Democratic Republic of Arabia (Great Global War)

History
Formed by the Reds in October 1918, the Democratic Republic of Arabia was a weak union of Bedouin tribes, based in Damascus. Although the Soviets spent thousands of Roubles on helpig the DRA Army, it was never able to form a regular, loyal army. Instead, the weak Communist government in Damascus relied on un-loyal tribes, that were united with the help of Russian Roubles. In the communist state, following Soviet tradition, religion was forbidden, which caused anger among most of its inhabitants. Most tribal chieftains were recruited to the cause of the Big 5 Powers only with the help of money. The state was destroyed in 1920 after a British victory in Damascus. The Chairman of the Presidium, Ali A. al-Sharyia was killed by the British troops in 1921.

Government
The Chairman of the DRA Presidium (the highest power in the country) ruled jointly with the Soviet Group of Forces Arabia (SGFA). The government's power was limited only to Syria, while "Socialist States" like Iraq, Palestine, Arabia, and Jordan were ruled by tribes. Although a few tribes were untied by money, the government was unable to place authority in those regions. The SGFA and its counterparts in Moscow planned to replace the weak state with a Soviet occupation, but the DRA was defeated too early for such a plan to happen.
