On March 24, 2022, mchdi, thicc_duc, and 99UncleSam joined GeoFacts Earth. They established themselves in Fez, Morocco, and began a private mine. They had started brainstorming a caliphate that they would found in the area which would span Gibraltar and Andalusia.
One day later, tensions started rising with the Saharan States. zDouqie of Suez began advancing towards Fes from Gibraltar at a rapid pace, but then teleported away. Shortly afterwards, Firebll, the Mayor of Gibraltar, started suspecting the three players of wanting to start a war due to the proximity of Fez to Gibraltar. He consistently sent teleport requests and whispers to each player, until asking in the general chat channel why they were “there”.
Realizing the gravity of the situation, the three agreed to go to a less dangerous location and thus migrated to the Hejaz region of Saudi Arabia. Due to the region’s concentration of gold and relatively safe distance from other nations, they decided to base there for a bit. BxrbieGirl, from Cairo, roamed the Northern Arabian peninsula. When asked what he was doing, he said he was “looking for dark brown terracotta.”
Just a day afterwards, two more players joined the cause: _OzBoz_ and _JellyDaFish_. JellyDaFish built a Nether portal, and by the end of the day the net wealth of the group was about $200. Claims were discussed, and 99UncleSam proposed that they would establish their nation in the Hejaz, controlling part of the Red Sea and Sudan, and expanding upwards and ideally over Jerusalem and Turkey. mchdi opposed this, saying by the time they reached Jerusalem nations would be too strong to handle, and that they should settle there amongst the other nations and obtain land early. 
They negotiated and agreed that they would found Medina, not too far away from Europe but not too close that accessing the gold hotspots became inconvenient.
On, 3/27, at around 12:45pm, thicc_duc founded Medina along with 99UncleSam. This began a conflict between the two and mchdi, which had started with a disagreement on the name of the to-be nation. In the end, leadership was transferred to mchdi. Over the course of a few days, they had gathered four other members, and in order to compromise with the other two, mchdi initiated a vote. The nation name ended up being the New Order of Hejaz due to complications in the results of the vote.
A few more players were invited both in-game and through friends, and the total amount of members became around 10. One player named jj_disaster was able to make money for the town quickly by, while the rest of the players expanded the town and _JellyDaFish_ managed the housing and plot ownership. Due to the scarcity of cows needed for leather, 99UncleSam ventured through many terrains until he found some which he, thicc_duc, and mchdi brought back to the town.
On March 28th, at about 7:08pm EST, the New Order of Hejaz was founded.
On March 30th, the cities of Grozny and Babylon gained the status of township in Hejaz. 
On April 3rd, the cities of Dubai and Mecca gained the status of township in Hejaz. 
On April 7th, the city of Muscat gained the status of township in Hejaz. 
After almost two weeks of server downtime, it came back up on Saturday, April 23rd. The town of Cyprus gained the status of township, and approximately 30-40 minutes after the server went up, Hejaz sieged Jerusalem and invaded it 3 days later on April 26th. Beirut, the nation above it, was sieged about ten minutes afterwards. It is currently under siege until April 28th. 
On April 27th, the Kingdom of Hungary founded a town in Caucasia called Ancient Basin. The Hungarian government agreed to hand the town over to Hejaz in exchange for no conflict between the two nations. Hejaz sieged 2 towns on the same day, Kutaisi and Tbilisi, a town belonging to United Caucasia. They are currently under siege until April 30th. 
On May 20th, the Mughal Empire merged into the New Order of Hejaz.

* Initiated successful start to the establishment of the nation
* Formed successful base for Discord server of the nation
*Launched successful sieges on Jerusalem, Beirut, Kutaisi, and United Caucasia
*Massive expansion of the nation's control over towns in the official claims of the nation
===Failures===
*Over-aggressiveness led to nation sieging Zagreb and London simultaneously, which put the nation in unstable military territory and risked major financial losses

==Second Caliphate==
Caliph: 99UncleSam
===Achievements ===
*Brought victory to the nation in the siege against Zagreb, sending a strong political message against Gorilla
*Successively defended Mecca from Gorilla's siege
*Helped bring somewhat stability after inheriting a struggling nation
=== Failures===
*Failed to win siege on London
*Relatively short term temporarily destabilized the nation's political sphere
* Loss of Mecca
99UncleSam resigned Caliph to thicc_duc after suffering from a stroke and then became a key foreign advisor to the Caliph. 
Side Notes: Mecca had been sieged by Gorilla and Hejaz helped to defend Mecca. During the first 2 and a half days of the siege, none of the residents in Mecca knew they were being sieged. Hejaz would triumph in this Jihad, securing Mecca. To show their gratitude, Mecca ran off with the war chest to form the now defunct Islamic Caliphate with its capital of Alexandria based in Egypt, thus giving 99UncleSam a stroke. The defunct caliphate would lose its nation status and then promptly be sieged by the Saharan States. Ultimately the entire war chest from Mecca was lost for naught.
