One of the smallest countries in Gondwana, Hawa land is used mostly for subsistence agricultural and grazing, which has led to deforestation, soil erosion and habitat loss. As of 2020 the country was almost completely deforested, with less than 11% of its land covered by trees and over half of that being commercial plantations. In addition to poverty, Hawadians often have to deal with corruption, weak infrastructure, poor access to health and education services, and hunger.
== History ==
=== Colonization ===
From 1881, the Acronian Missionaries was active in the Gondwanan Nyobi Lakes region. As a result of heightened tensions and border disputes between the Acronian Missionaries, the Kalatianburg Empire and Norgsveldet, the Vistari Empire was called upon to put down the Kemto revolts and protect the empire's interests in the region. Vistariland stationed armed forces in Zawandi and Hawa during the late 1890s.
Hawa, as part of Vistari Central Gondwana continued its kingship dynasty despite the invasion of Vistari.
The Vistari however, preserved many of the kingdom's institutions, the Hawadian monarchy succeeded in surviving into the post-colonial period. During the late 1940s, a series of policies caused divisions throughout the country. Native authorities also had powers. In 1956, Vistariland allowed the region to form political parties. These factions contributed to Hawa gaining its independence from Vistariland, in 1960.
