Caliphate of Alamayn

Alamayn, officially the Caliphate of Alamayn, is a nation located in the South West of Halinn. Founded by Aphilas Arsema Amilaki it became the first nation in the region to establish a stable government and eventually managed to gain control over most of it. The Caliphate draws inspiration from tales of the Rathnir nation of the same name, (The Constitutional Republic of Alamayn). 
== History ==
The Caliphate was originally founded as Nezurah via the merger of the Republic of Pinkiskromtal with the Tsardom of Naan. After a star fell from the sky carrying banners and tales of the old world the Caliphs Loxy & Aphilas Amilaki, who had been guided to the star by the god Aros, decided to rename the state in it's honor. 
== Culture ==
The Alamayni are a resilient people having honed their skills through centuries of survival in the desert and numerous armed conflicts. Many of the Caliphate of Alamayn's citizens trace their lineage back to the Constitutional Republic of Alamayn, maintaining their Aljazairi and Axumite traditions. The larger portion of the Caliphate's population continues to maintain the traditions of Pinkiskromtal and Naan. The modern incarnation of Alamayn maintains its predecessor's cosmopolitan tendencies and has formed a rich mosaic of many disparate ethnicities. 
== Geography ==
The entirety of the caliphate lays within the south-western dersert of Hallin, an area that forms part of the Valuka'n peninsula. This region had previously been uninhabited before the establishment of the caliphate. Due to it's location, Valuka tends to be isolated from the rest of the continent often resulting in little contact between her people and the rest of the continent.
The land is also further marked by two isthmuses on the north and south sides of the peninsula, which act as a natural border for the desert.
== Government ==
The Caliphate of Alamayn is led by a pair of Caliphs (Kings) who command strong executive authority. To carry out their will the Caliphs appoint ministers to head the five departments of the executive branch, which are ministries of Foreign Affairs, Internal Affairs, War, Finance, and Justice. The power of the Caliphs is checked by the Majlis al-Shura (parliament) which forms the legislature of the nation. The Caliphs oversee diplomacy, elections, and the appointment of most officials. Alamayn is divided into regions each led by an Amir (Governor), that enjoys a large degree of autonomy within his domain. The towns of the nation are led by Sheikhs (Mayors), that are subordinate to the Emirs.
