United Arab Republic

Al Watan Al Akbar
The United Arab Republic (often known as just the UAR) was a sovereign federal republic that spanned across much of the Middle East and North Africa. The UAR was the largest country in Africa and one of the largest in Asia, alongside also being one of the most populated countries on Yata, with a population of nearly 300 million. The UAR bordered Corestias to the west, Sarpistan and the Holy Land to the north, Apothelis, Almadina and Aparty to the east, and Azania, Bornuvia, Saharia and Ellaria to the south. 
The UAR was a fairly young country, only being formed in late 364 by Khat, a Ba'athist nation located in the western edge of the Mashriq. Through launching a war against an opposing state known as Alhayat which held control over much of the Arabian-Peninsula and Fertile-Crescent. Khat won this first "War of Arab Unity", unifying a majority of the Arab Mashriq under them, therefore they declared the formation of the United Arab Republic. Following this victory, the UAR turned west, preparing for war against the Islamic Republic of the Maghreb. This conflict was also very successful, as the UAR had both infiltrated their government, and coordinated with Nilastan to keep Maghreb's allies distracted. Following the UAR's victory in the second "War of Arab Unity", a majority of the Arab Maghreb was also integrated into the UAR. Despite all of this expansion the UAR does not control the entire Arab World, although it controls a majority of it. Following this unification, the UAR aligned itself with Yetia during the Yatan Cold War, only to sign a early peace with Yetia's enemies during the Yetian-Eurasian war. Due to this early peace, the UAR was forced to give up some territories in the southern sections of the Arabian Peninsula, which upon being accompanied by several revolts in the Maghreb, lead to the Ba'athist regime being overthrown by General Muammar el-Sayed - whom reigned as the head of state of the UAR until its fall. Following a series of uprising in its peripheral regions, the UAR investigated on a cause behind this. They claimed that the Eurasian Confederacy was behind their insurgencies, and launched a series of airstrikes into the Confederacy, which ended up not going in their favour, as both the UAR and its ally Alduria were invaded and occupied by the Eurasian Confederacy, and shortly afterwards annexed after a series of referendums.
===Government===
The UAR had a presidential system, where significant executive powers were granted to the president, who acted as both Head of State and Head of Government. The final president wasMuammar al-Sayed, an independent politician who came into power after launching a military coup against his predecessor Aiman al-Safar. Muammar al-Sayed's politics generally included the promotion and further expansion of Pan-Arabism, cooperation with other 'southern world' socialist regimes, and the synthesis of the UAR's two main political factions (The Pan-Arab Socialists and Islamist Democrats). While the UAR was not necessarily very democratic, but it still regularly held free and fair legislative elections.

The UAR itself was a federal republic composed of several subnational states, each with some degree of autonomy. These states were further divided into Counties and Districts. The only area within the country not part of any state was the Special Administrative Region of Mecca, which acted as its own entity under the governance of the clergy due to its religious significance. 
=====Foreign Relations=====
The UAR was one of the 3 leaders of the Rome Cooperation Council, and was thus allied with several of its other members such as Yetia, Imperial Apothelis, Choros and the East African Federation. Other allies included the CIS, which has cooperated with nuclear clean-ups after the Second Khatian-Alhayatian War and Nilastan, who signed a cooperation agreement with the UAR and aided it in its conquest of the Maghreb despite being on opposite sides of the Yatan Cold War. 
The UAR didn't have many full-on enemies, although it had very tense relations with the nations within the Union of Sahel Islamic States due to its conflicts with the USIS's predecessor, the League of Islamic States. Another unfriendly neighbour was Sarpistan, whose irridentist claims overlap with large portions of the UAR's territory.
==States of the UAR==
States were the constituent political entities that together form the UAR, each of them having an autonomous status and their own governments. Despite their limited self-governance, they were subjected to the laws of the federal government of the UAR.
It must be noted that while Mecca had the powers and representation of a State, it is instead a special administrative region separate from all states.
