	The '''Free State of Haifa''' was an independent republic on the eastern shore of [[Lake Morovia]] in central [[Keltia]], administered from [[Abeis]] between {{AN\|1602}} and {{AN\|1620}}. It was proclaimed under [[Ismael Todochev]] after the [[Commonwealth of Hamland]] failed to secure recognition of a wider territorial claim that would have carried Haifa onto the map with it, and Todochev held throughout that union with the Commonwealth remained a matter of timing rather than of principle. At its fullest extent the republic comprised six regions and reached a population of 9,527,179, the great majority of them in the annexed territory of [[North Antarctica]] rather than in Haifa proper. The people of Haifa proper descended from Israati, Afrikaanian, and Babki settlement on the lake shore.

The people of Haifa proper descended from Israati, Afrikaanian, and Babki settlement on the lake shore.

	The state rested on diamonds, banking, and shipping. The fields south of Abeis were the largest industry, the banking houses of the capital were its second, and both traded through Hammish institutions: Haifan firms were listed on the [[Ham50]] and the republic belonged to the [[SCUE]], whose credit it issued under its own name as the [[Lliev]]. Foreign policy was formally neutral and extended unconditional recognition to every Micran state. Among its first agreements, the Treaty of Abeis with the Empire of the [[Alexandria\|Alexandrians]] bound each party to treat an attack on the other as an attack on itself.

	Four constitutional texts were written in eighteen years, none of them settling the length of a prime-ministerial term, and no Prime Minister after the founder completed one. [[Benjamin Meir]], ratified in {{AN\|1615}}, governed for a single session; his ministry concluded the Treaty of St. Andre with [[Natopia]] in {{AN\|1616}}, trading the principality of [[Whales\|Walstadt]] for the port city of Port St. Andre, and he resigned both the premiership and his citizenship within the month. No successor was chosen and the office stood vacant for the republic's remaining four years. The [[Protectorate of the Wallis Islands\|Wallis Islands]] left in {{AN\|1617}}, and in {{AN\|1620}} what remained of the citizenry concluded the Agreement of Dissolution, which passed Haifa proper to the Commonwealth of Hamland as [[Hammish Haifa\|an autonomous territory]] and named the Most Serene Republic of [[Saint Andre\|St. Andre]] its successor state.

	Haifa sought association with the [[Commonwealth of Hamland]] first, and largely for a commercial reason: access to the Hammish stock market, on which its firms expected to be listed. The Commonwealth's wider claim failed to win recognition, and Haifa could not be carried onto the map inside it. The republic was proclaimed at Abeis in consequence, and dates its founding from that proclamation. Todochev held that independence was a matter of timing and that Haifa would rejoin the Commonwealth in due course. It never did, though the two states concluded a treaty in {{AN\|1606}} and the republic's economy remained wholly interlocked with the Hammish one until the end.

	Directives of the Foreign Office committed the new state to formal neutrality and to the unconditional recognition of every Micran nation, a doctrine it held to without exception. Within weeks of the proclamation Haifa concluded its first two agreements: the Treaty of Abeis with the Empire of the [[Alexandria\|Alexandrians]], which bound each party to treat an attack on the other as an attack on itself, and a treaty of friendship and cooperation with the Republic of [[North Antarctica]], which guaranteed that republic's neutrality. A treaty with the Republic of Mercury followed in the same period.

	The republic's last general election was held in {{AN\|1614}} on a six-seat proportional count and returned the [[Haifan Democratic Party]] with four seats against two for the Social Democrats.

	His ministry lasted a single session, and its principal act was the Treaty of St. Andre, concluded with [[Natopia]] in {{AN\|1616}}. Under it the principality of Walstadt passed to the Natopian crown and the port city of Port St. Andre passed to Haifa, an exchange negotiated on the Natopian side by the minister who would hold that empire's chancellorship for twenty-two years from {{AN\|1619}}. Sinders judged that the exchange undervalued Haifan holdings and had pressed instead for territory in the [[Skerry Isles]]. He voted for ratification nonetheless.

	Haifan culture is very complex, with many ethnicities making up its diverse societies. Ethnic Haifans bring most of their customs from their ancestors in the [[Israat]] region of Hamland. These include food, traditions, and sport. There is a large Afrikaanian minority that has sprung up a following of their native religion, Gorogoro. Also, the language of DakaÏuru is spoken between these people. The mesh of these two ethnic groups has brought different traditions, such as the annual Festival of Union, the celebration to mark the day when Haifans accepted the Afrikaanian refugees into their country.

			'''Haifa''' is an small nation situated in the east of Keltia, situated in eastern [[Micras]]. The capital, [[Abeis]], is also the largest city in the nation. There are two other major cities in Haifa, [[Keybir-Aviv]] and [[Jezeraah]].

			==History==
			Haifa was founded by fleeing Israat immigrants in 1970. However, many remains such as the Luxor Palace and Bungaÿo Shrine were left over from past feudal nations. In 1974, the first Prime Minister was elected. Herman Wozhlweitz, the first Prime Minister, established the basic principles of government for the nation. Haifa was relatively an agricultural nation until 1990, when diamond was first discovered south of Abeis. Around this time banking became another dominant economic force, and the country moved itself to a more capitalist and industrial economic scheme. In 2001, Haifa gained control of the Fenkel HQ, and 2007 saw a mass refugee movement of immigrants from Afrikaana arriving in the Northern Isles and Southern towns. In 2013 the nation gained two new territories, [[Walstadt]] and [[North Antarctica]]. Currently, the Prime Minister is Ismael Todochev, and the economic Haifa plays a major role in the Diamond and Banking industry of the region.

			==Geography==
			Haifa is a small nation, lying on the [[Maccabi River]]. The country is to the east of [[Lake Morovia]]. It is generally a flat country, with various hills spotting the countryside. Even though it is inland, the nation is generally considered a seafaring nation, as the water is a big helper to the economy, tourism, and the lifestyle of the people.

			===Regions===
			Other than mainland Haifa, there are also three protectorates and one territory.The regions themselves are split into cities and townships. and they are in close proximity of each other.

			Haifa's economy is made up of a large mining, shipping, banking, and research sector. The nation is one of the leaders in the diamond industry, and has research facilities around the country, especially in Keybir-Aviv. Many foreign companies set up offices in the [[Abeis Business District]], with the country having a diverse economic sector. The nation is part of the [[SCUE]], with Haifan Companies being traded on the [[Ham50]], the stock market of [[Hamland]]. Recently, fishing and tourism have grown as economic sectors in the country.

			==Infrastructure==
			The cities of Haifa are connected by the four major highways, H1-H4. There are many other smaller regional roads that interconnect the many villages and towns. The [[Haifan Rail]] is the major train line in the nation.

			===Airports===
			The nation's largest airport, [[Haifan International Airport]], located in Abeis, has flights all across Micras. The secondary airport is [[Keybir-Aviv International]], which is considerably smaller than it's sister airport.

			==Education==
			With the country having a 96% literacy rate, education is mandatory from ages 5-18. The country's top university [[Haifa National University]] in Abeis attracts many foreign students to its campus.

			==Culture==
			Haifan culture is very complex, with many ethnicities making up its diverse societies. Ethnic Haifans bring most of their customs from their ancestors in the [[Israat]] region of Hamland. These include food, traditions, and sport. There is a large Afrikaanian minority that has sprung up a following of their native religion, Gorogoro.
