Ubar Republic

The Sultanate of Ubar, also known as the Ubar Sultanate and the Ubar Republic, was a state controlled by the Sultan of Ubar, in place around 16,000 BC. The Sultanate's territories varied over time, and at their greatest extent spanned all of present-day Mesza City and the Westholm Province, down to the southern end where their capital, Mesopotamia, is located. After a decline, the state had sovereignty over only a small strip along the northern coast, with the interior of Westholm constituting the newly founded Atheian Empire and the coastal strip administered as part of that colony de facto.
== History ==
=== Founding of the Ubar Republic ===
In 16,000 BC, Ubar became part of the overseas holdings of the defunct Aubixerene Empire after the sultan was defeated in battle by Tabni-Ishtar. In the same year, Ubar ruler, Tabni-Ishtar, moved her court from Nazreth to Mesopotamia within the Great Valley of Misbah. She established a ruling Misbahian elite and encouraged the development of clove plantations, using the country's slave labor. Ubar's commerce fell increasingly into the hands of traders from the Aurelian subcontinent, whom Tabni encouraged to settle within the country. After her death, two of her children, Majid-Ishtar and Attii'kusu, struggled over the succession, so Ubar was divided into two separate realms. Majid became the Sultan of Hudala while Attii'kusu became the first Sultan of Ubar, but obliged to pay an annual tribute to the Hudala Court. During her reign as Sultan, Attii'kusu consolidated her power around the local slave trade. Her successor, Alia Samaha, helped abolish the slave trade in Ubar and largely developed the country's infrastructure. Alia also furthered the country's progress toward abolishing slavery.
