'''Haven''', officially referred to as the '''The Holy City of Haven''' is a city state kingdom, made up of a huge floating city north of [[Sunetti]].
'''Haven''', officially referred to as the '''The Kingdom of Haven''' is a sovereign state in North-West Internatia. Its mainland is bordered to the East by Ruthsina and Atsoumpalia; to the South by Alexandria.


Haven is considered an hermit kingdom, mostly known for it's religious beliefs, advanced naval technologies and it's floating city, the only one in [[Internatia]]. The population of Haven is around 750 000, and with this relatively large population for a small city, the population density is really high. 100% of the population live in the floating city. It is the smallest country in Internatia in terms of area.
The current Havenian state was established after the Reconquista of the havenian homeland after the collapse of the Irlandian civilization in Internatia. The current ruler is [[Sophia I of Haven | Her Majesty Queen Sophia I of Haven]] since 21 February 2012.


 
Haven is considered to be a great power in Internatia, with significant military influence thanks to it's navy and high tech military. It's economy is based on clean energy , military exports and advanced technology researches.


== History ==
Havenians are deeply religious people and believe in the god Ahura, God of knowledge. Haven is multilingual thanks to a massive immigration process initiated by Queen Sophia I to reunite all Ahuran believers in the homeland.


Once part of an ancient empire, only the floating City of Haven remains. Havenian legends say that a huge civil war almost destroyed pre-Havenian civilization and the floating city was given by the almighty Ahura to protect the survivors from destruction. Those who survived dedicated their lives to worship Ahura, who gave them food, shelter and a city that will protect believers forever.
= History =


A hermit nation for many years, foreigners were forbidden to enter the holy city and a huge naval fleet prevented any foreigners from invading the holy city. The City is currently floating on the Granda Ocean north of Sunetti. There are rumors that Haven can be lifted in the sky and float above the ocean but nobody living today can confirm this rumor.
==First Kingdom==


== Politics ==
The oldest documents date the foundation of the Kingdom in 1455, on the ruins of a previous city-state, by a group of refugees led by Ahura, God of knowledge and the first King of Haven, Justinian I. Haven was a really small platform floating with unknown technology. Havenians feared an invasion so they drove the city away from the continent and entered in diplomatic isolation for more than 100 years. Thanks to Ahura's knowledge, Havenians learned to harness the powers of nature.


Today, Haven is an absolute monarchy, ruled by a monarch supported by the Holy Church of Ahura. Even if Haven is not a democracy, every havenian monarch decisions were made for the common good and for the well being of every havenian. Because the Ahuran faith promote science, technology and cooperation, havenians don't consider their rulers as despotic and authoritarians. Monarchs don't act like despots because it is forbidden by Ahuran faith. Despotism create unhappiness and create chaos. Only faith, science and order can prevent chaos from destroying Haven again. Haven doesn't need a secret police to use repression with it's citizens because monarchs are children of Ahura and their duty is to lead according to Ahura's teaching.  
Havenian legends say that a huge civil war almost destroyed pre-Havenian civilization and the floating city was given by the almighty Ahura to protect the survivors from destruction. Those who survived dedicated their lives to worship Ahura, who gave them food, shelter and a city that will protect believers forever.  


Since the coronation of Queen Sophia, she asked havenians to elect the best citizens who will help here rule mighty Holy City. This privy council will help Queen Sophia finding new ideas to improve Haven and solve problems plaguing Haven, which is overpopulation and diplomatic isolation.
In 1634, foreign sailors found the city and tried to plunder it. The Royal guard killed them and their boats were given to the newly formed Royal navy. Havenians were traumatized by the event and King Robert I ordered the construction of an huge naval fleet to protect the holy city and prevent the savages from hurting Havenians again. In 1734, a trade fleet was build to supply the growing city but no foreigners were allowed inside the city, fearing another attack. Diplomatic relations were limited to prevent any foreigners from knowing too much about Havenian technology and it's location.


== Monarchy ==
==Modern Era==


Queen Sophia is the current ruler of Haven. She was crowned last year after her father King Constantine I died. She's only 19 years old and is currently unmarried. Few foreigners had the chance to meet her to witness her great beauty and wisdom. She's considered a liberal and a patron of arts.  
After the coronation of the new Queen, Her Majesty the Queen of Haven ordered the opening of diplomatic channels with every internatian nations. It's first contacts were with [[Tikata]] where the Prince Consort of Haven was born. Other embassies were opened and foreigners were allowed to enter the capital.  


== Military ==
==Reconquista and restoration==


Havenians are proud of their navy, one of the most powerful in Internatia. The only purpose of the naval fleet is to protect Haven from every invasion and to destroy enemies before their reach city gates. Haven is a floating fortress with impressive anti-air defenses to eliminate attackers trying to destroy the city. Even if Haven is an advanced military nation, there are no plans or desires to invade another country. War is chaotic, unpredictable and dangerous so no havenian ruler will agree to a military invasion.
The country called Irlandia was attacked by a plague known by Havenian scientists as the Great Destroyer. The irlandian government collapsed and more than 90 % of the population died. Havenian scientists managed to only save 700 000 people. Most havenians are immunized to this virus because Havenians discovered a cure years ago so archaeologists secretly working on irlandian soil were spared. They found ruins that legally allowed the government of Haven to claim the whole territory (or the fact the whole government of Irlandia died from the plague). The Holy City was once again connected to the ground for the first time in almost 600 years. A call from Queen Sophia and the Holy Church of Ahura to invite every ahuran believer to immigrate and gain automatic citizenship.


Haven will offer military support to every nation asking for help but will never agree to support a genocide.
However, the irlandian minority revolted against the Havenian rule and after several terrorist attack targeting goverment official and the Royal Family, Prince Thomas of Tikata was badly wounded in protecting Queen Sophia, pregnant with twins at that time. This event triggered the full civil war that lasted more than a month. 10 000 civilians (havenians and lrlandians) died in this conflict and the Havenian army succeeded in crushing the rebels. Her Majesty the Queen offered amnesty to every Irlandian wishing to stay in Haven and give up their weapons and claim on the Holy Land. More than 400 000 irlandians accepted this deal and received government support to rebuilt their houses, schools and hospitals. More than 300 000 Irlandians chose to leave the country. These citizens will never be allowed to come back. This peace deal was harsh and controversial but it finally restored stability.

=Politics=


The Holy City of Haven plan to open embassies in every Internatian country and plan to have peaceful and positive relationships with every nations.  
Haven is a constitutional monarchy that operate under a constitution approved by a council of scholars recruited from all over Internatia. The constitution guarantee human dignity, the separation of power between the monarch, the federal structure and rule of law.  


Havenian diplomats are in negociation with The [[Symphony Isles]] to open trade between the two nations. Diplomats are working to find a common ground and her majesty Queen Sophia agreed to make concessions about our religion policies in exchange for a new trade relationship. Havenian diplomats are waiting for a answer from The Symphony Isles.
Haven has a hereditary monarch and a council of governors. The council of governors is a council where members are the 7 governors from havenian provinces. Their mandate is to support the government and the head of state in the administration of the kingdom.
The council of governors are responsible for naming ministers from a list provided by the Head of state. Candidate must be experienced havenians with no political affiliation. Their mandate are limited to 4 years and can be dismissed by a majority vote from the Council of governors and final approval from the head of state.
This government was introduced after a failed experiment called « representative democracy » which ended in a civil war between monarchists and republicans, More than 5 000 citizens died in the civil war and thanks to the military and the Queen power and reputation, both sides were forced to disarm. A transition government was imposed until a new constitution and government was named in December 2016.


Haven hope these negotiations will be an example of how Haven want to be part of the international stage and be a positive influence. If other nations wish to open embassies in Haven, space will be allocated for diplomats and a guide will be given to educate them about our culture, our faith and our laws. We hope these precautions will prevent any diplomatic incident that could have an unfortunate ending.

Tonallán openly supported the Irlandian government in exile and asked the G10 to impose sanctions on Haven. However, Tikata said it would veto any sanction against Haven.
No Tonallani is allowed in Haven and as long as their government will support aggressive foreign policies that threaten Haven stability, they will be forbidden to enter Haven.

= Haven Capital City =
Haven Capital City is the economic, political and religious center of Haven. It is the oldest city in the country and was previously an floating city. Believed to be a gift from Ahura himself to the first King of Haven, most havenians consider the capital as the holy site of the Ahuran faith. Until recently, the capital was forbidden to foreigners to protect it's secrets. After the reconquest of the mainland, the capital was reconnected to the land. Home to more than 4 million people, it is the biggest city in the country. Many consider the capital as one of the most beautiful city in northern Internatia with it's water canals, impressive skyscrapers and vegetation everywhere.
It's greatest landmark is the Royal Palace of Haven, where the Royal family live.
[[File:Haven-Capital-city.jpg|Image]]
= Economy =
Haven is a stable high tech economy. The biggest industries are research, shipbuilding, defense, aquaculture and are mostly controlled by crown corporations. Service industries are private owned.
Education is really important because technology is a gift from Ahura and havenians must be educated to develop new technologies. Only science allowed Haven to survive in an hostile environment.
Energy production is 100 % CO2 free. Havenian scientists mastered the fusion power with deuterium. By refining deuterium from sea water, Haven have an almost unlimited energy supply. Worried this knowledge could be used to create weapons of mass destruction, only a limited number citizens have access to this technology and their identity are unknown. Current estimations from scientists forecast that Haven will have enough energy supply until our Sun dies, which is 5 billion years. In a spirit of cooperation, the deuterium reactor technology was shared with havenian allies like Tikata.
A new energy generator was built at the heart of the capital, powerful enough to supply energy for more than 10 million citizens for decades. Scientists gave the name of "Heart of Haven" to this technological achievement.
=Demographics=
Haven is a multicultural and multilingual country, thanks to the massive immigration from every ahuran believer from other countries.
750 000 citizens, mostly resident of the capital are descendants from the first Havenians who stayed on the floating city for centuries. Except the irlandian minority, the majority of Haven population is made of Havenians who fled the overpopulation of the city decades and centuries ago to move in other internatian countries. After the reconquest of the homeland, they all came back to be reunited with their brothers and sisters.
== Ahuran Faith and other religions ==
Ahura was part of the Old Gods pantheon. However, theological differences created a schism because proto-Havenians started to worship only Ahura, the God of Knowledge. It is because of the Old Gods religion that Havenians were persecuted more than 550 years ago and forced to exile. Ahura gave Havenians the holy city as a fortress to protect it's believers. Ahura is the protector of Haven.
Every havenian is a member of the Holy Church of Ahura, the only faith in Haven right now.  Ahura faith order believers to promote peace, order and science.
After political reforms, freedom of religion became a new right for every Havenian. To confirm the separation of the Church from the state, the Holy Chuch of Ahura is not supported financially by the government.

Economy

Haven is a stable high tech economy. The biggest industries are research, shipbuilding, defense, aquaculture and are mostly controlled by crown corporations. Service industries are private owned.

Education is really important because technology is a gift from Ahura and havenians must be educated to develop new technologies. Only science allowed Haven to survive in an hostile environment.

Energy production is 100 % CO2 free. Havenian scientists mastered the fusion power with deuterium. By refining deuterium from sea water, Haven have an almost unlimited energy supply. Worried this knowledge could be used to create weapons of mass destruction, only a limited number citizens have access to this technology and their identity are unknown. Current estimations from scientists forecast that Haven will have enough energy supply until our Sun dies, which is 5 billion years. In a spirit of cooperation, the deuterium reactor technology was shared with havenian allies like Tikata.

A new energy generator was built at the heart of the capital, powerful enough to supply energy for more than 10 million citizens for decades. Scientists gave the name of "Heart of Haven" to this technological achievement.

Demographics

Haven is a multicultural and multilingual country, thanks to the massive immigration from every ahuran believer from other countries.

750 000 citizens, mostly resident of the capital are descendants from the first Havenians who stayed on the floating city for centuries. Except the irlandian minority, the majority of Haven population is made of Havenians who fled the overpopulation of the city decades and centuries ago to move in other internatian countries. After the reconquest of the homeland, they all came back to be reunited with their brothers and sisters.

Ahuran Faith and other religions

Ahura was part of the Old Gods pantheon. However, theological differences created a schism because proto-Havenians started to worship only Ahura, the God of Knowledge. It is because of the Old Gods religion that Havenians were persecuted more than 550 years ago and forced to exile. Ahura gave Havenians the holy city as a fortress to protect it's believers. Ahura is the protector of Haven.

Every havenian is a member of the Holy Church of Ahura, the only faith in Haven right now. Ahura faith order believers to promote peace, order and science.

After political reforms, freedom of religion became a new right for every Havenian. To confirm the separation of the Church from the state, the Holy Chuch of Ahura is not supported financially by the government.
