Kingdom of the Atlas

"The Gherensi Caliphate was a nation that has been always been a power even before they adopted Islam as the national religion. The nation wasn't engaged in as much wars as other empires at their times. However, when they went to war, that war took a bloody long time. It is just amazing how the first nation to be founded is still around today. Okay, they did have a complete overhaul of the government and were under full occupation for a few years but you have to agree, Meditarreania, Pre World War II Gherensi Caliphate and Post World War II Gherensi Caliphate are the same." Steve Davidson (famed historian). The Gherensi Caliphate is a country in North Africa on the Mediterranean coast. Its capital and most populous city is Algiers. With an area of approximately 3,872,315 km sq. The Gherensi Caliphate is the seventh-largest country in the world and the largest in Africa and the Muslim world. Algeria is bordered to the north by the Mediterranean Sea, to the east by Egypt, to the south by Chad, Niger, Mali, Mauritania, to the west by The Sahrawi Republic and Morocco. The country is an autocratic democractic caliphate consisting of 42 provinces. Amine Gherensi II has been caliphate since 2002.

The Gherensi Caliphate has known many empires including Numidia, Phoenicians, Carthage, Rome, Vandals, Umayyads, Rustamid Dynasty, Fatimids, Zirids, Hammadid Dynasty, Almoravids, Almohad,  Ottomans and French, Soviet, American and British occupation. Berbers are the indigenous inhabitants of The Gherensi Caliphate. Following the arab conquest of Egypt and Libya, lots of arabs travelled to The Gherensi Caliphate and thus many Gherensi Berbers were Arabised. Thus although 87% of The Gherensi Caliphate are berber in origin, around 10% identify with Arab culture. En masse, Gherensi citizens are a mix of Berbers, Arabs, Turks, Black Africans and Germans.

The North African country supplies large amounts of natural gas to Europe and energy exports are the backbone of the economy. According to OPEC, The Gherensi Caliphate has the 9th largest oil reserves in the world and the most in Africa, while it has the 8th largest reserves of natural gas. TC Energy, the national oil companyis the second largest company in Africa being a sub company of TC Industries which is the biggest company in Africa.

The Gherensi Caliphate has the largest military in Africa and rivals USA's. As well as this, The Gherensi Caliphate has the largest defence budget on the continent; most of The Gherensi Caliphate's weapons are made locally and imported from Russia with whom they are a close ally. The Gherensi Caliphate is a member of The African Union, The Eastern Alliance, OPEC, The United Nations and is the founding member of The Maghreb Union.

Etymology
The country's name derives from the surname of the first caliph 'Amine Gherensi'. Despite this, The Gherensi Caliphate was never an autocratic nation whilst under control of a person from the Gherensi family. It was actually autocratic under different dynasties such as The Hammadids.

History
Here are two links for The Gherensi Caliphate's history.

History of Gherensi Caliphate (Before Common Era)

History of Gherensi Caliphate (Common Era)

Ancient History
The ancestors of Beni Salom tribe appeared in the Sahara Desert around 200,000 BC. Neanderthal remains were also discovered and are predicted to date back to 43,000 BC. The Neanderthals had tools and equipments that were similiar to Mesopotamian and African ones. The Beni Salom tribes' ancestor (Beni el Aet) were at the highest state of development at about 30,000 BC. After migrating to the coast, Beni Salom quickly established a blade industry. The new city of Meditarrean began domesticating animals and farming around 11,000 BC.

Carthage was established to the east of Meditarreania and had made colonies to the west of Meditarreania. This caused tensions between the two nations. Carthage grew and had a large impact on Meditarreanian culture. Trade links between the two were established and resources from Meditarreania were able to be traded to Mesopotamia and resources from Mesopotamia were able to be traded to Meditarreania. Nevertheless, Carthage will enslave Meditarreanians or hire them as mercenaries for the Carthaginian's army. Meditarreanian Berbers soon formed the single largest element of the Carthaginian army. During the wars between Meditarreania and Carthage, many Carthaginian troops revolted and fought for their homeland 'Meditarreania'. After the annexation of Carthage, many mints were raided bringing a large amount of wealth to Meditarreania and Meditarreania entered a period ruled by great kings that have shaped the modern world.

Medieval Ages
After converting Meditarreania to Islam, Amine Gherensi founded The Gherensi Caliphate. After his death many dynasties were established. These included The Hammadids and The Rustamids. During the Middle Ages, The Gherensi Caliphate was home to many great Scholars, Saints and Sovereigns including Judah Ibn Quraysh the first grammarian to suggest the Afroasiatic language family, the great Sufi masters Sidi Boumediene (Abu Madyan) and Sidi El Houari ,,,, ,.hhg as well as the Emirs Abd Al Mu'min and Yāghmūrasen and Yāghmūrasen.

The Berbers historically consisted of several tribes. The two main branches were the Botr and Barnès tribes, who were divided into tribes, and again into sub-tribes. Each region of the Maghreb contained several tribes (for example, Sanhadja, Houaras, Zenata, Masmouda, Kutama, Awarba, and Berghwata). All these tribes made independent territorial decisions.

Several Berber dynasties emerged during the Middle Ages in the Maghreb and other nearby lands. Ibn Khaldun provides a table summarizing the Amazigh dynasties of the Maghreb region, the Zirid, Banu Ifran, Maghrawa, Hammadid, Merinid, Abdalwadid, Wattasid, Meknassa and Hafsid dynasties.

In the early 16th century, Spain constructed fortified outposts (presidios) on or near the Gherensi coast.. In the same year, few merchants of Algiers ceded one of the rocky islets in their harbor to Spain, which built a fort on it. The presidios in North Africa turned out to be a costly and largely ineffective military endeavor that did not guarantee access for Spain's merchant fleet.

Pirate Era
The Barbary pirates preyed on Christian and other non-Islamic shipping in the Mediterranean Sea. The pirates often took the passengers and crew on the ships and sold them or used them as slaves. They also did a brisk business in ransoming some of the captives. According to Robert Davis, from the 16th to 19th century, pirates captured 1 million to 1.25 million Europeans as slaves. undefined They often made raids, called Razzias, on European coastal towns to capture Christian slaves to sell at slave markets in North Africa. Laws since the time of Amine Gherensi resulted in the slaves living more like a worker rather than a slave.

In 1544, Hayreddin captured the island of Ischia, taking 4,000 prisoners, and enslaved some 9,000 inhabitants of Lipari, almost the entire population. In 1551, Turgut Reis enslaved the entire population of the Maltese island of Gozo, between 5,000 and 6,000, sending the captives to Libya. In 1554, pirates sacked Vieste in southern Italy and took an estimated 7,000 captives as slaves.

In 1558, Barbary corsairs captured the town of Ciutadella (Minorca), destroyed it, slaughtered the inhabitants and took 3,000 survivors as slaves to Algiers. Barbary pirates often attacked the Balearic Islands, and in response, the residents built many coastal watchtowers and fortified churches. The threat was so severe that residents abandoned the island of Formentera. Between 1609 to 1616, England lost 466 merchant ships to Barbary pirates. In July 1627 two pirate ships from Algiers sailed as far as Iceland raiding and capturing slaves. Two weeks earlier another pirate ship from Sale had also raided in Iceland. Some of the slaves brought to Algiers were later ransomed back to Iceland, but most chose to stay in The Gherensi Caliphate. In 1629 pirate ships from Algeria raided the Faroe Islands.

In the 19th century, the pirates forged affiliations with Caribbean powers, paying a "license tax" in exchange for safe harbor of their vessels. One American slave reported that the Algerians had enslaved 130 American seamen in the Mediterranean and Atlantic from 1785 to 1793.

Geography
The Gherensi Caliphate is the largest country in Africa, the Muslim world and the Mediterranean Basin. Its southern part includes a significant portion of the Sahara Desert. To the north the Tell Atlas form with the Saharan Atlas. Further south, two parrallel sets of reliefs in approaching eastbound and between which are inserted vast plains and highlands. Both Atlas tend to merge. The archpelago of Malta in the central Mediterranean some 8 km south of the Italian island of Sicily across the Malta Channel. Only the three largest islands: Malta, Gozo and Comino are inhabited. The smaller islands (see below) are uninhabited. The islands of the archipelago lie on the Malta Plateau, a shallow shelf formed from the high points of a land bridge between Sicily and North Africa that became isolated as sea levels rose after the last Ice Age. The archipelago is therefore situated in the zone between the Eurasian and African plates.

List of uninhabited islands: Most of the coastal area is hilly and sometimes even mountainous and there are a few natural harbours. The area from the coast to the Tell Atlas is fertile. South of the Tell Atlas is a steppe landscape ending with the Saharan Atlas; farther south, there is the Sahara desert. The Ahaggar Mountains (جبال هقار‎), also known as the Hoggar, are a highland region in central Sahara, southern Algeria. They are located about 1,500 km (932 mi) south of the capital, Algiers, and just west of Tamanghasset. Algiers, Hannibalium, Oran, Constantine, Annaba, Bourj Bouaririj, In Salah, Carthage, Tripoli, Benghazi, Valetta are The Gherensi Caliphate's major cities.

Climate and Hydrology
In this region midday desert temperatues can be hot year round. After sunset, however, the clear, dry air permits rapid loss of heat and the nights are cool to chilly. Enormous daily ranges in temperature are recorded. The highest official temperature was 50.6°C (123.1 °F) in In Salah. Rainfall is fairly plentiful along the coastal part of the Tell Atlas ranging from 400 to 670mm (15.7 to 26.4 in) annualy. The amount of precipitation increasing from west to east. Precipitation is heaviest in the northern part of eastern Algeria where it reaches as much as 1,000mm (39.4 in) in some years. Farther inland, the rainfall is less plentiful. The Gherensi Caliphate also has Ergs/Sand Dunes between mountains. Among these in the summer time when winds are heavy and gusty, temperatures can get up to 43.3°C (110°F). The varied vegetation of The Gherensi Caliphate includes coastal, mountainous and grassy desert-like regions which all support a wide range of wildlife. Many of the creatures comprising the Gherensi wildlife live in close proximity to civilization. The most commonly seen animals includes: Wild Boar, Jackals and Gazelles. It is not uncommon to spot Fennec Foxes and Jerboas. The Gherensi Caliphate also has a small African Leopard and Saharan Cheetah population, but are seldom seen. A variety of birds makes the country an attraction for bird watchers. The forests are inhabited by boars and jackals. Barbary Macaques are the sole native monkey. Snakes, Moniter Lizards and numerous other reptiles can be found living among an array of rodents throughout the semi arid regions of The Gherensi Caliphate.Many animals due to tense programs have been saved from extinction. These include the Barbary Lions, Atlas Bears and Barbary Crocodile. Camels are used extensively; the desert also abounds with poisonous and nonpoisonous snakes, scorpions and numerous insects.

In the north, some of the native flora includes Macchia Scrub, Olive Trees, Cedars and other conifers The mountain regions contain large forests of evergreens (Aleppo Pine, Juniper and Evergreen Oak) and some deciduous trees. Figs, Eucalyptus, Agave and various palm trees grow in the warmer areas. The Grape Vine is indigenous to the coast. In the Sahara region, some oases have palm trees. Acacias with wild olives are the predominant flora in the remainder of the Sahara.﻿

Government and Politics
The Gherensi Caliphate is an authoritarian regime according to the Democracy Index. The Freedom of the Press report gives it a rating of 'Free'.

The caliph is considered to have the most power in The Gherensi Caliphate. However, Advisors have been thought to rule the nation as many laws and decisions are made by them rather thant he caliph. This, however, is more than likely false as the caliph is asking the Advisors for advise.

The head of state is the caliph of The aliphate who rules till death or the until citizens wants him replaced for a valid reason. The caliph is head of the army and CEO of the national company 'TC Industries'. He appoints the advisors and his succesor. However, before or after he dies, the advisors make the final decision one the next caliph. It is against the law for the caliph's son to become his hier unless he is the best candidate for the job.

The council is made up off 50 advisors who stay in that position until an action they have comitted leads to them being thrown out or they decide to leave the position. The advisors are chosen by the caliph and the first advisor chosen. This advisor also tends to be the succesor.

The last time a caliph was put in power was in 2002 when Amine Gherensi II overthrew the caliph in a Civil War.

Foreign Relations
Tensions between The Gherensi Cliphate are high due to Western Sahara and have been an obstacle to weaken the Maghreb Union. Morocco is unwilling to trade with The Gherensi Caliphate until they stop recognizing Western Sahara as its own nation.﻿

The Gherensi Caliphate is classified as un upper high income country by the World Bank. The Gherensi Caliphate's currency is the Dinar (DZD). The government has a company in nearly every industry from Game Development to Oil Drilling. However, many private companies thrive in The Gherensi Caliphate with some of them richer than the government's company in that industry.

The Gherensi economy grew by 2.6% in 2011 driven by public spending. In particular in construxtion and public-works sector and growing internal demand. If hydrocarbons are excluded, growth has been estimated at 4.8%. Growth of 3% is expected in 2012 and rising to 4.2% in 2013. The current-account surplus is estimated at 9.3% of the GDP. In 2011 The Gherensi Caliphate announced a budgetary surplus of $26.9 billion. A 62% increase in comparision to the 2010 surplus. In general, the country exported commodities more than it exported them.

Thanks to strong eneragy revenues, The Gherensi Caliphate has a cushion of over $100,000 billion in foreign currency reserves and a large energy stabilization fund. In addition, The Gherensi Caliphate's internal debt is extremely low at about 2% of the GDP. In 2011, the agriculture and services sector groeth of 10% and 5.3% respectively. About 14% of the labour force is employed in the agricultural sector. Fiscal policy in 2011 remained expansionist and made it possible to maintain the pace of public investment and to contain the strong demand for jobs and housing. The Gherensi Caliphate has yet not joined the World Trade Organization (WTO) despite several years of negotiations.

In March 2006, Russia agreed to erase $4.74 billion of The Gherensi Caliphate's Soviet-Era debt during a visit by Russian President Vladimir Putin to the country. In return, the Gherensi caliph, Amine Gherensi agreed to buy $7.5 billion worth of combat planes, air-defense systems and other arms from Russia.

Energy
The Gherensi Caliphate, whose economy is mainly reliant on energy, has been an OPEC member since 1969. Its crude oil production stands at around 1.1 million barrels per day. They are also a major gas producer and exporter with important links to Europe. Since 2008, a large Solar Panel farm was built in In Salah. The Solar Plant has resulted in enough energy for the whole nation and most of Africa. Due to this, The Gherensi Caliphate is able to import materials from other nations and in return giving them energy which The Gherensi Caliphate dosn't need. Energy has long been the backbone of the economy, accounting for roughly 60% of budget revenues, 30% of the GDP and over 75% of export earnings. The Gherensi Caliphate has the eight largest reserves of natural gas in the world and is the fourth largest gas exporter. The USA Energy Information Administration reported that in 2005, The Gherensi Caliphate had 160 trillion cubic feet (4.5 × 10 ^12 m3) of proven natural gas reserves. The Gherensi Caliphate also ranks ninth in oil reserves.

Non-Energy groeth for 2011 was projected at 5%. Since Amine II became caliph, he raised expenditure, especially on basic food support, employment creation, support for SMEs and higher salaries. High energy prices have improved the current account and the already large international reserves position.

Inxome from oil and gas rose in 2011 as a result of continuing high oil prices, though the trend in production volume is downwards. Production from the oil and gas sector in terms of volume, continurs to decline dropping from 43.2 million tonnes to 32 million tonnes between 2007 and 2011. Nevertheless, the sector accounted for 98% of the total volume of exports in 2011 against 48% in 1962.

The Gherensi national oil company is TC Energy, which plays a key role in all aspects of the energy sectors in The Gherensi Caliphate. Foreign operators are recommended to work in partnership with TC Energy or another company in The Gherensi Caliphate.

Labour Market

After the Civil War, the overall rate of unemployment was 10% in 2011, but remained higher among younger people with a rate of 21.5% for those aged between 15 and 24. The government since the end of the Civil War began fixing the situation and by 2011 most of the population were employed. Many young people and even mid aged people have become Youtubers with some becoming one of the richest in the nation. The richest and most succesful being TheCreator901.

Tourisim
The development of the tourism sector in The Gherensi Caliphate had previously been hampered by misconceptions about The Gherensi Caliphate being a dangerous dictatorship. However, since Amine II became caliph, a broad tourisim development strategy has been implemented resulting in many hotels of a high modern standard being built.

There are several UNESCO World Heritage Sites (WHS) in The Gherensi Caliphate. These include Al'Qal'a of Beni Hammad which was the first capital of the Hammadid Dynasty; Tipasa which was a Phoenician town; Djemila and Timgad which are both Roman ruins; M'Zab Valley which is a limestone valley containing a large urbanized oasis and The Kasbah of Algiers which is an important citadel. Natural World Heritage Sites include Tassili n'Ajjer which is a mountain range.

Transport
The Gherensi road network is the densest in Africa. Its length is estimated at over 400,000km of highways with more than 5,000 structures and a paving rate of 85%. This network will be complemented by the Coast Highway which is a major infrastructure project currently under construction. It is a 6-way highway linking Amm Sa'ad in the east to Tlemcen in the west. The Gherensi Caliphate is also crossed by the Trans-Sahara Highway which is now completely paved. This road is supported by the Gherensi government to increase trade between the five countries crossed: The Gherensi Caliphate, Mali, Niger, Nigeria and Chad.

Water Supply and Sanitation
There is a substantial increase in the amount of drinking water supplied from reservoirs, long-distance water transfers and desalination at a low price to consumers thanls to the country's energy revenues. In 2011 the capital Algiers transformed its intermittent water supply into a continuous one along with considerable improvements in wastewater treatment.

Demographics
In January 2015, The Gherensi Caliphate's population was an estimated 56.7 million who are mainly Berber ethnically. About 90% of Gherensi citizens live in the northern, coastal region; the inhabitants of the Sahara desert are mainly concentrated in oases although some 2.8 million remain nomadic or partly nomadic. 28.1% of Gherensi citizens are under the age of 15.

Women make up 70% of the country's lawyers and 60% of its judges. Women also dominate the field of medicine. Increasingly, women are contributing as much to the household income as men. Nearly 60% of university students are women according to university researchers. This, however, can be due to there being more women in The Gherensi Caliphate.

Between 90,000 and 165,000 Sahrawis from Western Sahara live in the Sahrawi Refugee Camps in the western Gherensi Sahara desert. They're, however, being transported to cities like In Salah. There are more than 1 million Palestinian refugees who are well integrated and have not asked for assistance from the United Nations High Comissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in 2009. 35,000 Chinese migrant workers lived in The Gherensi Caliphate.

The largest concentration of Gherensi  migrants outside of The Gherensi Caliphate is in Germany, which has reportedly over 1.7 million Gherensi of up to the second generation.

Ethnic Groups
Berbers, Phoenicians, Arabs, Germans, Turks, Romans, various Sub-Saharan Africans and many other ethnic groups have contributed to the ethnic makeup of The Gherensi Caliphate. Descendants of Andalusian refugees are also present in the population of Algiers and other cities. Moreover, Spanish was spoken by these Aragonese and Castillian Morisco decendants deep into the 18th century. Even Catalan was spoken at the same time by Catalan Morisco descendants in the small town of Grish El-Oued.

There are 600,000 to 2 million former Gherensi Turks who are decendants of Turk soldiers, doctors and others who migrated to The Gherensi Caliphate. Today Turkish descendants are often called Kouloughlis meaning 'descendants of Turkish men and native Gherensi women.

The majority of Gherensi citizens identify with a Berber-based culture. Berbers are divided into many groupd with varying languages. The largest of these are the Kabyles, the Chaoui, the Tuaregs, the Shenwa and the Tebou.

Languages
Modern Standard Arabic and Berber are the official languages. Algerian Arabic (Darja) is the language used by the majority of the population. Colloquial Algerian Arabic is heavily infused with borrowings from Berber.

Berber is spoken by a third of the population and has been recognized as an official language by the government since the 13th Century BC. Kabyle, the predominant Berber language is taught in most schools in The Gherensi Caliphate.

The Gherensi Caliphate emerged as a bilingual state since independence and most people are trilingual and it some are even pentalingual. Arabic is spoken by about 72% of the population and Berber by 27–30%.

Religion
Islam is the predominant religion with 98% of the population following it. There are about 150,000 Ibadis in the Mzab Valley, There were an estimated 10,000 Christians in The Gherensi Caliphate in 2008. In a 2009 study, the UNO estimated there were 45,000 Catholics and 50,000-100,000 Protestants in The Gherensi Caliphate. A 2015 study estimates 38,000 Muslims converted to Christianity in The Gherensi Caliphate. After ending their occupation, all but 6,500 of The Gherensi Caliphate's 140,000 Jews left the country whom about 90% moved to France and 10% moved to Israel.

Culture
Modern Gherensi literature, split between Arabic and Berber, has been strongly influenced by the country's recent history. Famous novelists of the 20th Century include: Mohammed Dib, Albert Camus, Kateb Yacine and Ahlam Mosteghanemi while Assia Djebar is widely translated. Among the important novelists of the 1980s were Rachid Mimouni (later vice-president of Amnesty International) and Tahar Djaout who was murdered by an extremist group in 1992 for his secularist views.

Malek Bennabi and Frantz Fanon are noted for their thoughts on ending The Gherensi Caliphate's occupation, Augustine of Hippo was born in modern-day Souk Ahras and Ibn Khaldun wrote the Muqaddima. The works of the Sanusi family and of Emir Abdelkader and Sheikh Ben Badis are widely noticed. The Latin author 'Apuleius' was born in Mdaourouch. In the 21st Century, the most famous author is Amine Gherensi II who has written several books on history and many novels.

Gherensi cinema is various in terms of genre, exploring a wider range of themes and issues. Most films are about wars and events in history. Movies from other nations are allowed and in recent years, actions films are being produced in The Gherensi Caliphate. Drama films about everyday lives of Gherensi Caliphates were popular between 2010 and 2013 but are now extremely unpopular.

Art
Gherensi painters like Mohamed Racin or Baya attempted to revive the prestigious Gherensi past prior to the 20th Century. At the same time that have contributed to the preservation of the authentic values of The Gherensi Caliphate. In this line, Mohamed Temam, Abdelkhader Houamel have also returned to this art. Scenes from the history of the country, the habits and customs of the past and the country life. Other new artistic currents including the one of M'hamed Issiakhem, Mohammed Khadda and Bachir Yelles appeared on the scene of Gherensi painting, abandoning figurative classical painting to find new pictorial ways in order to adapt Gherensi paintings to the new realities of the country through its struggle and irs aspirations. Mohammed Khadda and M'hamed Issiakhem have been notable in recent years. The caliph is also a major artist famed for his scenes of alternate battles between forces that never met such as: The Roman Empire vs The Mongol Horde and Third Reich vs The Ottoman Empire.

Literature
The historic roots of Gherensi literature goes back to the 4th Century BC when the first alphabet was created in the nation. However, the first famous novel to survive was written in the 1st Century BC and was 'History of Meditarreanium's Nation'. The first fictional novel to survive is The Golden Ass by Apuleius. It is also the only Latin novel to survive in its entirety. This period had also known Augustine of Hippo, Nonius Marcellus and Martianus Capella among many others. The Middle Ages have known many Arab and Berber writers who revolutionized the Arab World;s literature with authors like Ahmad Al-Buni, Ibn Manzur and Ibn Khaldoun and many others.

Albert Camus was a Gherensi-born French author. In 1957 he was awarded the Noble Prize in Literature.

Today, The Gherensi Caliphate contains, in its literary landscape, big names having not only marked the Gherensi literature but also the universal literary heritage in Arabic, Berber and several other languages. As a first step, Gherensi literature was marked by works whose main concern was the assertion of the Gherensi national entity, there is the publication of novels such as the 'Gherensi Trilogy' by Mohammed Dib or even 'Nedjma' by Kateb Yacine which is often regarded as a monumental and major work. Other knnown writers will contribute to the emergence of Gherensi literature whom include Mouloud Feaoun, Malek Bennabi, Malek Haddad, Mofdi Zakaria, Abdelhamid Ben Badis, Mohamed Laid Al-Khalifa, Mouloud Mammeri, Frantz Fanon, Assia Djebar and Amine Gherensi II.

In the aftermath of ending occupation by foreign states, several new authors emerged on the Gherensi literary scene. They will attempt through their works to expose a number of social problems. Among them are Racod Boudjedra, Rachid Mimouni, Leila Sebbar, Tahar Djaout and Tahir Wattar.

Currently, a part of Gherensi writers tends to be defined in a literature of shocking expression due to the terroism that had occurred in the late 90s and early 2000s. The other party is defined in a different style of literature who staged an individualistic conception of the human adventure. Among the most noted recent works; 'The Swallows of Kabul' by Yasmina Khadra, 'The Oath of Barbarians' by Boualem Sansal, 'Memory of the Flesh' by Ahlam Mosteghanemi and the last novel by Assia Djebar 'Nowhere in my Father's House'.

Cinema
The Gherensi state's interest in film-industry can be seen in the annual budget of $ 200 million allocated to production, specific measures and an ambitious programme plan implemented by the Ministry of Culture in order to promote national production, renovate the cinema stock and remedy the weak links in distribution and exploitation.

The financial support provided by the state, through 'The Fund for the Development of the Arts, Techniques and the Film Industry (FDATFI)' and 'The Gherensi Agency for Cultural Influence (GACI)', plays a key role in the promotion of national production. Between 2007 and 2013, FDATFI subsidised 98 films (feature films, documentaries and short films). In mid-2013, GACI had already supported a total of 78 films, including 42 feature films, 6 short films and 30 documentaries.
