Arabis

== Overview ==
Arabis is a large country with a diversity of environments within it's borders: Mountains, Forests, Rivers, Swamps, and Deserts, though Desert does make up much of the land acreage. Arabis has a diversity of different cultures, from Aphrians in the south, Lokistani's in the north, and South Ossians in the east, they are united in a national identity, but also by force.
== Government ==
Arabis was once a democracy, but in 1954 the army conducted a coup against the government, citing concerns for a divided country during a time of high tensions with it's neighbor Lokistan. The army has since focused on teaching "شعوب كثيرة وأمة واحدة" (Many peoples, one nation) as it's motto and teachings. This began to work, as enlistment by all ethnicities gradually went up, and popular support for the Junta though starting at an abysmal 12% in 1956 went up to 83% in 1973. The external threat of it's neighbors helped unity a great deal, as in 1973 Lokistan launched an assault into the province of Huwant, citing ethnic hegemony as a majority of the population living in Huwant was ethnically Lokistani. However the Junta's educational policy had worked, and a majority of the population of Huwant resisted either passively or openly by forming militias to combat the Lokistani army. Since 1973, the Junta has allowed some reforms to go through, including limitations on military force on it's civilians and referendums on some more menial laws.
== Military ==
Since the Junta took over Gernia and Rojava has been a supporter of their armed forces. Arabis got access to new equipment not long after their inception, as they positioned themselves as their ally in the region, surrounded by the Ahmedian Commonwealth and Lokistan, both friendly to TOMDAS up until Lokistan's change of government in 2016. As such it is imperative to them that Arabis is not weakened or made to be client state under either of them, so they would be adequately supplied.
