Al-Kindi was next in line to talk to Ms. Ashford and when he heard the doors open and her calling for the next person. He stood up slowly with the use of a old wooden cane which had obviously been hand made years ago with the wood brushed and did colored as a result of years of use. He walked up to door of Ms. Ashfords office and walked in after a knock on the door. He slowly shuffled his way into the room and took his appropriate seat.
"Salam Ms. Ashford it's a pleasure to meet you." He said as he sat down and placed a portfolio on the table with the words "Bazrashi Census Information"

"Here is a very basic overview of religious, ethnic, and linguistic demographics in Bazrasha. I do wish I could give you more in depth numbers but this is what the government have me. Anyway as for history... Well the nations history goes back all the way to the first Shahiman in 612 BC but for simplicity we will start at the bargaining of the third and current republic." He said in his aged, raspy, weary, and calm voice typical for a man of his age.
"The start of the republic had it's roots in the start if the White Revolution something I experienced first hand as I was a high ranking member of the Republican alliance. Basically what the White revolution was was a civil protest against the Communist Government preformed by an organization of several underground political parties known as the Democratic Opposition which called for a peaceful transition to democracy. This started in 1989 and the protest lasted until the communist government agreed to hold democratic election. In 1992 the communist lost power in the first democratic election in the nation in over 20 years. The election brought a united conservative coalition government and obviously they brought in some conservative policies although nothing that would cause any sort of controversy. During this time thanks to a well developed national Infrastructure and economic polices which favored rapid growth the economy skyrocketed through the rest of the 90's and early 2000's before the economy started to hit a plateau and fears of a financial crisis set in which is obvious when you run such a strongly capitalistic economic policy. So in 2003 the government set in measures to help stop a financial crisis and the expense of high economic growth. So that's really the biggest thing which have happened to the nation thus far. Oh and I forgot this." He said as he pulled out another small spreadsheet from his old leather suitcase.
