Name
The Name Arabia means "Land of Arabs". The name has been officially adopted by Arabs for their homeland for as long as they have been a culture.
History
Arabia is, as it has always been, an endless desert and home to countless tribes and families. Only recently, under the later reign of the Emirs has Arabia become 'modernised'.
It is beleived that Arabs inhabitated the southern part of what is now Arabia, much of modern-day Socialist Freemen, Philanchez, and Tetris L-Shaped Block. The time Arabs actually moved to what is now Arabia is undetermined and unrecorded. Tradition holds that they moved their after the 'great flood'.
Not much is known after that point until the rise of Islam. It is known that Arabia was never home to any great empires, nor has it ever been concquered by an outside force. Historically, Arabs have been a peacful people, though the region has produced many great military and political minds who travelled to foreign lands and fought in others' wars. After the rise of Islam, Arabs became far more aware of foreigners and the region around Baghdad became very wealthy.
Modern History
General
Government
The government of Arabia has changed drastically in the last 7 years, since the downfall of the Emirate and the rise of civil war and a quasi-republic. See the above history for a full explanation of the events surrounding the recent political mess.
The Emirate
The Emirate of Arabia (17??-2004) was the longest running sigle government in Arabia's history. Under the Emirate, all administrative, political, judicial, legislative, and military power was concetrated on one man. The Emir was the Head of State and of Government and either personally or indirectly controlled all aspects of the state affairs of Arabia. The royal family was at first, the House of Abbas, but later, the House of Husein incorporated intself into the Royal Family and ruled over a 'Huseini Arabia'.
The first Emir, Sadar Abbas al-'Amir, laid down the basic law of the Emirate based off the Shari'a Law and set most of the precedences observed by all emirs since. The most influential emir and widely regarded as the greatest of all, Nasar Sadam Abbas, revolutionanised the way the Emirate was run. He was the first to create a state department and the first to assign a chief of war, which was until then the Emir's primary task. Under the emirate however, Arabia lost its cultural touch and its large fortune. Only did the economy truly grow beyond agriculture in 2002, when oil was discovered under the sands of Arabia.
The State of Arabia
After Emir Abdullah Sa'id Husein II was overthrown, Arabia plunged into civil war. When Zayed Abbas became the de facto leader of the Arabs, he proclaimed a new State of Arabia. He invisioned his new state as a secular, socialist, arab democracy. Sadly, his dream was never recognised, as after his death and the resulting civil war, Arabs elected Rashid Ali al-Kaylani as Ayatollah. The Ayatollah, while promoting democracy and the people's voice, ran Arabia in a similar fashion to the Emir.
The Ayatollah moved the capital from isolated Mosqat to a more international city, Dimash'q. There, he centralised the goverenment and created the Parliament. Under him, the Ba'ath Party and the Kapitalists flourished.
