Arabekh is a major continent within the northern hemisphere of Aeia. At 8.8 million square kilometers, Arabekh is the smallest of the 8 continents of Aeia. Arabekh is also the continent with the second smallest population on the planet, at 68 million people in 2015, with only Frigidarum having less inhabitants. The continent is surrounded by the Asur sea to the northeast, the Opal ocean from north, west and south, and the Arabekh channel to the east. Geographically, Arabekh also includes the Apian Isles archipelago in the Opal ocean, however, the archipelago is controlled by Mirina. Arabekh contains 4 internationally recognised states, 1 territory and X states with limited or no international recognision.
Arabekh currently ranks as the poorest continent in Aeia with an average GDP per capita of $1488. An estimated N% of the population lives below the line of poverty, with some countries reaching a level of unemployment of up to 20%. In the same time, the continent is rich on minerals and especially fossil fuels, with two of the five biggest oil exporters in Aeia being located in Northern Arabekh.
Arabekh is a home for numerous ethnicities, languages and cultures. Some of them are ranked amongst the oldest known human civilizations, dating back to the Bronze age. The continent has a rich history, with large portions of it being occupied by several Asuran, Cataian and domestic state formations throughout its ancient and medieval history. Since the 18th century, the continent has been under direct Asuran colonial rule for over 250 years, leaving a mark on its current development. Most current Arabekhi nations emerged as a result of the decoloniation processes that took place on the continent after the First Great War. Currently most of the nations on the continent suffer from serious internal instability, both in political and economical manners, and still heavily rely on their former Asuran colonizers to support their own citizens.
