The Kingdom of Caraïbes spans an area of 924,030 square kilometers (356,770 sq mi), with a population of roughly 67 million. Caraïbes is comprised of 15 administrative regions which typically corespond to the historic emirate and kingdoms that existed there.

The region known presently as Caraïbes has been inhabited for nearly 60,000 years, which is since the Paleothic Era. In 711 AD Mari Djata, a local noble in the Mande region established himself as the first King of Caraïbes, and the first monarch of the long lasting Sahel dynasty. The most notable monarch of the dynasty beside the founder was Musa Kankou the Great, whose wealth was so vast that he was said to be the richest man to ever live. The Kingdom of Coventrey, a nominal vassel of the Sahelian empire declared independence from the Sahelian empire in 1190, by then Caraïbes was in a serious decline, the last moderately effective King being Mamadou IV whose sixty-three year long reign began promising only for it to be dashed as a result of the continued desintigration of the Caraibean empire. The Sahel dynasty after lasting 500 years was overthrown by a rival noble house in 1269 AD. Successive dynasties, the Duguwa (1269 AD - 1452 AD), Ghaniya (1452 AD - 1536 AD), and Shurafa (1536 AD - 1664 AD) all tried to replicate the earlier successes of the Sahelian dynasty.
In 1664, Sharif Idris, a reported descendant of the Prophet Muhammed seized power from the last Shurafa King establishing the Idrisid dynasty, that continues to rule today. The Kingdom established itself as a constitutional monarchy in the 19th century and began the process of industrialization.
Caraïbes despite the occassional ethnic skirmishes between the country's three major religious groups, is considered to be a resonably stable and prosperous country with a robust liberal economy with the government controlling key sectors. In the area of foreign affairs, the kingdom tends to use its influence for the benefit of its allies and fellow nations earning it recognition as a middle power in its respective region. Caraïbes is a unitary semi-constitutional monarchy with an elected legislature. The executive arm of the government is overseen by the King of Caraïbes and the Grand Wazir; while legislative power is vested in the bicameral Gbara, consisting of the House of Amirs and the House of Representatives. The judicial arm of the government is vested in the Supreme Constitutional Court, which has authority to determine the interpretation of laws. The King in his role as sovereign of the nation has extraordinary executive, legislative, and judicial powers, which he by tradition only uses after consulting the Grand Wazir and the Constitutional Court
