South Mauritania (The Maxorata Empire)

The Islamic People's Republic of Mauritania (Arabic: al-Jumhūrīyah al-Islāmīyah al-Mūrītānīyah), also known as IPR Mauritania, Mauritania-Nouakchott or simply South Mauritania, is a country in the Maghreb region of Northwestern Africa. It is one of the largest countries in Africa and is bordered by North Mauritania to the south, the Atlantic Ocean to the west, Spanish Sahara to the north, Algeria in the northeast, Mali in the east and southeast, and Senegal in the southwest.

Unlike it's neighbour of the same name (North Mauritania), South Mauritania is an enemy of the Maxorata Empire, because it's people are predominantly Muslim, and have been in religious conflict with the Guanches for centuries.

South Mauritania refers to both countries as Mūrītānīyah (North and South), while North Mauritania calls them both 'Maurenata' (North and South), presumably because of territorial claims.

History
In 1385, after the grand expansion of the Maxo people, the north of the geographical region known as Mauritania was conquered by the Maxorata Empire colonialists, while the south was ruled by the Moors. The north was called Maurenata, and the south was called Mūrītānīyah.

When the north gained independence from the Maxorata Empire in 1714, they proposed unity with their southern neighbour, and united together as the Emirate Of Mauritania.

However, because the culture and people of the northern and southern region of the new Emirate were so different, they couldn’t coexist peacefully under one monarch. Riots and racial conflicts were an everyday occurrence.

This social tension eventually transformed into a full scale civil war in 1895, which ended in the collapse of the Mauritanian monarchy and the country’s separation in two: the Guanche Republic Of Mauritania, and the Islamic People’s Republic Of Mauritania. They remained separated for much of the 20th century.

Mekossa. Democratic Land of Mauritania.
In 1963, the President Of South Mauritania, Sidya Mekossa, sent troops into North Mauritania to occupy it with the goal of reuniting Mauritania as a dictatorship,  with a whole new religion based around him. This new Democratic Land Of Mauritania was very politically unstable, and none of the people wanted to follow Sidya Mekossa's faux religion and personality cult. Sidya Mekossa was widely renowned for his many self-made titles: His Most Excellent Greatness, Field Marshal President and Raïs Sidya Sesse Mekossa Of Mauritania, Lord of the Guanches and the people of Allah, uniter of races and supervisor of the bright future of the soil of the people.

This new united country didn’t last very long though, despite President Mekossa's attempt to unite the people under one single new order and quell riots, and Guanche rebels stormed the Presidential Palace and put an end to the regime in 1970.

North and South Mauritania once again split in two in 1970, and are still separated today.
