Zubaydah, Officially the Federal State of Zubaydah, is a country located in the Agoanatolian Subcontinent. It borders Kerman to the North, and Savatria to the East, the Erythorean Sea to the West, and the Lakhimadian Gulf to the south. Zubaydah is the only country with coastline on both the Erthorean Sea and Lakhimadian Gulf. Its capital is Muzayria, which is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world. Its largest city is Qabr Thaqafi, a Port City located in the Far South along the Lakhimadian Gulf. It was renamed in 1951 to commemorate a local shrine to a Shahib Jabr Ali ibn Hussayn al-Thaqafi. However the city remains more commonly known by its Argeo-Tiberian name, Khorisa. Zubaydah is also home to the cities of Menkhalla, and Biqaylah, which are two of the most Holy Sites in Nahjiyyah.
Jahiliyyah Zubaydah has some of the earliest example of habitation of early anatomically modern humans. With locations in Zuffah Az-Rumellah and Asaq Jabr showing human habitation as early as 60,000 years ago. Early polytheistic civilizations like the Lakhimad, Abbacaenneans, Ctepterians, and the Varvanoi dominated the region with archeological evidence backing up their existence as described by Anciennt Argean Historian Hypatos of Artacea. Nahjiyyah would be founded by the Prophet Ubaydullah in the city of Menkhalla where it quickly spread outside of the region. The follower of Ubaydullah, Abdul Wadud would found the Amjadi Dynesty which conqured much of the older Casorphasian Argean People and Japhitic Tribes. The Aftermath of the the Battle of Biqaylah and the end of the Karitha meant that Abdul Wadud's teaching of Nahjiyyah gained fafor amongst the political class, as Nahjiyyah expanded its influence with the expansion of the Amjadi. These Proto-Sharafi establsihed themselves as the dominant religious class in the region. however a rival school of thought would become more prominant in the east, as the old Savatrian Empire converted from !Zorroastrianism to the sect of Nahjiyyah as pioneered by Ubaydullah divine son Abd-al Qayyum. these Qayyumites (Proto-Bentanis) would eventually depose the Amjadis and establish the Yasharaf Caliphate in 1078. Under the leadership of Caliph Ishaq ibn Nuh ibn Habaquq al-Sarwati the Yasharafi would control territories in Mauria and South Erisia. The Yasharafi would be followed by the Zargushid Dynasty, of Shushani origin the dynasty would rule until the Uzayrid Rebellion of 1237, which itself would become quickly conqured by the Kerman. The Kerman would rule over much of what is today Zubaydah between 1372 and 1915. The Khatt Revolt between 1909 and 1915 would dislodge Kerman authority in the region and would lead to the establishment of multiple petty kingdoms and colonial mandates. The Mandates would be granted independence in the aftermath of the 2nd Great War, with the Kingdom of Balqaa, Qusayr Republic, and the Imamate of Menkhalla becoming the largest of the multiple Khattian States. !British defeat in Qusayr established the Party for National Liberation and Popular Democracy (al-Hizbu) as a Pan-Khattiist political movement made up of individual cells called resistance committees, themselves led by the Thulathi. Between 1952 and 1983 a series of conflicts as pursued by al-Hizbu called the Wihda would see Invasions and Revolutions sweep through the Khattian world. With the formal incorporation of the Imamate of Mankhalla in 1983 the Federal State of Zubaydah would be proclaimed.
Zubaydah is considered a regional power in the Near East, and a middle power globally. Zubaydah is a developing emerging economy Ranked 27th in the world by nominal GDP. Since the Fayruziy Miracle in the early 2000's the Zubaydi economy has been diversified and centered around petroleum and chemical industry along with emerging tourism and information and communications technology sectors. Zubaydah is a founding member of the Forum of Nations, Maurian-Erisian Strategic Vision Group, and the E10 Economic Forum.

Zargushid and Uzayrid Period
After the Fall of Ayun al-Tabsur in 1147, the Yasharaf Caliphate would fall. the Zargush tribe of the Falat-e Bur region would consolidate political control over the area. Hasanwayh ibn Badr Zargushi was a prominent military commander of the Yasharafi Neyzemardan and had significant political connection within the court of the Caliph Abdulredha III. Allowing his large ethnic Shushani tribe to take over administration after the Suriqoymaqlar took over much of the Caliphates eastern frontier. During the Suriqoymaqlar Invasion, the Zargushids would be pushed from their native lands and retain power in the city of Aysha along the caliphates western coast.
The Zargushids would retain control and fight off subsequent invasions from the Sariqoymaqlar. the agricultural regions of the caliphate would be devastated, ushering in the Zargushid Regression. A period marked by continued military conflict and food insecurity which helped in causing the fall of the older Yasharaf and Ajmadi intellectual infrastructure. The Zargushid period saw the rise of thinkers like Taqiy al-Din ibn Fadlillah al-Jawziyya, and Ali Hussayn ibn Abdullah al-Balkhi who formulated the early al-Asl movement within Najiyyah. The theology of the Revivalist was of mixed influence and sought to bring about a religion which was more in line with the supposed teaching of Ubaydullah. leading them to a more fundamentalist approach which had not really been seen in the faith beforehand. Al-Balkhi himself was the pioneer of the legal concept of Jihad al-Tathir, of Holy War for Purification (of the faith). He used this concept when issuing a Fatwa against the Suriqoumaqlari Sultanate of Künilyi. Stipulating that while the Sultanate was nominally Talibani, it failed to hold up key aspects of talibani law and custom. This, in his view, made them kafir (nonbelievers) and that they should be fought in order to purify the religion of Bid'ah (innovation).
During this period the Maʿquliyya tradition faltered under the weight of a growing al-Taqwaa tradition initiated by the Asliy movement. Soon this tradition entered the court of the Caliph Hussayn ibn Hasanwayh Zargushi who took to its more restrictive and originalist leanings. This would continue until the Uzayrid Rebellion which was an ethnic Khatt rebellion in the south along the Erythorean coast. led by Abu Bakr Zakariyya ibn Rushd al-Uzayri. The Uzayrid Caliphate would return to many aspects of the former Yasharafi Caliphate, predominantly in their Bentani theology. but unlike the Yasharafi, the Uzayids were predominantly Khawajites, Bentani who followed the teaching of Allamah Khalilullah ibn Azhar al-Khawaja. There rule would be interrupted during the Maurian Revolt where Ibn Belaal would take up the title of Caliph for 26 years. During this period Talibani forces would be successful in recapturing the Holy City of Tel Barukh in 1309. Ibn Belaal would enter Erisian folklore as the Black Prince of the East, a borderline satanic figure in many folkloric tales formulated at the time.
In 1318 the Uzayrids would wrestle back power from Ibn Belaals faction after his death. Under Ifraym ibn Murtadha al-Uzayri the Caliphate would attempt to reestablish much of the prestige lost during the Zargushid Regression. War would put these plans on hold as newly arriving Kermanic tribes would invade and establish new Kermo-Sarvati states in the north. The Sultanate of Kerman would be the dominant force in this conflict as they pushed south. a series of battles would see the Uzayrids defeated at the Battle of al-Sumaidi'ah.
Kerman Rule
Khattite Revolt and Mandate Period
Cold War and Wihda
In 1949 the Crown Colony of Qusayr experienced a series of wildcat strikes in the aftermath of the Death of Saadallah al-Ashari earlier that year. Colonial authorities would attempt to suppress the increasingly violent acts of labour resistance. On the 7th of May 1949, Hidayatullah Bettayeb, a member of the Workers Party of Qusayr, Riyadh al-Alusi, a Nahjian Republican and modernist, and Hussayn al-Baqir ibn Ka'b Naqbiyli , a Sharafi Cleric and legal scholar would meet in the apartment of Mahgoub al-Ghirbib. It would be here that the men would form the Party for National Liberation and Popular Democracy, commonly referred to as Al-Hizbu. Al-Hizbu was created in order to fabricate a popular political movement for the masses, taking elements and rhetoric from multiple political movements within the country. Ultimately its aim was to fight an anti-colonial struggle against the Crown Colony and establish a republic that would represent all Khatti people.
between 1951 and 1954 al-Hizbu would establish multiple Resistance Committees throughout the country, organizing both parallel governance and military action. In 1953 several Committees would be established north of the Crown Colony in the Suwaydah Sultanat. The Suwaydi Sultan Ikhtiyar al-Din ibn Mua'dh would have a difficult relationship with the rebels, but would ultimately foster a relatively safe staging area for them to operate. After the Events of December 23rd the Colonial forces would slowly start to leave and decolonize Qusayr. Bettayeb, al-Alusi, and Naqbiyli would form the Council of Guardians to both head the Party and the new Republic in Qusayr. Resistance Committees in Suwaydah would take to combating the Sultanates armed forces between 1953 until 1956 when the Sultanate was deposed by Ali Akbar al-Wazir after the Battle of Umm az Zaytun. Qusayr would incorporate Suwaydah later that year, with al-Wazir its new governor.
Social, Economic, and Political upheaval in the Khatti World would result in the increase of Hizbu factions in the region. the Rusafi Resistance Committee, Faylat al-Haq Resistance Committee, and the Harid al-Thuwaar Resistance Committee would conduct numerous militant actions in the states of Bouarej, Balqis, and Fahel. While in Ruhaybah groups like Ansarullah and Jaysh al-Mudzhill would take action against Republican forces which had won the 1962 elections that year, in a process dubbed the MudadiWihda. Division between the three leaders of al-Hizbu became more drastic. Federal forces would invade Balqis in 1964 in order to aid a growing nationalist insurgency. al-Alusi and Naqbiyli would use the conflict to centralize power around themselves, forcing Bettayeb out by the middle of the year. Bettayeb would then flee to Sarvatria to avoid becoming a political prisoner.
After Qusayri and Insurgent forces defeated the Monarchy in Balqis, The Qusayri would consolidate power in the newly expanded republic. Relations between al-Alusi and Naqbiyli would deteriorate as factions within al-Hizbu started to stratify. al-Alusi had strong backing within the military elite and urban Intelligentsia. Naqbiyli was far more popular within the rural and impoverished segments of the country and was a popular figure with soldiers. On June 10th 1966 al-Alusi with help from Generals Amr al-Dawsi, Sa'ad Abdul Qadir Zoubi, and Julaybib ibn Wahb al-Shalhoub would attempt a Coup d'état. Army forces would secure the capital city of Muzayria and attempt to arrest Naqbiyli . Soldiers from the 81st Armored Reconnaissance and Intelligence Battalion had tipped Naqbiyli hours prior and he had moved to a safe house in the city of al-Sumaidi'ah. The coup faltered after the failure to capture Naqbiyli , who had taken to broadcasting propaganda speeches over open radio channels. Soldiers in the city would rise up against military leadership, in what is called the Revolution of the Toilers. Forces loyal to Naqbiyli , under the command of Major Nauym al-Hilaliyyah would assault the People's Palace where al-Alusi had barricaded himself. After a short and bloody battle with his security detail al-Alusi would be captured. al-Alusi was given a short show trial in his living quarters, and was then shot by a group of soldiers. Naqbiyli would return to the city victorious over his former allies and rule as the sole authority within al-Hizbu.
in 1971 Naqbiyli would start the Highland Campaign, a military operation aimed and annexing the last remaining Khatti states to the north that were part of the wider Khutat al-Niqaba. these states were Republic of Jamlah, Union of Hamid and Zahraa, the Emirate of Abtin, and the Mankhalla Imamate. Qusayri forces would invade southern Jamlah while Insurgent forces under the umbrella of the International Committees for Popular Revolution would conduct operations in the other highland states of the north. between 1971 and 1982 Qusayri forces would battle local forces and insurgent groups until the Marj al-Sultan Accords established a Peaceful solution to the northern incorporation into the Qusayri Republic. On the 8th of June 1983, after the Signing of the Accords by the Mankhalla Imamate, the Republic was officially united with the Highland states. Naqbiyli formally renamed the country the Federal Union of Zubaydah, drawing from the name used for the region by Ubaydullah.
