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:  Saudi Arabia is considering intervening. This could be the perfect opportunity to free Iran from its theocratic dictatorship, and place it on the same path that has led Saudi Arabia for the past 7 years. However, problems will arise with Turkey if they decide to save the Iranian dictator.
 *  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.
 *  Diplomacy 
 * United States of America: On behalf of the Arabian Union, Saudi Arabia invites President Paul Ryan to Riyadh to discuss an energy partnership and co-operation in possible future operations.
 * Kurdistan: On behalf of the Arabian Union, Saudi Arabia invites Kurdish leaders to Al-Loloah Al-Sahrah to discuss the Iranian Civil War. ''Particularly an intervention on the side of the republicans, in order to foster the growth of democracy in the Middle East. With a large power such as Iran on our side, our ideology will grow, especially against foreign powers such as Turkey who seek to disrupt this. Give me your answer and we will discuss contingencies.
 * Turkey: On behalf of the Arabian Union, Saudi Arabia officially warns Turkey to stay away from the Iranian Civil War.
 * China: We would like to expand our bases in your territory, in order to further our co-operation. The Arabian Union is grateful for all that has been done.
 * Egypt: You can pretend to be innocent, planning nothing, but I know you are planning an invasion against me. I will be very surprised if you manage to convince the Turks to join your side, especially after your short-term rivalry. That is, before I disbanded your entire alliance. Don't threaten us further, or you will see who is the dominant Middle Eastern power here.
 * East African Community: East Africa, the Arabian Union would like to further relations with you and to help you achieve your long term goal of unification. You estimate that it will take 5 to 10 years, but with Arabian co-operation, this will only take 1 or 2. We will help you establish yourselves as an emerging power on the world stage. Consider our proposal.
 * Israel: I know our relations have been incredibly bad, but Saudi Arabia now has nothing against your people or your government. We would like to start anew, and create new friendships. It is your choice whether you want to be on the right side of history.
 * Federal Government of Somalia: After the collapse of the African Union, you only have the East African Community to help you. The Arabian Union proposes a partnership: The Arabian Union will intervene militarily to defeat the Islamic insurgents, if your government agrees to be temporarily controlled by the Arabian Union in order to create a federation of Somalian states which will bring stability to the region. It is your choice.
 * Republican Coalition of Iran: We will help you, but only on two conditions: you allow us to help you create an Iranian Federation that will bring peace and democracy to your nation; and you join the Arabian Union after the end of the civil war. Every Arabian Union member is equal, and therefore you will get as much representation as anyone else. If you wish to win this war, it would be wise to accept my proposal. If you agree, come to Al-Loloah Al-Sahrah to meet with Arabian Union and Kurdish leaders.
