is Huscar Jukki with 860,000 people, located along the banks of the Sak River, around 30 miles to the west, at the junction of the Sak River and the semi-dry Tsh'hun River is Suyn Central, which serves as the capital of Huscar Sun due to its central location. It has around 180,000 residents, mostly civil servants or medicine women. Additionally, the city of Puraya Wa'hani Sak along the coast is the second largest city with 250,000 residents. Outside of these, there are a number of smaller towns and villages. Each village has a temple along with a local mayor and a local distribution center. Central Teh'anyans are the largest ethnic group in both all of Huscar and in major cities. Outside of these, there are a number of smaller towns and villages. Each village has a temple along with a local mayor and a local distribution center.

85.4% of the population is ethnically Huscarian or Teh'anya. This is divided into three major groups: Central, Chricani, and Coastal. The differences are primarily geographical region and traditions rather than true ethnic differences. The second largest group is the Mestizos, who are those of mixed Huscarian, Costenoian, and/or Daryan ancestry. Many live in Puraya Wa'hani Sak due to the city's history of trade and various ethnic groups, and today make up 9.8% of the population. Additionally, there are historical communities of Costenoian, Daryan, and even Haesanite in urban areas, primarily in the trade and casino industry.

Culture

Sapa Hau is the state religion of Huscar Sun, with it being the sole legal religion until the 1970s. Sapa Hau is a monotheistic faith that believes in a singular divine creator known as Hus, who is represented as the Sun and is considered the source of all life, animals, and environments. Sapa Hau promotes daily observance and study of celestial patterns as a form of worship. Solar and lunar temples can be found in most settlements, with sunrise and sunset often being structured as the daily time of transition. Additionally, due to the hot climate, midday is considered the time of rest and of communal meals. Art often serves as a form of worship and praise to the Sun, with the Sun and a maze-like design known as Per'ahni appearing often.

Order is prioritized over chaos, and Huscarian culture promotes hard work and thus reward and favor from Hus. Laziness and alcoholism are seen as social taboos, as they take time away from productivity. In fact, shops that sell alcohol are only open at night to prevent consumption during the day. Halogenic plants are common in certain areas, such as the Chrichuani Mountains, and are believed to be gifts from Hus to reach into and traverse the realm of the divine. Women are valued as important within Huscarian society as nurturing forces and providers of childcare, with medicine women being both medical and religious positions of great importance.

Government

The Sapa Huscar or Lord of the Realm of Huscar Sun is the chief executive, selected until 2021 by just the Council of the Realm and since then by a joint electoral college of the Council of the Realm as well as representatives from each of the 8 regions of Huscar Sun elected locally. Prior to 2021, the Sapa Huscar was believed to be infallible by law and thus had the authority to overrule any law drafted by the Council of the Realm. This comes from the belief that Hus, the supreme being in the universe, had granted authority to the Sapa Huscar. Yet, recent theological and political developments have led to new laws stating that the Sapa Huscar is not infallible, and to the creation of a Council of Justice to challenge the legality of laws.

The legislative body of Huscar Sun is the Realm Council, 33% are lifetime clergy and medicine women, 33% are elected by local temples of the Sapu Hus Order, and 33% are elected by proportional representation. The Realm Council is largely tasked with managing state agencies, the military, and drafting the annual budget. In a local sense, planning committees are bodies that are elected by citizens and managed by a clergy member. These planning committees make decisions based on decrees by the Sapa Huscar.

Economy

Huscar Sun is managed as a planned state economy, with all businesses required to be registered with a local planning committee. In recent years, large corporations have emerged in special economic zones, and these are typically taxed little and dominate the tourism and leisure sectors. State-owned companies make up a large share of all economic activity, with all farms being required to provide the Central Resource Bank (CRB) with a certain amount of resources per season. This is meant to counteract droughts or poor conditions so that a general supply of food can be provided. Additional water is an essential resource and thus managed by Wa'hani State Resources, which allocates water amounts per person, with strict penalties for overusage. Despite recent advancements, Huscar Sun is considered a semi-industrialized developing country due to a low standard of living in rural areas and an average yearly wage of around 2,900 Sanctarian Marks or 345,700 Huscarian Ta'all

Agriculture

Huscar Sun traditionally had little large-scale agriculture outside of areas near rivers; however, the construction of canals and irrigation systems has allowed for large-scale farms to be built. Beans are the most commonly produced crop as well as wild rice in areas near the coast. Cactus fruit however is the crop most associated with Huscar due to its wide variety of usage and has become widely exported in recent years due to its sweet taste and usage as a natural sugar substitute.

Security and Military

Military service is mandatory for all 18-year-olds for a period of 18 months, during which time they train in both military tactics and resource management. Once this period has ended all adults enter 20 years of "mandatory readiness" where they must report for yearly exercises. This allows for Huscar Sun to have an active military size of around 150,000 yet a reserve force of around 3.2 million. Reservists may also leave this status of servitude if they either join the Sapu Hau as a priest or medicine woman, or, as of 2022, are employed by a private corporation operating in the Special Economic Zones. Culturally military service is viewed as a great honor and once the 20-year period is complete, housing and land are provided by the state.
