    I was citing the relations based on increased western influence in Egypt, remember the majority of the working force wouldn't have even been born during that war since this is 2026/2028 and would have enjoyed peace with Israel for the majority if not all of their lives. Increased western influence would also have meant increased Israeli influence so that has to be factored in. In 2026 Palestine and Israel reached a state of peace under mounting issues in the world so the biggest contention point in the 2000-2013 period was erased (Sinai issues have been small recently, Gaza has drawn most of the attention)

    Of course i can write another rpp if that seems to unbelievable.


    Also I didn't know Arabia and Iran were that opposite, i can easily write that out.

    Nation/Group name/Individual: Egyptian Republic

    Background:Close to the beginning of the century in the 2011 revolution taking place the amidst the backdrop of the Arab Spring promised the end of a brutal era with Hosni Mubarak being sent to prison and democratic elections being pushed through in mere months. Yet with all things fast and easy little could have been expected to work out, the Islamist organization known as the Muslim Brotherhood was the only party ready for an election, while the moderate majority was picking up the pieces the Brotherhood under Mohamad Morsi suddenly took power in the first election. Needless to say this election was so fast that few could have been prepared. After a humiliating rule where the Morsi government changed nothing and enforced rules as harsh as the former Mubarak regime had it was ousted by the Military with the overwhelming support of the people in 2013.

    The period of instability and clashes continued in Egypt between moderates and radicals for the next three years. During these years the military instated an acting president and worked on restructuring a new government and constitution, though many would grow impatient with these change the trial and sentencing of Mohamad Morsi to life in prison for the crimes he committed in office during the second year of transitional rule appeased many people, while infuriating the radicals and the Muslim Brotherhood. The transitional years were generally stable with a small spike in terrorist actions after the sentencing of Morsi. It was at the end of the three years that a new election took place, now prepared and with the significant weakening of the Muslim Brotherhood under military rule the moderate masses elected a fiercely democratic and liberal government into office. By 2020 Egypt’s economy was booming and its military along with its populace had massively embraced western ideas, the four years of peace that had allowed this were made possible by a strong effort between Israel, Libya, and Tunisia working to weaken Islamist organizations that had plagued the area. By 2021 Egypt’s suspension from the African union was lifted but Egypt promptly took the opportunity along with Libya and Tunisia to withdraw citing corruption within the organization and formed the new LMA or Lower Mediterranean Alliance. This action was taken by the democratic nations as an attempt to distance themselves from the idea of poor Africa and Islamic terrorism that had only grown worse in the Middle East.

    At this point alliance held strong ties with Israel but was strongly opposed to the treatment of Palestine, however with the soon noticed decline in global temperatures in 2026 Israel reached a sudden peace with Palestine in an attempt to put themselves in a position where they could be ready for a rapidly destabilizing world and align themselves with the LMA that was soon showing itself to be stable in the face of a breaking world. In 2028 Israel was admitted to the LMA, however this same year proved to a decisive moment for the Organization. Sudan invaded Egypt in an attempt to seize the valuable Aswan dam, a move that was found supported by Saudi Arabia. So began the war of the Red Sea. Sudan’s army proved dated and was quickly destroyed by the combined forces of Egypt and Israel with logistic support from Libya and Tunisia, the small part of the Aswan dam’s basin in the form of Lake Nubia and Wadi Halfa on Sudan’s side was seized in the first three months of hostilities. However the real war began when Saudi forces landed on Egypt’s beaches, their eyes set on Cairo. The breach in defenses was possible due to the over
    commitment on seizing lake Nubia. Saudi forces captured Hurghada and drove up the coastline; however the Egyptian and Israeli navies prepared a trap at Suez, a vital area to capture should an attempt on Cairo be possible. The Saudi forces were met with massive bombardment when they moved in range of the city, forced to retreat they were horrified to learn in the time it took them to reach Suez the LMA coalition army had retaken Hurghada and was move moving upward towards them. Caught between a massive naval force and a large army the Saudi forces tried to escape mainland Egypt at Ras Ghareb. The Saudi navy tried desperately to evacuate, but with no formal armistice the LMA coalition naval force sunk almost the entire Saudi force in the battle of the Gulf of Suez.

    In one year Israel has solidified its place in the alliance through vital aid in a time of war, and with newfound hatred toward the Saudi nation among all but the Sudanese in the region Israel found itself at peace, even with Palestine who would be accepted as a formal nation within the alliance in 2030. However at this time the world had gone to hell, the temperatures were dropping quickly and the gains from the War in terms of making sovereign right over Aswan dam basin were invaluable as it was a huge source of fresh water for the nations of the Alliance. However those gains were not without issues, Saudi Arabia gained the support of Iran and the finally stabilized Syria and made the IA, or Islamic Alliance. The more moderate and western LMA has found itself in a cold war, however they knew without a source of true fresh water Saudi Arabia would not last.

    As the world descended into madness and Europe either froze of became a battleground in the 2030’s the LMA looked to self-dependence, working on many nuclear reactors powered by uranium deposits found in Egypt in 2013 as a replacement as oil was running thin. Hydroponic farms were built en mass and cities around coasts and water rich areas swelled as the deserts grew dryer. Soon the LMA had the military power and the self-sufficient nature to survive, so in 2041 the Suez Canal was sealed to ships refusing to pay a toll of 10% of their cargo, the world was weak and few did anything to stop it. In 2042 Cyrpus found itself without allies as Europe descended into chaos and with long time enemy Turkey on its doorstep, it offered to join the LMA in exchange for help securing the entire Island from Turkey. The LMA needed a link to Europe and obliged, Turkey was little interested in war with the LMA and finally pulled its military forces out of Cyrpus, a link to Europe was found and the independent nations of the alliances had accomplished their goals for the near future.

    Little has changed and by 2045 and the LMA, Egypt among them is in a state of peace, however the IA looms on the horizon and tensions over the Suez remain ever present.

    Location:


    The history is based on Egypt and the Alliance, to introduce both ideas, all nations in it are still independent though.

    Speaking of that I intend to start with Eygpt being in an alliance with Lybia, Isreal, Tunisia, and South Sudan.

    The alliance is composed of the more tolerant and moderate nations that resulted from the 2010-???? rebellions.

    Its not actually a single nation just an alliance i had thought up.

    If you want action you should take Taiwan and by doing so have had a war in the past with China, the Philippines is less risky.




    Also with reduced temperatures Egypt will likely have a much more hospitable environment, that's good but having the Nile will paint a target on me...

    I am thinking in my app after the coup Morsi is found guilty and in the chaos that follows the Military finally seizes power for two years and slowly brings a moderate democrat into power, something that would appease the people seeing the failure of the Muslim brotherhood. This would ease tensions with Isreal again and bring them back to the positive they were before the revolution (strangely Egypt and Isreal got along before the peaceful revolution). That would take a major issue off my back but would turn lots of insurgents against me, so that's immediately something to deal with in my history.

    Interestingly Egypt has a nuclear energy program, without Morsi that could grow and with a renewed trust with Isreal be supported.


    I'm thinking in the end where the rp begins Egypt will be mostly stable (with some insurgent activity) but in an alliance with Isreal and Libya but in a cold war with the Islamic states in Africa and the middle east.


    Of course if any of those nations get taken i will talk about this idea with others.




    My app is under way aaron, i am a busy man.
