Iraq War did, Gulf War didn’t. The counterpart in this timeline was a war in Egypt in 1995.

Generally, you start with one nation and then you can apply for a second account a little later on. The rule is that accounts aren't supposed to interact/be used to benefit each other.

I’m the Arab Federal States, so if you have Middle East questions i can help.

You can interact with the two accounts yes, as long as it does not involve corruption.

You have Iraq, Kuwait, and Jordan - I don't see how having Egypt and Libya would be impossible for me especially considering that Libya has a population of six million, total, compared to Egypt's 100+ million people.

What was the 1995 Egypt war about? If the Iraq war happened and Gulf War did not how are you still prosperous considering what America did to Iraq in real life?

Arab Federal States

Removing the gulf war also affects how the Iraq war would have gone down - did the same sanctions exist against Iraq? Was the gulf war simply avoided by the US not convincing Saddam that they would not intervene in an invasion of Kuwait?

The problem is that you're new. You'd need to prove that you can RP so that you are given additional land. You need to do it for a while. Plus I think Libya is claimed.

Hi I'm Sudan °v° both Sudan's I am big boi

Federation of Syria, Iraq, Kuwait, and Jordan. I got the way I am through roleplay and expansion requests. You start with a single nation, and can grow from there if that’s the path you take.

Ironically the 1995 War was with the Arab Socialist Republic, a union of Egypt and Libya. While I wasn’t in the region for it, it’s my understanding the general Iraq War played out quite differently here. Islamic Extremism is much less relevant in this timeline due to the changes.

Timeline started in 1932, and the Middle East in particular has been very divergent. Always good to ask the seasoned players, but you can assume things didn’t happen under the same circumstances.

I would ask Paramountica about the whole war. I'm sure he'll explain everything to you. I'm Brazil btw, nice to meet you, dear

I sent the American player who I assume runs the region information on why I want both Egypt and Libya. I have alternate accounts and can prove that I can RP from those accounts if necessary.

What started the 1995 war and what were the results of it? Also, what is Israel doing?

Yeah, but removing the gulf war has massive impact on the history of Iraq. What about the Iran-Iraq war, too?

there was no Iran-Iraq war. Iran is a liberal feminist monarchy, or was one. Our former Iran just left the region. The predominant religion is Zoroastrianism

Israel ate up Palestine. Anyways I needed to tell you that the disputed region of Hala'ib, or Halyeb in this Timeline, belongs to the administration of Sudan v_v

I do this so that the new Egyptian players don't go and do shi

So there was no islamic conquest of Iran, at least permanently? Does Islam exist in central asia past Iran as normal then?

Central Asia is Muslim, Pakistan is Muslim etc. Everything else is pretty much the same minus Iran

;-; okay

My government is currently a Democratic Republic. An actual democracy with elections every 3 years. There are 3 large parties and 2 minor parties that hold seats in the parliament. The head of state is Prime Minister Salva Kiir.

Soon Sudan will annex Uganda and become known as the United Federal Republic of Sudan.

Alright, I want to play as a socialist state based off a proposed union between Nasser's Egypt and Gadaffi's Libya. It would probably be a great deal more developed than the real Egypt and Libya and have a fairly high HDI. How much democracy exists is going to be largely dependent on what Israel, Europe, and the USA are doing.

Izanostan wrote:Yeah, but removing the gulf war has massive impact on the history of Iraq. What about the Iran-Iraq war, too?

Iraq’s history was very different long before the Gulf war. A series of Arab union states dominated a lot of middle eastern politics during the cold war, and fought several wars with Iran.

Izanostan wrote:Alright, that's not too impossible I guess. Does the petrodollar exist?

most likely. The trick is to assume irl events occurred unless stated otherwise. If you have questions, simply ask or people will point things out to you as you go along. You'll get used to it

Arab Nationalism is much more mainstream this timeline. Libya is still already under Gaddafi.

So an Iran-Iraq war did happen even if it wasn't the one we know? Was Iran backed by the uSA?

Not just Iraq. The UAR was a far more successful concept this timeline. And yes, Iran was US-backed. The timeline has been running for several IRL years and 90-ish IC years.

If that is the case, the Federation of Arab Republics would probably have been part of it and the UAR would stretch from Libya or Tunisia to Syria, Iraq too if that was part of it.

Who won the Arab-Iran war and why did it start?

Correct. IC, Libya is still under Gaddafi and Egypt has its current irl government.

Don’t know cuz I wasn’t there, but the Arabs lost because India backed Iran. I’d join the regional discord, it’s where most discussion happens and the players who’ve been here longer can fill you in.

SEPTEMBER 6TH

COUP IN EGYPT THROWS OUT SISI, SOCIALIST REPUBLIC DECLARED

On the early morning of the 6th of September Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi was put under arrest by a group of officers from the Central Military Region command of Egypt. At the same time, elements of the third and fourth divisions were entering Cairo by truck. Only minutes after the arrest was made generals of the southern, western, and northern military regions declared for the leader of the coup, a general of the central military district named Saamir el-Azad. Soon after that coup forces seized television and radio stations in Cairo and declared that Egpytian President Sisi was being removed for betraying the Egpytian people to "American imperialists, foreign banks, and corrupt tyrants."

El-Azad came on the air on the satellite "Capital Broadcasting Center" network to declare himself as the new president of Egypt. Included is an excerpt of his speech translated to english.

"My friends and countrymen, it is well known that for the past thirty years or so there has been economic chaos, a constant reduction in the standard of living, and a constant increase in the wealth of Sisi and his men. The American puppet government has driven our country into the deepest poverty and has grown fat on the blood of the people. The Egyptian army, which has always been close to the people, has taken matters into its own hand to reassert our sovereignty. As we speak our soldiers are hunting the bastard Sisi's friends in the streets of Cairo, and defeating the segments of the army that would rather Egypt be under foreign money's domination forever.

The new Egypt will be a government of all the people, and its first act shall be to declare the illegitimacy of privatizations and international loans taken by the former American puppet government."

As el-Azad continued his speech gunfire was reported in the cities of Luxor and Aswan. So far according to the CBC the forces of the new "Socialist Republic of Egypt" seem to be winning. General el-Azad was a soldier during the 1995 war with America which resulted in the establishment of the now former Egyptian government, and the memory of that war no doubt filled the 55 year old general's mind as he made his speech to Egypt. Neither El-Azad or representatives of his government have said anything relating specifically to the canal that caused that war however. There has been little organized opposition to el-Azad in Egypt so far and some of his first orders to begin instituting price controls for food, housing rent, and fuel have bought him some popularity among the Egyptian people. Many government officials of Sisi's government have gone missing and Sisi's condition is unknown. Egyptian sources connected to the southern military district where Sisi's the coup is weakest have reportedly said that Sisi's remaining men consider Egypt lost and many are making for the Sudanese border. Airstrikes by coup government forces were reported in the south of egypt near the town of Edfu just after users on social media claimed a military force loyal to Sisi was routed near the town. It will take some time for el-Azad to secure complete control over Egypt, but so far it looks as if his coup is likely to succeed.

[list][list][list][list]| President Jair Messias Bolsonaro vehemently CONDEMNED the overthrow of the El Sisi Government and the formation of a "Socialist Republic" of Egypt late last night. At the same time, the Egyptian embassy in Brasília and the Egyptian consulate-general in Rio de Janeiro were SEIZED by Brazilian authorities and the ambassador to Brazil, along with the Egyptian staff in both the embassy and the consulate-general, have been given asylum amidst the turmoil in their homeland. The Federative Republic of Brazil also FROZE Egyptian assets in the South American country. A warning has also been issued to El-Azad. Bolsonaro has warned of grave consequences if Brazilian diplomats and civilians residing in Egypt are harmed in any way and orders the immediate evacuation of its citizens from Egypt. Failure for Egypt to comply will result in dire ramifications. |

Hala'ib, Red Sea State, The Republic of Sudan

July, 2024 - Just Another Coup

A several hundread migrants would show up at the Sudanese-Egyptian border at Hala'ib, however they would begsin crossing into Sudan through the desert and not through the main border checkpoint by the sea near Shalateen. They crossed the open empty desert entering into Sudan visually undetected. After walking a few miles south they head east towards the coast. By next day the several hundred find themselves at the roads of a little sized fishing city by the coast named Abdo. There the political migrants were then arrested by the Red Sea Highway Patrol (RSHP) on the charges of illegal entry into Sudan. The migrants now concluded to be about 114 in total were determined to be Sisi supporters fleeing Egypt following the coup. There in Abdo the migrants would request political assaylum from the Sudanese Government.

As Khartoum provided no official response to the actions in Egypt, Sudan has treated it at as just another coup in Egypt which would most deffenitly not affect Sudan in any way however this might be different. The migrants were transported to Port Sudan, the state capital of the Red Sea State which an immigration court would then decide wether their claims of fear over their own lives is valid enough to be granted their assaylum in Sudan.

Given the stance of the Sudanese government it seems that the migrants have been put at the mercy of the State court and not the National Government meaning that Khartoum really has no influence on the case of the migrants unless the central Government take their case up directly.

KINGDOM OF KOREA[list]

[sub]Government turns to Saudi and Europe for investment, as well as borrowing at home[/sub][/list]

| [sub]As Yi Jung-hee's party swept into government a new economic belief also swept into power. As Korea's economy stabalised somewhat following massive trade and business disruption due to the destructive conflict in Iran, the new government has decided to run a budget deficit for two years to help reinvest in infrastructure like schools, hospitals, transport, etc. as well as small-scale job creation schemes. Korea has also continued to pump money into its aviation industry with the launch of the KF-21 prototype, a multirole stealth fighter, which is to be the forerunner to the in development KF-X.[/sub] |

| [sub]While homegrown investment is on the up, Korea hasn't just been looking inwards. The King spent a number of days in Saudi Arabia meeting with Saudi King, Alwaleed bin Talal Al Saud, it is thought Korea has been seeking access to help build up Saudi's infrastructure in areas that aren't particularly urban as well as newly aquired lands that require extensive reconstruction. An agreement between SM Line, HMM, Sinokor Merchant Marine (known as Janggeum Merchant Marine), Pan Ocean and Heung-A Shipping in partnership with the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries has been formed to create the first national shipping alliance known as the K-Alliance announced it would headquater in either Port Khalifa or Port Jebel Ali while retaining their induvidual headquaters in various ports.[/sub] |

| [sub]The Government has also been cosying up to Europe in the hopes of being able to open up more markets to the Europeans, with heavy industry in northern Korea hoping to find more markets to sell to, it's hoped as Europe turns green on the surface Korea could supply the needed materials Europeans are too reluctant to mine themselves. Korea has attempted to stave off issues in the north by setting housebuilding targets for the regional assemblies which should give the lumber and brick industry enough custom to keep going while Korea looks for more partners.[/sub] |

| [sub]Prime Minister Yi had promised his government would heal the cracks in the Korean government and society as a whole, but warned it would be a long process, but so far the process seems to have been a rather quick one. The fixes and planned fixes would set Korea on the right track to return to the top, even before that Prime Minister Yi is determined to fix Korea's poor relations with Japan despite a somewhat cold pushback from Tokyo, which would certainly help Korea's position in Asia.[/sub] |

______________

Kingdom of Spain signs $3.2 billion USD acquisition deal for fifty KF-21 Boramae (Hawk) 4.5-gen multirole stealth fighters from Korea

| In a surprising move, the Ministry of Defense announced earlier today the signing of a $3.2 billion USD acquisition deal with the Kingdom of Korea for 50 KF-21 Boramae, or Hawk, 4.5-gen multirole stealth fighters. Reporters and Spaniards alike were surprised, mostly pleasantly surprised, by the announcement since the final contenders of the Spanish next-gen fighter competition were the Paramerican F-35A and the Russian Sukhoi Su-57. The Spanish military and in particular the Air Force and Navy have been searching for Spain's next-gen fighter and Harrier II V/STOL capable replacement for the past months, and the final competitors were narrowed down to the F-35, the Su-57, and the Eurofighter II. While the Spanish military command never officially removed the Eurofighter II from the list of choices, the modern European air superiority successor to the powerful Typhoon was deemed by many to be 'not in consideration' by the military. In the end, it was announced that Spain secured a procurement deal for KF-21 multirole stealth fighters from the Kingdom of Korea. |

| The KAI KF-21 Boramae is a Korean 4.5 generation multirole stealth fighter aircraft development program with the goal of producing an advanced multirole stealth fighter for the Korean air force. The airframe is stealthier than other 4th generation fighters, but does not carry weapons in one or more internal bays like 5th generation fighters, though internal bays may be introduced later in development. The KAI KF-X is South Korea's second domestic fighter jet development program, following the FA-50. The KAI KF-21 Boramae, or as it is now known in Spain as the KF-21 Hawk, is regarded as a 'baby F-22' due to its striking resemblance to the Paramerican F-22 Raptor, which can be attributed to Lockheed Martin being involved in the KF-21 project. Due to the KF-21's balance of stealth, multirole tactical effectiveness, maneuverability, and price, the Spanish government ended up purchasing 50 of these state-of-the-art Korean multirole stealth fighters for $3.2 billion USD. While seemingly costly to some outsiders, the military has stated that an F-35 procurement deal for the same amount of jets would be nearly double the price. |

| Following recommendations from the Spanish Foreign Ministry, the Ministry of Trade, and the Cortes Generales of Spain, the Kingdom is also now a minor partner in the KF-21 and the upcoming KF-X fifth generation tactical stealth fighter in development by Seoul. The Spanish government will assist in the continuation of development on the KF-21 and KF-X programmes, and could end up purchasing additional fighters from the Korean government to continue its military modernization efforts and to bolster Spanish air power over her skies. According to Arancha González Laya, the Spanish Foreign Minister, 'this new procurement is not just an agreement to bolster our national defense, but it is also a symbol of Spain-Korea relations that our government hopes to expand in the future'. The Spanish government has stated its intentions to further get involved with the program that, according to one Air Force official, 'could promise nations a cheap, effective, and lethal 4.5-gen multirole stealth fighter in the future'. An estimated $450 million USD will be invested into the KF-21 and KF-X programmes over the next year, with more funding to come as Spain considers becoming a primary partner in the two programmes. The first batch of KF-21 aircraft is expected to arrive in April 2025, with full delivery expected by November 2025. |

| Days after the announcement of the procurement by the Air Force, however, a leaked inside memorandum was revealed to the public, apparently dispatched to top members of the Spanish military establishment and the national government. The memorandum, which has been dubbed 'Memorando X' (Memorandum X) by the wider public, clearly stated that the Spanish military establishment is still heavily interested in purchasing F-35s as a next-gen fighter and Harrier II replacement, stating that 'the KF-21 procurement deal supplements Spain's national defense goals and aspirations, but the F-35 is, at least we hope, going to be the face of the Spanish air force and navy for the foreseeable future'. While the military command has denied such a memorandum was legitimate, rumors are circulating that Armed Forces commanding general Miguel Villarroya is behind the memorandum, since he has not commented on it or its recent leak yet. While Foreign Ministry officials are worried that the leak could compromise relations between Madrid and Seoul, the Defense Ministry has reasserted their position that the KF-21 'is an extremely capable fighter, and will most certainly be effective against any possible threats to Spanish national security'. Another part of the memorandum heavily hinted at the possibility of a large, 45+ jet procurement deal for the Eurofighter II or Future Air Combat System (FCAS) fighter, jointly being developed by a consortium of European nations of which Spain is a part of. |

[sub]| HELM OF MOBILITY, MINISTÈRE DES TRANSPORTS - | The Ministry of Transportation is very pleased to announce after several testings, that an Air France-KLM Airbus A350 cargo plane successfully flew from Paris to Montreal on Tuesday, powered by a newly formulated biofuel. Air France flight 342 took off from Charles de Gaulle airport with a 16% mix of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) in its fuel tanks, produced in France by Total from used cooking oil. This comes just one week after France's leading petroleum company Total SE re-branded itself to TotalEnergies as the company continues making pushes towards biofuels and cleaner energy sources. Starting next year, flights departing from France will be required to use at least 12% SAF, ahead of European Union goals to reach 8% by 2025 and 18% by 2030 under the bloc's Green Deal policy. While France continues to push away from internal uses of fossil fuels it remains a heavy producer and exporter of oil and gas from overseas territories. | [/sub]

The September Purges

_____________

Damascus, Headquarters of the Syrian Regional Command of the Arab National Army

General Ali Abdullah Ayyoub sat in his office on the top floor of a 20-story structure, formerly a Ba’ath party administrative building, now the headquarters of the ANA’s Syria command. The room was truly lavish. He’d paid half of his official salary at auction for a painting that sat on one wall, though he had no clue who’d painted it. The satin couch on the other wall was frequented by an escort he liked. His desk was imported from Italy and had expensive bottles of alcohol hidden in its cabinets. And even he was a decoration, his olive-green uniform accented with the gold of medals earned in a dozen battles- mostly against his fellow countrymen. Everything about the room told a story, a tale of power and control. In truth, it was all a lie, a thin veneer hiding the failed ambitions that had brought him here.

When Ayyoub had enacted the coup that deposed Queen Nasri and brought Syria into the Arab Federal States it had been with a promise of power and status. That Syrian officers would find high ranks in the new Arab National Armed Forces. That the government would back a Syrian provincial government dominated by the military and security forces. That corruption would be ignored, so long as fealty was pledged to Baghdad. Ayyoub envisioned his own Syrian fiefdom, complete with total power and protection from foreign powers.

Instead, President Khalil had reneged. Foreign officers were phased in and Syrian officers were phased out. The Ba’ath party was forced to compete in open and free elections, which they of course lost. Ayyoub had been given a deputy command and was playing second fiddle to some Kuwaiti bastard who he was sure had never fired a shot in anger in his life. Now the scorned general couldn’t even reach Khalil on the phone- the same phone that held the numbers of warlords, diplomats, presidents, terrorists, arms dealers, and Imams. Simply put: he’d been cheated. But Ayyoub wasn't the only one.

Zahir Khalil was President of the third-largest economy in the middle east, with a massive army and incredible resources. And he’d screwed a lot of people to get there. Indeed almost all of the people who had carried him to his station of power now had some kind of gripe with him. He’d been on bad terms with King Abdullah ever since the Iran Crisis. He’d ruined his relationship with the Barzani Family by supporting the Syrian Kurdish Committee. He’d irritated both his political allies on the left and his opposition on the right by proving un-amenable on legislative compromise. He’d damaged his popularity with the failure of MESA and over-involvement in foreign affairs. He’d alienated the public by spending too much on the military and alienated the military by not spending enough. The Hijri Rebellion had put the tribes on edge, and Khalil has since had an uncompromising attitude toward their power. Only a year into his Presidency and the personal charisma of Khalil had long since worn off. The abstract observer could probably see it clearly: in a regional tapestry of competing identity and interest, Khalil has pressed too hard and used too much unilateral authority. He was overconfident in his office and didn’t pay close enough attention to machinations outside of the Green Zone. He was Don Quixote, a noble fool on a mission to bring democracy and freedom to the deserts of the Middle East.

Ayyoub sighed, sinking into his chair. He opened a drawer and reached for the bottle of vodka in his desk’s drawer. Before he could pop the cork, the door to his office burst open; swinging off its hinges and crashing into the couch. Two black-clad men fanned into the room, aiming AK-103 rifles at Ayyoub. Their patches identified them as Military Police. A younger man in the blue camouflage of ANP walked in behind them, a pistol held in one hand with the loose confidence of power. He was clearly the officer.

“Up, now!’, the officer barked.

Ayyoub scoffed and smiled, popping the cork on the bottle and reaching for the glass on his desk.

“Listen boy,” Ayyoub said, “you clearly don’t kn-”

One of the Policemen walked over to his desk, grabbing him by the arm and pulling him up from the chair. Ayyoub jerked, pulling his arm back and swinging the bottle in his other hand, shattering it across the man’s head. He cried out, stepping back. Before Ayyoub could get his bearings, the second Policeman sent the butt of his rifle sailing into the general’s stomach. He crumpled against the desk, gasping before the officer delivered another blow to the side of his head and knocked him out cold.

BREAKING NEWS- Military Arrests Hundreds Of Its Own, Syrian Baathists Targeted

DAMASCUS- The Military Police have announced the arrest of hundreds of soldiers in the Arab National Armed Forces, all members of the former Syrian Arab Armed Forces. According to sources, the purge has targeted Ba’athist sympathizers, suspected war criminals, and a myriad of corruption charges. The most high profile of these arrests is General Ali Abdullah Ayyoub, former Chief of Staff of the Syrian Army and backer of the coup that resulted in Syria joining the AFS. A spokesman for the MPs confirmed that Ayyoub had been taken on charges of abuse of power, monetary impropriety, and treason.

Altogether, 177 officers and NCOs were arrested on dozens of charges. President Khalil spoke on the matter in a press conference, saying “A disciplined and law-abiding military is the hallmark of a successful state. With the incorporation of Syria State, it is crucial we maintain this. These soldiers are the worst of the worst, and scum of the military. They needed to go, and we sent them out.”

Speaking on the condition of anonymity, however, two military officials told KG reporters that this is a much more complicated matter. One reported that far more than 177 were arrested, placing the number more likely in the thousands. They also told us that the arrests had nothing to do with corruption, instead motivated by loyalty and sectarian lines, targeting Alawites and those deemed unloyal to the government. The second reported that the matter happened almost entirely out of the loop with other branches of the military. Reportedly, President Khalil went straight to the chief of Military Police to order the arrests, cutting out other officials and the rest of the National Defense Council. Interior Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi confirmed that the Arab National Police were not aware of the arrests prior and had not participated in them.

We will continue reporting on the matter as new information emerges.

______________

Military Police Prison, Unconfirmed Location

Ayyoub woke up on the cold floor of his cell. All he knew now was that his head hurt. He sat up, mind racing as he recounted the final moments when the soldiers arrested them. His hand went to his head and he felt the welt on his temple where the rifle had struck him. It was about then Ayyoub realized he was cold, freezing in fact. He looked down at his clothes, the crisp green uniform replaced with a thin grey shirt and pants. His cell had no bed, and bricks of the floor and walls were sapping his warmth. The cell itself was small, not wide enough for him to extend both of his arms. Its only feature was a steel door with a window and a small hatch for food to be inserted. Ayyoub huddled himself into a corner, warming himself with the anger rising in his chest as he contemplated what brought him here.

Hours later, the let hatch on the door slid open, and hand shoved a small loaf of bread into the opening. The bread fell to the ground and a small white piece of paper fluttered down with it. As Ayyoub leaned over to grab the bread and note, a small voice spoke from behind the door.

”Minister al-Kadhimi sends his regards.”

Ayyoub stopped for a moment, mulling over the message. He sat back, biting into the bread and opening the note. As he read, his body was warmed not by anger, but by a sense of relieved vengeance.

[sub]September 3, 2024

Palace of the Nation

Abu Dhabi, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

IGNITING THE FLAME OF SAUDI: CONTEMPLATION ON THE REGIONAL SHIFTS AMID DESTRUCTION OF IRAN & EGYPTIAN COUP[/sub]

Calmness and silence. Since the implementation of the Arabian Gulf A2/AD Framework, the Arabian Gulf has entered into the preliminary stages of its most peaceful time period. With granted security assurances to shipping lanes and recent expansions of transported tonnage through the Strait of Hormuz, the Saudi Kingdom has shifted itself heavily to becoming the source of regional power and leadership. At the Palace of the Nation, located on the coastline of Abu Dhabi directly overlooking the Arabian Gulf, the massive gold and marble complex glistened in the Sun as the new seat of power for the Kingdom while Riyadh has been transformed into the full administrative city for the Saudi Kingdom.

The sweet breeze from the waters crept up along the coast and blessed the marble pavilion embroidered with gold, where King Al-Waleed Talal bin al-Saud and prominent members of the Saudi State and Family conducted their prayer facing Mecca as the Socotra Cormorant birds flew above with their wings straight out, gliding through the air off the power of the wind. As the Qur'an would be read and the prayer concluded, King Al-Waleed's company would place their shoes back on and depart back to Riyadh, except for Prince Abdullah II, formally the King of Jordan but has been brought into the Saudi Family, Prince Nasser bin Hamad Al-Khalifa Al-Saud, formerly part of the Al-Khalifa Family of Bahrain; however, married into the Al-Saud Family upon unification of the Gulf States into Saudi Arabia, and Sultan Qaboos bin Said al-Said, the implemented Sultan of the Omani provinces.

Walking into one of the gardens in the complex, the four men would walk slowly with their hands behind their back as they shared laughs and spoke of new developments and regional changes. With the triumph of Saudi Arabia seizing the Arab Gulf States from Iran, annexing Oman, and ongoing interventions in Yemen, the four prominent leaders of the new enlarged Saudi Kingdom came together in a more smaller pavilion in the middle of the garden surrounded by Date Palms, Bougainvillea, and Frangipani plants along with the smells of fragrance from burning nearby incense. Sitting in a throne chair while the other individuals sat in throne-like armchairs, King Al-Waleed would take a deep breath and long sigh as he sat facing the Arabian Gulf.

King Al-Waleed bin Talal al-Saud:

[list][sub]"It is interesting that we have found ourselves in this position."[/sub][/list]

As King Al-Waleed scratched his head, his gold rolex would shine briefly along with his amethyst and ruby rings on his fingers.

Sultan Qaboos bin Said al-Said:

[list][sub]"What do you mean this predicament? I think Saudi Arabia is now the de facto Arab power. It is undeniable what we have been able to achieve in a little less than a year. The Kingdom has the second largest economy of the region....which could overtake Iran if their economy continues to fall, inflation increase, and their instability expand. We are in a good position Your Excellency. We have the largest oil and natural gas deposits and have a Public Investment Fund with over $2 trillion to be used at your expense in addition to what the Royal conglomerate is worth ($1.75 trillion)."[/sub][/list]

King Al-Waleed bin Talal al-Saud:

[list][sub]"Yes Sultan Qaboos. That is very much true. We are in a very good position and we are on our way back to leading the entirety of the region. This is not what I am referring to. What I am referring to is on every border front that we have, there is some sort of instability that surrounds this Peninsula. Granted, we have one of the most modernized, advanced military forces in the world but Egypt is undergoing their regime change by a socialistic military coup, President Khalil in the AFS is purging his military, the Galla continues their Astroculture crusade against Muslims and Arabs, and Iran is collapsing on every front. This is a huge predicament."[/sub][/list]

Prince Nasser bin Hamad Al-Khalifa Al-Saud:

[list][sub]"Yes this is true Your Excellency but also think of it this way: it is a validation that your governance and the institutions of Saudi Arabia are prevailing and is a model government system for the Middle East to respect, observe, and embrace. It is without question that you will be in charge of the entirety of the Peninsula and with extended domination in the Arabian Gulf, Arabian Sea, and the Red Sea, it is undeniable that you would replace the Diba Dynasty in Iran as the most powerful figure in the Middle East. The Arab Arms Race between Riyadh and Memphis brought Saudi to the forefront through massive military procurement agreements, which we needed to then leverage ourselves into Oman, the Gulf States, and now Yemen. The situation currently is not ideal but by no means are we vulnerable."[/sub][/list]

Prince Abdullah II bin Al-Hussein Al-Saud:

[list][sub]"I would need to agree with Prince Nasser and the Sultan on this. Saudi Arabia has an opportunity right now to flex its resources, geographic position, and massive cash reserves to ensure that its interests are respected around the world and Riyadh is a MENA regional power. There is no reason why we should not seek to really push our boundaries rather than remaining here in the Peninsula. Whether it is through the OIC or not, Riyadh must ignite a flame within itself if it is to be taken seriously anytime soon by the international community. We already have a diversifying economy since 2014 and we have managed to undermine the Iranian hegemonic apparatus that suffocated this region for over 70 years."[/sub][/list]

Prince Nasser bin Hamad Al-Khalifa Al-Saud:

[list][sub]"Exactly. We are achieving something here that Arabs have sought but failed to achieve for decades Your Excellency. I think that if you continue to push our leverage and our strategic advantages, we will lead both the Arab and Muslim Worlds unquestionably. That should be the objective of your reign....you know that you have support from not just the Saud Family but the 11 Royal Arab Families that comprise the Kingdom. We just have to become more...rather ambitious in scope, innovative in implementation, and effective in execution. That is all."[/sub][/list]

The King would sit back in his throne as he would play his aviator glasses on to block the rays of the sun from his eyes.

King Al-Waleed bin Talal al-Saud:

[list][sub]"I am always thankful to hear your opinions and viewpoints. Your consultations are held very dear to my heart. I think the time then has come that we warp the Middle Eastern environment to our best advantage to ensure a growth of our influence and prestige, both covert and overt....Yemen will be the beginning of this realization. The coup in Egypt will most likely weaken Cairo's legitimacy not only in the region but the world in relation to the West; however, will open doors of opportunity to Eastern countries such as China to enter the region. Egypt's socialistic turn is nothing new but rather a recurring nightmare for the capitalistic-oriented Arab monarchies here on the Peninsula. President Khalil's recent crackdowns provides us numerous opportunities to seep into AFS society and slowly release the unhinged rejections of Khalil's democratic liberalistic initiatives that I am confident has angered quite the many tribal leaders and military officials...With Iran, we must continue their isolation and further widen their economic downturn. For the Galla, we must completely remove them from the Peninsula and contain them to Africa whilst upending the Muslim populations to strike back across East Africa. You all here have shown me the available opportunities that await our exploitation...and with this, we shall."[/sub][/list]

King Talal would flash a smile as he sat back all the more comfortable as he gazed back to the Arabian Gulf.

SEPTEMBER 8TH 2024

EL-AZAD SOLIDIFIES CONTROL OVER EGYPT - PARAMERICANS ASKED TO LEAVE

El-Azad in his second address to Egypt over the Capital Broadcasting Center's television station has claimed that all of Egypt is now under his government's control. The last of Sisi's men have surrendered to Egyptian forces just north of the Sudanese border, and El-Azad has had the Egyptian ambassador (who seems to have taken the side of the coup government along with his staff) in Khartoum request the extradition of the hundred and fourteen "agents of Sisi's criminal regime" that fled into Sudan yesterday. Sisi himself has not been seen in public yet, though El-Azad's government is promising to publish detailed records of his corruption and "crimes against the Egyptian people" in the coming days. The Egyptian foreign ministry with its new leadership appointed by El-Azad has also requested the complete withdrawal of American troops in Egypt. El-Azad's soldiers have been seen setting up positions near and around American military bases and the foreign ministry has demanded American troops leave between now and the 12th of September. This deadline will likely not be long enough to move all of the American military equipment out of their bases. The vast majority of the Egyptian Air Force and Navy have gone along with El-Azad's coup and both are preventing the take off of American military aircraft and departure or arrival of American ships, respectively. Supply shipments to American bases or communication with the USA have not been interrupted according to the CBC.

El-Azad has promised the Egyptian people that "revolutionary councils" will be formed to replace corrupt local legislatures and that the duties of these councils will be chiefly to "propose laws and advise the government on the people's attitudes". This is part of El-Azad's 'provisional constitution' that reorganizes the Egyptian government and also provides for the solicitation of suggestions from the people as to what they would like to see in the new Egyptian constitution. Public reaction has been mixed but so far El-Azad seems to be following through on his promises and the price of fuel and electricity in Cairo and other cities has been reduced by state owned businesses controlled by the El-Azad government. The price of food is likely to follow in the coming weeks. The operation of the Suez canal and most of the Egyptian economy has continued uninterrupted though El-Azad has refused to meet with Egyptian business leaders until the twentieth.

El-Azad when asked by Egyptian media about President Bolsonaro of Brazil's comments called the Brazilian leader a "puppet of zionists and the USP who should not be taken seriously". He has done nothing via diplomatic channels other than demand the extradition of several of Sisi's men from Brazil and the return of several Egypt Air aircraft seized by Brazilian authorities. El-Azad has also sought to transfer Egyptian assets in foreign banks into Egyptian banks and out of what he believes to be foreign hands. Word of El-Azad potentially nationalizing the entire banking system of Egypt has been circulating on Egyptian social media since this morning but as of now is unconfirmed.

OPERATION DESERT EAGLE

SEPTEMBER 10, 2024

RIYADH, KINGDOM OF SAUDI ARABIA

LIBERATION OF THE REPUBLIC OF YEMEN FROM THE GALLA

The implementation of S-400 SAM systems in Jazan and Nazran strategically isolated Northern Yemen from the South in an effort to solidify the position of Saudi Arabia in the South. With assistance from Arab Federal States with aerial and ballistic missile operations to isolate Gallan forces at Aden, King Al-Waleed bin Talal al-Saud and Prince Nasser bin Hamad Al-Khalifa both came to an agreement that the deployment of a liberation force into Yemen would be substantial yet necessary for the complete protection of the Peninsula and the eradication of Galla forces.

With successful operations in Oman and incorporation of Oman into the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the battle hardened forces (150,000 participated in the occupation of Oman) would be reprioritized toward Yemen. The occupation force includes the following:

In a coordinated pincher maneuver, the Saudi Red Sea Fleet would deploy the following Naval ships to the Gulf of Aden to isolate Yemen from Eastern African projection points that could be used to reinforce:

[list][pre]3 x Oliver Hazard Perry-class Guided Missile Frigates

2 x La Fayette-class Frigates

1 x Dosan Ahn Changho-class submarines[/pre][/list]

King Al-Waleed would seek an additional 5,000 Paratroopers to be prepared for immediate deployment directly into Aden to seize Yemen's strategic port and to convert what remains of it as a Saudi entry point into the underbelly of Yemen.

NKVD UNION's Declaration of Independence:

Self-Determination, Secession and Recognition

I.BACKGROUND

Within the former Kingdom of Sanaristan (SNR), Sanaristan was a single hegomonic province with six other autonomous governates. The ethnic make-up of Sanaristan is majority arabic with many other ethnic minorities. Its autonomy was ended by minority leader Pasha Abdul Hafiz in 1990 who seized regency and took the province for his own. In 1991 and 1992, five of six governates declared independence. In 1992, the crumbling Kingdom seceded territories in an effort to quell a rebellion with the condition that all five other governates do not form a coalition or circumvent a union. However in 2003, a coalition was formed through minority nationalist leader Pasha Aadan Kwame in clear violation, its intentions made known in demanding further territorial secessions and reparations for "economic slavery" that it claims is still persistent even after independence.

In 2004, the Southern Union was formed from what was initially a coalition. Its government initiated police and military actions in the SNR, which resulted in widespread atrocities. After failed political negotiations to resolve the demands of Pasha Aadan Kwame, the Kingdom of Sanaristan withdrew recognition of its previously seceded territories and launched an air campaign to force the Southern Union to withdraw police and military intrusions with further plans to disarm them into former separate governates. The Kingdom was able to suppress its former subjects politically and regained key areas of control but the Southern Union resorted to guerrilla warfare that persisted for more than 10 years. Pasha Aadan fortunately, fled to bordering regions while the will of the resistance died down. Throughout the Southern Union's existence violence intensified with a massive death toll and a crumbling economy that is consistently falling short to sustain the war. Death tolls are high, infrastructure is wrecked and the economy not being able to help its former soldiers returning to the motherland; Pasha Abdul Hafiz faced challenges that would seal the fate of the Kingdom.

II. ASSESSING DECLARATION

In a stroke of irony, a revolutionary council was formed by a Commanding Officers of the Fifth Rifle Division espousing nationalist ideals and pushing for the removal of the current administration. The council made use of disgruntled conscripts wounded by the horrors of war to spread its message in calling the Kingdom a "Kingdom only by name" with Pasha Abdul Hafiz as illegitimate and incompetent in handling the Southern Union insurgency and domestic affairs. With worsening conditions on the streets, hundreds if not thousands gathered together in the capital calling for the abdication of Pasha Abdul Hafiz with political concessions in creating a republic similar to those in Europe. Pasha Abdul Hafiz resisted these calls and rained upon them brutal secret service personnel that resulted in deaths of 23 people when a firecracker was thought to be gunshots and live rounds used to disperse the mob. Assessing the conditions of the current administration as tyranny and unwilling to compromise, the NKVD UNION was formed by the Revolutionary Council who led the war in the Southern Union. Its people, rejoiced as the military intervened and launched a coupe to seize the seat of power and remove Pasha Abdul Hafiz and his administration.

Infantrymen of the Fifth Rifle Division stormed the capital in taking key positions on the 1st of May at 7.30am. At 8.40a.m, a statewide news broadcast was made in addressing the newly formed NKVD Union. It made its plan clear to the people that the revolution is not yet over where Pasha Abdul Hafiz is still in the Grand Palace with loyalists barricading the entire area in preparation of a siege. The Pasha has made calls to the army to mobilize and suppress the rogue division but it remains unclear as to where the rest of the army stands on this. Needless to say, the revolutionary council proclaims its independence and made known to the world its calls for recognition of the new state and derecognition of the old state. As time runs short, the Revolutionary council hopes for a swift political victory before the rest of the indecisive army come to terms with one another.

My Post isnt rp tho, its just a context script for my fictional nation

| KINGDOM OF SPAIN |

| GOBIERNO IMPERIAL DE ESPAÑA |

______________

Rise and Fall: Is the Spanish Socialist Workers Party (PSOE) a socialist juggernaut or a shadow of its former self?

| The Spanish Socialist Workers Party or PSOE is Spain's leading social democratic political party, headed by party leader Pedro Sanchez. Founded by Pablo Iglesias Posse in 1879, the party rose to become a socialist juggernaut in the nation, winning election after election. During the Spanish Civil War, the PSOE and its hundreds of thousands of supporters backed the Republican forces in the War. During the Francoist era under Francisco Franco, PSOE and Republican supporters alike were persecuted, arrested, and killed by the nationalist government in Madrid. Due to this, the party was forced into hiding, and its support dwindled in the 60s and 70s. When Franco died in 1975, the PSOE reemerged as a growing power and seized a strong foothold in the country's first elections since the start of the Civil War in the 1930s. For decades, the Spanish Socialist Workers Party maintained this foothold, keeping its strong hold on the country until the COVID-19 pandemic struck. The Spanish economy declined and the PSOE's response was said by one observer to be 'pathetic'. Thousands of Spaniards died at the hands of the virus, crippling support for the PSOE-led national government in Madrid. |

| In the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Citizens Party (Cs) led by a young, unproven politician named Augustina Torres won a sweeping majority in Catalonia, the northeastern autonomous region of Spain of which Barcelona is the autonomous capital of. Torres and her conservative liberal Citizens Party passed reform after reform, healing Catalonia faster than the rest of the country. By 2024, Spain had mostly recovered, but the scars were still there. The national unemployment rates were higher than ever. Catalonia and the Basque regions were slowly becoming unstable once more, and the PSOE's policies were deduced by top experts to be counterproductive and anti-progressive. In the 2024 National Elections held earlier in the year, Citizens Party (Cs) candidate Augustina Torres, now famous nationwide for her aggressive economic reform tactics which raised Catalonia and its economic recovery rate above the rest of the country, barely won the election, seizing 45% of the vote. Runner up candidate and PSOE party leader Pedro Sanchez seized only 40% of the vote, while his party was unable to grab a majority in the Cortes Generales, Spain's parliament, for the first time in years. With all of this, and the falling popularity of the PSOE, many are now asking the question, Is the PSOE a socialist juggernaut or is it a shadow of its former self? The answer to this question was found recently in the PSOE's reaction to the socialist coup in Egypt. |

| In early September 2024, General Saamir el-Azad of the Egyptian military seized control of the Egyptian state, arresting elected President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi and declaring a socialist republic. While responses to the violent coup and its debilitating effects on the Egyptian populace are mixed, with countries like Poland recognizing the Socialist Republic and countries like Brazil condemning the coup and threatening severe consequences, the Spanish government remains undecisive over the issue. While the Cortes Generales convened on September 7 for an emergency meeting considering the strategic and economical importance of Egypt and the Suez Canal, the Spanish Socialist Workers Party (PSOE) were clearly not that interested in supporting a state that supposedly follows the party's own ideals. According to party leader Pedro Sanchez, this was due to the fact that the coup was 'violent, irrational, and unnecessary' and that the socialist government in Cairo did not deserve recognition from Madrid. In an extremely rare occurrence, the Citizens Party, now holding a majority in the Cortes, along with its leader, Spanish Prime Minister Augustina Torres, agreed wholeheartedly with the PSOE's rhetoric. While economists and various members of the Trade, Foreign Affairs, and Transportation Ministries valiantly opposed the idea, the Cortes Generales passed a resolution restricting the Spanish government from extending formal recognition to the Socialist Republic of Egypt. Although Spain is taking an opposing stance on the coup and new government in Egypt, Prime Minister Augustina Torres stated in a press conference that 'Spain has no intention whatsoever to compromise or otherwise collapse diplomatic relations with the new government in Cairo. We strongly urge the Egyptian government to rethink their tactics of violence and terror, and to hold fair and free elections as soon as possible'. This statement clearly shows the government's intention to remain distanced from the socialist government, while trying its best to prevent economic damage from being dealt to the Spanish nation. |

| In the end, is the PSOE a socialist juggernaut or is it a shadow of its former self? The answer, as with many questions in politics and international relations, is complicated. The PSOE has seen its rise and fall, and the party, under Sanchez's leadership, continues to grow, albeit at a slower pace. Although the Citizens Party dealt a crushing blow to the PSOE's reputation and political influence, the social democrats in Spain continues to grow and expand, both with and against the elected government of Spain. |

"PEACE, PROSPERITY AND PROGRESS" - COURTESY OF YOUR FRIENDS, THE BIG FIVE

AUGUST 2024

As 2025 draws closer so do to the apparent achievements of the years prior, in which Centroamerica has seen excellent growth which has remained mostly in line with Corporate estimations and forecasts for the current period. During the 2020-2024 period, despite coronavirus complications, the Economy of Centroamerica has witnessed a net positive change of 17.54%. This increase beat expectations from foreign financial and economic observers however underperformed in terms of internal estimations of 24.3%. Central to this economic expansion is growing consumer sentiments and income, along with decreased restrictions on out-of-house housing installations (Formerly Corporations provided 80% of Housing in 2011, this has decreased to 68% by 2024). Maintaining a low Debt to GDP ratio as a result of its governmental structure, Centroamerica has enjoyed a relatively stable currency that has allowed its people to retain wealth better than Currencies that are more prone to valuation decreases.

However despite the increases in growth and the overall Economic outlook, almost all increases in profits (81.32%) has been centralized in both the big five itself and their respective subsidiaries. This is a result of increased Government corruption with regards to sector regulation and expansion of said Companies into as of yet untapped Sectors. Since 1998 the Prostitution Sector has been exploited and expanded upon by the Pink Banana Corporation, which has made the sector surpass one billion dollars in overall volume since 2021, and has employed a record number of individuals. This increase of corporate presence in every consumer sector has worsened (or improved) the situation where civilian incomes are almost entirely sucked up by the Corporations through various consumption methods.

Stability does exist, however by all foreign standards Centroamerica is in regulatory terms a complete disaster. The reality of the matter is that as long as the Corporations continue possessing increasingly large profit margins, foreign Firms and Wealthy Investors shall continue to put their trust in the existing system rather than a complete overhaul. Dividends after all say more than the lower classes ever could, and padding the bottomline has always come before pouring soup for the poor. The very cutthroat but extremely profitable nature of the Country makes even the lowest of workers strive to climb the corporate ladder, and by selling out their fellow workers they are afforded many opportunities to do so. These Business practices would almost certainly lead to a regulatory lawsuit or bankruptcy for other Companies, but due to the existing Monopolies there is simply no will nor intent to change.

While Most Western Firms observe Regulations and Safety at home and disregard them abroad, in Centroamerica it is precisely the reverse. Having little to no regard for human life within the Country, the Corporations are meticulously careful to observe every letter of the law when operating abroad in order to maintain their image and that of Centroamerica as at the forefront of Corporate life and expansion. If Germany is the symbol of modernity, with Companies being molded by Government to be fair to individuals, Centroamerica is the very model of Corporatism where the only language that matters is that of a bank account.

GRETA THUNBERG MISSING - SOLAR POWERED CATAMARAN DISAPPEARED OFF THE COAST OF CASABAJA

ooc : Permission for this RP was granted by Sweden

SEPTEMBER 2024

It has now been four days since Greta Thunberg (IC Age 24) was last in contact with the Paramerican Coast Guard and her Family in Europe while she was traveling from Miami to Los Angeles via the Panama Canal. Thunberg was set to give a speech on increasing forestry activity within Centroamerica, however was denied access to Centroamerica itself under the pretense that she was preaching violence against the Government. In technicality this was correct according to Centroamerican law, as she was calling for Centroamericans to riot and protest until the Government acted, which was not received well by the Population as it was in essentiality a rich and clueless white girl telling Centroamerica how to behave and develop.

Traveling on the catamaran La Vagabonde, her Vessel was passing by the Island of Casabaja when the singular Arleigh Burke-class destroyer "Tortuguero" came into their view. Turtuguero remained in close contact with them while approaching them, reassuring them of their presence in Centroamerican waters and stating they were conducting search and rescue with the Centroamerican Coast Guard due to the storm the night prior, when it is believed two fishing vessels went missing in the area. Thunberg and her crew were naturally reassured by this, offering information on what boats they had encountered during their journey which was gracefully received.

Passing by the Tortuguero however things quickly changed, as its 127mm Mark 45 Gun and Phalanx CIWS turned in their direction, opening fire on their Vessel without mercy. Attempting but failing to send a mayday message to the Paramerican Coast Guard due to the volume of fire onto their bridge, the Ship was quickly damaged beyond repair and slipped below the waves. Turning to pass over where the Ship had sunk, the Captain of the Tortuguero throws a wreath into the Water and the crew on deck remove their hats for a few moments, before setting course back to Colón. Truly undeniable proof that speaking against Centroamerica and then presuming to be able to transit its waters is certainly not profitable.

Centroamerica, upon hearing of the disappearance by the Paramerican and European Media have offered its full assistance in tracking the Vessel and its lost crew to "Give solace to their families".

—[/list][/list]

MUMBAI, Nosautempopulus

[sub]140th INTERNATIONAL OLYMPIC COMMITTEE SESSION[/sub]

| At the highly anticipated IOC Session in Mumbai, the Canadian Olympic Committee would wait for the IOC to give their decision. After considering the bidding cities, the International Olympic Committee would announce that Calgary, Alberta, would host the XXVI Winter Olympic Games in 2030, bringing the Olympics back to Canada for the first time since the 2010 games in Vancouver 20 years earlier. The former Mayor of Calgary Naheed Nenshi initiated the process of the Olympic bid years before, but the next administration would continue his efforts to push Calgary back onto the athletic world stage. With the confirmation of its place as host of the 2030 Winter Olympics, Alberta would begin on various construction projects including the new Olympic Villages in Calgary and Nakiska, the new Olympic Oval, and the modernization of venues built for Calgary's 1988 Winter Olympic Games like the Saddledome and Canada Olympic Park. The Chair of the Canadian Olympic Committee would give his prepared acceptance speech. |

[list]| [sub]SCOTT HUTCHESON, Chair of the COC[/sub] | “We eagerly accept this granted account to host the World's sports teams in our beautiful city! Calgary will work hard in the coming years to prepare for this unmatched event of World peace and diversity. We look forward to working with you in further collaboration with the IOC to ensure the best possible experience for not just the athletes and spectators, but also the great citizens that make Calgary the city that you chose to host you. Canada is proud to be bestowed this honor of hosting the XXVI Winter Olympic Games. See you in 2030!”[/list]

| KINGDOM OF SPAIN |

| GOBIERNO IMPERIAL DE ESPAÑA |

______________

Ciudadanos: The Spanish centrist liberal political party that swept the elections and changed the country

| Ciudadanos, or the Citizens Party (Cs) of Spain is a Catalonia-based centrist liberal political party founded in 2006 by Spanish politician Albert Rivera. The party seized a majority in the Parliament of Catalonia in the 2017 national elections, making it the largest single party in the region. Ciudadanos is characterized by aggressive opposition to Catalan nationalism and Catalan calls for independence, claiming that 'Catalonia is our homeland, Spain is our country, and Europe is our future'. It used to present itself as a center-left party that supported a mix of social democratic and progressive-liberal reforms, but swung towards the right when it began to compete with Vox, a right-wing nationalist party, to become the leading center-right party in the country. Although the party's popularity collapsed after poor performance in the 2019 elections, a young, unproven, but rising star politician by the name of Augustina Torres seized power in certain provinces of Catalonia, most notably Barcelona. |

| With the Spanish Socialist Workers Party (PSOE) in charge of the country, the nation began slowly veering towards the left-wing of the political spectrum, further dividing the Cortes Generales and the Spanish elected government as a whole. When the COVID-19 pandemic struck the country and laid to waste the economy and the employment rates, the PSOE attempted to whip the situation into control using left-leaning policies that ended up doing more harm than good. As the COVID-19 virus ravaged the healthcare and general employment sectors, Augustina Torres, led a series of progressive liberal, yet right-wing reforms in Catalonia, with support from desperate political enemies barely keeping their hold on power. Although many Catalans looked at Ciudadanos negatively due to their opposition to Catalan nationalism or independence, these feelings of opposition and hatred towards the party gradually turned into cold neutrality and eventually friendliness as the Citizens Party, now spearheaded by the nationwide celebrity politician Augustina Torres, enacted reform after reform, lifting Catalonia above the economic wasteland that was the rest of Spain.|

| Many noticed the economic revitalization that Catalonia was experiencing, and in the 2022 parliamentary elections, the Citizens Party was thrusted onto the national stage. It secured 24% of seats in the Cortes Generales, overpassing many smaller political parties in the Cortes, and standing up to the rapidly weakening Spanish Socialist Workers Party (PSOE). Nationwide reforms continued to flow through, mostly drafted by the Citizens Party and her allies in the Cortes Generales, and the party's popularity rates and approval ratings skyrocketed. In a Spain previously drowning in unemployment and socialist governance, it was quietly a relief to many Spaniards that a pro-market progressive liberal political party was taking control. Another factor that contributed to the booming success of the Ciudadanos is their president, Augustina Jane Torres. |

| Augustina Jane Torres, now Spain's incumbent Prime Minister, is regarded by many as the main reason the Citizens Party is so successful. Her aggressive economic reform tactics, mixed with her youth compared to other top politicians, allowed her to climb smoothly to the top of the political mountain in Spain. Raised in Jerez de la Frontera in southwestern Spain, she got involved in politics at a young age and joined the Citizens Party in Catalonia in 2010. Since then, she has climbed the political ladder, and was elected President of the party in March 2020, as the party prepared to address the growing threat the Coronavirus posed to Spanish society and economy. As the party president, she introduced and pushed aggressive economic reforms, enacting tax cuts and lowering interest rates to stimulate the economy. By late 2021, as the rest of the country continued to struggle in the wake of the pandemic, a Torres-led Catalonia was booming in terms of economic recovery from the economic depression of the past two years. These policies were brought to the national stage in 2023, following her party's seizing of 24% of seats in the Cortes Generales. She continued this legacy of economic mastership following her election to the Prime Ministership in early 2024, and continues to serve Spain to this day. |

| Although Ciudadanos has been through some ups and downs, from its inception by Albert Rivera in 2006 to its rapid growth in popularity and approval in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, the party continues to grow rapidly and fight on in the aggressive political stage in Spain. Senior political analysts at the University of Madrid and the University of Cadiz conducted a study into the growth of the Ciudadanos party in mid-2024, and the results were surprising. According to polls and research, analysts expect the Citizens Party to continue growing rapidly over the next ten years, with a 3/7 chance that the Prime Ministers within that ten years will be members of the Citizens Party. Considering Augustina Torres is a symbol of gender equality and female empowerment in the country, its no surprise that almost 49% of her voters are women. It is most certain that the Ciudadanos party will push onwards and upwards, going above and beyond to ensure the continual prosperity and progress that Spain is experiencing right now. |

[list][list][pre] Bangladeshi-Brazilian relations strengthened and STEM developments.[/pre][/list][/list]

[pre]________________[/pre]

[pre]After negotiations with the government of Brazil it was decided that both countries would strengthen relations while also encouraging more bilateral trade. The negotiations led to the government of Brazil lowering it's huge tariff of 35% on all Bangladeshi imports to Brazil to a rate of 8% while Bangladesh had to do the same as part of the agreement between the two developing giants of Asia and south America.

Bilateral trade between Brazil and Bangladesh stands at a mere $1.1 billion however that will increase due to the lowering of trade barriers. Brazil recently has started to import pharmaceutical products made in Bangladesh surprisingly but while Bangladesh's pharmaceutical sector might seem underdeveloped as it is considered to be a third world nation the reality in fact is quite the opposite as the highly developed pharmaceutical industry of Bangladesh provides for more than 97% of the total pharmaceutical requirements for the local market and exports to around 82 other countries around the world. bilateral trade between Brazil and Bangladesh had always been in favour of Brazil but it seems that the favour is quickly shifting towards the latter which is Bangladesh.

Another big thing was a new motorcycle assembly plant near the city of Belo Horizonte in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais, it can be considered a testament to Bangladeshi - Brazilian relations and it is not that big of a testament but then again Bangladeshi - Brazilian cooperation is miniscule as of now but it will change as time goes on. The motorcycle assembly plant is to be owned by Runner Automobiles, the first Bangladeshi company to design it's own motorcycles. The company was founded in 2000 and recently celebrated it's 24th birthday by opening the motorcycle assembly plant in Brazil and expanding overseas. The motorcycle assembly plant will manufacture 12 types of motorcycles for the Brazilian market.

Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) is one of the most important if not the most important curriculum in education, STEM is taught in a unique way. It is taught an interdisciplinary and applied approach. Rather than teach the four disciplines as separate and discrete subjects, STEM integrates them into a cohesive learning paradigm based on real-world applications. it is a much needed school curriculum for the rapidly growing Bangladesh and the government has made an effort to promote STEM education and forge future leaders for a better Bangladesh through a project inspired by Imran Khan's STEM education project in 2020. The project plans to do the same thing the government of Pakistan did but at a much larger and more efficient scale. The project will to donate 50 million US dollars or 4.241 billion Bangladeshi Takas worth of electronics and other equipment to around 500 secondary education schools around the nation while also training teachers on how to use such electronics as many do not have such experience. The program will also bring in teachers who can teach the STEM curriculum to such schools.

Many reconstruction plans and advancements were made after the recent PKK rebellion, the Turkish Sultanate has made a plan to further increase the recovery the southern area, and make sure PKK rebellions happen much less often. The Plan includes better security, infrastructure, health, etc. We begin with the increase of vaccinations in southern turkey, construction of clinics across small towns for better healthcare access in mainly rural areas, improved standards of technology will be sent to the clinics, existing clinics at rual areas will be getting upgrades as most are poorly maintained, and ambulances from BMC A.Ş. Educational presence will increase in southern Turkey with new local schools being built across the south. Current existing schools with poor maintenance will experience upgrades, a new school bus system will be made and will be supplied by 8.5m Diesel Buses manufactured by the government. Highways will be upgraded for more safety assets such as more barriers, street lights, and an increased number of traffic cameras. Police and Gendarmerie forces presence will be increased incase another attack from the PKK.

Children/Youth leisure programs will increase, giving youth more time meeting in fun but educational programs. 5.7 Billion will be contributed to the development of the new plans. Japan's Yamaha has sold Turkey 2,000 Yamaha FJR1300Ps, these Police motorcycles will now be designated for the Gendarmerie for better mobility, 600 of them will be lended to local police. These developments are mostly targeted at Turkish Kurdistan where the PKK has hit hard the most.

SEPTEMBER 9TH 2024

EL-AZAD MAKES CANAL POSITION CLEAR, NEW ELECTIONS SCHEDULED FOR JANUARY. NATIONALIZATIONS BEGIN

President el-Azad of Egypt has made his position on the Suez canal treaties that are widely unpopular in Egypt a position of "renegotiation". For now at least his government recognizes no treaty that restricts Egyptian control over the Suez canal, but is open to renewing some treaties that ensured Egypt would not close the canal at any time "if Egypt is treated as an equal at the negotiation table and terms are not imposed" according to El-Azad. Egypt's economic policy so far has mostly consisted of arresting bankers and wealthy people, especially those involved in finance, for alleged "corruption". This includes a number of people in charge of the "National Bank of Egypt" which is the third largest bank in the arab world. The NBE along with several other large Egyptian banks have been nationalized with the arrest of their leaders. Businessmen involved in the real-estate industry and local politicians in Cairo have been arrested very publicly for similar "corruption" charges as the government promises major investment in public housing and infrastructure to reduce overcrowding in Egyptian cities.

On the political front El-Azad has promised that new elections under a new temporary constitution will take place no later than January, after which the elected government will debate and approve a new socialist constitution for Egypt. Until then el-Azad is essentially an absolute leader. Despite the basically unlimited power he has to decide policy Egyptian media apart from the major television networks has been basically unaffected. El-Azad either plans to deal with the media after the Egyptian internal situation has calmed down and there are no immediate threats to him or does not view the media as a threat. El-Azad has so far bought the loyalty of his army and his people but it remains to be seen if he can buy stability and good relations with the major powers of the world.

The Egyptians haven't been ignorant to Japan changing its tune suddenly and the Saudis making statements for the removal of the Egyptian socialist government. For now the only thing that has been done is to put the Egyptian navy in the Mediterranean and the Red Sea on higher alert. No hostile diplomatic statements have been given out and El-Azad has been basically silent on the matter in his speeches but the Egyptian Foreign Ministry did speak to the ambassadors of the USP, Saudi Arabia, Arab Federal States, India, China, and Russia informing them that the Egyptian government would like to pursue a policy of "friendly and mutually beneficial relations" according to sources within the Egyptian government. El-Azad has characterized himself as an "anti-imperialist" on Egyptian television and will likely try and play superpowers and regional powers off each other to try and maintain an independent position for Egypt.

Twelve Mig-29 fighters have been moved to counter the Saudi deployment south of Sinai.

EL-AZAD MAKES CANAL POSITION CLEAR, NEW ELECTIONS SCHEDULED FOR JANUARY. NATIONALIZATIONS BEGIN

President el-Azad of Egypt has made his position on the Suez canal treaties that are widely unpopular in Egypt a position of "renegotiation". For now at least his government recognizes no treaty that restricts Egyptian control over the Suez canal, but is open to renewing some treaties that ensured Egypt would not close the canal at any time "if Egypt is treated as an equal at the negotiation table and terms are not imposed" according to El-Azad. Egypt's economic policy so far has mostly consisted of arresting bankers and wealthy people, especially those involved in finance, for alleged "corruption". This includes a number of people in charge of the "National Bank of Egypt" which is the third largest bank in the arab world. The NBE along with several other large Egyptian banks have been nationalized with the arrest of their leaders. Businessmen involved in the real-estate industry and local politicians in Cairo have been arrested very publicly for similar "corruption" charges as the government promises major investment in public housing and infrastructure to reduce overcrowding in Egyptian cities.

On the political front El-Azad has promised that new elections under a new temporary constitution will take place no later than January, after which the elected government will debate and approve a new socialist constitution for Egypt. Until then el-Azad is essentially an absolute leader. Despite the basically unlimited power he has to decide policy Egyptian media apart from the major television networks has been basically unaffected. El-Azad either plans to deal with the media after the Egyptian internal situation has calmed down and there are no immediate threats to him or does not view the media as a threat. El-Azad has so far bought the loyalty of his army and his people but it remains to be seen if he can buy stability and good relations with the major powers of the world.

The Egyptians haven't been ignorant to Japan changing its tune suddenly and the Saudis making statements for the removal of the Egyptian socialist government. For now the only thing that has been done is to put the Egyptian navy in the Mediterranean and the Red Sea on higher alert. No hostile diplomatic statements have been given out and El-Azad has been basically silent on the matter in his speeches but the Egyptian Foreign Ministry did speak to the ambassadors of the USP, Saudi Arabia, Arab Federal States, India, China, and Russia informing them that the Egyptian government would like to pursue a policy of "friendly and mutually beneficial relations" according to sources within the Egyptian government.

The Imperial Federation of Rome recognizes the Egyptian sovereignity over the Suez, but shall not admit the disrespect of the Convention of Constantinople that regulates the Canal. The free passage across the Suez is vital for the survival of the Empire and that measures against it will be force to take a more energic position.
