Hamidiye (/haˈmidije/, Hamidian Turquese: Hamîdiyye /haˈmiːdije/), officially The Sultanate of Hamidiye (Saltanat-ı Hamîdiyye), is a sovereign state in central-southern Uletha. It is bordered by Demirhan Empire to the north and east and Alora to the west. It also shares a maritime border with these countries to the south via the Emerald Sea. The capital city is Hamîdiyye.

The Country has a total land area of 12,687 km² with a population of approximately 4,432,555 inhabitants. The capital, Hamîdiyye, shares its name with the name of the country and was previously known as Darü’s-Saltanat. Hamîdiyye, the country, was part of the Demirhan Empire for multiple centuries up until the mid-1800s. After the death of Sultan Abdülhamid II of the Demirhan Empire in 1821, Mehmet VI reigned the land and has started a modernation program. His brother, Sultan Osman I who was assigned to the area of Hamîdiyye today did not agree on the reforms that have been made, considering them as unauthenic to the actual Demirhan Empire. in 1841, Hamîdiyye has declared it self as the right successor of the Demirhan Empire which has started the civil wars with the Mehmet VI's dynasty. The war ended after a brief 6 months whereas Sultan Osman I considered himself as the true successor to his father. in the mid 20th century, Hamîdiyye would see itself transform into a unitary parlimentary constitutional monarchy which has been followed by a high economic growth.

Nowadays, Hamîdiyye is considered as a developing country with middle-income, mixed market economy. It is a member of the Association of South Ulethan Nations and the Assembly of Nations. Hamîdiyye is also predominantly Imanic and is a member of the Imani Council in Tabah, Mazan.


Etymology

The name of Hamîdiyye is related to Sultan Abdülhamid II whom is considered as the last lawful Sultan that rules the whole Demirhan land before the modernization program that was implemented by his son, Mehmet VI. The name is derived from the Mazanic name Ḥamīd (حميد), meaning "praiseworthy" or "laudable", and is a theophoric name often associated with Imani tradition. The suffix -iye (Hamidian Turquese: ـیه), of Mazanic origin, is commonly used in Hamidian to form adjectives or demonyms, conveying the meaning "related to" or "pertaining to."

The term Hamîdiyye thus literally means "pertaining to Hamid" or "of Hamid", and has been used to honor Sultan Abdülhamid II (r. 1803 - 1821), the 36th sultan of the Demirhan Empire and the last one ruling the main land as per Hamidian beliefs.

Hamîdiyye is located in central Southern Uletha, and in the South-East of West Uletha, on the shore of the landlocked Emerald Sea, extending for 12 thousand sq kilometers. The capital city, Hamîdiyye, is a the center of the country from the shore, at the edge. The old part of the capital is hidden by the Hamîdiyye Island close to the shore; it expanded to the area next to it and to the island in the 20st century.

Physiographic Regions

  The Hamîdiyye Mountain Range (33%)
  The Coastal Plain (6%)
  The Eastern Delta (32%)
  The Western Plain (29%)

Hamîdiyye is divided into three distinct physiographic regions: the eastern delta (32% of the country), the Hamîdiyye mountain range (39% of the country - 6% sometimes considered as the coastal plain), and the western plain (29% of the country).

The eastern delta is rich with lands suitable for farms, next to the main river of the country, called the Kilinc River. The river is a wide river that supports the whole country. One island is present at the edge of the river.

The Hamîdiyye mountain range stretches through the whole country and to the seashore in the south eastern parts of the country,the shore is very narrow with importance given to the mountains for cultural reasons. Multiple peaks can be found in the range with the most important one being the Aşani Peak in the center of the country at an elevation of 2,003 meters. The highest peak is at the northern part of the peak at 2132 meters above sea level. In the south of the country, the coast is the widest in the range. This shore is sometimes considered as the forth coastal plain physiographic region. Two islands can be found on the shore of the mountain range which have played an important role in the history of the country.

The Western plain ranges from the mountain range to the bordering river of Hoşk in the south. It is inland of the country and is important for general farming and was historically a connection line between the Demirhan Empire and the rest of the western world.

Topography

The territory of Hamîdiyye is defined by a prominent central mountain range that extends in an east–west direction across the country. This highland region forms the dominant geographical feature of the nation and reaches elevations exceeding 1,700 meters above sea level, with the peak being at the far-north-west of the country at 2132 meters above sea level. These mountains create a natural barrier that historically influenced settlement patterns, transportation routes, and regional identities.

Surrounding the highlands are zones of moderate elevation, including foothills and plateaus that range between 800 and 1,200 meters. These areas gradually give way to lower-lying plains and coastal regions, particularly in the northeast and southeast, where elevations fall below 200 meters. The southern and eastern coastlines are marked by fertile plains and river deltas, suggesting favorable conditions for agriculture and population density.

Several river systems originate in the central mountains and flow toward the coasts, contributing to the formation of fertile valleys and supporting both irrigation and settlement. The northern interior consists of broad, forested lowlands and rolling hills, which transition into neighboring regions. The main river flows from Demirhan up until the south on the eastern side of the map and is the main source of drinking water for Hamîdiyye.

The stark contrast between the mountainous interior and the surrounding lowland plains results in distinct ecological and climatic zones across the country. The topography has historically played a significant role in shaping the political, economic, and cultural development of the region.
