The Ŋation of Hárǝsi /há.rǝ.si/, officially Míhóchihko Ngweskó Ikwonngóghoma /mí.hó.ɕih.ko ŋʷes.kó i.kʷoŋ.ŋó.ɣo.ma/ or "Independent Ngweská Territories" is a country on the continent of Archipelagia, located between the West Gweng and West Murbet seas and sharing only one land border, with Coldba (Cuba). It was founded by Omaatje on the 6th of January 2026. It is a founding member of the WOOFS alliance alongside Coldba (Cuba), Kaipa and Adnar.

Because it contains non-ASCII characters, when extended characters are not available the spelling Haresi is preferred.

History

Pre-Federation

The Ngweská, the primary ethnicity of Hárǝsi, were historically nomadic hunter-gatherers who roamed the tundra and taiga forests of Archipelagia. Due to expansion from other Ŋations, namely the former Murbetia and Coldba (Cuba), they were pushed back further and further over time, until eventually the Four Great Tribes (Ro imOzóihakézá) settled into the lands in the far West of Archipelagia. The lands settled by these four tribes, Ouzánngwech, Aikóiháw, Kwojongok and Arawǝhí, make up the vast majority of the land area of Hárǝsi today. There are also pockets of Ngweská settled across the remainder of the continent in small, fairly insular communities, the total extent of which are unknown. These "tribeless" Ngweská are known as Uyuchká by the population of contiguous Hárǝsi.

When the Ngweská migrated west, they came into close contact with another indigenous group of the region, the sedentary horticulturalists known as the Merrie, whom the Ngweská called Xézilóchká. It was Merrie farmers who taught the Ngweská how to cultivate crops and helped establish the town of Yorómenngwe (or Dhoaiguorinn in Eastern Merrie), the oldest still-inhabited Ngweská settlement and to this day the main agricultural area of Hárǝsi.

The Four Tribes remained separate political entities, largely unincorporated, for an unknown period of time. During this period, the former Ŋation of Kotland briefly controlled much of the northern part of the territory, but was later abandoned, and a group of Merrie migrated to the island of Kotland. This group came to speak the Kotland Merrie dialect, which is quite divergent from the Eastern Merrie that is still spoken in much of central Hárǝsi.
