The Muslims arrived in 640 CE, and started converting the local berber tribes to Islam, with little resistance from the tribes against conversion. The Anchor Island was uninhabited at that time and was conquered in 656 CE. Over time, it was starting to get inhabited by the Arabs and they eventually created the Ankur Caliphate in 744 CE, which was a vassal state of the much bigger [[Harithi Caliphate]]. The Caliphate's capital was Hayyum, on the west coast of the Anchor Island and it was home to many Arab astronomers of the 9th, 10th and 11th century. | ||
The Ankur Caliphate was engaged in crusades against [[Kakland|The Kakish Kingdoms]] in the 1210s and 1220s. in the 1st crusade , The Kysxka troops arrived on the Ankur Island in September 1218 and established the Anchur Empire which lasted for 5 years. The empire attempted to build cities, which are now popular touristic spots, in the occupied areas which were the Ankur Island and the Hani Peninsula. After those 5 years, the Ankur Caliphate along with foreign help manage to regain the Hani Peninsula and the northern part of Ankur Island. During the 2nd crusade, The Ankurids arrived on the Sugok Peninsula, occupied by the Stivir Kingdom, and now in the actual Northern [[Kakland]] and established the Kakla Caliphate in 1225. A minority of the native population converted to Islam and the Kakla Caliphate reigned until August 1228, when troops of the Kakish Kingdoms regained the area. Some Kakish persons in the area have Salamati-descent due to this crusade. The last crusade, the 3rd crusade took place in the late 1220s. The Anchor Empire tried to retake some land and besiege [[Hayyum]] in 1229. The siege failed due to bad organisation and the Ankurids replied with a big offensive all over the island, wiping the Anchor Empire from the map. | The Ankur Caliphate was engaged in crusades against [[Kakland|The Kakish Kingdoms]] in the 1210s and 1220s. in the 1st crusade , The Kysxka troops arrived on the Ankur Island in September 1218 and established the Anchur Empire which lasted for 5 years.

The Salimid Caliphate was established in ~1445 CE, with the first ruler being Ahmad I. The Caliphate was a marking point in the Salamati history, for creating and developing infrastructures like ports and cities, establishing trade routes and boosting the economy. The Salimid Caliphate had numerous capitals, including [[Dar Al Hamma]] (1445-1587/1802-1820), [[Ghafun]] (1587-1644), [[Asal]] (1644-1696), [[Douara]] (1696-1738) and [[Ankur]] (1738-1802). These cities benefitted from special treatment and better infrastructures than the other major cities that weren't capitals. | The Salimid Caliphate was established in ~1445 CE, with the first ruler being Ahmad I.

The most famous is Khaliq II (1495-1567/Reign from 1540-1563), who boosted the Salimid economy by opening new trade routes and developing the cotton industry, and led a great war against some Christian insurgents in 1556, which he won. This war permitted him to gain more popularity from the people, but fearing fanatism, jealousy and abandonment of Islam for a special cult dedicated to him made him step down from the throne in April 1563. He died 4 years later. Another famous caliph was Tariq II (1549-1616/Reign from 1599-1615), particularly known for his massacres and deportations, the most famous being the eradication of the Khaliwi Tribe in June-September 1605, after resisting against the authorities who tried to exploit them to farm cotton. As a result, the tribe was erased in a little less than 3 months. He also ordered the eradication of 4 other tribes who also refused to farm cotton for a total of 180,000 dead people under his reign. Tariq II lost his post of Caliph in February 1615, was judged in June of the same year and condemned to the death penalty as a result of his exactions. He was executed on January 26th 1616. | ||
The Caliphate collapsed in | The Caliphate collapsed in 1785 CE, due to lack of trade routes, an aging infrastructure and bad life quality. The Caliphate was divided in 3 provinces after the dissolution. | ||
During the three-states period, three dynasties emerged, with the leaders being the leader of the biggest tribe of the region. The [[Hammadid Dynasty]] rose up in the region of [[Dar Al Hamma]], the Muradid Dynasty in [[Ghafun]] and the [[Jibrilid Dynasty]] on the Ankur Island. The Hammadids were appointed as leader of the Salamati Trade Dependency during the [[Riamo|Riamese colonization]], alongside with a Riamese governor. | |||

In the night from May 15 1977 to May 16 1977, a young marshal called [[Jalil Al Kharrabi]], along with his friends, made a Coup d'état against the president of Salamat at this time, [[Majid Khummam]], who was abroad.

Jalil successfully seized power and at around 5:50 am on May 16 1977, he made a speech on the national radio, announcing that "the corrupt government was overthrown" and that "a new real socialist government, for the people, is in control". The people didn't know about the leader's name and his face until June 1st 1977, when he made his first public speech. | ||
However, he failed to govern the country, and all of his plans fell through in April 1981 after the assassination of [[Majid Muhammad]] in [[Gassasinia]], who criticized Jalil Al Kharrabi and his way of governing the country. This event led to a massive embargo on Salamat for more than 11 years. The country's currency, the [[Salamati Dinar]], suffered from inflation, the economy stagnated and regressed and youth unemployment was hitting new records, with over 60% in 1990. People revolted in November 1991 against youth unemployment and inflation, hurting the ego of the young marshal. He repressed the protests, which led to sanctions against Salamat and riots in multiple cities of Salamat. | However, he failed to govern the country, and all of his plans fell through in April 1981 after the assassination of [[Majid Muhammad]] in [[Gassasinia]], who criticized Jalil Al Kharrabi and his way of governing the country.

Elected politicians have | Elected politicians have little sway over Salamat. Instead, a [[List of Salamati deciders|group of unelected civilian and military "deciders", known as "the power"]], actually rule the country, and reportedly deciding who should be president. In recent years, many of these generals have died, retired, or been imprisoned. Previous president [[Janub Mohamed Al Jumiyin|Jumiyin]] put loyalists in key posts, notably at Salamoil, and secured constitutional amendments that made him re-electable indefinitely, until he was brought down in 2019 during protests. | ||
The head of state is the President of Salamat, who is elected for a five-year term. The president was formerly limited to two five-year terms, but a constitutional amendment passed by the Parliament on 20 February 2007 removed this limitation. The next presidential election was planned to be in October 2023, but widespread protests erupted in October 2018 against the president's fifth reelection, which resulted in President Jumiyin announcing his resignation in May 2019. [[Abd-El Rahman Jarruf]], an independent candidate, was elected as president after the election eventually took place on 18 May 2019. Protestors refused to recognise Jarruf as president, citing demands for comprehensive reform of the political system. Salamat has universal suffrage at 18 years of age. The President is the head of the army, the Council of Ministers and the High Security Council.

Salamat is a country located in North Thrismari, on the planet Anteria. It is bordered by the Anchor Lake to the south, Ouardania to the north, Khirmania to the east and Yryel to the west. It also has a maritime border with Ghashir.
History
Islamic Conquest and Early History
The area where Salamat is now established was pretty quiet and there were only some nomad berber tribes living there. The Muslims arrived in 640 CE, and started converting the local berber tribes to Islam, with little resistance from the tribes against conversion. The Anchor Island was uninhabited at that time and was conquered in 656 CE. Over time, it was starting to get inhabited by the Arabs and they eventually created the Ankur Caliphate in 744 CE, which was a vassal state of the much bigger Harithi Caliphate. The Caliphate's capital was Hayyum, on the west coast of the Anchor Island and it was home to many Arab astronomers of the 9th, 10th and 11th century.
The Ankur Caliphate was engaged in crusades against The Kakish Kingdoms in the 1210s and 1220s. in the 1st crusade , The Kysxka troops arrived on the Ankur Island in September 1218 and established the Anchur Empire which lasted for 5 years. The empire attempted to build cities, which are now popular touristic spots, in the occupied areas which were the Ankur Island and the Hani Peninsula. After those 5 years, the Ankur Caliphate along with foreign help manage to regain the Hani Peninsula and the northern part of Ankur Island. During the 2nd crusade, The Ankurids arrived on the Sugok Peninsula, occupied by the Stivir Kingdom, and now in the actual Northern Kakland and established the Kakla Caliphate in 1225. A minority of the native population converted to Islam and the Kakla Caliphate reigned until August 1228, when troops of the Kakish Kingdoms regained the area. Some Kakish persons in the area have Salamati-descent due to this crusade. The last crusade, the 3rd crusade took place in the late 1220s. The Anchor Empire tried to retake some land and besiege Hayyum in 1229. The siege failed due to bad organisation and the Ankurids replied with a big offensive all over the island, wiping the Anchor Empire from the map.
The Ankur Caliphate was annexed by the Harithi Caliphate in 1296 CE.
Salimid Caliphate
The Salimid Caliphate was established in ~1445 CE, with the first ruler being Ahmad I. The Caliphate was a marking point in the Salamati history, for creating and developing infrastructures like ports and cities, establishing trade routes and boosting the economy. The Salimid Caliphate had numerous capitals, including Dar Al Hamma (1445-1587/1802-1820), Ghafun (1587-1644), Asal (1644-1696), Douara (1696-1738) and Ankur (1738-1802). These cities benefitted from special treatment and better infrastructures than the other major cities that weren't capitals.
The Salimid Caliphate counts a total of 19 caliphs from the foundation to the collapse of the Caliphate. The most famous is Khaliq II (1495-1567/Reign from 1540-1563), who boosted the Salimid economy by opening new trade routes and developing the cotton industry, and led a great war against some Christian insurgents in 1556, which he won. This war permitted him to gain more popularity from the people, but fearing fanatism, jealousy and abandonment of Islam for a special cult dedicated to him made him step down from the throne in April 1563. He died 4 years later. Another famous caliph was Tariq II (1549-1616/Reign from 1599-1615), particularly known for his massacres and deportations, the most famous being the eradication of the Khaliwi Tribe in June-September 1605, after resisting against the authorities who tried to exploit them to farm cotton. As a result, the tribe was erased in a little less than 3 months. He also ordered the eradication of 4 other tribes who also refused to farm cotton for a total of 180,000 dead people under his reign. Tariq II lost his post of Caliph in February 1615, was judged in June of the same year and condemned to the death penalty as a result of his exactions. He was executed on January 26th 1616.
The Caliphate collapsed in 1785 CE, due to lack of trade routes, an aging infrastructure and bad life quality. The Caliphate was divided in 3 provinces after the dissolution. During the three-states period, three dynasties emerged, with the leaders being the leader of the biggest tribe of the region. The Hammadid Dynasty rose up in the region of Dar Al Hamma, the Muradid Dynasty in Ghafun and the Jibrilid Dynasty on the Ankur Island. The Hammadids were appointed as leader of the Salamati Trade Dependency during the Riamese colonization, alongside with a Riamese governor.
Riamese Colonization
The Riamese first set foot on Salamati soil on March 4 1828 at Dar Al Hamma. A battle was engaged between the Dar Al Hamma Province and the Riamese on the 5th of March and resulted in a Riamese victory on May 20th. Most tribes were friendly with the Riamese, eventually forming an alliance and making them prevail over the rebel tribes. The rebels were led by Abd Al Fattah al Salimat, known for the battle of Ghafun (June 27th 1830-August 1st 1830), the battle of Sidi Kherridj (January 8th 1831-February 12th 1831) and the battle of Mansujah (March 10th 1831-March 25th 1831). After more than 10 years of active resistance, Abd Al Fattah Al Salimat surrenders in 1843. The resistance still went on and fought 2 more years before being destroyed. The Riamese first established the trade dependency of Salamat and reorganized the territory in 1848 and also appointed leaders of some of the friendly tribes as governors of the province. The governors had to pay taxes to the Riamese Empire in exchange of trade and land protection. There were also some cultural mixing between the Riamese and the Salamati, forming a mixed ruling class for decision-making and creating a false sentiment of respect.
The Riamese then started exploiting cotton resources in the mid-19th century, creating underpaid jobs for the locals. If the locals refused, the Riamese would slowly take their goods until they accept to farm. Due to the lack of workers, the Riamese sent Gassasinians in Salamat to farm cotton. The first Gassasinians arrived in 1878 in Hani, and the mixing between Gassasinians and Salamatis,the use of the same language and the practice of the same religion created a friendly rivalry between Gassasinians and Salamatis, and to this day, there are an estimated 110,000 Gassasinians in Salamat, mostly of Christian and Shia Muslim confession.
The poor living conditions of the Salamati was a reason for some to emigrate to Riamo in order to live decently. This emigration started in 1914 and ended in the mid-1920s. The consequences of the emigration was the creation of a Salamati intellectual class, who later advocated for the independence of Salamat. An intellectual named Anwar Al Harrani created the Salamati Star party in 1931, an independentist party who will later be involved in many revolts of the people, most notably the Jurhan Revolt on May 9 1934, where an estimated 30 000 Salamatis protested on the street with Salamati independentist flags, this pissed off the Riamese authorities who opened fire on the protesters. Some furious protesters, in response to this massacre, killed Riamese civilians. A small group of Riamese civilians were with the military and killed innocent Salamatis. Historians estimate that at least 7 500 Salamatis, 425 Riamese (civilians) and 200 soldiers were killed during this revolt and believe it was one of the reasons for an independence war.
Independence War
Al Kharrabi's regime
In the night from May 15 1977 to May 16 1977, a young marshal called Jalil Al Kharrabi, along with his friends, made a Coup d'état against the president of Salamat at this time, Majid Khummam, who was abroad. Jalil successfully seized power and at around 5:50 am on May 16 1977, he made a speech on the national radio, announcing that "the corrupt government was overthrown" and that "a new real socialist government, for the people, is in control". The people didn't know about the leader's name and his face until June 1st 1977, when he made his first public speech.
However, he failed to govern the country, and all of his plans fell through in April 1981 after the assassination of Majid Muhammad in Gassasinia, who criticized Jalil Al Kharrabi and his way of governing the country. This event led to a massive embargo on Salamat for more than 11 years. The country's currency, the Salamati Dinar, suffered from inflation, the economy stagnated and regressed and youth unemployment was hitting new records, with over 60% in 1990. People revolted in November 1991 against youth unemployment and inflation, hurting the ego of the young marshal. He repressed the protests, which led to sanctions against Salamat and riots in multiple cities of Salamat. He also rose tensions between Salamat and the neighbor country of Khirmania, leading to a 2-week war (see Salamati-Khirmanian war and Salamati-Khirmanian tensions for more info).
Jalil Al Kharrabi was overthrown on February 3 1992 and was replaced by Mohammed Jandubi.
Salamati Civil War
Geography and Climate
Geographic features
Salamati geography is defined by a mountain chain in the northwestern part of the country, named the Khaliwi Mountain Chain, hills in the interior of the Hani peninsula in the south-east, a plateau spanning from the west to east of the country and some hills near Ghafun, in the southwest. Three major rivers (called "oued") flow in Salamat ; the Oued Labkheir, whose source is located in the Khaliwi mountains and flows in the western part of the country. It defines the border between the Ghafunya and Shawawiyah provinces and ends into the Anchor Lake. The Oued Harr forms near of the Oued Labkheir but flows into the northeastern part of the country and ends into the Harr Lake. Both are used for cotton farming and are drying up ; The Harr Lake's surface area in 1985 was of 3,200 km²; now it is only of 1,910 km². The third major river is the Oued Madani. It also takes its source from the Khaliwi Mountains, flows eastward along with the Oued Harr close to it, then turns southward and then westward to end in the Anchor Lake, between the cities of Al Muhni and Jadhab. It is also used for cotton farming but not as much as the Oued Harr.
The highest point of Salamat is the Chengrouh, culminating at a height of 5739 meters above sea level in the Khaliwi Mountain Chain. The lowest point is the Harraj Depression at 18 meters under sea level.
Climate
Globally, the climate is a tropical savanna climate, defined by the Koppen Climate Classification by Aw in the continental part of the country and on Ankur Island (dry winter climate). In the northwestern part of the country, in the Khaliwi moutain chain, the climate is a highland subhumid temperate climate (Koppen : Cwb), with dry and cool winters and milder and wetter summers. Some areas of the mountain chain even feature an alpine climate (Koppen : ETH).
Politics
Elected politicians have little sway over Salamat. Instead, a group of unelected civilian and military "deciders", known as "the power", actually rule the country, and reportedly deciding who should be president. In recent years, many of these generals have died, retired, or been imprisoned. Previous president Jumiyin put loyalists in key posts, notably at Salamoil, and secured constitutional amendments that made him re-electable indefinitely, until he was brought down in 2019 during protests.
The head of state is the President of Salamat, who is elected for a five-year term. The president was formerly limited to two five-year terms, but a constitutional amendment passed by the Parliament on 20 February 2007 removed this limitation, before being reinstated in 2019. The next presidential election was planned to be in October 2023, but widespread protests erupted in October 2018 against the president's fifth reelection, which resulted in President Jumiyin announcing his resignation in May 2019. Abd-El Rahman Jarruf, an independent candidate, was elected as president after the election eventually took place on 18 May 2019. Protestors refused to recognise Jarruf as president, citing demands for comprehensive reform of the political system. Salamat has universal suffrage at 18 years of age. The President is the head of the army, the Council of Ministers and the High Security Council. He appoints the Prime Minister who is also the head of government. The president also appoints the wali, which presides one of the ten provinces of Salamat.
Provinces (1st-level subdivisions) and communes (3rd-level subdivisions) each have an assembly, respectively named People's Provincial Assemblies (PPA) and People's Communal Assemblies (PCA). The PPAs are presided by the wali, and they vote 200 of the 250 members of the National Council. The PCAs are presided by the mayor of the commune.
The Salamati parliament is bicameral; the lower house, the National Assembly of Salamat, has 460 members who are directly elected for five-year terms, while the upper house, the National Council, has 250 members serving six-year terms, of which 200 members are chosen by local assemblies and 50 are appointed by the president. According to the constitution, no political association may be formed if it is "based on differences in religion, language, race, gender, profession, or region". In addition, political campaigns must be exempt from the aforementioned subjects.
