You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Nippes''' ([[French language|French]]) or '''Nip''' ([[Haitian Creole]]) is one of the ten [[Departments of Haiti|departments]] (the highest-level political subdivisions) of [[Haiti]] located in southern Haiti. It is the most recently created department, having been split from [[Grand'Anse (department)|Grand'Anse]] in 2003.<ref>((cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=3RbzX4PjxtgC |title=Historical Dictionary of Haiti |editor=Hall, Michael R. |page=78 |year=2012 |isbn=9780810878105 |access-date=13 March 2016))</ref> The capital of the department is [[Miragoâne]], and it is the least populous department in Haiti.

==History==
===Haitian Period===
Being created from Grand'Anse most of Nippes' history is similar to Grand'Anse's.

Nippes during the Haitian Revolution played a big role with marron troops led by notably [https://ageofrevolutions.com/2020/05/18/the-first-ayitian-revolution/ Plymouth] a [[Jamaican Maroons|Jamaican]] later on was in Haiti.

===Independence===
Étienne Gérin from Miragwàn is a signatory of the [[Haitian Declaration of Independence]].
During the Haitian Civil war between [[Alexandre Pétion|Pétion]] and [[Henri Christophe|Henry 1st]], [[André Rigaud]] came back to Haiti from France and was disappointed by Pétion's laissez-faire politics and created a de facto republic, the Meridional Republic of Haiti and the Miragoanes bridge was the limit between those two republics.

==Geography==
The department is bordered to the north by the [[Gulf of Gonâve|Gulf of Gonave]], to the west the [[Grand'Anse (department)|Grand'Anse Department]] , south by the [[Sud (department)|South Department]] and to the east by the [[Ouest (department)|Ouest Department]].

The Nippes River is the most important of the department and one of the most important in the country.

Nippes has one of the biggest and most well-preserved bays in Haiti. The Baradères Bay is formed by the [[Baradères]] Peninsula and protects multiple minor islands and cays like Picoulet and Corny Island.

Part of the [[Lake Miragoâne|Miragoanes Lake]] is shared between Nippes and West Departement is the biggest natural freshwater lake in Haiti.

Nippes has many minor islands with one of the biggest cay being the [[Banc de Rochelois|Rochelois]] located 15 km offshore. The cay has a potential for land reclamation in Haiti.

==Economy==
Nippes has great mining potential in bauxite since the town of Miragoanes had a major [http://countrystudies.us/haiti/59.htm bauxite] plant operated by Reynold's company.

Nippes has an agriculture and fishing industry with the lake having a potential for pisciculture. 

Nippes is a commerce hub since the Miragoanes Port is one of the biggest ports in the South. 

==Transportation==
The [[Transport in Haiti|RN2]] (national road system) passes through Nippes going to [[Les Cayes]] and making it the bridge between 2 departments. Another one is proposed to connect it to [[Grand'Anse (department)|Grand'Anse]].

Miragoanes is the major port in the town and the department has no airport.

==Administrative divisions==
The department of Nippes is subdivided into three [[Arrondissements of Haiti|arrondissement]]s (districts), which are further subdivided into eleven [[Communes of Haiti|communes]] (the equivalent of a city or municipality).
