UNITED ARABIAN SULTANATE UNION
HISTORY: The UASU came to be in the early 1900s as a result of the peaceful unification of the Arabian Peninsula. The Arabs, watching in horror as Africa was gobbled up by Europe, decided that if they were to survive, they had to stick together. Through WWI, The UASU officially stayed neutral but pledged off the record support for the allied powers, namely Great Britain. The nation sat through a dull period of about 25 years until 1934, when oil was discovered in the Rub A-Qalid. The UASU has only a few oil wells at this time, but orders are being placed to European manufacturers for more drilling equipment.
