Kingdom of the Atlas

The Gherensi Caliphate (غرانسي الخلافة) (GC) is a North African nation spreading its influence across the Medittareanian Sea. GC is also the official nation of TheCreator901.

Tribal Era 10561 BC - 9384BC
During 7000 BC, a berber tribe called the Beni Salom (BS) where thriving in the Sahara Desert living of the land. BS where very succesfull and managed to outlast many other tribes. Despite, this, BS was very weak compared to the short living tribes that surrounded BS and the chance of being wiped out was very high. At 5:23 PM on 2 December 6384 BC, a hunter gatherer called Air Medittareanium spotted a large force of a rival tribe heading towards BS. After being notified about this threat, the tribe's chief ordered that the next day a massive migration will take place to the south towards modern day Nigeria.

The Great Migration 9384 BC - 9377 BC
In the mist of the night BS was ambushed by the attackers causing mass panic among the tribe. Many men immediatly fought the attackers giving the women, children and others the chance to escape. However, due to the panic, the tribe moved north instead of south. Of the 127 people who lived in the tribe, only 62 survived the attack and migration. The tribe carried on with their migration north settling down in several areas. Few months in, few people reaised they had went the wrong way. Many of the tribesmen didn't nknow what was inthe north so they broke of and travelled south. Unfortunately for them, they where all killed on their journey. After 7 years the tribe reached irl Algeirs. Due to the land, the tribes men where ableto grow crops and grow crops they did. The first city in the world was then founded in the year 9377 BC. This city was called Beni Salom after the tribe. The Medittareanian Sea was namedafter the tribe's savior Air Medittarianium.

The 6 day Civil War
After settling down, the city's dictator demanded Medittareanium's execution as he was worried that he will revolt against the government due to his popularity. As this news leaked into the streets, half of the population revolted, In 6 days the rebels won executing the dictator and establishing Medittareanium as the new dictator. To remove traces of the old government, Beni Salom was renamed to Medittarean (The main district though was called Beni Salom to preserve the people's tribal history). The people saw Medittareanium as a godly figure and started worshipping him after his death. The religion was called Medittareanism and was very similiar to modern day Islam, Judaism and Christianity.

The Migrant Crisis 5527 BC - 5509 BC
As the Black Sea Region floods, some refugees hear about a rumored Godly nation called Medittariania. Some refugees make it to Medittariania. At first the refugees where pushed out with some of the refugees settling down few kilometres away from Medittarean. After hundreds of years these two cities merged like Buda and Pest in Hungary. However, few refugees travelled back to the Middle East spreading news about this 'Mythical nation'. Soon many migrants travelled on what is called the 'Mythic Route'. Medittareanian citizens fought with the migrants but soon knowing that there was no point fighting gave up and let the migrants stay. This lead to major growth with many towns popping up. Medittareania soon became highly diverse leading to advancements in science, culture and thinking. Many historians today argue that it would have taken Medittareania longer to develop if the migrant crisis never happened.

Colonial Expansions 4503 BC - 4219 BC
As the Sahara Desert became a lush land with fertile land, many important and powerful figures left Medittareania to found colonies in the Sahara. These colonies provided Medittareania with many produts and large amounts of wealth. Poor farmers and slaves escaped to the colonies to set up their own. Before long half of the population had set up colonies. Many new animals such as elephants where taken to Medittareania where they where kept. However, this wasn't for ever. Soon the desert started claiming land and many colonies collapsed with rich men suddenly becoming some of the poorest in the nation. By 4219 BC, the last colony still around (Nova Medittariania) collapsed. Rulers in the colonies escaped to the north back to Medittareania bringing all their riches with them. The nation then fell into a 3 year depression.

Migration to Europe 4156 BC - 4095 BC
As life in Medittariania worsned, many citizens traveled to Sicily. From Sicily to moved through Italy spreading into North West Iberia, the Balkans and Germany. Today 5%-10% of Germans have Medittareanian genes. To stop the migration, Medittareania occupied Sicily and Southern Italy. In 4095 BC, the migration stopped and 2 years later, Medittareania stopped their occupation of South Italy and Sicily.

Arrival of Numerals 3784 BC
In 3784 BC, a miner wanting to note down is gains in the mines, created a numeral system similair to the Ttally Table. As a member of the government asked what his lines where, the miner talked about his numeral system and what it was used for. Immediatly, the nation's government began using numerals in nearly all aspects of administration. Again major advancements where made and Mathmatics became a respected subject. Around this time more private land was being owned and an actual military was built up replacing militias.

The Drought 3522 BC - 3487 BC
A drought began in Medittareania causing mass amounts of people to migrate to the Nile. The government expanded its territory owning the Eastern coast of Libya. The capital was moved to Malva which was founded in irl Benghazi. In 3498 BC, a plague killed of all of the population in the Libyan land. Few people immune to the illness escaped to the mainland. After many years, everyone was immune to the illness.

Arrival of the Alphabet 3009 BC
In 3010 BC the numeral system of lines was revolutionized when a new numeral system was created which included other shapes. 1 year later, an alphabet was created inspired by the new numeral system. It was surprisingly similiar to Hebrew, Latin and Greek. Once again major advances where made and literature also became a respected subject.

Egyptian Migrants 2138 BC - 1994 BC
As unrest rose up in Egypt, many refugees escape along the north african coast stopping in the ghost towns in East Libya by Medittareania. After few weeks though, rumours spread that these cities are abandoned due to a group of barbarians called the Rouge Men. Immediatly, the refugees carry on travelling west to Medittareania. These refugees where accepted into the nation but many unskilled refugees where left homeless and died due to the plague that they weren't immune to.

Medittareanian - Babylonian War 1800 BC - 1798 BC
Hammurabi believing Medittareania was his only obstacle to world domination declare war upon Medittareania sending a massive navy to bombarde Medittareanian coasts

Medittareanian - Punic Wars 279 BC - 264 BC
By 300 BC, Medittareania had contol of the whole of irl Algeria's coast and was a major power trading with nations such as the Greeks and Egyptians and remained relativly peacefully only attacking barbarians. However in 281 BC, tensions between Carthage and Medittareania had risen to the point where war was inevitable. Twos years later all out war was declared. Medittareanian ships where sent into the sea empty delaying the attack of Medittarenian cities by Carthage's superior navy. In 8 months Medittareania was suffering from Carthaginian blockades but the siege of Carthage had begun. A Medittarian pirate (his name is unknown but is nicknamed Barbarossa) tricked the city of Carthage into thinking he was a Carthaginian coming back to the harbor to repair his ship. Once entering the city, Barbarossa mae a break in the defense force letting in waves of Medittareanian troops. In 3 days, Carthage was captured with as little damage done as possible. Carthage soon lost their oversea territories to European barbarians. Carthage surrendered and was annexed by Medittareania.

Medittareanian - Roman Wars 253 BC - 237 BC
Rome saw an flaw in Medittareania's military as they where trying to push back Numidians and Mauritanians to their south so they invaded Medittareania's Libyan coast. Medittareania wasn't worried though and let the Roman troops advance in the east. Meanwhile, the Numidians and Mauritanoans lost their battle against Medittareania and was exiled to the West Moroccon Coast. In 250 BC, Medittareania asked for peace. Rome accepted taking the Libyan Coast. Immediatly, the Medittareanian military was being improved and every city with over 10,000 citizens had walls erected. In 242 BC, Medittareania invaded Roman Africa occupying the land in just 3 days. Meanwhile, the Medittareanian navy blockaded the Roman mainland. The troops in Libya where then transported to southern Italy. Sicily and Corsica surrender and where annexed by Medittareania. The troops in South Italy advanced at slow speeds. Rome bribed Celtic tribes to help fight for Rome. After 5 years Rome was fully occupied with many Celts killed. Rome surrendered to the Medittareanians. The peace treaty resulted in Medittareania gaining Sicily, The Baeleric Islands, Corsica, Malta and Sardinia.

In the year 4532BC the nation of Medittareania was founded and had control over the North African coast by 700AD. The nation and the Islamic Empire were at war for many years and Medittareania eventually gave up to the muslims and converted to Islam but managed to keep their land. The first caliph (Amine Gherensi) ruled the nation from 716AD to 764AD-The nation was renamed and became The Gherensi Caliphate after his election. The only other caliphs to rule the nation with the same name were Amine Gherensi II, Amine Gherensi III and Amine Gherensi IV (current ruler). However the chances of this happening is very low as each caliph is elected depending on how well they are at ruling a nation and their piety. Despite being named after the Gherensi family, other families had ruled the nation. The nation expanded into Iberia and France but soon lost their European holdings to rebels. The Gherensi Caliphate joined the colonization of the new world late but invaded France, Spain and Portugal to gain their colonies and their homeland. For many years GC stayed peaceful except a few skirmishes. In the scramble for Africa, GC expanded all the way south of the Sahara Desert. The land GC gained from the scramble of Africa gained independence in the 1980s and 1990s. In WW1 GC allied the allies and annexed most of the Ottomans' land and some of Austria-Hungary. However in WW2, GC allied the Axis and annexed around the whole of the Balkans and Italy after Italy joined the Allies. In the Cold War GC was on their own side and annexed Switerland and a minute amount of South German land.
