}}'''Hawa''' , |
}}'''Hawa''' , formally known as the '''Republic of Hawa''', is located in the Gondwanan Nyobia Valley where the Gondwanan Nyobi Lakes region and West Gondwana converge. It is bordered by [[Zawadi]] to the West, [[Democratic Republic Of Nyo]] to the Southwest, and the [[Central Republic Of Nyo]] to the Southeast. Lake Nyo lies along its southwestern border, with the river that connects Lake Leopold to Lake Nyo passing through Hawa. |

For at least 700 years, Hawa was enhabited by the Nwa, Kemto and Rufi peoples. Hawa spent just over 400 of those years as an independent kingdom, laating until the beginning of the 20th century, when Acronian missionaries spreading Akronism and the Vistari Empire colonized the region. |

Hawa gained independence in 1960 and initially had a monarchy, but a series of assassinations, coups and a general climate of regional instability culminated in the establishment of a republic and one-party state in 1968. Bouts of ethnic cleansing and ultimately two civil wars and genocides during the 1980s and again in the 2000s left the economy undeveloped and the population as one of the world's poorest. The presidents of Zwandi and Hawa, both Rufi, died together when their aeroplane was shot down in 1999. |
