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.
Etymology
The name Jabal Qassuon (Arabic: جبل قاسيون) originates from the local designation of the highest peak in the Southern Mountains, where the Arabic communities have historically clustered. "Jabal" translates to "Mount" in Arabic. The etymology of "Qassuon" remains uncertain, though it is thought to derive from the ancient Arabic term "Qasioun", which was interpreted to mean "hard and dry." This description aligns with the stark, rocky nature of the mountain, devoid of vegetation or water sources.

Early History
The earliest references to Arabs appear in early texts dating from the 9th to the 5th centuries BC, where they are documented as inhabiting regions of what is now most of Ridgefield.
