Saharan States (Season 1 & 2)

# Season One

## History

The Saharan States, *(The Kingdom of Egypt and the Saharan States)* is a nation in Northern Africa that dominates Egypt and the Atlantis region in West Africa. They formed following the collapse of the Afro-Arabian Union, of which Cairo was the capitol. The Saharan States' oldest cities (Cairo, South Egypt and Atlantis) were all originally a part of the Egyptian Empire, which merged with the African Union and Arabia to create Afro-Arabia.

## Towns

**Cairo:**

Cairo (formerly known as Egypt) is the oldest African city that is still standing, it is the capital of the Saharan States and it's most populated and developed town. Cairo has existed since the first day of the server and has grown to be very influential and popular, now opening a shopping district and hosting the first Olympic Games.

**South Egypt:**

South Egypt is the home to the Vizier (second in command) of the Saharan States, Icon365, as well as the biggest of many pyramids in the country. South Egypt is a very old town, just like Cairo, and is heavily focused on money, industrialism and war, rather than population.

**Atlantis:**

Atlantis is the last of 3 towns from the original Egyptian Empire, that still exists, and the capital of the Atlantis region. The mayor of Atlantis is responsible for the great manmade sea of West Africa and the rising water level in the Mediterranean Sea.

**Hejaz:**

Hejaz is a town in Arabia, which was founded by one of the original citizens of Cairo during the days of the AAU. After the AAU collapsed, Hejaz stayed in the Islamic Alliance, but left and joined the Saharan States not long after the start of World War Two.

**Hell:**

Hell is a town created by one of the four founders of Cairo after his return to the server. It was created to claim a large potion of the Nile, following the collapse of an enemy town which previously owned it.

## Wars

#### Egyptian-Pirate War

On the first day of the server, several towns were pillaged by a group of Pirates. Cairo as one of the targets, although they were unsuccessful, as one of the 2 pirates was imprisoned. After escaping, the pirates returned and fought the Egyptians, but were ultimately defeated, resulting in 1 death on either side.

#### The Great Chinese War

This was the first great war on the server. It began when Australasia and Indonesia claimed land within China's borders, causing China to retaliate and demand the land back, and later declaring war. Indonesia and Australasia called in all their allies, which included Egypt at the time. The King of Indonesia also gave Egypt enough money to become a nation, in order to get full military support, which was how the Egyptian Empire was formed. After more than a week of war, with 4+ battles, both sides chose to end the war.

#### The Crusader Conquest War

Not long after merging into the African Union, to form the Federated States of Africa, a long time enemy of Egypt, Jerusalem, created a nation called the Crusader States and began invading Arabian towns, who made up some of Egypt's closest allies, so the FSA decided to get involved. The war resulted in 0 deaths, but the Crusaders retreated after loosing a fight outside of Jerusalem and falling behind in the siege of Damascus. The leader of the Crusaders reached out to the leaders of Arabia and Egypt, who decided on a treaty, known as the Treaty of Jerusalem, which ended the war, and greatly changed the borders of Jerusalem, Damascus and Amman, although the Crusaders never fully fulfilled Egypt's demands over Sinai, as a new town took the land as it was being unclaimed, and later joined the Crusaders.

#### African Anti-Colonialist War

Due to European Colonialism in Africa, especially from Belgium, the FSA, now known as the Afro-Arabian Union, due to a merge with Arabia, declared war on Belgium, and sieged Chadonia and Congo. They easily got a strong lead in Chadonia, but lost 2 battles in a row in Congo, putting them far behind. In the end, they hired Chinese mercenaries to fight alongside them and invaded Brussels. They were so successful that the Belgians gave independence to Jamaica and Djibouti, then disbanded their nation and joined the European Federation. The sieges in Chadonia and Congo ended without winners, due to an issue with the server.

#### World War 1

After hearing rumours about the Chinese planning an invasion in South Egypt, a group of soldiers decided to hit China first, and invaded Beijing. As China and the AAU were 2 of the biggest nations at the time, this decision escalated into all-out war. The AAU formed an alliance with the Mughal Empire and New South Wales, and also got help from other nations occasionally, whereas China began working with the Crusader States and Vietnam. The war escalated further when the European Federation, the biggest nation at the time, joined the war on China's side, and even more when 4 European nations merged into Imperium Maris and began fighting with the AAU. In the end, both the AAU and EF collapsed into smaller nations. One of the 3 nations to come from the AAU was the Saharan States, who own the then capitol of the AAU, Cairo, which was under siege by China, along with South Egypt and Nile. Immediately after becoming independent, they surrendered to China and declared neutrality. Another third of the AAU became the Islamic Alliance/Wakanda, who allied with the newly established Imperium Maris and invaded the EF to the point of it's collapse, which eventually brought the war to an end. It is estimated that the war lasted around 20 days.

#### World War 2

This war was closely related to World War 1, and officially started only a few days after the end of the first world war. It began as 3 smaller wars, with merged into one, with alliances being formed, and the wars crossing paths. First, Baja Imperium began invading innocent towns in North America, then Greater Israel was established and immediately began invading towns in North Africa and Arabia. Then, Islamic Alliance, who was already a global threat and the biggest nation, lead by warlords, allied them both. This lead to several nations forming a coalition called the United Front. At first, the Saharan States were hesitant to join, as they were just recently at war with the UF's creator, China, ands in the same nation as their target, but after Islamic Alliance began supporting Israel, who had invaded both Saharan States and their allies, they decided to join. The war lasted for roughly 27 days, and ended after Israel merged into Bosnia, and Islamic Alliance's government gave up on the war and quit the server. To end the war, both sides mutually agreed to siege Eros, as the mayor had managed to become hated by both sides, despite previously being allied with both.

#### The Bosnian War

During World War II, the nation of Islamic Bosnia, an ally and puppet state of the Islamic Alliance, began invading nearby nations, including Roma and Byzantium. Not long after World War II, the Bosnians invaded Hejaz, a town in the Saharan States, then a few days later, invaded Cairo. The Saharan States won both sieges. Due to these acts of war, the Saharan States formed a coaltion with Australia and Hellenic Empire, who together, invaded and occupied Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia. Hellenic Empire also revolted against Bosnia, who at the time, wewre occupied by them. They were unsuccessful. There are no active sieges between the nations, but tension is still high, and the conflict has not yet been resolved.
