Sultanate of Oman

 * Government:
 * Sultan: Qaboos bin Said
 * Population: 1,431,000
 * Act 2:1 - Further Constitutional Reforms: The Sultan has had absolute power ever since his ascension to the throne. That is about to change. The Sultan declares an increase in the powers of the lower house of the parliament, lowering the powers of the unelected upper house of the parliament, and allowing women to vote. The reform keeps down more extremist parts of the populous who desire a more socialistic attutude, while still keeping the sultan in place for the monarchists. The only issue at this moment is the increase in anger of conservative extremists who disagree with the change to women voting.
 * Act 2:2 - The Propogation of State Thought Act: The populace needs convincing. Their beliefs are not in the interest of the state. It would be wise to spread the thought of state officials to the people, hoping they will subscribe to our beliefs for the benefit of national security.
 * Act 2:3 - Sponsored Education Act: The most important need of a nation is the educated masses, useful tools for production and industry. Hence, to kickstart our own industry, especially in the military sector. To get more educated people in our system, we pay for travel and education of the best students in the Sultanate to places like the United Kingdom. We should reap the benefits in a few years. However, for quicker results, we invite foreign professors to Oman, with obvious good pay, just to get the education up a bit.
 * Act 2:4 - South Yemen Act: We increase the severity of the rhetoric against South Yemen. We exclaim that they are leading tribal unions into ruin and that the people are suffering under their rule. Tribal Forces are given arms and pushed to start a rebellion against the central government.
 * The Sultan's Armed Forces (SAF):
 * The Sultan's Ground Forces (SGF):
 * Tanks: 36
 * Armoured Personnel Carriers: 108

 * Fast Attack Craft: 2
 * Active Personnel: 3,500
 * Reserve Personnel: 1,000

 * Light Transport: 12
 * Heavy Transport: 3

 * Light Helicopter Transports: 4
 * Fast Craft: 2
 * Active Personnel: 200
 * Military / Political Operations:
 * Operation Coffee (South Yemen):
 * ​​​​​​​Inserting Special Forces: The SSF are to insert themselves into the territory bordering ours in South Yemen, meeting with tribal leaders to discuss a rebellion against the central government (In OTL, a civil war happens in South Yemen in a few years, starting to simmer from these times). Supporting tribes are supplied with weaponry and guaranteed support.
 * Capturing the air superiority: Air bases that were started in the last year are now being completed near the border. Our key to victory in the battle to come is propeller aircraft. The Special Forces, in certain helping tribal areas, are preparing clear ground for prop landing. Jet aircraft can't land or take off from these areas, they need to be developed first. Small facilities are also built at these tribal air bases, to fuel and repair prop planes.
 * Intelligence: Special Forces, pretending to be bussinessmen, are sent to map out Aden for our operation. They are looking out for government buildings, residential buildings, and air defence weaponry in or around the city. While our special forces are trained by the SAS and are capable, they are not spies. They aren't sent to check out obvious buildings and military installations, remaining within the confines of Aden. The rest is done based on previously known military installations and commercial aircraft flights.
 * Naval preperation: Our navy, as strong as it may be, are not the heavy, gun touting navy that the Americans or Russians have. The ships are to provide supplementary bombardement, to knock out the air force of South Yemen as soon as war breaks out. The ships are on duty to attack the Aden airport, knocking out the runway and potentially hitting the hangar. The South Yemenis are not known to have much of a navy. The corvettes are to attack the airport, while patrol ships are to maintain a naval blockade on Aden and inflict small damage. Plans are drawn out and prepared in case of war.
 * Preparation of the Ground Forces: The ground forces are training in the deserts of Dhofar, getting accustomed to the conditions in the desert. The invasion plans are to attack from the south towards Al-Ghaydah, where they are supplied from the sea. Helicopter transports are to transport small groups of troops across the east of South Yemen. Thamud and Rumah are targets for this action. Tribal forces would hopefully have joined in at Thamud and Rumah by that point. This should knock out much of their built up areas in the east, and give us access to the road to many other built up areas.
 * Operation Baghdad:
 * ​​​​​​​Pushing for an intervention: We inform GCC members (Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, UAE) to eye up an intervention in Iraq. The Gokturks have an expansionist agenda and could become a threat. An idea is to "liberate" Basra and the areas around it as a new nation in the GCC if need be. Iran is contacted as well. The situation in Iraq is concerning and would probably require Iranian intervention.
 * Economy: Based upon trade of crude oil, dates and other fruits, Metals such as Aluminium and other equipment. Barely any development has taken place, all the plans in the acts will take many years to complete. The economy is balanced by the increasing focus on militaristic and social reforms and the increased oil prices due to the collapse of the soviet union.
 * Diplomacy:
 * GCC: We inform the GCC of our plans with South Yemen and ask if they could provide support in any way (Financial support is good, Air support is appreciated, Naval support even more, Troop supports are the best case scenario) Also, read "Operation Baghdad"
 * Iran: Read "Operation Baghdad"
 * South Yemen: Read "Operation Coffee"
 * Britain: May we buy new aircraft, specifically the Tornado Fighter Jets, 12 to be specific, with full armament support and equipment, and by when would they be all delivered?
 * US (or McDonnell Douglas): May we buy 6 of your F/A-18 Hornets, and when will they be delivered?
 * France: We hope to commission for 2 new destroyers for our fleet, and when will they be prepared?
