Urfa

Urfa is a nation that appears in Multi's Alternate History of Europe. It is currently a major power in the Middle East along with Derdor.

First Urfan Empire
Urfa was at first a small city state in southern Turkey and northern Syria. The people of Urfa wanted a big empire, so the king was forced to declare war on Trezbon, Carthage, and the Ayyubids. When the war ended, Urfa had lost most of its land. A few years later, Urfa conquered Kozan, another small nation in Turkey. This would not last, however, as Urfa was soon invaded by the Ayyubids, the world superpower.

The Tyrannical Era
After the occupation, the people of Urfa were imposed many taxes, and there was much discontent among the people. However, missionaries from Tchia got into the city and converted the people to Catholicism. When Vordalkien heard that the people of Urfa were being persecuted, they declared war on the Ayyubids. When the war ended, Urfa found itself under the rule of Vordalkien. However, revolutionaries caused the country to fall apart.

Second Urfan Empire
Urfa and the surrounding lands became independent as a result of the movement, and the army was eager for conquest. Urfa invaded Halay for their old lands back. By this time, the Kingdom of Nejd was the superpower in the Middle East. When Nejd's diplomats threatened invasion, Urfa joined the Medes to defeat Nejd. This war gained Urfa land all the way down to Yemen. However, there were a lot of protests, and Urfa was forced to release some Arab states, but Urfa still managed to retain control over Palestine and Jordan. Then Akker collapsed, and in the last kings will, eastern Iraq was given to Urfa.
