Nejd (Fidem Pacis)

The Kingdom of Nejd is a sovereign state located in central and eastern Arabia, and also including parts of southern Mesopotamia. Its capital is Riyadh. Founded in 1722 when the House of Sa'ud secured its control over the ancient Arab Republic, but weakened by the loss of Oman in the 19th century and of Hejaz and Syria in the First Great War, Nejd is extremely wealthy due to tourism and oil revenues, yet suffers under the ultra-conservative Wahhabi interpretation of Islam that is followed by its rulers.
