Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

 *  Government 
 *  The Democratic Kingdom II:  After Khalid Al-Saud's extremely successful 6 year term, he has agreed to step down and let another become Prime Minister. His time in the office was very successful, as he and his brother, King Mohammed bin Salman Al-Saud, established lasting democracy in Saudi Arabia, averting the economic crisis to come around oil. The King chose:
 * Ismaeel al-Qazi: Liberalist - polled at 36%
 * Dhaakir el-Haq: Islamic Fundementalist - polled at 16%
 * Raaji al-Suleiman: Integralist - polled at 3%
 * Haneef al-Farid: Panislamist - polled at 11%
 * Naasiruddeen el-Riaz: Islamic Democrat - polled at 34%
 * This election, the second in Saudi history, is significantly different to the last election. For one, there is no Saudi relative, contrary to what many assumed about the King and his allegiances. Secondly, there are more Islamic-based candidiates than the previous election. The two most popular candidiates are Ismaeel al-Qazi, co-founder of the Liberal Party (with Khalid al-Saud, former Prime Minister); and Naasiruddeen el-Riaz, opposition leader and founder of the Islamic Democratic Party. It is widely believed that these two candidates will advance, as they also have the most seats in the Saudi Parliament.
 *  Saudi General Election: First Round 
 * Ismaeel al-Qazi: 33%
 * Naasiruddeen el-Riaz: 27%
 * Haneef al-Farid: 16%
 * Dhaakir el-Haq: 13%
 * Raaji al-Suleiman: 1%
 * Qazi and Riaz advance to the second round. This was very predictable. However, this was troubling for the Liberal Party, as more people voted for Farid and Haq than previously assumed, and those votes were likely to go to Riaz. This is a tense election, and any outcome will be devastating for the other party.
 *  Saudi General Election: Second Round 
 * Naasiruddeen el-Riaz: 56%
 * Ismaeel al-Qazi: 44%
 * Naasiruddeen el-Riaz became the 2nd Prime Minister of Saudi Arabia. Following his defeat in the first election, Riaz was incredibly happy. The Islamic Democratic Party was still a minority party in Parliament, however, and so the next 3 years would be focused on getting enough seats to become the majority party in Parliament. Currently, they are stuck in a coalition with a number of smaller parties, but Riaz seeks to get rid of these smaller parties and absorb them into his own.
 *  Persian Incursion:  .
 *  Royal Saudi Arabian Armed Forces:  The Royal Saudi Arabian Armed Forces consists of the Royal Saudi Land Forces, the Royal Saudi Air Force, the Royal Saudi Navy, the Royal Saudi Air Defense, and the Royal Saudi Strategic Missile Force.
 *  Personnel:  As the population increases so does the number of those fit for service. There are now 17.8 million Saudi Arabians fit for service. King Mohammed's conscription plan is complete, with many more volunteers coming into the military to become fitter and healthier to improve their chances in the job market. The number of reserves increased to 1,535,000 due to this. There are also 473,000 active personnel.
 *  Gulf Operations:  Gulf Operations are as strong as ever, as co-operation with the Omani Fleet gives the Saudi Fleet great power. With the third Aircraft Carrier under construction, as well as a new Helicopter Carrier and a Destroyer, the Saudi Fleet continues to grow exponentially.
 *  Royal Saudi Land Forces:  The RSLF is the largest branch of the Saudi Arabia Armed Forces. They have 162,000 personnel, 1,962 Combat Tanks, 7,925 Armored Fighting Vehicles, 913 Self-Propelled Artillery, 816 Towed Artillery, and 694 Rocket Projectors.
 *  Royal Saudi Air Force:  The RSAF is the aviation branch of the Saudi Arabia Armed Forces. They have 122,000 personnel, 431 Fighter Aircraft, 471 Attack Aircraft, 356 Transport Aircraft, 367 Trainer Aircraft, and 73 Attack Helicopters.
 *  Royal Saudi Navy:  The RSN is the naval branch of the Saudi Arabia Armed Forces. They have 129,000 personnel, 2 Aircraft Carriers, 1 Helicopter Carrier, 9 Frigates, 3 Destroyers, 9 Corvettes, 61 Patrol Craft, and 7 Mine Warfare Vessels.
