Arabia; lands held by uprisers in lightgreen

The Arabish Republic (Arabish: الجمهورية العربية; Al-Jumhuriya Al-Arabiya), also known as the Ieland of the Arabiers (Arabic: جزيرة العرب; Jazirat Al-Arab) or onefoldly Arabia, is a land in the Near East. Gesheedely, this lifeless wasteland was little more than the middle of nowhere, held up only by pilgrims headed for the two holiest temples in Mahometism that just so happened to be here. Nowadays, she is a hotspot for stride owing to some of the world's richest wells of earthoil just so happening to be here. She is split into 28 governorships (Arabish: ولاية; wilayah).

Regering

Arabia is, by her groundlaw, a federal presidential republic. However, owing to ongoing stride within her lands, the Arabish regering is more akin to a militarish oligarchy. Her stateshead and regeringshead is the President of the Arabish Republic (Arabish: رئيس الجمهورية العربية; Rayis Al-Jumhuriya Al-Arabiya), Saddam bin Nasser Al-Assad, formerly both the behalfspresident and innerminister, who has held this ambight since 2021 after the first President, Abdul Iskander, was murdered by Mahometistish uprisers.

The Landsforsamling (Arabish: مجلس الأمة; Majlis Al-Umma) is Arabia's lawmaking body. It is split into the Senate and the Fortreadershouse. While, by the Arabish groundlaw, the Landsforsamling holds gewealds such as making and taking away laws, setting the regeringsbudget, boding crig, making frith, and so on, the Landsforsamling's plights have been stopset since 2021, and the President has ruled by forordering ever since. The Landsforsamling is led by the Behalfspresident.

Arabish is the only ambsspeech in Arabia. The few lesserhoods that live in Arabia mostly speak it, but some also speak Persish, Somalish, Urduish, and other speeches from Mahometistish folk.

Gesheede

The Arabish Halfieland was one of the first ords settled by mankind outside of Africa, owing to it being linked by landbridges in what is today Suez and the Gate of Tears to Africa. Around the Persish Merebosom, the first settled cultures in Arabia took shape around 5,000 BC, as seen by the earthenware they left behind, though they were later driven out by the growing Arabish Wasteland. What few who stayed within Arabia's marks today were stemms living around the north and near the sea, such as the Midianites, who were written of in the Bible. In the 500s BC, northern Arabia fell under the lordship of the Persish casers Cyrus II and Cambyses II, which Persia lost after the aoverings of Alexander the Great. The Nabateanish Kingric bestood in northwestern Arabia until it was aovered by the Romish Riche in 106 YL.

Arabia's sandy wastes were a naturely "wall" between the Romish and Parthish—later Sassanish—Riches. The Ghassanids and the Lachmids were two Saracenish kingrics that were bufferstates between Rome and Persia, the former a Romish underlingstate and the latter a Persish one. The Eastern Romish Riche under Arcadius II aovered Persish Mesopotamia and sacked Ctesiphon in the Arcadish Crig between 493 and 510, which also led to the downfall of the Lachmids. In the 6th yearhundred, a madman called Mahomet, also known as Baphomet, was born in the little-known thorpe of Mecca. He grounded Mahometism, known to the Saracens and Moors as "Al-Islam", overset in English as "yielding", and foroned the Saracenish stemms before dying in 632. Four "Caliphs" or "nighfollowers"—Abubacer, Omar, Othman, and Ali—came after Mahomet and led the Mahometish swarm in a wave of gruesome slaughter against the Romish and Sassanish Riches, both of which were sorely weakened by near-endless crigfare against each other. After Ali's death, Mahometism was split. Many more would take the title of Caliph, but none acknown all across the Mahometistish world.

The heart of the Mahometistish world shifted from Mecca and Medina to Bagdat. Still, self-styled offspring of Mahomet would rule the Forstdom of Mecca, taking on the title of "Warden of the Two Holy Temples", in a near-unbroken line from 967 onward. The Forsts would sometimes swear true to a caliph or some other ruler, such as under the Abassidish Dynasty, but behooved a state of de facto unoffhanghood. The rest of the Arabish Halfieland was split amongst the manifold sundry stemms that wandered around the barren wasteland. Mahometistish pilgrims from Africa, the Near East, and Southasia came to Mecca and Medina, and some even stayed for good. Even so, most of the befolking lived in earmth. The heat and barren earth meant that little, if anything at all, could be grown here, and the two steads were also far from any tradeways. Owing to this, no great mighte had any orsake to aover Arabia for most of her gesheede.

In 1922, the Forstdom of Mecca was overfallen by the Forstdom of Riad. Riad lost, its forst was beheaded, and it was onslotted into the lands of Meccanish Forst Abdullah Al-Hashemi, who grounded the Kingric of Arabia in 1924. In 1930, oil was found in the lands of neighbouring Catara. Wanting to make geld quick, King Abdullah lathed the Americanish geselship Standard Oil East to look for oil in his land. The Americaners—and even Abdullah himself—were tweagful that there was oil to be found, and so Abdullah sold any and all rights to Arabia's earthoil and -gas forever for $5 million, or around $92 million in today's geld. At first, the seek was fruitless, and SOE sold around 70% of its shares to other geselships, but oil was later found in 1938. Following Arabish kings were bitter about not getting more geld from Arabia's oil, so they backed terrorgroups fighting the West such as the WBA. In 2018, King Ahmed, after fighting an erffollowscrig against his uncle, went for the oil straightforwardly and sought to nationalise it, leading to the Crig in Arabia. Arabia lost, her king was guillotined, and she was uploosened, becoming terra nullius until the Republic of Arabia was grounded in 2020.

Befolking

Arabia is the homeland of the Arabish-speaking folks, the Saracens and Moors. In the times of the orold Greeks and Romers, "Saracens" were a theudly stemm living around Arabia Petraea. In the Early Middle Elds, the word bewrote "Mahometists", heedless of speech or land. However, it grew to its owntidely meaning by the time of the Crosstyges, that being stemms of Arabish-speakers who live in the Near East. In Arabish, the Saracens call themselves "Mashriqiyun", or "Easterners". Even so, most Saracens betee themselves with the stemm of their birth rather than a speech, land, or any sort of national selfhood. Arabia is home to more or less 20 million folk, and most of them are known to the rest of the world as "Saracens".

It is hard to gather genauw knowledge on the befolking of Arabia, owing to it being in a tostand of ongoing burghercrig. Faucmen from the OFN guess that around 87.4% of the befolking are Saracens, while up to 11.4% are Black Saracens, also known as the "Zunuj"—Africaners who either inwandered or were brought here as thralls and then assimilated into Saracenish culture; note that the latter ontale also inholds mixlings with both Africanish and Saracenish backgrounds. The belaving 1.2% are Bactriers, Indiers, Kurds, Moors, Persers, as well as other Africaners. As for belief, the land is overwhelmingly Mahometistish, as not only was Arabia the birthord of Mahometism, but she had it as her statesbelief until 2019, with the strafe for unbelief being death by stoning. Around 79.1% are Mahometists of the Traditionalistish sect, 14.6% are of the Alistish—named after Caliph Ali—sect, and 0.8% are of other sects, mainly Ibadism. 5.2% of the befolking are Godless, and 0.3% hold "other" beliefs.

Owing to the near-endless gewald that has gripped the land since the turn of the 21st yearhundred, its befolking has seen years of waning, as many who are not yet dead flee their homes. Faucmen from the OFN put this rate at -0.42% last year, and foresee it to fall even lower. This is through no shortcoming of Arabia's women, who have a fruitfulhoodrate of 3.16 babies each. However, there are far more men than women in Arabia, having a gekindforhalfness of 0.67 women for every man—1.49 men for every woman the other way around—as, in Mahometism, women are seen as undermennish. The middler eld is around 20.1 years, and the mean lifespan is 39.2 years. Only around 54% of the befolking can read and write.

Werthship

Arabia is one of the earmest lands worldwide. She is, by most metings, a mislucked state. The Arabish Real is overswollen and nearly worthless, with many inside either swaptrading one good for another or brooking outlandish gelds such as Americanish Dollars, English Pounds, Persish Reals, and Russish Roubles, among others, to buy anything. Only a dealth of Arabia's land and befolking is under the regering's geweald, the rest held by criglords and uprisers. The Arabish werthship is driven mainly by farming, berghwork, and the herestelling of dungsel, cement, and metals. Eastern Arabia is rich in oil, but outlandish geselships own all of it—the regering does earn some geld from oil by having these geselships yield landgavel, tolls, and havenfees. There are no geselships of note inhomish to Arabia.

Her GIP by head gesheedely was not high but, owing to the stride in Arabia, now stands among the world's lowest. Quality of life is, to put it onefoldly, grim. Arabia's MOI is below 0.4, along the likes of her fellow mislucked states like China, Congo-Leopoldstad, Mosambic, Somaliland, and others. Most of her befolking lives under the threshold of earmth. Food, drinking water, and electricity are scant. Her rate of forbreaking is the highest in the Near East. Thralldom was outlawed in 2020, but is still widespread. Needless to say, living here is hard at best.

Military

The Arabish Stridecrafts (Arabish: القوات المسلحة العربية; Al-Quwwat Al-Musalahat Al-Arabiya) are the military of Arabia. They are split into the Heere, Marine, and Loftmight, and are overseen by the Fordeithingsministry. The Arabish regering spent $4.07 milliard on the military, 22% of her GIP, which is among the highest in the world by mete of byhundred of GIP. Arabia has forplightly militarish thenst for all men 15 years and above, though most men dodge the draft as the regering could do little about that. There are 141,000 soldiers under thenst and no reservists as all of them have been called up.
