Hasanistan, officially the State of Hasanistan, is a self-proclaimed state with territorial claims situated across the Greater Middle East region. Hasanistan has been described as a micronation or an alternative government by external observers due to its lack of international recognition and the minimal control over the regions it holds territorial claims upon.

Hasanistan unilaterally seceded from Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Bahrain on 7 September 2011. Following the secession, an autocratic government led by the country's founder, Hasan Çakar, ruled the country for three years. The authoritarian government collapsed on 9 June 2013, following a political crisis between the government and elements of the military, and democratic reforms were implemented transforming Hasanistan into a democratic republic. On 11 August 2016, Hasanistan became a territory of the Empire of Pavlov, where it remained until Pavlov dissolved in 2017.

Following the dissolution of Pavlov, Hasanistan experienced an unstable period of independence for two months until it joined the Expansive Realm of Khorașan. Hasanistan remained a territory of Khorașan for nearly a month until it unilaterally seceded due to instability and infighting within the Khorașani government. Hasanistan became a monarchy under former Pavlovian emperor Iskender IV in late 2019 and was incorporated among other realms he ruled over into the Tsardom of Montescano in early April 2020. Later in the same month, during a political dispute between the Monarchy and Prime Minister, Hasanistan seceded from Montescano, abolished the monarchy and re-established itself as an independent republic. In August 2021, following both sides expressing interest in rapprochement, Hasanistan became a socius state of Pavlov and Iskender IV was re-instated as Shahanshah. Hasanistan was later re-organised into the Sublime Gurkani State in March 2022, which itself later reformed into the Great Turan State. Hasanistan seceded from the Great Turan State in 2025, once again becoming an independent state.

Hasanistan is a culturally Turkic nation-state and regards itself as the successor state of the Seljuk Empire, an aspect of the state that is established within its Constitution. Islam is the predominant religion of its citizenry and the role of religion in the politics of the country has often varied, ranging from being officially secular to having a state religion.

Etymology

Hasanistan is literally translated to mean "Land of the Hasanis". The name of Hasanistan can be divided into two components: the ethnonym "Hasani" and the Persian "-stan" suffix.

The ethnonym Hasani is derived from the Arabic word "ḥasuna" (حَسُنَ) which means beautiful. The etymological origin of Hasani is disputed, although the most popular and likely view is that it derives from the name of the founder of Hasanistan Hasan Çakar. According to a revisionist narrative promoted during the Qaragüliyyâh period, Hasani derived from the name of the fifth Muslim caliph Hasan ibn Ali.

During a legislative session in 2014, a failed motion proposed to rename Hasanistan to Central Turkistan.

Geography

Hasanistan claims territories in Central Asia, the Middle East and North Africa. The total land area of Hasanistani territorial claims is approximately 230.49 km². When compared with countries internationally recognised by the United Nations, Hasanistan would be the eleventh-smallest country in the world.

The Central Asian territorial claim of Hasanistan, commonly referred to as mainland Hasanistan, is a continious, landlocked region located in the Tian Shan mountain range between the internationally-recognised border of Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. The territory is specifically located in the Trans-Ili Alatau range and stretches from Kaskelen gorge and the valleys of the Almaty region in the north to the northern bank of the Mambet-Bulak stream of the Chong-Kemin river in the south. The highest point in Hasanistan is a mountain peak located in northern Çobanistan with an elevation of . Aside from parts of the Chong-Kemin which fall within Hasanistani territory, there are smaller bodies of water such as streams and tarns.

Mainland Hasanistan shares micronational borders with small enclaves near the city of Batyr and the Kökqoyunlu Khanate to the west of Köktuğluk. The enclaves located within Hasanistan are Yezd (formerly known as Konraq), Starnia and Virgo, the latter two recognised by Hasanistan as being under the sovereingty of Mahuset. Mainland Hasanistan, Atabegate of Yezd and the enclaves are commonly referred to collectively as "Greater Hasanistan" in a geopolitical context.

The "overseas" territorial claims of Hasanistan are the islands of Körfeziye in the Persian Gulf and Sridjina in the Gulf of Skikda (Stora) off the coast of northeastern Algeria. Körfeziye refers to two small islands, known as Halat Noon and Qasar Noon by Bahrain and as Nun and Jeirt by Hasanistan, immediately southeast of the southern tip of Bahrain. Sridjina is a collection of three islands and hosts a lighthouse built in 1906. Unlike mainland Hasanistan, both these territories have sea access. Hasanistan does not have officially-defined territorial waters, although past constitutions of Hasanistan declare a claim over the seas surrounding Hasanitani territory and the water bodies within them.

Main article: Religion in Hasanistan

Islam is the predominant religion in Hasanistan, with the 2017 Census stating that the religion is practised by 75% of the registered population. The census did not collect data on sectarian differentiation and the vast majority of Hasanistani Muslims do not identify with a specific denomination, although it is estimated that the majority of Hasanistani Muslims follow the Hanafi school of Sunni Islam. Christianity is believed to be the second largest religion in Hasanistan after Islam.

Culture

The culture of Hasanistan is predominantly Turkic, derived from the claimed Seljuk heritage of the Hasani people and sharing close cultural affinity with the related Anatolian Turkish culture, with other influences from Arabic, British, Iranian, Russian and online cultures. The cultural development of the country largely began following its establishment as a self-declared independent state and has been heavily shaped by government policy and state-supported institutions to promote a greater sense of national consciousness. Pavlovian rule has also had a significant cultural impact in Hasanistan. Meanwhile, the ethnic minority Ardajanis have developed their own culture influenced by the Oegstgeestian micronational sphere (especially Viadalvia). Common social values in the Hasanistan derive from the traditionally dominant religion Islam.

Hasanistan has satirical elements influenced by online and popular culture, including the traditional national anthem "Hasanistan, greatest country" being based upon the fictious anthem of Kazakhstan from the 2006 comedy film Borat, a law prohibiting the insulting of anime with the punishment of death and the existence of a political party centred on the Bogdanoff brothers meme.

Hasanistan has occasionally been mentioned in international media and published books, including a brief section describing Hasanistani history in the book Does it Yurt? Travels in Central Asia Or How I Came to Love the Stans by the journalist Stephen Bland and a Twitter post referencing Hasanistan was reposted by American activist Vermin Supreme.

Online presence

The national website serves as the central hub for government news, statements and archiving, hosting the Batyr Times online news publication, the Hasani Archives and the HasanistanPedia wiki encyclopaedia. It operated as a free web site on Google's Blogger service until 2022, in which the private domain hasanistan.world was acquired. It has been planned to end the dependency of the national website on third-party services such as Blogger, the government has so far successfully migrated HasanistanPedia from the wiki farm Miraheze to a self-run MediaWiki site. The inclusion of other e-government services on the website have been proposed.

The government run social media accounts on Facebook, Twitter, Minds and Telegram. Hasanistan has previously maintained a presence in online micronational communities such as MicroWikia and MicroWiki.
