The civil war in Lebanon has been raging for 5 years now a lot has changed in the region as well including the newly established Islamic Republic of Iran and their war with Iraq and Syria has intervened sending thousands of soldiers since 1976. Now several groups battle for control of Lebanon encompassing many races, religions, and ideologies and sometimes overlapping one another and fighting one another.

In the midst of the chaos, American CIA operative Bill Buckley was kidnapped by members of the Party of Justice an Arab Nationalist group at war with the occupation forces. The US Government dispatched Gregory Sears an expert tracker and special forces soldier with the goal of recovering Buckley from the Party of Justice as well as gathering info on the Party of Justice. However not everything is as it seems, and only time will tell of what the true situation is. Now it is 1980 the war is still undecided multiple nations and groups are involved and the actions made from here on will ultimately affect the war.

Wait, so are we allowed to use custom nations in this? Or is it strictly real stuff?

Yes custom nations are allowed just as long as it is realistic (ie not like a galatic space empire) or something, my own nation is a fictional one yet relevant in the rp.
