The People
The Cruhadi people are almost enirely of Arab descent, with Arabs making up 98% of the population. A small slavic minority once held power but this is no longer the case. The society is very urban, as the Cruhad is relatively small, and lax industrial control laws have allowed the pollution of much of the countryside. The small amount of rural farmers and ranchers do get generous government subsidies however.
Racial tensions have never been extreme to the relative homogenous nature of the country. This has infact led to high nationalism and a sense of national pride, which has occasional become a hindrance in international affairs.
The Geography
Cruhad has the misfortune to be situated in a very arid section of Menotomy. However, due to the difficulty of living in these conditions, Cruhadis are hard-nosed, and hard-working. Most of the fertile land borders the Saleh River which flows through the middle of the country. The capital, El-Hattal is built on the coast where the Saleh meets the ocean.
Mountains on the border with Polska and Baltoslavia contain uranium deposits.
==The Government The current government of Cruhad is a single party republic. A senate is elected by the people every 5 years. Two consuls are then elected by the senate to be the executive branch. A unanimous decision between both consuls is needed to pass any bill. The serving consuls are Barry Al-Dar and Rahman Al'Saud, who were former leaders in the glorious revolution. They have been the only two consuls in Cruhadi history and have been serving for the past three senates.
History
Early History
Before Cruhad was formed, only nomadic tribes lived in the vast deserts that now make up most of Cruhad. Then these tribes banded together to form a group of nine tribes led by their nine high clerics. The clerics decided to settle down in the desert they called their home. Thus Cruhad was born.
The Cleric Age
For many years these nomads turned Cruhadis were content to live under the benevolent of the nine high clerics. For years the clerics ruled wisely and justly. They did not overly opress the citizens and the average Cruhadi lived a good life.
