I'm really sorry to say this, but Jordan and Israel are the last accepted players.
The number we have now is a large group, and it takes a while to get these larger turns out.
But, a big family is a happy one
A happy family=Chemical weapons, religious beheadings, Kurdish and Coptic genocide, firing squads and car bombs?

i've been debating with myself on how much detail to put into my turns, since at the start i didn't put that much in but everyone else seemed to have more going on so i followed suit
[B]To Do:[/B]
- Just Husaynis
Turn may be out by tonight if I can do all the re-writing
Sorry. I put a lot of detail into it because I want more control on the outcome.
It's going to be a Crisis Turn, prepare to diplomacy
WHO DONE IT.

So does that mean the interval is a month now rather than 4?

[b]Southern Arab Democratic Republic[/b] - Griffster26
[quote]Government - Socialist Republic
Alignment - Leaning to WARPACT
International Opinion - Violent Revolutionary Republic
Economic Situation - Somewhat Weak (Growing)
Domestic Situation - Calm
Military Situation - Somewhat experienced, secondhand weaponry
Corruption - Minor[/quote]
- Begrudgingly, the SADR recognizes the existence of Israel, but refuses to agree to Israel’s claims of east Jerusalem
- The Southern Arab Democratic Republic moves to participate in economic cooperation with the eastern Council for Mutual Economic Assistance (COMECON), leaning the nation further into Soviet influence
- Immediately upon admission into COMECON, the SADR purchases huge numbers of Soviet military equipment, including aircraft, tanks and APCs. The equipment falls into the hands of relatively inexperienced users, and Egyptian pilots are hired to train the Southern Arabian air force
- After receiving the equipment, a campaign against the Children of Husayn begins. Airstrikes in Basra have little effect other than spooking the rebels and killing civilians, as the Southern Arab pilots lack reconnaissance
- Reports of torture and mass executions come in from the border cities of Iraq where Southern Arab “peace camps” detain Husayni rebels. The United Nations condemns these actions, while the SADR goes on a rant about “The british did it first”
- Two state-run oil companies, PERGOC and SAGOC (Persian Gulf Oil Company, Southern Arabian Gas and Oil Company) pop up along the unused oil and gas fields that pepper the south of the nation. Few jobs are created, as the government is busy spending most of its money on the war effort
- In a push for energy independence, the SADR attempts to build a nuclear power reactor. However, the lack of cheap uranium puts the project off for now

Alignment - Leaning to WARPACT
International Opinion - Neutral
Economic Situation - Moderately Strong (Stagnating)
Domestic Situation - Calm (Sustained)
Military Situation - Relatively inexperienced, subpar quality
Corruption - Moderate[/quote]
- Egyptian ports on the coast of the Red Sea open up directly to the SADR, allowing trade ships to move freely between both nations without needing to pass through the Suez Canal
- Egyptian airstrikes begin to hammer onto Husayni transports and troop movements, but are ineffective in urban centers. The hand-me-down Soviet equipment combined with poor experience and lack of reconnaissance leaves hundreds of civilians dead
- Ramping up the whole “military leader of the region” thing, the UAR sends troops to the border with Israel, focusing mainly on the growth of the Brotherhood in Lebanon. Military exercises result with these troop movements, and Israeli border guards twitch with anticipation of war
- Internally, the UAR continues projects of social and economic development, tuition costs to state-run universities are lowered, and land reforms allow for the creation of larger (see: state owned) farms in Upper Egypt
- Hotels spring up near the Pyramids in hopes of attracting both tourists and customers, as Red Sea tourism is “an economic must” according to the heads of government in Cairo
- Excess products are immediately shoved off to the Soviet Union, which gobbles down various items such as iron and coal
- In order to boost the amount of food that can be distributed to the people, large fisheries crop up in the Red Sea, with much of the farms holding schools of mostly Tilapia (common in the region)
- Medical procedures, such as open heart surgery and even brain surgery, are practiced in medical schools across Egypt, mimicking that of western hospitals. A push for medical reform alerts many job-hungry post-med students in Europe to flock to Egypt

[b]The Brotherhood of Bkerké[/b] - Native Hunter
[quote]Type - Theocratic Humanitarians
Infighting - Minimal
International Opinion - Humanitarian Group
Funding - Powerful
Armaments - Second hand and captured supplies[/quote]
- Brotherhood “Knights” flock into Syria, spreading the Maronite gospels. The Ba’thist government is furious, and immediately attempts to push the “rabble rousers” out of the country. However, the small Christian communities in places like Homs and Damascus are swayed, and some of them even head to Lebanon to join in the Brotherhood
- Alongside missionary work, the Brotherhood sends a large contingent of unarmed humanitarian workers to create refugee camps in Iraq. The Kurds, Husayni rebels and Iraqi Government are too wrapped up with one another to care about the refugee camps, and dispersed Iraqis of all ethnicities and faiths flock to these camps
- Members of the Iraqi christian community feel comforted by the Brotherhood’s presence, and some join up to assist in the humanitarian work
- The Brotherhood openly condemns the fighting in Iraq, and urges both west and east to try and bring it to an end before it gets out of hand
- With the chaos raging in Iraq, and the government’s popularity plummeting, the Brotherhood seizes the opportunity to begin pushing for emergency elections. A petition goes out to the people, and within weeks, thousands of signatures are on the list
- A huge Easter Mass is held, and during the ceremonies, the Brotherhood takes the time to announce its pledge to run for office. They are met with applause
- With that announcement in mind, the Brotherhood also calls upon the United States Government to fund the organization, and begs that the Vatican allow the Brotherhood to go worldwide
- The Holiest of Holies accepts the request, and offices for the Brotherhood begin construction in the Vatican
- Peaceful demonstrations begin in the streets of Beirut, calling for the government to step down and allow for new democratic elections to take place. Frightened by the sheer number, the parliament caves in, and the election process begins in late April
- Lebanese elections, still taking place, show the Brotherhood with a fairly heavy lead, with the opposition unable to form coalitions and thus falling behind. However, the governmental transfer cannot begin until May, as reorganization is bound to occur
- With such progress made, one would wonder if another thing is going to get skipped over during wri

- The International Persian Sports League (IPSL) is founded in the wake of large numbers of international games being held in cities like Tehran and Tabriz. Most of the competitions take place between China and the US, as the two consider themselves far superior to the other
- The money that is generated goes directly into funding hotels and business centers across the country in order to attract foreign personnel that are willing to stake a claim in the growing Persian economy
- Embassies and centers for diplomacy are opened up with the United Kingdom, United States and China. However, the USSR is overtly excluded, which infuriates Moscow, who in turn blame the Chinese for the development
- A huge series of military games take place in the desert regions of the Golestan mountains. During these, both American and Chinese military advisors (and salesmen) are invited to partake in overseeing the games
- Behind the scenes, a massive screening process is underway, which removes both subordinates and generals who are viewed as “corrupt”, and immediately sends them out with a dishonorable discharge
- Anti-corruption drives arrive in local governments as well, as the nation continues to adopt foreign law and order policies, namely the American style. Administrative honesty is a must, and yearly reports begin trickling into Tehran so the federal government can observe progress or the lack thereof
- Persia’s credit and economic situation as a whole begins to grow rapidly, as the competition in the middle east heats up
- The borders are opened up to Shia refugees. However, they are resettled across the country, as to not increase the number of Arabs in the region of Khuzestan
- Social policy changes in Khuzestan numb the pain of the Arab population, while simultaneously leashing the region back into the fold with the rest of the various governments
- Persian workers are encouraged to begin working for the many foreign businesses that have cropped up within the country, and return their investments to local economies. This now puts Persia in the limelight of being an export-driven country in the Middle East that doesn’t focus entirely on oil, making them a key economic interest for foreign powers
- However, the Persian oil companies aren’t just rolling over. Huge projects take place in oil-rich regions, and Saudi oil techniques are outright copied. This causes critics of the Persians to lash out, who are silenced by the increasing number of barrels produced and exported by the country
- Mimicking the growing Japanese rail-based public transportation, a “Bullet Train” of sorts begins construction, linking Tehran and Esfahan. The project is expensive, unwieldy, and will take well over a year to develop, but the benefits far outweigh the negatives

[b]The Children of Husayn[/b] - Emperor Scorpious II
[quote]Type - Theocratic Separatists
Infighting - Minimal
International Opinion - Powerful Rebels
Funding - Strong
Armaments - Imported materials[/quote]
- With the strange bedfellows of the Saudis arriving, the Husayni rebels are able to take a breather and begin their march on Baghdad
- Slugfests with the Iraqis begin, but Husayni rebels are able to breach Iraqi government defenses and begin a guerilla campaign from inside the city. However, outright capture of the capital has yet to happen, as the Iraqis are still able to push back even with their waning capabilities
- Within weeks, the few rebel fighters that were able to make it inside are rounded up and executed if they had not already died in the fighting. This, however, inadvertently makes them martyrs
- The number of fighters for the Children of Husayn erupts due to the news of international support and intervention. Both hardliners and liberalists join up in order to bring the fighting to a swift and easy end
- The continuing airstrikes on Husayni positions weaken the resolve of the rear-line fighters, but the supporters of the group are far too fervent to be willing to give up
- Husayni “diplomats” continue to weasel into Baghdad and pressure the Iraqi government for surrender. This, surprisingly enough, begins to work as the Iraqi resolve weakens day by day
- A deal has yet to be reached, as the international stage still paints Iraq as a contested province. Pressure from within forces the Husayni rebels to outright surround the city with the aid of the Saudis and Kurds, but the siege continues and shows no sign of breaking

- To ease tensions, an embassy for Persia is constructed in Riyadh. The two nations, though religiously separate, have a common goal, and rivalry is the worst way to achieve it
- In a shocking turn of events, the Saudi government begins supporting the Kurdish and Husayni rebels, and condemns the very existence of the Iraqi government
- Saudi aircraft begin striking Baghdad and Iraqi military convoys, but are ineffective when doing precision hits in cities due to rules of engagement
- Ground units begin flooding in through Al-Anbar province, including the newly purchased armor brigades. Unfortunately, the Jordanian and Saudi ground troops are unable to cooperate, and the Saudis are caught up in the slugfest in Al-Anbar
- Other ground forces begin assisting the Husayni rebels during their march to Baghdad, but are also caught up in entrenched fighting. However, the Saudis go on a humanitarian campaign in the process, handing out candy to children and evacuating civilians as they slowly meander to the capital
- A pipeline is hastily constructed that snakes through Husayni territory and into Saudi Arabia. This oil is seized directly from Iraq, and foreign observers cry resource stealing, but their whining is drowned out by the sounds of fighting
- “The Faceless”, the rumored special operations group, is confirmed to exist, though their motives and exact location are unknown
- With the war and regional stability in mind, the Saudis continue to push for their own economic prowess. Ports are constructed in both the Persian Gulf and Red Sea, which attracts foreign oceanic-based companies to set themselves up in the capitalist-friendly country
- Public prayer ceremonies are held to support a religious backing behind the intervention. Wahhabi hardliners are still furious with the thought of supporting the Shia Husaynis, but are forced to keep their mouth shut when the King leads the prayers
- Mechanical and Aeronautical engineering wings of the University, which in turn attracts large numbers of foreign students to continue their studies in the country
- New parts for oil rigs are designed from these studies, but are unable to be put to use en-masse

- Fearing the encroachment of Egyptian military exercises, the government in Israel moves to condemn the Egyptian’s stockpile of chemical weapons. Diplomats swoon the UN observers with mentions of World War 1 and the Holocaust, but little is accomplished
- Conscription is reevaluated, and all members of society over the age of 18 are expected to put in 2 years minimum of military service. This upsets liberals in the community, but the threat of total annihilation keeps them in line
- Exercises involving evacuation, gas attacks, massed mobilization, fast-response drills and moving innocents to bomb shelters are conducted in response to the Egyptians
- American military personnel arrive in Israel in order to conduct joint training, as the US sees Israel as a key ally in the fight against the spread of socialism in the region
- Alongside training, the US signs a deal with the Israelis to export large amounts of arms to the country. This upsets much of the conservative leaders in Arab countries, but picking on the US’ choice isn’t a viable option as they are a massive economic consumer for the region
- A campaign for “Judaic Unification” begins, playing on the fears and concerns of jewish citizens in Israel. This riles up a lot of conservatives, who in turn push for a preemptive invasion of Jordan, though their calls fall on deaf ears
- A second campaign goes for the creation of STEM education centers in Tel Aviv. These schools attract many who are desperate for jobs, and allow the small Israeli manufacturing companies to grow ever so slightly
- Workshops are encouraged to begin cropping up throughout the country, which in turn causes the razing of local Palestinian homes. PLO raids into Israel repeatedly sabotage these building projects, but cannot stop their progress
- Importations into Tel Aviv include crude oil from friendly nations like the US. This in turn sparks a push for oil refining plants to go up along the coastline. These refineries are tiny, but pack a serious punch and show that Israel can indeed support itself
- A crude “Anti-Ballistic Missile” system is designed. Using radar, the defense system can detect large projectiles and sends a wall of smaller explosives to engage and destroy the threat. The system is extremely expensive and somewhat ineffective, but it is nonetheless inspiring and intimidating

- Jordanian airstrikes begin pounding the city of Baghdad and Iraqi military positions. Like other airstrikes in the Iraqi campaign, these strikes are relatively ineffective. However, unlike the others, the Iraqi military makes itself a tad more obvious, and the strikes inadvertently make it easier for the Husayni and Kurdish rebels to advance towards the now entrenched city of Baghdad
- The Jordanian military flat out invades Iraq via land, doing combat with government forces and pushing deep into the Al-Anbar province. However, the Jordanians are quickly bogged down due to supply issues and communications problems. With the Iraqi government on the defensive, military advances are currently shut down
- In order to take attention away from the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, PLO sympathisers and Palestinian refugees are encouraged to sign up for the war in Iraq, with the king stating “Iraq turned its back on you, and now it is time to strike!”
- Jordanian citizens also answer the call of duty, and huge numbers of infantry battalions march to assist the push into Iraq
- After making a deal with American military technology investors, the Jordanian government purchases large numbers of computers. These massive and unwieldy machines are set up in Amman, and manned by foreign operators. However, the Jordanian government takes note, and begins to copy the machines for themselves
- Desalination projects crop up along the west coast of Jordan, facing the salty Dead Sea, in order to create fresh drinking water for the growing country. This, unfortunately, aids in the growing of tensions between Jordan and Israel

Because I was one of the few places to not invade Iraq, a few people have suggested I host the conference on the treaty dealing with peace there due to my neutrality. I'm up for that myself, unless anybody else sees themselves as better suited to this.
