Jabal Qassuon, officially known as the Jabal Qassuon Arab Republic (Arabic: جمهورية جبل قاسيون العربية), is a sizable landlocked country predominantly located in the southern mountainous region of Ridgefield. It lies south of the nation of Haymarket Riot and east of Solingelly. Originally inhabited by nomadic groups and scattered villages within the mountains, during the mid-1700s, several Arabic settlements amalgamated and established the town of Jadidah just outside the mountains, along the banks of the South River. Jadidah served as the initial industrial center for the Arabic settlers. Following a similar revolutionary wave in Haymarket Riot, in 1810 Jabal Qassuon experienced upheaval due to Communist sympathizers and external influences from neighboring states. This led to the formation of a unified Arab republic, with its capital situated in Jadidah. Presently, Jabal Qassuon operates as a workers republic, which it has intergreted with its Arabic cultural heritage.
