In the name of god, most gracious, most merciful.

this is the story, of a newfound nation that has risen out of the ashes of destruction.

this nation was once a bastion of civilization, a peaceful, strong nation that had been a source of pride for it's citizens. but as time passed the nation grew weaker, more corrupt, it had forgotten the basic principles of wich it had been founded on, and so it fell prey to the hungry jaws of the western nations, war after war it lost, region after region seceded, and what was once a grand nation had become nothing more than a bunch of bickering small nations that had put their greed before the greater good, the people had forgotten their purpose, and became nothing more than sheep wanting to simply fill their stomachs rather than fight for their country....

for 3 hundred years this utter humiliation went on, for three hundred years, no nation was left unoccupied, no oil field was left unexploited by the western powers, no government was left uncontrolled by puppet governments with their faked elections and their empty promises.....

until, one day, a man had simply had enough.that man had a dream, but to achieve it,he would have to take on the world....

....that man was called Qasim ibn Hadid...

and his struggle started with but one bullet, that bullet had been fired by the western occupiers at his own father's head. no sooner than his father was buried, he had begun his campaign....

starting with no more than 50 friends and family, he started organizing a resistance army....

suddenly, the news channels started noticing:

"Coalition convoy Ambushed"

"one soldier dies from ambush"

"coalition truck destroyed by Improvised Explosive Device"

and so on, as the months passed, Qasim's resistance army grew stronger.

"20 soldiers die of Chinook shoot down"

"13 soldiers die from convoy ambush"

" A terrorist madman" blared the western media " a backwards, Evil foe who hates democracy" they declared, and they called them "Anti-arab forces" and praised the puppets as "true moderate civilized heroes"...

soon, the puppets (with western financing) started trying to hunt down his resistance army, with a heavy heart, Qasim had no choice but to attack his own brethren as well as the western occupiers..

....years had passed, and the casualties mounted....

until, one day, Qasim shocked the world with what was to be forever known as, The Ramadan Offensive.

nobody suspected that his popularity had grown this big, on that day, every city in his country simultaneously fell to thousands of his followers. the occupation forces struck back killing thousands, but the tide was simply too big.the puppets had fallen. and the Occupiers found that they would have to re-invade every city once more, but public opinion had turned against them, and the citizens of the western nations revolted, calling for an immediate withdrawal from the small nation.

with victory finally achieved, Qasim had founded a nation. that nation will forever be known as:

The Armed Republic of al-Tawhid.

"who was this man?" the world wondered, "what are his designs for the future of his country?" they aked.

some people speculated that he would be a "blood thirsty tyrant." or a "backwards ignorant zealot." some people even guessed that he would istablish a "theocracy" or "dictatorship".....

then he gave his famous speech at a victory rally that only consisted of three words:

"We. Are. Free."

nobody knows what Qasim has planned for his nation,only history can judge. but what they do know, is that it is the one person that had fought back against the odds, and won.

TO BE CONTINUED (part 2: political system and Geography).

Part 2:

political system:

capital: Dar el-salam

the Armed republic of al-tawhid is what is called a constitutional Caliphate, at the head is the Caliph. below him is a democratically elected prime minister, and a representative congress of the people, wich is called "al majlis al shoura" . both of wich are democratically elected by the people.

the main decision makers would be both the prime minister and the Caliph, the caliph has NO veto over any decision made by the prime minister or the Majlis, but he may issue commands that may or may not be accepted by the majlis.and the prime ministers commands must also pass through the majlis.

the ministers of the different branches come along with every prime minister (like an american administration).

The country follows a capitalist economy, but does not believe in interest rates, and does not deal in alchohol,gambling or any other illicit materials.

the currency is the Dirham.

GEOGRAPHY:

a mixed bag of snowy mountains in the north and mountains and rivers rivers in the east, dry and rocky desert to the west and plains in the center and the south, and beaches to the south.

SOCIETY AND ETHNICITIES:

the Armed Republic of al-tawhid does not believe in racial ethnicity,because they believe that they have transcended such silly things. rather, people are different by religion and Family:

religions:

muslim: 95%
christians: 5%( catholic/protestant)

LANGUAGES:

Arabic, persian and Urdu.

although arabic is the official language, urdu and persian are also taught in schools and households, the concentration of such languages also depends on where in the country you are, for instance, in the east, more people speak urdu, in the south and center more people speak arabic, and in the north-east, more people speak persian. but in the end, they all communicate through arabic.

and finally, CULTURE:

the culture is a mixed bag of arab, persian and Urdu tightly held together most importantly with Islamic culture.

I thank you for your time, and I look forward to a good relationship with my fellow middle-eastern nations.
