The **Big Man Caliphate**, also known as the Big Man Sphere of Influence, is an intergovernmental organisation and political union of 59 countries in Africa and the Middle East that are ruled by Big Man. Founded in 2001 by former oh dear player Big Man, after the terrorist attacks by Al-Qaeda and other groups, to help stabilize the Middle East, the Caliphate continued to expand all the way down to Big Man's homeland of DR Congo and to Iraq and Iran. Though some countries and member states joined peacefully, some like Lebanon and Saudi Arabia did not and were incorporated through wars and fighting. In 2022 Saudi Arabia was removed from the Big Man Caliphate by the United Nations after it was found that the Sodiqan armies breached the Geneva Convention numerous times and therefore committed multiple war crimes.

## History

### Origins

After the 9/11 terrorist attacks in America by Muslin extremist groups, the need for stability was gaining. The leaders of multiple countries, primarily in the Middle East, came together at the Basrah Conference to discuss future plans to improve protection for terrorist organisations and improve relations with the west. After months of negotiations and with the help of delegates from the United Nations and the European Union, the Big Man Caliphate was officially established in December 2001 following the signing of the Treaty of Amman

### Initial Years (2001-2003)

The Caliphate started of with instability with the leaders of the countries involved struggling to find a way to share power amongst themselves. The main leader of the negotiations and elected President by member states, Big Man, proposed a system similar to large countries and the EU with a Parliament and a Cabinet. This proposal was widely accepted, but due to insufficient funds and lack of outside support this plan was postponed

### Sodiqan Expansion (2003-2009)

Between the years of 2003 all the way to 2009, Big Man and his forces marched across the middle east and throughout Africa, incorporating any country it came into. Some of the toughest battles since World War II were fought with the Invasion of Lebanon, the Siege of Riyadh and the Battle of Tripoli being the bloodiest

### Treaties of Temara and Kinshasa (2009-2011)

In 2009, after 7 years of talks, the Treaty of Temara was finally signed which opened up the Temara Area, letting millions of people, goods and services travel across Africa and the Middle East.

In 2011, following the 10 year anniversary of the Caliphate's formation, the Treaty of Kinshasa was signed which brought into affect the Caliphate Parliament and Cabinet and upon the completion of their buildings in Kinshasa, they had their own place of work

### Treaty of Alexandria (2011-2020)

The Treaty of Alexandria in 2011 opened up the Big Man Caliphate to allow countries to join after a referendum from the people and a vote in the Caliphate Senate and Parliament. The referendums need to achieve at least 51% of votes to join the Caliphate in order to proceed to the votes in the Caliphate Parliament which need at least a 60/40 majority for the country to finally be incorporated into the Caliphate. After they have joined, they must choose to become a member of the Temara Area and hold an election to select their MCPs (Member of the Caliphate Parliament)

### UN Investigations and Interventions (2020-present)

In April of 2022, the United Nations announced an investigation in relation to Big Man's assets and influence in Saudi Arabia which resulted in the UN removing Saudi Arabia from the Big Man Caliphate and removing all of his assets there. In 2023, Big Man was detained in the The Hague but before he could be questioned, he was assassinated by ISIS.

## Member States
