==History==
===2000-2024===
Oman commands passage through the strategic Strait of Hormuz. The United States protected Oman for the first quarter of the 21st century. Oman joined the American backed Alliance of Arabian States.
===2025-2050===
Oman seceded from the Alliance of Arabian States on the eve of its war with Tehran hoping to avert outright invasion and conquest. Oman became an autonomous sultanate within the United Islamic Republic after Tehran's conquest of the Arabian Peninsula during the Third Persian Gulf War. Along with Dubai, Oman's capital Muscat served as one of the technology and finance hubs of the UIR due to its highly developed economy.
Oman became in a major player in the solar industry in the 2030s. The Sultan of Oman sponsored the construction of vast solar arrays throughout the Omani desert taking advantage of technological advances in the 2020s that had vastly reduced the costs of solar power while also greatly increasing its efficiency. Oman piped surplus electricity to India via HVDC cables stretching under the Arabian Sea supplying a significant percentage of Delhi's energy needs by 2035 with clean solar power.
Although part of the United Islamic Republic, the sultans of Oman exercised autonomy and largely ran their sultanate the way they had when it was an independent nation.
