## History

After the Italo Turkish war, the Ottoman Empire was forced to hand over it's last remaining territory in Africa, Tripolitania, over to the Kingdom of Italy, which was a huge humiliation to the crumbling empire, and was just another sign of it's inevitable collapse. So when the Ottoman Empire joined the First World War on the side of the Central Powers in 1915, the Ottomans hoped they would be able to regain their lost territory. While at first the Ottomans struggled, they were able to overcome their weaknesses and push into the Sinai peninsula. By 1916, both Cario and Alexandria were under Ottoman occupation, and by 1918, all of the Arabian peninsula, half of Egypt, and parts of Libya were under Ottoman occupation. Thanks to these military victories, the Ottoman Empire was able to kill of it's title of being "the sick man of Europe", and showed that it was indeed a great power. By 1919, the powers of the Entente had fallen into civil wars, causing the Central Powers to divide up what remaining colonies the British and French had on the continent. By this point, the Ottomans were now in control of Tripoli, and had now started occupying parts of French Tunisia. This had displeased the people currently living in Libya, and in the same year, Libyan revolutionary Omar Al Mukhtar had proclaimed a Revolutionary government in Sabha, The goal was to push the Ottoman's out of the country and establish an independent Libyan state. Despite Mukhtars best efforts however, the Revolutionary state was quickly crushed by the Ottomans, and had executed Al Mukhtar to prevent any sort of revolution occurring in the newly returned Ottoman territory.

In 1920, the new colonial borders of Africa were established, with the Ottomans gaining Egypt, Sudan, Libya, and Tunisia, as well as gaining some territories from Algeria and Chad. The new Ottoman African holdings were divided into emirates, which would have some free will in regards to policies, but were still loyal to the Ottoman Sultan. The territory of Libya was divided into 3 emirates: Tripolitania in the north west, Cyrenacia in the north east, and Sahara in the south. while Cyrenacia and Sahara were ruled by people of Turkish descent, Tripolitania was different, as it was to be ruled by Idris I, A Libyan from the Senussi. Once both the Internal and external borders were established, the Ottomans got to work in taking advantage of Libya's vast oil and natural gas reserves. Turkification also spread throughout the empires new territories, Tripolitania included, but due to Idris I, Tripolitania was one of the least Turkified area's in the empire

Despite Tripolitania receiving less Turkification than other territories in the empire, Ottoman rule in the territory was still extremely unpopular, and saw many protest against Ottoman rule and policies. While at first these were small at scale, they eventually grew to massive scale, with clashes with protesters and police forces becoming all the more common. Not only that, but a terrorist group called New Libya had been formed in 1931, with the goal of freeing Libya from Ottoman rule. They would attack many key Ottoman buildings and figures, although unfortunately, sometimes civilians got caught up in the cross fire, with one such incident happening in 1942. where a car bomb in Tobruk causing 13 people to die and 22 others gaining injuries to varying degree's. Despite their controversies, New Libya had seen massive popularity in the Libyan territories. Idris I was a quiet supporter of the Libyan independence movement, as he feared more vocal support would see the Ottoman government overthrow him and replace him with a more Ottoman friendly puppet. Despite this, Idris did all he could do to move Tripolitania away from the Ottomans. In 1934, the former Austrian territory of Kenya was incorporated into the Ottoman Empire as the Kingdom of Kenya, with king Mumia of the Wanga Kingdom becoming the king. This didn't see any changes to Tripolitania, although many Kenyans moved to the territory in hopes of new jobs and opportunities From the mid 30's to late 40's, Tripolitania didn't change much at all, but still did see massive protests and more terrorist attacks from New Libya. In 1947, the Ottoman Empire had broken off relations with the German Empire, which was long expected as relations between the 2 empires had started to decline since the start of the 40's and the death of Kaiser Wilhelm II.

Because of this split, the Ottomans had to look for natural resources elsewhere, and had seen the Ottomans heavily increase the extractions of natural resources from it's territories, the Libyan ones in particular, as oil production in the Libyan territories had massively increased. Despite this, the Libyan people had barely gotten the spoils, with all of the resources mainly going to the Turkish territories in the empire, where most of the power was held. Fearing a potentially civil war, current Ottoman sultan Osman IV had met with Libyan leaders in Benghazi in 1949, which would be known as the Benghazi agreement, or the Libyan reform. This had seen the 3 emirates of Tripolitania, Cyrenaica, and Sahara merged into the Emirate of Libya, with Idris I of Tripolitania being it's emir. Libya would also gain some lands from Sudan, would gain much more autonomy in the empire, and would see more rights in the territory, especially more workers rights as relations between the Ottomans and Internationale had grown more friendly. Despite the reforms being widely popular, many were still displeased, as they wanted a fully independent Libya, one free from any foreign intervention. One particular figure advocating for this was Muammar Gaddafi. a young and charismatic activist who strongly advocated for an independent Libya, and a transition from capitalism to socialism. Starting his political activism in the late 1950's, Gaddafi had seen massive popularity from the people as an anti-colonial hero.

This enraged the Ottoman government, who had wanted Gaddafi dead, and had started up many plans to kill Gaddafi, but most of these had failed, with Gaddafi either being able to survive the attempts, or the attempts never getting off of the planning stage 1957 saw the 2nd Arabian uprising on the Arabian peninsula, which was heavily supported by Gaddafis newly founded Arab Socialist Union party, which as the name suggests, is a socialist party which advocated against European and Turkish colonialism. Unlike the 1st Arabian uprising, the 2nd saw the Arab revolutionaries win, and saw the creation of the All-Nejd Federation, Iraqi People's Republic, Yemeni Peoples Republic, and the Republic of Oman on the Arabian peninsula. This was a devastating blow to the Ottoman Empire, as they had now lost access to tons of oil reserves, making them even more dependent on Libya's oil Despite this, the people of Libya had enough of Ottoman rule, and had started arming themselves in 1964, led by Gaddafi himself. The next year in 1965, the Libyan Republic Army was established, and taken control of several major cities on Libya's coast, causing the Ottomans to quickly mobilize troops into Libya, starting the Libyan revolt, also known as the Libyan war of independence.

While the Ottomans hoped they could quickly crush the revolutionaries, it had soon become very apparent that the Ottomans could no longer hold onto Libya, as by the next year, the Libyan Republican Army had occupied all of Libya, and had established a provisional government. In January of 1967, the 2 sides had signed the Treaty of Tripoli, which would see Libya gain independence as the Libyan Arab Republic, which was yet another crushing blow to the Ottoman government, as not only had they lost access to even more oil reserves, but it had also turned Tunisia into an enclave until it's independence in 1970. This caused the Ottoman Empire to slowly decline until the 1972 coup. Meanwhile in the newly founded Libyan Arab Republic, Gaddafi had become the president of the new republic, and had started a process of "de-Ottomanization" , which saw all Ottoman memorabilia destroyed and torn down, such as statues and flags. All statues depicting former emir Idris I were also torn down, the Turkish language was banned, and thousands of Turks living in Libya were deported into Ottoman Egypt, causing many deaths.

Gaddafi had also started introducing many new reforms into the country, such as the nationalization of major industries, improvement in the agricultural sector of the country, more rights for women, and new programs to combat homelessness. Despite his popularity, many had started to become opposed to Gaddafi's increasingly authoritarian rule, which saw the repression of all criticisms towards the government, and many human rights violations against those who opposed Gadaffi's rule, with often barbaric torture being used against suspected enemies. Many also criticized Gaddafi's funding of terrorist groups across the continent, who would often use cruel methods to succeed.

Despite all that, Libya remained a stable, if brutal, country Another thing Gaddafi had started in was the funding of anti-colonial movements across the continent, as more and more had started up as colonialism on the continent was starting to wind down. Gaddafi had helped fund many of these movements, such as those in Guinea, Algeria, Camerun, Angola, and Mozambique. In 1970, a coup attempt against Gaddafi's government was attempted, with the goal of restoring the monarchy of Idris I. This coup attempt had failed, and those who had participated in it were either arrested or executed. Gaddafi had accused the German Empire as being behind the coup attempt, though this was never confirmed. Regardless, this had massively increased Gaddafi's paranoia, and this was seen as the start of Gaddafi's authoritarianism, with kidnappings and murders massively increasing, and Gaddafi always having several body guards around him when in public. This also saw Gaddafi introduce more and more rules which would effectively make him dictator for life. In 1977, Gaddafi had officially announced the creation of the Libyan Jamahiriya, a socialist state he was long planning to build Libya into, where he would be the dictator for life. This was controversial for many, and had seen massive protests, with some even attempting to assassinate Gaddafi during his speech, though he survived Despite all of this, Gaddafi was still able to keep his hold on the country, despite the many protests and assassination attempts against him.

### Second Weltkrieg

In June of 1993, the 2nd world war had started after the Ukrainian civil war, eventually causing the Central Powers and Internationale to intervene. at first, Gaddafi had made it clear that he had 0 intentions to get involved in the war despite his good relations with the Internationale, as he saw it as a European war, though he would send some support to the fronts in Africa On March 4th, 1994, many pro-war military figures, including high ranking general Khalifa Haftar, launch a coup against Gaddafi's government, with the hopes of bringing Libya into the war and even bringing down Gaddafi's rule. The government responded quickly to this, and saw pro and anti government military forces fought each other near the capitol building, which would go on to be known as the "March 4th crisis", and resulted in 72 deaths. Eventually, the pro-war forces were invited for negotiations, and eventually came to an agreement: general Khalifa Haftar would temporarily become president until the wars end, and would be in charge of Libya's involvement in the war, while Gaddafi would remain prime minister and deal with the countries internal affairs. The next day, Libya had officially joined the war on the side of the Internationale.

A few days later on March 8th, the Turkish Federation and German Empire declared war on Libya and launched an invasion. Very quickly the Turks were able to capture the cities of Tobruk and Benghazi, causing the Soviets to start sending troops into the Libyan front. However, the Turkish Federation would find some problems in it's invasion of Libya, as although the Turks held all the power in the country, the country was actually majority Arabs, most of whom did not want to fight against another Arab nation, caused many to protest, and others to defect to the Internationale.

With the capture of 2 major cities, the military government had started plotting a coup in Algeria, with the help of the Soviets and Algerian socialists. While the Algerian government had declared itself neutral in both the 2nd world war and cold, it's government was friendly to the Germans, which made it likely that if Algeria were to enter the war, it would do so on the side of the Central Powers. And so on April 11 1994, socialist, pro Internationale, pro Libyan forces had overthrown the government, proclaimed the Algerian Socialist Republic, and joined the war on the side of the Internationale.

Enraged by this development, the German Weltreich had begun planning for an invasion of Tunisia, which was at this point neutral in the war. Despite the countries relatively small size, a pro-German Tunisia would still be a useful ally in the war effort. And on May 27th, German, Italian, Bulgarian, and Turkish troops landed in the north of Tunisia, and spread out from there. With no way of being able to fight off the invading forces, the Tunisian government surrendered only a few days later on June 3. After this happened, the Islamic Republic of Tunisia was established, which would join the war on the side of the Germans. Soon after, the new Tunisian government launched an invasion into Algeria.

On June 26, Libya began an invasion into Tunisia to overthrow the pro-German government. Although this new Tunisian government had supplies from the Central Powers, it still stood no match against Libya, with Libyan forces quickly occupying the southern parts of the country. After 4 months of a stalemate, the Turkish army is able to further invade into Libya, meanwhile Tunisia organizes a counter attack against Libyan forces. On November 23rd, the Socialist Republic of Tunisia was proclaimed in the Libyan occupied parts of the country, with the hopes of it being seen as the legitimate government of Tunisia.

Very quickly the new Socialist government was able to take large swaths of land from the Islamic government, while Algerian forces started to push Islamic Tunisian forces out of the country. On December 8th, the Islamic Republic of Tunisia surrendered, marking the end of the of the short lived Islamic republic, also marking the Socialist Republic of Tunisia as the sole legitimate government of the country. This was a major blow to the Central Powers, as this now meant that almost all of northern Africa was apart of the Internationale, and as such started sending much more troops and supplies to the Libyan front to help the Turkish government

On February 9th 1995, the Turkish Federation made some slight gains on the Libyan front. Starting on March 18th, the Turks were able to make major gains in the Libyan front, with a good chunk of Cyrenacia being occupied by Turkish forces. The plan was to establish a puppet regime in the Turkish occupied regions, called the "Islamic Republic of Libya", with the hope Libyans across the country would rise up against the government, and join with the Islamic Republic. Starting on May 11th, the Libyan military government had started a counter offence against Turkish forces, being able to retake some land. On July 17th, Libyan forces were able to further push back Turkish forces, and were even able to push into Turkish Egypt, now starting the Egyptian front or the Egyptian war. On August 11, after winning more and more victories against forces, Soviet, Libyan, British, Greek, and Algerian forces land in the north eastern parts of Turkish Egypt, where most of it's population lived. When landing in Cairo and Alexandria, the occupying forces weren't treated as occupiers or conquerors, but rather as liberators, as crowds of Egyptian citizens cheered at the arrival of Internationale forces.

After the capture of both Cairo and Alexandria, the Internationale had started the Nile River campaign, where most of Egypt's population was concentrated. Meanwhile Libyan forces from the west would continue pushing into Turkish Egypt. And by September 12, Turkish forces were completely expelled after an encirclement of Turkish forces in north western Egypt. On September 25th, Libyan and Algerian troops from the west had finally met up with the Internationale forces in the east. On November 4, seeing Egypt as lost, the Turkish government withdraws all it's troops from Egypt in order to move them to the Soviet and Greek fronts, and also putting almost all of Egypt under Internationale control

After this major development, Internationale forces had started making plans for an invasion Levant. On July 4th 1996, after a months-long stalemate, Internationale forces began the invasion of the Levant, quickly capturing the Sinai peninsula and the holy city of Jerusalem. At the same time, Soviet forces were finally able to push Turkish forces out of Armenia, and began an invasion of the Turkish Federation. By August, Libyan forces had pushed into the Jordan region, and had begun an invasion of the All-Nejd Federation In October, Libyan forces had started progressing more through Nejd and the Turkish Federation, capturing Syria and Lebanon, and at this point they were slowly approaching Turkey proper. Libyan forces had also participated in the liberation of Iraq, along with Soviet troops. On October 15, the Socialist Republic of Egypt was declared, with Libyan and Soviet backing On November 1st, British, Soviet, and Greek troops had finally been able to capture the capital of Istanbul, were most of the military government were executed by Greek and Soviet troops.

Seeing the writing on the walls, the remains of the Turkish Federation had surrendered to the Internationale, along with Turkish troops in Iraq. After the news of the Turkish Federations surrender, the rest of the Turkish Federation. On November 12th, the remains of the Turkish government signed the treaty of Ankara with the Internationale, which entailed:

- The Turkish Federation would pay 5 million dollars as reparations to the Internationale

- The Turkish Federation would cede Izmir to Greece by the year's end

- Egypt will be recognized as an independent state

- Jordan, Palestine, Syria, Rojava, and Lebanon, will gain independence as socialist states by the years end

- The remaining parts of Turkey will be occupied until the wars end

On November 13th, the borders of the new independent states were drawn

On November 16th, Syria gained independence as the People's Republic of Syria

On November 18th Jordan gained independence as the Commune of Transjordan

On November 19th, Rojava gained independence as the Socialist Republic of Kurdish Rojava

On December 2nd, Greece was finally given the region of Izmir

On December 16, Palestine and Lebanon gained independence as the Levintine Union and the Socialist Republic of Lebanon respectively

On January 15, 1998, the German Empire had finally surrendered, and the next year, the American Union State would surrender as well, ending the war worldwide. This saw massive parades and celebrations worldwide, and Libya was no different, as massive celebrations occurred in the capital of Tripoli and other major cities. Gaddafi had also given a speech on the steps of the capitol building, which had helped increase his popularity. Gaddafi's rule during the war was surprisingly tame, with the exception of many suspected Central Powers sympathizers being sent to internment camps in the Saharan territories. Libya had participated in the treaties redrawing northern Africa and the middle east, deciding how the regions would be redrawn. At first, idea's of Libya annexing some or all of German Sahara, which would give Libya a coast on the Atlantic. However, Libya rejected this, as it would heavily go against Gaddafi's staunch anti-imperialist stance. Instead, a vote was held in the territory to decide its future. The majority of citizens were in favor of independence, and the Saharan Republic was created as a non-aligned state. Libya had also pushed for all Kurdish lands in Turkey to be ceded to Rojava, but this also went nowhere. Eventually, a concrete agreement for post-war Turkey was made, which entailed:

- The Turkish Federation would be replaced with the Socialist Republic of Turkey

- Cyprus would also gain independence as the Socialist Union of Cyprus

- Greece would occupy the western regions of Turkey

- The Soviet Union would occupy the North eastern parts of the country, as well as the Istanbul region

Originally, Greece and the Soviets had wanted to outright annex their occupation votes, and establish an independent, neutral city state in Istanbul, but this was decided against as to prevent a resurgent Turkish republic. Libya had lost 379,000 thousand people in the war, both in fighting again Turkey and Nejd, as well as bombings which occurred over major cities. The military government had also honored their agreement, and stepped down from the government after the AUS surrendered, leaving Gaddafi once again in charge of the whole country. Now it was a new era for the world, and time to start reconstruction .

The end of the war had seen Gaddafi gain levels of popularity similar to his early days of political activism. This time however, it was clear that if he were to stay in power, he would have to soften on his more unpopular policies, lest he be overthrown in a violent revolution. In 2002, new laws were passed that allowed for more criticisms of the government, release of most political prisoners, and more spending on internal affairs. While not everything was fixed, as Gaddafi still ruled as a dictator, this had helped solidify his reign, and helped him re-gain his popularity amongst the Libyan population. Libya had also helped in the reconstruction of Northern Africa and the newly created states in the middle east, as they had been ravaged by the war. Starting in 2001, Libya had sent huge amounts of aid to the war torn countries, helping in rebuilding and any ongoing famines and droughts going. This had helped Libya rise to a regional power, and massively increased Libyan influence in the region

the 2010's had seen what was described as the "restoration of capitalism" in Western Europe, as well as other countries with British military presence, such as Greece, Camerun, Angola, and the La Plata. Gaddafi had also seen this coming, and had started taking measures to make sure that Libya didn't become a puppet to the British or Soviets. In 2007, Libya, along with Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, and the Levintine had founded the League of Islamic Jamahiriya's, intended to counter foreign influence in the region. Not long after the founding of the organization, the newly created states in the Middle East had also joined the league to protect themselves from foreign powers.

There were also plans of uniting the Arab world into one singular state, an idea that had been passed around for quite a while, but had never gotten far. Gaddafi had long been a supporter of pan-Africanism, but at this point, he saw the continent as too divided for that to be an option, so he had now settled on the Arab world. A lack of any solid leader of the Arab world had long prevented any sort of united Arab state, but with Libya's major role in the 2nd World War, it had now cemented Libya as the leader of the Arab world, with some even calling Libya the "Prussia of the Arab world". Starting in 2008, plans for unification with Egypt and the Levintine federation had gone underway, with many policies implemented in the 3 countries to help further integrate them, such as the abolishment of all types of border control between the 3 countries, and the use of a single currency, the Arabic Dular

On April 24, 2012, after around 4 years of planning, Libya, Egypt, and the Levintine Union had finally united into the Great Arab Jamahiriya. While the project was a great success, Gaddafi had wanted to further promote unity within the newly founded union, as with the current capital in Tripoli, there were fears that Libya would become the dominant power, with the other parts of the country being largely ignored. The next year in, 2013, Gaddafi had announced the creation of a new capital city on the Libyan-Egyptian border called Al Mukhtar, named after Omar Al Mukhtar, the resistance leader who briefly led the Libyan Revolutionary State in 1919. Construction of the city had begun construction in the same year as it's announced, and was finished in 2019. During the time of it's construction, the Arab Jamahiriya was growing in power and influence, as this decade had also seen mass modernization and automatizing, becoming one of the worlds most industrial and advanced super powers, along the likes of the Soviet Union, Britain, SSA, Mexico, Germany, India, and the Weltreich. With the growth of the economy and further improvement of living standards, the Arab Jamahiriya had seen mass immigration from other countries, mainly from southern and eastern Africa, as well as the middle east.

The Arab Jamahiriya had also managed to expand it's influence into Iraq, which were previously aligned with the Soviet Union, as a newer, more pro Jamahiriyan governmentshad come to power after Soviet troops had left the country, and in 2017, the country had joined the League of Islamic Jamahiriya's. Despite this, the Arab Jamahiriya was facing new opponents in the region. Yemen and Iran were still loyal to the Soviet union, and Morocco had become apart of Britain sphere of influence, which was a major blow to the Arab Jamahiriya, as this prevented easy access to the Atlantic ocean. The biggest enemies of the Arab Jamahiriya however were Oman and Pakistan, as they had begun funding many anti-socialist, Islamic, guerrillas in the region, sparking a mini cold war in the region.

In August of 2021, the crisis in Germany had marked the official start of the 2nd cold war between the British and Soviet blocs, which saw the Arab Jamahiriya initially stay neutral. As of 2021, the Great Arab Jamahiriya had a population of 119.781 million, with a very high human development index and the 15th largest economy in the world. With the official start of the 2nd cold war, the Great Arab Jamahiriya had remained neutral, and had instead focused on further internal developments, such as the recently started Jamahiriyan nuclear program, and also focusing on further improving relations with other countries in the region. During this period of time, the Great Arab Jamahiriya had started to further improve relations with the Syndicalist States of America. Similarly to what the Arab Jamahiriya did, the SSA had gone on it's own way during the rising tensions between Britain and the Soviets, and in 2011 had funded the Havana Pact, a economic and defensive agreement between the other socialist states of the Americas .

On June 12th, 2022, while giving a speech in the new capital of Al Mukhtar, Gaddafi had suddenly collapsed and was immediately rushed to the hospital. Gaddafi had spent quite a while in the hospital, leading to rumors that he had passed away. However, on July 3rd, these rumors were proven false, as Gaddafi was escorted out of the hospital to the sound of roaring applause. While the official reason for his hospitalization was a heart attack, many conspiracy theories had risen about his sudden collapse, with the most popular one being that he was poisoned by a British or Soviet spy, though no evidence of these claims ever showed up. While Gaddafi was still alive, it was clear that his time was running out, and that he would now have to start deciding on who to succeed him as the leader of the Great Arab Jamahiriya.

At first, Gaddafi's oldest son Muhammad was regarded as a potential successor to Gaddafi, but this was shut down he stated he had no interest. Many other high ranking officials were also considered for the role, but in the end, Mahmood Hakim was chosen as his successor

Born in 1980 in Sayhut, Yemen, Hakim was the only child of his father Mohammed Hakim, who worked as a fisher man, and his mother Faazila Hakim, who worked at home. Hakims family would later move to Tripoli when he was only 3 years old, During the 2nd World War as bombings became more and more frequent over Tripoli, he and his family moved to Al Jawf. When he turned 18, he moved back to Libya and attended Tripoli University to persure a career in law. 3 Years later in 2001, he graduated. In 2012, Hakim would run and be elected as the mayor of Tripoli, and would end up having many interactions with Gaddafi. The 2 would end up having a cordial friendship, due to their very similar views on many different issues. In 2023, nearly a year after Gaddafi's stroke, he announced that Mahood Hakim would succeed him as the leader of the Great Arab Jamahiriya. During the last years of his rule, Gaddafi had started sending more aid to socialist and anti-colonial forces in Africa and Asia, such as those in Sudafrika, India, and Australia.

On September 28, 2028, after years of declining health, Gaddafi had died of a heart attack at the age of 85. At the very moment he passed away, Mahood Hakim had ascended to the role of the ruler of the Great Arab Jamahiriya. All flags in the country were lowered to half mast, and a week long mourning period was declared. On October 2nd, his funeral would begin, as his body was transported to Tripoli for burial. Leaders from all across the globe came to his funeral, such as Soviet General Secretary Gennady Zyuganov, British Chairman Keir Starmer, Indian President Amit Shah, French Chairman Oliver Faure, Mexican president Santiago Creel, German Chairwoman Sahra Wagenknecht, and of course, leaders from all across Africa came to pay tribute to Gaddafi, a staunch anti-colonialist. Even German Kaiser Georg Friedrich, his wife Sophie, and heir apparent Carl Friedrich came to his funeral. After all was said and done, the world moved on as usual.

Mahmood Hakim was in charge of a very large, populous, and powerful country, and now he would have to solidify his rule over the country. Hakim had wanted to continue his predecessor Gaddafi's legacy, while also making a name of his name. The Great Arab Jamahiriya was still a rather powerful country, and Hakim wanted to further the country's position on the world stage. He started by further improving the country's military and national security to prevent any threats, both foreign and domestic. He had also further continued the ongoing Jamahiriyan nuclear program, eventually leading to a successful nuclear test in the Sahara in 2034.

Hakim also wanted to improve relations with other foreign countries, and had sent tons of aid and supplies to the SSA during an ongoing rebellion in the south. Starting in 2031, both Tunisia and Algeria had begun negotiations to join the Great Arab Jamahiriya, and had both adopted the Arabian Dular as their currency, along with Syria, Transjordan, and Iraq. This also saw Iran join the League of Islamic Jamahiriya's.

Relations between Iran and the USSR had been slowly deteriorating, as many saw the Soviets not doing enough to help combat the Islamic National Iranian Front, a nationalist guerrilla group funded by Oman and Pakistan which saught to overthrow the socialist government and replace it with a strong, Islamic Republic. Many in Iran also feared that the Soviets would try and annex Iran into the USSR, and that the USSR was exploiting Iran and it's massive oil reserves. In 2028, Pejman Khalili had become the general secretary of the Socialist Republic of Iran, and was also a big fan of Gaddafi. In 2029, both signed an economic treaty, and had begun normalizing relations. By 2032, Iran had left the Internationale and by 2035 it had joined the League of Islamic Jamahiriya's, marking a big victory for both countries, as Jamairiyan aid marked a turning point in the INI guerrilla war, as the Iranian government was able to make more and more victories. One major part of Hakims agenda was to turn the Sahara green, in order to combat desertification, and to further improve living conditions in the area. Inspired by what the Soviets were doing in Central Asia during the 20th century, the project started in 2036, and started in the planting of millions of trees, as well as also the creation of many new fresh water lakes to encourage people to move to the southern regions of the country.

For the next decade and a half, the Great Arab Jamahiriya would remain mostly uneventful, with the exception of a assassination attempt on Mahmood Hakim in 2046. In 2056, a war would break out between Morocco and Algeria over border disputes. Ever since the 2010's, Morocco and Algeria had bitter relations with each other, as Algeria drifted towards Libya and the Jamahiriyan world, while Morocco went towards the Lyon Entente. Algeria had also been arming the Polisario Front, who were socialist rebels who wanted an independent Western Sahara, as they saw their annexation by Morocco after the 2nd World War to be unfair. Because of this among other regions, border clashes between the 2 countries became more and more common, leading to Morocco launching a full scale invasion of Algeria in April of 2056. Morocco's plan was to encircle big Algerian cities near the coast, where the vast majority of Algeria's population lived, which hoped that the Algerian government would surrender to Morocco. However, Algeria was much stronger than what Morocco and the Lyon Entente were anticipating, leading to a much longer and bloodier war. Of course, the Great Arab Jamahiriya and the rest of it's allies sent tons of aid to Algeria, making Algeria and Morocco at around the same level of military power.

In April of 2057, after years upon years of planning and negotiating, Tunisia had finally joined the Great Arab Jamahiriya, further increasing the countries power.

In May of 2058, the big turning point in the war occurred, as Algeria had joined Great Arab Jamahiriya, which was bad news for Morocco. Now with the full military might of the Great Arab Jamahiriya, Jamahiriyan forces were finally able to start pushing Moroccan forces out of the country. Despite defeat looking imminent, Moroccan dictator Hamdan El Haloui had wanted to keep fighting in order to "kill the Jamahiriyan beast". Despite this, Jamahiriyan forces made massive gains, as by January of 2059, Jamahiriyan forces captured Rabat, causing the Moroccan government to surrender and El Haloui to flee to Iberia. After the war, a pro Jamahiriyan regime was installed in Morocco, providing a huge advantage for the Arab Jamahiriya and a huge disadvantage for the Lyon Entente, as Morocco's loss in the war caused them to spiral into an energy crisis. Despite all of this success, Algeria was devastated by the war, as not only had Moroccan forces devastated many towns and cities near the border, but British and French forces had begun massive bombing over major Algerian cities, even more devastating the country. With the war now over and Algeria apart of the Great Arab Jamahiriya, the Jamahiriyan government had begun a massive reconstruction campaign in Algeria, to great success.

During the 60's, the Soviet bloc had started to collapse due to the failure to organize a post-industrial automated cybernetic socialist economy. This saw most of the Soviet Bloc fall to neoliberal revolutions, with a few exceptions. After the revolutions, the Lyon entente had begun to establish ties with the former countries of the Soviet Bloc.

Despite this major collapse, the socialist governments of Germany, Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Albania, Finland, and Turkey had survived. Not only that, but the Soviet Union was able to survive in it's SR's in southern Turkestan. Despite this, there was no clear leader to the socialist bloc, and some had begun to think the world's other socialist governments would collapse as well. Despite all of these theories, the Great Arab Jamahiriya was able to stand strong amongst all of the chaos, and had continued to implement it's greenification policies. The collapse of the Soviet Bloc did also bring some benefits to the Great Arab Jamahiriya, as Soviet aligned countries such as Ethiopia and Yemen had now begun to seek closer ties with the Great Arab Jamahiriya with the collapse of the Soviet Union, as they now needed new trading partners. The Great Arab Jamahiriya had also begun to aid Turkey in it's war against Greece. After the Soviet collapse, life in the Great Arab Jamahiriya had continued as normal, as the government had continued building towns and settlements in the newly greenified Sahara. In April of 2071, a war breaks out between pro-Lyon Somalia and pro-Jamahiriyan Ethiopia. With Britain and India sending troops and military support to Somalia, the Great Arab Jamahiriya had begun sending support to Ethiopia, along with Sudan, which had elected a pro-Jamahiriyan government last year.

In 2073, nuclear missiles in Siam had unexpectedly went off, causing deaths in the millions, and massive destruction, This led to massive criticisms of the government, and world wide talks on what should be done with nukes, as technological advancements had caused nukes to be even deadlier than before. The same year in April, world leaders from all corners of the world had met in Tripoli, the former capital of the Great Arab Jamahirya, to decide the fate of nukes. By the end of the conference, everyone had agreed to the disarmament of nuclear weapons, and the banning of the creation of any new ones. With this decsion met, the Great Arab Jamahiriya had begun the dismantling of it's nuclear arsenal of 1.232. A few months later in December of 2073, Mahmood Hakim had died at the age of 92 due to a blood clot. Magdy Abdelsalam, an Egyptian general who had participated in the Algerian war, was chosen as Hakims successor back in 2068. Abdelsalam had promised to continue the legacies of Gaddafi and Hakim, and to "eliminate the capitalist terror machine at any means necessary".

In August of 2074, Hargesia congress had risen up in the Northern Somaliland region, with the goal of overthrowing the pro-British government.. By May of 2076, the Hargesia Congress was reorganized into the Republic of Somalia, and the main Somali government was overthrown and replaced with a military provisional government. In April of 2077, Ethiopia had annexed much of it's former lands that Somalia had taken from it during the 2nd World War, and by the next month, the war was declared over. Despite this, the Somali civil war still raged on, as the Great Arab Jamahirya, Sudan, and Ethiopia were now supporting the republic of Somalia against the pro-British military government. In September of 2077, the Republic of Somalia was transformed into the Socialist People's Somali Jamahiriya, as the government had many Socialist sympathizers. While the British backed military government tried to fight back, the new socialist government was able to fight back, and in November of 2080, the Somali military government had surrendered, ending nearly a decade of fighting in the region, which had now given the Jamahiriyan world a new ally, and a massive reconstruction campaign had begun. Despite this massive victory, new problems were emerging.

After decades of oil drilling in Antarctica and the north pole, much of the world's ice sheets had begun to melt, causing flooding of apocalyptic levels, causing most governments to build dams or implement other anti-flooding methods. The Great Arab Jamahiriya was no different, as dams around major coastal cities had begun construction, and other citizens living in coastal area's were relocated. While flooding occured in Libya, Tunisia, and Algeria, the major population centers were protected, sparing Libya from the devastation other countries were facing at the time. In June of 2080, after decades of separation from the 2 sides, the League of Islamic Jamahiriya's had joined the 2nd Comintern, which was established in 2068 between the remains of the Soviet Bloc. This caused much more military cooperation between the 2 sides, and increased trade. After this, the 80's were mostly peaceful for the Great Arab Jamahiriya, even with world tensions being at an all time high. In August of 2089, the long expected happened: a 3rd World War. As the Great Arab Jamahiriya began mobilization, the world was once again thrust into chaos
