Subiku period (1941–1949)
The conservative, autocratic regime, led by Jiman Ri had reversed much of the country's social policies and he established himself as the nominal supreme power, centralising power and suppressing dissent, leading to numerous alleged human rights violations. Jiman Ri banned any form of Christianity, which was viewed as a threat to Han culture and as a tool to the European subjugation of Asian countries. He also banned Hinduism, Sikhism, Islam and other religions with the exception of Neo-Confuncianism, which was declared the State Religion. The printing industry was nationalised and controlled by the government, which spread pro-state propaganda. Any literature or works that were "insulting" or "countering" the state was burned in public and anyone caught reading such works were subject to torture or even death.

During this period, Hani had experienced a drastic fall in total economic output as industrial plants were dismantled and their parts shipped back to Japan, and as Japanese demand for agricultural products diminished. Jiman Ri began the nationalisation of formerly private corporations and began the forced collectivisation of agricultural goods such as grain, with peasant resistance resulting in thousands of deaths. Jiman Ri had also tried to spur economic growth by promoting domestic consumption, however this failed because of a low per capita income and low savings rates.

Poor working conditions in factories led to labour unrest and many workers came to embrace communist ideals. Communist insurgencies occurred frequently in its Southern provinces, leading to the harsh repression of political dissidents and the formation of a single-party system.

Post-coup growth and prosperity
The Han economy was heavily damaged by the military coup. Inflation was very high and prices of various goods fluctuated considerably. In 1952, the Gold Standard ended and an austerity program implemented in 1953 ended the high inflation. In 1954, the Han do became a convertible currency and its market value compared to the dollar was 1,000 do to 1 dollar. The landlord class was abolished and vast tracts of arable land was redistributed among farmers, which went from inefficient, large collective farms into smaller farming communities. Most corporations, with the notable exception of industrial ones, were privatised. Those corporations still state-owned became monopolised into business conglomerates.

In 1950, the reformed export-oriented economy started to grow exponentially, with "Development First, Democracy Later" became the slogan of the times. The industrial or secondary sector was the fastest growing sector, especially in the basic and heavy chemical industries. High foreign demand for cheap, abundant labour fueled industrialisation. While the exports grew, imports did not, as the economy was highly self sufficient in terms of raw materials and the economy was protectionist in order to prevent foreign products competing with those of domestic firms.

Geography, climate, and environment
Hani is composed of 7,109 islands with a total area of 416,805 sq. miles and is bordered by the Han (Philippine) Sea, South China Sea, and the Celebes Sea. Several Indonesian islands lie beyond, including Java, Sumatra, and Sulawesi as well as Palau and several Micronesian islands.

Most islands are volcanic in origin and virtually all flat, arable land (save for those in Senban) have been converted into pastures and cropland. The mountains and only terrain unsuitable for farming or human inhabitation still retain tropical rainforests. The highest mountain, Mt. Yabokdo, is 2,954 meters (9,692 ft) above sea level and located in. In contrast, the country's lowest point is the Galathea Depth in the Philippine trench, which is located in the Han (Philippine) Sea.

Demographics
In 2016, the population was estimated to be 286.18 million, with a steep decline in the working-age population since 2004.

The country has a high population density of 687 people per sq. mile, however, this figure is even higher in Han proper, with a population density of 1,727 people per sq. mile. 80~90% of people live in urban areas, which are mostly found near/beside bodies of water. The three largest urban areas are the Greater Sariwon Metropolitan Region (38 million people), Bagiyo–Chagong Area (19 million people), and the Subiku Area (17 million people), these urban areas alone contribute roughly a fourth of the total population and are the nation's industrial and trade epicentres.

Hani's birthrate was among the world's lowest, and its fertility rate of 1.45 births per woman was far below replacement levels (2.1 births per woman). It is projected that its population will peak at 2024 and by 2050, its total population will decline to 257 million from today's 286.18 million, representing a 10% net loss. The average life expectancy is estimated to be more than 84.6 years.

Economy
Hani is a developed, high-income, advanced economy with a total gross domestic product (adjusted for power purchasing parity) totalling $16.18 trillion and a per capita GDP of $56,538. The Han economy is often described as “state capitalist”, with state control over finance, and direct government support for state-owned industrial business conglomerates known as the "national champions”. The services sector is largely privatised and the agricultural sector is privatised as well, though collective farms where farmers voluntarily give their crop yields to the state still persist. The official currency is the Han do, which has a pegged exchange rate of 1,000 do to 1 dollar.

Hani has bilateral trade agreements with much of Asia and the West, however, the domestic market is highly protectionist and places heavy tariffs and regulations on imports to help domestically produced products remain competitive and to prevent a growing trade deficit. Hani is the largest exporter, exporting highly advanced, high-tech manufactured goods. It has stripped much of its original reserves of raw materials and has become a major net-importer of raw materials, leading to its place as the seventh largest importer.

Background
Prior to the, Hani was devastated by a devastating, three year long war known as the "North–South Han War", which was fought between the state-capitalist north and the communist, collectivised South. Despite capitalist victory, this war had caused a drastic 40% drop in economic output and reversion to levels 15 years ago. This devastation had shocked many and played a huge rule in the downfall of Han afterwards. Between 1937–43, Hani received over $6 billion worth of foreign aid; 70% in the form of food and water, 20% in the form of industrial material, 9% in the form of transportation equipment, and the lastly 1% in the form of clothing. Despite the government teetering on the edge of bankruptcy, much of the existing government budget was invested in education and human capital. The landlord class was abolished and formerly state-owned land was redistributed to numerous poor, low-class families. Meanwhile, a three-child policy was implemented and laid the foundation of the modern-day two-child policy, which controlled rampant population growth.

Foreign aid drastically fell to less than $500 million by 1944, and fell even lower afterwards as major restoration projects were completed. The fall of foreign aid resulted to economic collapse as production had still not rose to pre-war levels. Extreme poverty and unemployment surged as foreign industries fled Hani and the forceful consolidation of power had to be used to quell increasing civil unrest. Government attempts to spur economic growth through domestic consumption had failed due to a low savings rate, a low income at the time, and high taxes that left little money spared for the consumption of goods.

Secondary
Hani has the 2nd largest secondary sector in the world, contributing roughly 30% of the GDP or a total of $4 trillion. Hani leads the world in heavy and high-technology industries including the automotive, electronics, shipbuilding, petrochemical, fine machinery and steel industries.

Hani leads the shipbuilding industry in both in tonnage built and sales. The shipbuilding industry has become a flagship industry since the start of economic industrialisation and modernisation. The industry started a steep decrease as emphasis shifted to higher-technology/value exports and labour shifted to the services sector though a recent increase in foreign demand as old ships were removed from use caused the re-emergence of this sector. The growth of the automobile industry, another a flagship industry, accounted for much of economic growth during its economic miracle. In 3118, total production totalled 800,000 units–a figure that grew to 3,394,600 units after just a decade, representing more than a 4-fold increase and an average annual growth of 13%. Much of this rapid growth was driven by a surge in exports rather than domestic demand, and by the eighties Hani had come to dominate the international automobile market. By this time, total investment in related sectors increased to $12 billion.
