Hrahen, officially the Republic of Hrahen (Hrahenian: Rapubrika Hrahena), is a country located on the Wolfy Peninsula in Western Europe, bordering Wolfyland to the north and northwest, Yare to the south, and Yarede to the southwest. The country covers a mostly hilly area of 29,875 square kilometers (11,534 square miles) and is home to over 4.2 million people and 3.9 million wolfies as of 2023. Its capital and largest city is Barkrakkar, with the other three major cities being Krakun, Prapekk, and Yakkarkrakkar.

Hrahen was colonized by Czechs in the 1500s and later became a part of Wolfyland in 1807, soon gaining independence in 1819. Following World War II, Hrahen became a communist state for 42 years, only becoming a democracy again in 1990 after massive protests.

Today, Hrahen is relatively underdeveloped compared to the rest of the Wolfy Peninsula, ranking 2nd in the Human Development Index. However, its economy is growing rapidly, and the country has welfare and universal healthcare, is a member of the United Nations and the Wolfy Alliance, and is a candidate for membership in the European Union.

Etymology
The country's name comes from the old Taakan word ahen, meaning 'hills', referring to the hilly and sometimes mountainous landscape of the country.

Prehistory
According to scientists and archeologists, modern-day Hrahen has been inhabited by humans for about 110,000 years, with wolfies settling in the area around 6,800 BC.

Czech colonization
Czech explorers have started colonizing the area in 1546, eventually having conquered the entirety of the East Coast (Východní pobřeží, Czech word for modern-day Hrahen during colonization) by 1555. While most other czech colonies on the peninsula were forcibly introduced to the Czech language, Czech colonists weren't as interested in the East Coast, causing Czech (now mainly Wolfish) to not have as much of an impact on the local language, although it still has notably borrowed some words and grammatical rules, such as the word rapubrika (from Czech ' republika ', meaning 'republic') and vlkkik (from Czech 'vlčík ', meaning 'wolfy').

Wolfish Hrahen
During the 1600's to 1807, Wolfish Hrahen (Czech: Vlčiské Hrahensko, Wolfish: Vlšiské Hrohensko) was a province of the Union of Wolfyland (Czech: Vlčiský Svaz, Wolfish: Vlšiský Svoz), an autonomous district of the Holy Roman Empire and later the Austrian Empire.

Wolfish and Hrahenian Independence
On July 14, 1807, Wolfyland became an independent country, with the new king formally declaring Hrahen as a province, giving it the name Hrahen Province (Wolfish: Provinsie Hrohensko). However, while Hrahenians were relieved to finally be free from Czech and Austrian rule, they still wanted to have their homeland back, and thus March 1819, Hrahen declared independence from Wolfyland, which it soon gained on April 1st, 1819, officially becoming the Republic of Hrahen, the first republic on the Wolfy Peninsula.

Communist era
Shortly after World War II, a communist uprising was happening in Hrahen, with the number of members of the Hrahenian Communist Party rapidly gaining hundreds of thousands of new members every year. In the 1948 elections, the Communist Party gained 44% of all votes, thus winning the elections and starting a new era of Communist rule under the Socialist Republic of Hrahen (Hrahenian: Sokkialista Rapubrika Hrahena).

Beginning in the 1960's, many housing estates were built by the government mainly in urban areas to accommodate the rising population, with the panel-built residential buildings earning the nickname Ponelaran (lit. 'panel buildings') among Hrahenians. Human and wolfy rights were also considerably lower, as citizens were imprisoned or, in rare cases, executed for criticizing the government or attempting to escape the country.

Present day
In mid-1990, Hrahen again became a democratic republic following the 1990 Hrahenian revolution and was renamed the Republic of Hrahen (Hrahenian: Rapubrika Hrahena). Following the collapse of communism, about 1.4 million Hrahenians left the country, and economic growth was slow during the 1990s.

In the 21st century, due to several economic and societal reforms, Hrahen has one of the fastest-growing economies among other post-Communist countries, having more than tripled its GDP per capita, attracting tens of thousands of immigrants and even Hrahenians who have returned to the country since the 90s.

Government
The Republic of Hrahen is a unitary state under a parliamentary republic. The current president is Bakkun Perasir, and the prime minister is Noran Kkartar.

Administrative divisions
Hrahen is divided into 11 districts (Hrahenian: Tisrikkte, singular: Tisrikkt), which are further subdivided into counties (Hrahenian: Vilakte, singular: Vilakt). Each district has its own capital, except for Barkrakkar, which is both a district and a municipality.
