Briefly describe your history.

The Union is governed under the Constitution of Union, which was established upon independence in 1882, though many international organizations have accused the union government of violating the constitution several times, especially under the government of current President Gurdeep Mulani, under whom the government has implemented numerous laws aimed at supressing the right to speech, expression, religion, and cultural expression, aimed at what international observers say is an attempt to eradicate any non-hygessivinians from the nation. The nation's elections, while initially free, have in recent months been compromised by numerous changes to the electoral code by the Mulani administration, and several opponents of the government were suspiciously jailed on charges of "corruption". The economy, however, is a developing one, and one that is seeing rapid growth. The nation is a manufacturing hub for cheap goods, and a popular harbor for ships travelling between the eastern nations and the western ones. Additionally, the nation is a hub for information technology, with a rapidly growing middle class. The country has grown out of the poverty of the 1880's and 1890's with literacy rates rising from 8% in 1882 to 64% in 1901. Still, the nation faces challenges: especially the repression of religious minorities in society, female and homosexual rights in the nation, extremely high infant and motherhood mortality rates, and low levels of hygiene due to the existence of mega cities. Still, Hygessivini is an emerging global power, and exerts its influence in organizations such as the Asanian Co-Prosperity Agreement and the Union of Nations.
