'''Yahel''' dates back to 1427 AD when the holy prophet Lahdine gained enough influence with the people and with several military divisions to launch an independence war against its parent nation. With the help of several nobles and some hired mercenaries, the war ended in Lahdine's favour and thus led to '''Yahel''' occupying the northern Arabian Peninsula.

Once their presence was removed, Yahel focused on uniting the rest of Arabia. Most independent Arabian states refused annexation but in 1503 AD, Yahels former parent nation foolishly attacked. The resulting war was brutal. Next to no Yaheli prisoners were taken, most meeting death quickly after meeting with the enemy. Women and children were mercilessly slaughtered. Once word of this brutality made it to southern Arabia, it seemed that the independent states were ready to unite against a common enemy. The added strength of a united Arabia was enough to push back enemy forces and launch a counter-offensive into enemy territory. Yahel had its eyes set on one target. The holy land. After the war ended yet again in Yahels favour, things seemed perfect, but that was far from the truth. The annexation of the holy land only gave an even larger intensive to attack Yahel. The holy land switched hands what seemed constantly. Yahel repeatedly threw all of its forces at reclaiming Jerusalem every time it was taken. Several states saw each emperor's obsession with the holy land and broke away from the weakened empire when they had the chance. More often than not the next emperor would come along and reclaim the lost states, but several still lay outside of Yahel hands to this day. Around the 18th century Yahel gave up trying to permanently own Jerusalem and that was how it stayed until world war 1. During world war 1 Yahel was able to annex Jerusalem as well as Suez.

Yahel is a country in Western Asia occupying the entirety of The Arabian Peninsula. Yahel is bordered by Salamut to the west, Mbale to the south, as well as Kurdistan, Oghuz and Helmand to the north. Yahel is the current owner of Jerusalem and stakes claim the entirety of the red sea. Although claiming ownership of the red sea, Yahel only owns 3/4 of the red sea straights, whilst Mbale owns the remaining 1/4.

Yahel is currently the largest exporter of oil. Yahel also places #1 for oil reserves with an estimated 590,000MB still remaining.

History

Yahel dates back to 1427 AD when the holy prophet Lahdine gained enough influence with the people and with several military divisions to launch an independence war against its parent nation. With the help of several nobles and some hired mercenaries, the war ended in Lahdine's favour and thus led to Yahel occupying the northern Arabian Peninsula. The next hundred years were spent removing the rest of the parent nations influence from the remainder of northern and central Arabia. Once their presence was removed, Yahel focused on uniting the rest of Arabia. Most independent Arabian states refused annexation but in 1503 AD, Yahels former parent nation foolishly attacked. The resulting war was brutal. Next to no Yaheli prisoners were taken, most meeting death quickly after meeting with the enemy. Women and children were mercilessly slaughtered. Once word of this brutality made it to southern Arabia, it seemed that the independent states were ready to unite against a common enemy. The added strength of a united Arabia was enough to push back enemy forces and launch a counter-offensive into enemy territory. Yahel had its eyes set on one target. The holy land. After the war ended yet again in Yahels favour, things seemed perfect, but that was far from the truth. The annexation of the holy land only gave an even larger intensive to attack Yahel. The holy land switched hands what seemed constantly. Yahel repeatedly threw all of its forces at reclaiming Jerusalem every time it was taken. Several states saw each emperor's obsession with the holy land and broke away from the weakened empire when they had the chance. More often than not the next emperor would come along and reclaim the lost states, but several still lay outside of Yahel hands to this day. Around the 18th century Yahel gave up trying to permanently own Jerusalem and that was how it stayed until world war 1. During world war 1 Yahel was able to annex Jerusalem as well as Suez.

On November Sixth, 1989, Yahel saw a large swing in ideology. The Yahelans began embracing the socialist ideology from the north and many Socialist groups began emerging. The emperor did little to stop it which let them build up momentum. Eventually, a referendum was called to discuss this large scale conversion. The referendum posed the question of whether or not Yahel should remain an absolute monarchy. It was voted on and monarchy remained in Yahel. In addition to this event, Emperor Haldune III of Yahel was removed from his position of emperor and a new monarch took his place. The new emperor cracked down on the socialist movements, censoring their message, ending their protests and oppressing their people. At this time a reporter was dispatched to report on the rising tensions between the socialists and the government but went missing after entering a royal guard protected zone. It was later found out that the reporter was killed by the order of the emperor. This is what led to what is known as the Yahelian Socialist Movement. The YSM (Which the war is named after) was the largest Socialist group on Yahel. During the time of rising tensions, the YSM began stockpiling food, meds, and general supplies. In addition, they were also importing weapons from under the radar suppliers. After the reporter was found out dead, the YSM militarised and launched an offensive against Jerusalem. The YSM took this point due to the fact that the Royal guard would never invade and risk the destruction of the holy land. After several skirmishes, the YSM was recognized as the legitimate government on Yahel by several nations. With their support, the monarchy surrendered to the YSM, allowing them to take control of the nation, ushering in the new Yahelian government.

Geography

Yahel is located in the Arabian subcontinent, which lays upon the Arabian plate. The most prominent feature of Yahel is desert, but in the southwest, there are mountain ranges, which receive greater rainfall than the rest of Yahel. Harrat ash Shaam is a large volcanic field that extends from northwestern Yahel onward. Most of Yahel is unsuited to agriculture, making irrigation and land reclamation projects essential. The narrow coastal plain and isolated oases, amounting to less than 1% of the land area, are used to cultivate grains, coffee, and tropical fruits. Goat, sheep, and camel husbandry is widespread elsewhere throughout the rest of the nation.

Climate

Yahel has few lakes or permanent rivers. Most areas are drained by ephemeral watercourses called wadis, which are dry except during the rainy season. Plentiful ancient aquifers exist beneath much of the nation, however, and where this water surfaces, oases form (e.g. Al-Hasa and Qatif, two of the world's largest oases) and permit agriculture, especially palm trees, which allowed the nation to produce more dates than any other nation in the world. In general, the climate is extremely hot and arid, although there are exceptions. Higher elevations are made temperate by their altitude, and the Arabian Sea coastline can receive surprisingly cool, humid breezes in summer due to cold upwelling offshore. Yahel has no thick forests. Desert-adapted wildlife is present throughout the region.

Environment

Currently, Yahel stands at around 10th on the top carbon emission producers and contributes approximately 2% of the words current CO2 output. No caps have been placed on CO2 emissions for industries within Yahel, nor have almost any environmental laws been put in place. With the majority of Yahel being desert, and those deserts holding vast amounts of oil, oil stained stretches of sand are far from uncommon.

Politics and Government

Yahel was under an absolute monarchy since its independence in 1427 AD. The royal family had stayed of the same dynasty for the entire time and had not been usurped, although had come close several times. Although absolute monarchy allows for direct control of the nation, the emperor often delegated power to powerful vassals in order to reduce the stress on their position. Vassals were divided into 3 classes. Kings, Dukes, and Counts. There were 6 dukes and two kings. The two king titles were the kingdom of Arabia and Jerusalem. The Kingdom of Arabia was always in possession of the emperor whilst the kingdom of Jerusalem was gifted to the most powerful religious head when the current king passed away.

After the Yahelian Socialist Movement, Yahel changed from an absolute monarchy to a workers council. The leader/chancellor is chosen by a council of 20, which represent the 20 largest labour unions, which are made up by the people.

Military

Yahel's military is relatively small but on the decently trained side. Totalling at ~175k military personnel, only around 20% is direct infantry. In an attempt to reduce military casualty's Yahel focuses on long distance engagements as well as clever tactics to deploy as little infantry as possible.

Foreign Relations

Yahel is one of the founding members of the APSIA organisation, granting them a permanent seat on the security council. Aside from APSIA, Yahel has tight relations with their close neighbours such as Pavlovsk, Songjiang, and Lasir. Pavlovsk and Songjiang were two of the nations that supported the Yahelian Socialist Movement, which earned them their close relations with the current government.

Yahel is currently apart of two organisations, economic pact, Glascom and military pact, CSAT.

Yahel holds Jall A.T. as a integrated union state, acting as the nation main corridor into South Asia. In addition Yahel also hold East Azerbaijan as another integrated union state. Overseas territories of Yahel include Sinhala, Hong Kong and the St. Benis Island.

Economy

Yahel’s economy is largely made up of the oil sector with a budding manufacturing and chemical sector.

Energy

The largest centres of energy production come from the crude oil industry. With the capacity to refine oil locally, Yahel is able to consume its own oil to power the entire nation. In addition, Natural gasses heavily contribute to the production of energy and certain corporations have looked into harvesting one of Yahel's largest flow resources, the Red Sea. Hydroelectric facilities have begun surveying coastal areas of the Red Sea in order to set up generators in order to focus the most amount of oil on exports instead of consumption. Yahel's 3 largest electricity corporations are Arabian Electric INC, Spark Flow International, and Broad Motors.

Industry

The main industry of Yahel is its oil industry. Having the largest oil reserves in the world and being the #1 exporter. Its full list of major industries is as follows; Crude oil production petroleum refining petrochemicals ammonia industrial gases sodium hydroxide cement fertiliser plastics metals ship repair aircraft repair construction

Infrastructure

Yahel's infrastructure is lacking behind other average nations. With such a large concentration of deserts, infrastructure can be a hardship. Some areas of Yahel still remain barren and without any infrastructure. The government attempted to breach those areas in 1920, but progress has been slow.

Around the 1990's Yahel began heavily investing in mass infrastructure development to compensate for the mass immigration of Mbale refugees. Such has bolstered Yahel's overall development, yet still lacks in contrast to the new population. During 1993, a 150Bn loan was acquired from the government of Pavlovsk. The majority of this loan was designated towards a full overhaul of Yemen's heavily underdeveloped infrastructure, with things such as new paved roads, an expanded power grid and water treatment facilities. When completed, Yemen is expected to reach national standards for infrastructure. In addition, approximately 50Bn of the loan was diverted to optimise infrastructure connecting Yahel to its neighbours such as Oghuz and Salamut.

Transport

Yahellian citizens mostly depend on personal vehicles for their transportation. With suppliers such as Songjiang and Grandi Alberi providing vehicles and Yahels oil production, citizens can safely look to cars as their dependent form of transport. In certain areas of Yahel in which roads are lacking, public transport has been set up. Trains, trolleys, and busses are set up to assist in movement within these areas.

Demographics

Education

In Yahel, children aged 3–5 years go to kindergarten. However, attendance of kindergartens is not a prerequisite for enrolment of first grade of primary education and kindergartens are not part of the official education ladder.

Primary education in Yahel lasts six years, and children at the age of 6 enter the first grade of primary education. All national primary schools are day schools and are not co-educational. In order to move on to intermediate education, children must pass the examination at the end of Grade 6 of primary school and obtain the Elementary Education Certificate.

Secondary education in Yahel lasts three years and this is the final stage of general education. After the intermediate education, students have the opportunity for both general and specialised secondary education. Technical secondary institute which provide technical and vocational education and training programs lasts three years in the fields of industry, commerce and agriculture.

Higher education in Yahel lasts four years in the field of humanities and social sciences, and five to six years in the field of medicine, engineering and pharmacy. The establishment of the Emperor Haldune University in 1957 was the starting point of the modern higher education system in Saudi Arabia.

Religion

Yahel is Islamic and follows Suni Islam as well as Judaism, and Mbale Catholicism to some extent. The official religion of Yahel is Islam. Yahel has incorporated nearly all Islamic holy sites into the nation, making Yahel the main defender of Islam.

Culture

Due to Yahel's vast viriaty of ethnic groups that once had and currently do inhabit the area, a unified singular culture cannot be extracted. Several cultural groups that are pressent include: Western European (Brittish Colonization), North and East African (Immigration and Ancient Trade Routes), Southern/Eastern European (Subjigation Under Izmir), Native Arabian, East Asian (Chinese Cooperation) and South Asian (Immigration From India).

Music and Art

Franco-Arabic music is a popular form of West-meets-East style of music, similar in many respects to modern Arabic Pop. This blend of western and eastern music was popularized by artists such as Dalida (Egypt), Sammy Clark (Lebanon), and Aldo from Australia. Although Franco-Arabic music includes many forms of cross-cultural blending between the West and the Middle East, musically the genre crosses over many lines as is seen in songs that incorporate Arabic and Italian, Arabic and French and, of course, Arabic and English styles or lyrics.

There has also been a rise of R&B, reggae and hip hop influenced Arab music in the past couple of years. These songs usually feature a rapper in a traditional Arab pop song (such as Foat Gucker's song 'Qatar Al-Habibi'). The Moroccan singer Elam Jay developed a contemporary version of the Gnawa genre that is fused with R&B which he named Gnawitone Styla.

Another popular form of West meets East, Arabic jazz is also popular, with many songs using jazz instruments. Early jazz influences began with the use of the saxophone by musicians like Samir Suroor, in the "oriental" style. The use of the saxophone in that manner can be found in Abdel Halim Hafez's songs, as well as Kadim Al Sahir and Rida Al Abdallah today. The first mainstream jazz elements were incorporated into Arabic music by the Rahbani brothers. Fairuz's later work was almost exclusively made up of jazz songs, composed by her son Ziad Rahbani. Ziad Rahbani also pioneered today's oriental jazz movement, to which singers including Rima Khcheich, Salma El Mosfi, and (on occasion) Latifa adhere. We can also find a lot of jazz music in Mohamed Mounir's songs starting from his first album Alemony Eneeki in 1977, and he is considered to be the King of Arabic Jazz and Arabic Music generally.

Rock music is popular all around the world, the Arab world being no exception. There have been many Arab rock bands along the years that fused rock, metal and alternative rock sounds with traditional Arab instruments.

Arabic religious music includes Jewish (Pizmonim and Baqashot), Christian, and Islamic music. However, Islamic music, including the Tajwid or recitation of Qur'an readings, is structurally equivalent to Arabic secular music, while Christian Arab music has been influenced by Syriac Orthodox, Catholic, Greek Orthodox, Anglican, Coptic, and Maronite church music.

Cuisine

Yahellian cuisine is the cuisine of the Arabs, defined as the various regional cuisines spanning the Arab world, from the Maghreb to the Fertile Crescent and the Arabian Peninsula. The cuisines are often centuries old and reflect the culture of great trading in spices, herbs, and foods. The three main regions, also known as the Maghreb, the Fertile Crescent, and the Arabian Peninsula have many similarities, but also many unique traditions. These kitchens have been influenced by the climate, cultivating possibilities, as well as trading possibilities. The kitchens of the Maghreb and Levant are relatively young kitchens that were developed over the past centuries. The kitchen from the Khaleej region is a very old kitchen. The kitchens can be divided into urban and rural kitchens.

The Yahellian cuisine uses specific and sometimes unique foods and spices. Some of those foods are:
