Haren, officially the Harenese Autonomous Republic and also known by its acronym HAR, is a small self-proclaimed autonomous area over the island of Haren. The H.A.R lies north of the Fennonscandian sectors in the Aland island chain. The nation has one village as its capital, Harerü.


The micronational history of Haren began when Haren declared independence as the Republic of Haren. The nation was an unrecognized by the Fennoscandian states due the fascist rule of the state. It was also a small state controlled by 2 people. The nation with was divided into zones controlled by Tim van Varrik and Wekno Alfrink; the state existed for only 2 months until the United Islands invaded Haren and made it as the 8th state. After the United Islands collapsed into 4 states, Haren reconstituted itself as the H.A.R and is recognized as the continuing legal personality and sole successor state of the United Islands. It is governed as a semi-presidential republic.

Most outsiders described the H.A.R as a rump state of the United Islands. United Islander culture is considered a branch of the Nordic cultures of Europe. As aforementioned, the culture is based on that of Northern Europe; however, it is mostly influenced from Finland. There are many different ethnic groups within the Republic, but the country is mostly influenced by the Finnish-Swedish traditions. With clothes, a Western-European style is mainly adopted due to the position of the Republic. However, many men and women wear casual and other such items too. The cuisine is mainly meat, such as cow, horse and pork; UI's national drink is Dazul, a mix of water and alcohol.
