Suhal (سلطنة سوهال المتحدة), officially the United Sultanates of Suhal, is a country in Eastern Daghreb, a continent of Eterrum. Known by its neighbors as ‘The Sultanates’ is a country in Eterrum. It shares land borders with Kuwayyun, Alqana and Muscan as well as extensive maritime borders, particularly along Gulf of Alqana. The most populous city is Al Suhal which is an international hub.
The United Sultanates of Suhal is an constitutional elective monarchy formed from a federation of seven sultanates, consisting of Al Suhal (the capital), Al Jahran, Al Basar, Abellone, Damarun, Eritarria and Qattra. Each Sultanate is governed by a Nayib and together the Nayib’s form the Federal Supreme Council. The members of the Federal Supreme Council elect a president and vice president from among their members. In practice, the Nayib of Al Suhal serves as president while the ruler of Al Jahran is vice president and also prime minister. In 2022, the country had a population of 43.2 million. The area which is today the USS has been inhabited for over 125,000 years. It has been the crossroads of trading for many civilizations. While called a monarchy implying that the nation is run by a single bloodline, the Federal Supreme Council is actually comprised of different bloodlines, technically making the nation under the rule of seven separate monarchies. Because of this each individual Nayib will have their own linage of Princes and Princesses.
The United Sultanates of Suhal’s oil and natural gas reserves are the world's largest. Zayed bin Al Nahyan, the country's first Sultan (President), oversaw the development of the Sultanates by investing oil revenues into healthcare, education, and infrastructure. The USS has the most diversified economy inside Daghreb. In the 21st century, the Sultanate of Al Suhal following a declining supply has become less reliant on oil and gas and is economically drastically shifted, towards focusing on tourism and business. The government is far from intrusive, levying a minimal income tax, with a corporate tax in place only at 5% value-added tax was established in 2018 with a majority of civil projects falling under the sponsorship of Nayib's and corporations.
Human rights groups regard USS as generally substandard on human rights, with allegations of slave labor and mistreatment of migrant workers. Individual rights such as the freedoms of assembly, association, the press, expression, and religion are also severely repressed in some regions of the USS.
