However, the of Crown Princess Yi Sen on the day of her inauguration by communist sympathizers resulted in a costly Civil War that led to Hani’s four-decade long division. During the four-decade long division, Hani experienced minor border skirmishes and two additional wars – the Second and Third Han Civil Wars before unifying under the democratic Northern government in the nineties.

Government and politics
Hani is a. The, either an Emperor or an Empress, is the , but serves a strictly ceremonial role and wields little real political power. Most political power is held by the, the. He or she is appointed by the monarch, but designated by people through a popular vote. Although the monarch appoints the Premier, Hani’s Constitution explicitly states the monarch must appoint whoever the major designated in the elections.

Hani’s is the National Diet. The National Diet is, consisting of two chambers; the House of Representatives and the House of Councillors. The National Diet as a whole has seven hundred seats that are elected through popular vote when the legislature is dissolved once every six years. All adults eighteen and above have, with a secret ballot for all elected offices. Both the Premier and the members of the National Diet are elected by the people of Hani.

Politic Parties
Hani is most commonly described as a, having been dominated by the , Nationalist Party since the fifties while other parties have been marginalized. The Nationalist Party ran its campaigns based on the promotion of, , , and and the maintained rapid socioeconomic and military expansion to secure Hani’s independence. Recently however, the ousting of the military junta in the early eighties and the end of the persecution of political dissidents has allowed minority parties have flourished and grown in number.

Prior to the eighties, any parties exhibiting socialist or communist values were banned due to anti-Communist sentiment at the time. Han unification and the incorporation of the socialist South has left to the lifting of the ban. The lift has led to the rise of the Han Socialist Party, a left-leaning Shinan-based party that emphasizes individualism and equality. Originally as little as only several seats in the National Diet, it grew to encompass roughly a fourth of the total seats (176 seats out of 700 seats). This does not change that fact that every Premier since Hani’s establishment as a democratic regime is of the Nationalist Party.

Administrative regions
Hani, as of now, is divided into seventeen provinces, four metropolitan cities, two lesser special cities, one greater special city, and one autonomous region. Hani is portrayed in maps as only seventeen subdivisions (where cities, save for the core of the Ansan special city, are included into their surrounding province) for the sake of simplicity.

LGBT rights
According to a survey done in 2009, Hani ranks as the most LGBT-friendly among the 40 participating countries. According to the survey, 70% of the participants support and, 23% felt neutral about the issue, and a mere 7% were hostile towards the issue.

Similarly to China (see ) prior to Western influence in the nineteenth century, the homosexual community was treated with little hostility. While it was considered normal for men or women to lust after someone of the same gender, men are expected to continue being masculine and to have an additional female partner to prove they still retain it [their masculinity]. Today, this attitude remains basically unchanged (apart from the fact that you do not need an additional female partner to be considered masculine) despite recent. Homosexual men that are deemed feminine under social standards are pressured to acquire, even against their own will. The LGBT rate in Hani is estimated to be 10%, with a disparity between the North (12.5%) and South (5%).

had been never criminalised in Hani. Imperial Japan, however, did impose some anti-LGBT policies (though it did not directly ban same-sex acts) during its occupation of Hani. These policies were proven to be highly ineffective.

Military
The Ministry of Defense and Public Security is responsible for the coordination of Hani's defense and military capability. Hani spends three percent of its gross domestic product on military spending, making Hani have the world's third highest military expenditure after China and the United States. With a strong technological–industrial complex, Hani has the second most powerful military in the world according to both the and the. The Han Armed Forces are a tri-service organization; consisting of the Han Imperial Army, the Han Imperial Air Force, and the Han Imperial Maritime Force. Hani's military policy of non-interventionism is largely attributed to Hani's neutralization in the eighties as part of the joint-Han Unification statement. Having renounced its right to declare war, the Han military is limited to either a defense-oriented role or a player in humanitarian operations unless it feels provoked by another power, which by then, according to the Constitution, gives Hani the permission to make a preemptive attack on the enemy.

During the late twentieth century, both Hani's enacted compulsory military service for all able bodied men. This conscription by the nineties, though losses in the number of personnel have been replaced by advanced arms technology and semiautonomous stealth drones. As of today, Hani has over seven million active military and reserve personnel. The reserve personnel of Hani predominantly consists of ex-conscripts with an obligation to undertake three days of training annually.

Languages

The Han language is sometimes split into two languages, but the general consensus among Han linguists is that there are two main dialects of Han – the Northern Ansan and Southern Shinan dialects, which are spoken by two thirds and a third of the population respectively. The Ansan dialect, originating in the Ansan metropolitan area, is the standardized version of Han. The differences between the two dialects have cemented after division. Official government documents are written in the Ansan dialect.

The older form of the Han language,, was historically written with , deriving from the of India. However, as Hani sinicized, of China and  of Japan was adopted during the Tan dynasty. The former script was used to write sounds found in both Han and Chinese, while the latter script was used to write sounds only found in Han. As part of a campaign to standardize the Ansan dialect during the Yi dynasty and to sew together differences between regional dialects, Han scholars chose to write Han in (known as  in Korea) as it was a purely syllabary and an easy script to learn. Today, Koryoja is the most common script; Hanja is now only found in official texts, and Hiragana is completely extinct.
