Hiinast is a fictional nation described for illustrative purposes. It is depicted as a temperate coastal country with a mainland region and a western archipelago that influences its trade networks. The capital is Liora, the political and economic center, with Navin and Kael as major urban hubs. The official language is Hiinast, with minority communities speaking Arani and Silen.

Hiinast was founded as a federation in 1842 after independence from a colonial power and adopted a liberal constitution in 1950 that established a parliamentary system. The government is headed by a prime minister and a ceremonial president, while legislative power rests in a bi-cameral parliament made up of the Senate and the Assembly. The constitution guarantees civil liberties and a multi-party system.

Key industries include shipbuilding, electronics, and agro-products, with transit and port facilities supporting regional trade. The population is approximately 9 million and urbanization concentrates in Liora and Navin, while rural areas maintain distinctive craft and agricultural traditions. The country is known for its educational institutions and research centers.

Hiinast has a culturally plural society, with festivals, culinary traditions, and a strong maritime heritage. The National Museum of Hiinast and the University of Liora are notable institutions. The country participates in regional organizations and maintains a policy of non-alignment in international affairs.
