Junta Arabia

"Brutal. Repressive. Inhuman. There are no other words to describe the regime, and the things it has done to this once-great nation."
-The Shikh 
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, often nicknamed Junta Arabia, is a military dictatorship and pariah state located in the Middle-East. After the global shift toward green energy was implemented during the Auto-Corp Wars and oil prices dropped dramatically, much of the Middle-East was left destitute. Saudi Arabia was once such nation, being hit especially hard by the price drops. 
In order to provide stability for the nation, the Saudi crown declared the creation of the nation's first constitution, as well as a constitutional monarchy. However, the reigns of democracy were taken hold of by a militant Islamist party, which laid blame on the country's decline on Saudi Arabia's mages. The parliament then ordered a purge of all things supernatural. 
What resulted was a violent mage insurrection supported by the Silk Nomads, Iran-backed border interventions from Yemen, Iraq, and Jordan, a near-total economic collapse, and a military coup when the forces of General Mohammed Bin Kashr marched into Riyadh and forced the royal family into house arrest. Since then, the nation has been a de-facto military junta, supported by the increasingly powerless Islamist parliament. 
Saudi Arabia is currently among one of the poorest and most isolated nations in the world, with much of the educated population fleeing to the Qatari Technocracy, and most nations refusing to engage with the junta. The nation has since been reduced to a pariah state, forced out of many international organizations due to its repressive regime. Since Mid-2120, mass protests lead by Saudi Arabian singer and revolutionary Maliah have rocked the nation, and violence between republicans, royalists, and junta supporters has sparked gang wars across the country, in the nation's populated west in particular.
