National Overview: Quyhria is a sovereign confederation of states, unified under a common Islamic heritage. The nation's history dates back to 1,200 BCE, which saw the rise of the Bronze Age Urmayyan Empire and Civilization, and early Semitic kingdom known for its complex government bureaucracy and society, traits uncommon for most collective societies at the time. The civilization collapsed quickly after the bronze age collapse, starting the Urmayyan Dark Ages, from 800 BCE to 200 BCE. The age ended at that time when the kingdoms finally unified under Hassan the Great, who unified the warring city states and kingdoms into the Neo-Urmayyan Empire. The newly established empire expanded inward, contacting the peoples who inhabited the area and subjugating them. The empire has quick to fracture in 20 BC, following an unable period of civil wars over various succession crises.
The territory unified again, but this time under Ayyub the Magnificent, in 1227 AD, who claimed to be a direct descendent of Mohammed (the region was islamified over the centuries). The Ayyubite Caliphate continued to prosper until 1241, following Ayyub's death, which saw over a decade of civil war that threatened the empire's stability. The empire managed to pull things together under Ibrahim Abdulrashid in 1257, one of Ayyub's major generals, who unified the empire under the Abdulrashid Dynasty. The empire continued to thrive and exist for severalmhundred years until the 1700s, which saw colonial powers subjecting the empire to harsh treaties and the temporary cession of various ports. This period of humiliation was followed by a period of corruption and slow loss of faith in the theocratic monarchy. Finally resulting in the March Revolution, which overthrow the monarchy in a civilian-backed military coup and established the authoritarian one-party state that the modern era has come to recognize.
