Ismail III (Gheiravic: إسماعيل بن عبد الرحمن, Transliteration: Ismā’īl ibn ʿAbd ar-Raḥman al-‘Aydarūs, 1 April 1957 - 31 December 1996) was the last recognized King of Fahran, ruling from 29 November 1988 until his forced abdication on 11 December 1996 in the wake of the December Intifada. His reign saw a continued decline in the prestige of Fahran, which had effectively ceased to be a regional power in the aftermath of the Fahran-Habasha War, and presided over a pair of severe economic recessions in 1991 and 1995 that left the government teetering on the brink of collapse. Despite the advice of his liberal-minded Prime Minister Mohammed Moghadam, appointed at the close of 1991, Ismail was slow to implement the democratic reforms that had been promised when Sabir Afzal Rahmani stepped down as dictator in 1988 and, after a quarrel, Moghadam was dismissed and replaced with the more conservative Daoud al-Ghazawi. He was notably suspicious of neoliberal trade policies, maintaining high tariffs and stringent price controls even as inflation made basic commodities non-affordable for many of his subjects. His refusal to abolish shipping fees on freighters passing through the Strait of Asmara put immense strain on his diplomatic relations with Midrasia and Qal'eh, and only served to further alienate wealthy industrialists and magnates within Fahran, who found the favoritism shown to the aristocratic class stifling and injudicious.
