Hyaon, formally the Republic of Hyaon, is an island nation off the coast of West Uju and a member of the Sinju Union.

Tianqian period
X conquered the islands of Hyaon 547. The 8th and 9th centuries saw significant devastation wrought by fighting.

Blabla dynasty
X, an X warlord, invaded and wrested control of Hyaon from the declining Tianqian Empire.

Expansion
Hyaonese merchants played a significant role in trade in the East Sinju Sea. The wealth obtained from trade helped fund the kingdom's expansion into the mainland of West Uju.

Fusenese occupation
In X, Fusen annexed Hyaon and incorporated the royal family into its nobility.

Modern history
Hyaon obtained independence after the defeat of Fusen in the Eulhae War. After independence, the former royal family was widely seen as weak and having collaborated with the Fusenese occupation. A referendum in X established a republic. In 1948, tensions blew up into an ideological civil war between the Hyaonese Communist Party and government forces. Communist forces were defeated in 1951 but the government continued to remain weak, and fell to a military coup in 1952. Multiparty elections were set up after the May Revolution in 1968.
