Gassasinia, officially the Kingdom of Ghasasinah ([ARABIC]: المملكة الغساسنة, [JEWISH]: ממלכת רסניד) is a Sovereign State in northern [[[MIDDLE EAST]]] bordered by #### to the South-West and #### to the South-East. Notable for its' hilly and mountainous north and fertile plains, Gassasinia is home to a mainly Arab population with a small minority of Jews.

Although through much of the 20th century, Gassinia suffered from violent strife and even civil war along economic and religious lines, today Gassasinia is a [EUROPEAN]-styled Liberal Democratic parliamentary constitutional monarchy with one of the strongest economies in [MIDDLE EAST]. The monarch of Gassasinia is King Yousef II bin Al-Hashim of the House of Harith, son of King Hashim II, who has ruled Gassasinia since 1979 and proved essential in instituting a liberal democratic system and reconciling internal tensions, turning the country onto the path of recovery, stability and prosperity from the ruins of its' recent past.

Whereas many of its' neighbours rely on oil to fuel their economies, Gassasinia is completely absent of any oil and instead relies on exporting electronics, computer software and hardware, medical equipment, pharmaceuticals, phosphates and refined materials to drive its' economy. Gassasinia is a developed industrialised country, with a well-educated population and one of, if not the highest standards of living across the nations of [MIDDLE EAST].

The Kingdom of Ghasasinah, and the House of Harith date back to the 14th Century, when members of the Al-Yaman tribe travelled from the hot deserts in the south to the fertile hills and plains in the north, forming the Jabiyah Kingdom which would eventually become the modern Kingdom of Ghasasinah.
