After Ibn Saud lost and the family behind Saudi Arabia was defeated, the Al-Rashid family took over and they established Hussein bin Ali and his successors as the Sharifs of Mecca. They expanded, taking Saudi Arabia, Oman, Yemen, U.A.E, Kuwait, Bahrain and Qatar.
Riyadh was named the capital and the Sultan, Sultan Abdul Aziz (may change) took over as ''Sultan of all Arabia''. He did not take the title of Caliph, nor did the Sharif.
From their founding, Arabia was peaceful, it being neutral in WW2. Many came and still come for the Hajj or Pilgrimage to Mecca. The Arabian government has Islam as the state faith but respects all religions but advises missionaries, etc of other faiths not to go into the Arabian Peninsula as Al-Qaeda, etc can attack and what not.
Today, Sultan Ali III (may change) is the ruler of Arabia and he looks forward to diplomatic relations with other nations.
