Nejd-Asir is a nation in The Arab League. It was created on May 19th, 2007. This factbook, unless specifically noted, refers wholly to the IC nation.
History
Nejd-Asir in it's current form did not form until well into the beginning of this history, because without the introduction, the rest of the history makes no sense.
For centuries, Arabia consisted of innumerable warring tribes. Most tribes were dominated by one or two dynastic families. In Nejd, the Sa'ud family and the Rashid family were the most dominant and A'shir was totally dominated by the Mehitabel family. By 1902, The Rashidi family came to dominate the Nejd and began expanding to the al Qasim and al Mekkah regions. Al Mekkah had recently been effectively annexed by the Mehitabeli 'Asir. After much squabbling and warmongering, the Rashid and Mehitabel families agreed to co-operate to dominate the entire area jointly.
In apporxomately 1933, Abdullah Mohammed bin Talal, the Rashid patriarch, declared the Emirate of Nejd. In 1940, The Emirate of Nejd became the Emirate of Nejd-Asir as the Mehitabel family joined the Rashid family. Since that time, Nejd-Asir has come to dominate all of there surrounding regions, with the exsclusion of the Jizan region.
In 1961, the Emirate nearly collapsed into civil and family war after Abdullah bin Talal died. The Rashid family wanted his son, Sa'ud ibn Mitab to become the new emir, while the Mehitabels wanted Mut'eb bin Aziz, the Vizier of the Emirate to recieve the throne. In the end, they chose to jointly rule the emirate for 12 years, at which point a joint meeting of the Rashidi and Mehitabeli princes would elect the new emir. That system has served ever since.
Only once, in 1974, has the dominance of the Rashid and Mehitabel families been truly resisted. A civil uprising in Jedda, the capital, denounced Mehtib Azeez ibn Sa'ud as the rightful ruler of Nejd-Asir. He was nearly assasinated, but the military was able to put down the remainder of the uprising.
