Nation name: The Arabian Empire

National Ideology: To protect their interests and the interests of all Arabs, to take Iraq, Syria Turkey and Jordan into their territory to further this goal and instate themselves as a major world power.

Nation's Leader(s): Empress Zella Nazari

National Government Type: Monarchy

National history: The Arabian Empire is a very new nation, being formed only 5 years ago when a young woman began to rally her tribe, and then surrounding tribes in a quest to conquer and protect all Arab lands from foreign interference. Zella Naziri, frustrated from a young age by the lack of identity and power in the area, began to gather followers when she was only 14, beginning the seeds of a new nation. Working together to push out foreigners, and to unite other Arab's. they soon found their power growing, until at the age of only 19 Zella had built the foundations of an empire looking to eschew the more traditionally religious and secular culture of the region in exchange for uniting all Arabs, regardless of creed or tribe so that they could all together work to protect their borders and culture.

Language: Arabic. (other tribal variations and languages.)

National Religion: No set religion. Most common is Islam, with Christianity coming second.

National Culture/Identity: Strong sense of individualism and militarism, as well as a manifest destiny to conquer all Arab lands and protect each other from outside aggression.

Capital City: Mecca

Population: 5,100,400.

Please remember to post this to the Archive Thread

Change the names of your ships classifications to:
Battleships --> Third Rate ship of the line
Frigates --> Fourth Rate ship of the line
Schooner stays the same, I recommend adding in a Fifth rate Frigate (40-44 guns)

Besides that, I'd ask you issue smoothbore muskets to the infantry, so that we don't have a force of a couple hundred thousand Arab marksmen with rifles muskets. You can keep a sizeable chunk using Rifles, since they were so previlent in Arab culture of the time.

Wait, arent those the exact classifications I gave my ships? (Sorry If I dont understand, as I said I dont really know very much about Napoleonic navy and ships.)

Ill add the smooth bore muskets though.

EDIT: Never mind the ship classifications, I figured out what you're asking.

I ask because I want to know who my enemies are probably going to be before I get there, so I can have a better plan.

K. Can't wait to get you into the game. Although its quite sad that i'm allying Jerusalem, so we may come into conflict with each other. RIP

Anyway, Halium, can you continue the battle in Texas?

Probably both. I think England is going to follow history and take southern Yemen and Oman, while I may come into conflict with your nation, over religious disputes.

Do you want to fight a war with Jerusalem and France, do you?! I will only take Jordan and Syria, and circumnavigate Iraq, but I will push for Iraq and Kuwait if you invade.

What OP said, but if you join us we could possibly give you significant arab-majority portions of the Levant and some pretty screamin trade deals especially since we now control over 50% of the world's pepper supply.

Hmm. Im gonna have to keep an eye on them.

Do you want to fight a war with Jerusalem and France, do you?! I will only take Jordan and Syria, and circumnavigate Iraq, but I will push for Iraq and Kuwait if you invade.

See, we need all Arab nations under our banner. Syria and Jordan count as far as we're concerned.

But, we'll keep the tentative peace for now.
