The official languages are Arabic, Mauri, and French. Becuase of its unique location Caraibes as developed a vibrant culture that is a mix of traditional Mauri, with Arab, African, and European heritage. Its capital is Niani, while its largest city is Abidjan. 
 
The region known presently as Caraïbes has been inhabited for nearly 60,000 years, which is since the Paleothic Era. In 711 AD Mari Djata, a local noble in the Mande region established himself as the first King of Caraïbes, and the first monarch of the long lasting Sahel dynasty. The most notable monarch of the dynasty beside the founder was  Musa Kankou the Great, whose wealth was so vast that he was said to be the richest man to ever live. The Kingdom of [[Coventrey]], a nominal vassel of the Sahelian empire declared independence from the Sahelian empire in 1190, by then Caraïbes was in a serious decline, the last moderately effective King being Mamadou IV whose sixty-three year long reign began promising only for it to be dashed  as a result of the continued desintigration of the Caraibean empire. The Sahel dynasty after lasting 500 years was overthrown by a rival noble house in 1269 AD. Successive dynasties, the Duguwa (1269 AD - 1452 AD), Ghaniya (1452 AD - 1536 AD), and Shurafa (1536 AD - 1664 AD) all tried to replicate the earlier successes of the Sahelian dynasty.
 
In 1664, Sharif Idris, a reported descendant of the Prophet Muhammed seized power from the last Shurafa King establishing the Idrisid dynasty, that continues to rule today. The Kingdom established itself as a semi-constitutional monarchy in the 19th century and began the process of industrialization.
 
Caraïbes despite the occassional ethnic skirmishes between the country's three major religious groups, is considered to be a resonably stable and prosperous country with a robust liberal economy with the government controlling key sectors. In the area of foreign affairs, the kingdom tends to use its influence for the benefit of its allies and fellow nations earning it recognition as a middle power in its respective region. Caraïbes is a unitary semi-constitutional monarchy with an elected legislature. The executive arm of the government is overseen by the [[King of Caraïbes]] and the Grand Wazir; while legislative power is vested in the bicameral Gbara, consisting of the House of Amirs and the House of Representatives. The judicial arm of the government is vested in the Supreme Constitutional Court, which has authority to determine the interpretation of laws. The King in his role as sovereign of the nation has extraordinary executive, legislative, and judicial powers, which he by tradition only uses after consulting the Grand Wazir and the Constitutional Court.
 
==Etymology==
==History==
 
==Georgraphy==
The geography of Caraïbes varies from region to region, with the northernmost regions of the kingdom being very mountainous.
 
 
==Politics==
 
Caraïbes has been described by foreign critics as an authoritarian government in the guise of a constitutional monarchy. The 1935 constitution enshrines the principals of monarchism  in the country as well as allowing for seperation of legislature, judicial, and executive arms of the government. Over the past eighty years the King's executive powers have been limited which has added to the increased authority of the Grand Wazir in the affairs of the kingdom.
 
As a result of the King's descent from the Prophet Mohammed, the monarch is viewed as both a secular political leader as well as a Commander of the Faithful to the millions of Muslim subjects that make up the Caraibean kingdom. The current king is His Majesty King Mamadou XVII.
 
===Legislative===
Since at least the mediveal ages, the Gbara has existed as a advisory council to the King of Caraïbes. It was not until the 1900s that the Gbara began to take on the identity of a legislature. The bicameral Gbara is composed of two houses, the House of Amirs/Emirs and the House of Representatives. The house of Amirs is composed of 200 members appointed by the King from amongst the Caraibean nobility to serve life terms.
 
The lower house, called the House of Representatives is composed of 350 elected  members who serve five-year terms. While the Gbara's authority is still relatively limited when constrasted with the power of the crown, its authority has been expanded in the last couple decades in the arena of fiscal matters, passing legislation, and the critiquing of the national government.

Caraïbes is administratively divided into 12 regions, which are subdivided into X provinces, and 12 prefectures.
