Principate of Somalia
The Principate of Somalia was a short-lived democracy established in 1953 following the partitioning of the Caliphate's territory in Africa. Although short-lived, the governmental structure established during the Principate's lifetime remains heavily influenced upon the lives of the Arabs and Somalians within the state, with many structural and governmental policies being implemented in the succeeding Sultanate of As-Sumal.

As a Principate under the direction of the United Nations, the new government passed numerous democratic reforms meant to tackle the older laws originally under the Caliphate and to ressurect the ever-declining economy that had plagued the region following the Global War. Democratic elections would take place on November 6th, 1953, with the Islamist Foundation party succeeding in electing previous Arab-Somali royal Nassaar el-Abdo. Nassaar would use his powers to gradually reform the democracy into a modern-day Sultanate, with him leading the state as the new Sultan of As-Sumal.

Treaty of Constantinople and Foundation
Following the complete ratification of the Treaty of Constantinople and the partition of the Caliphate, the United Nations would agree collectively to establish occupational democratic governments within the newly independent states of the Caliphate, including Somalia, Ethiopia, and Kenya. While Ethiopia and Kenya would use the chance to establish later republic's following close resemblance of the Principate, Somalia would become a hotbed of turmoil and chaos during it's initial days as a Principate.

Under the Principate, the government implemented had begun operations to successfully raise the economy, standard of living, and secular status. These operations would lead to the rise of an anti-Democracy settlement within the Arab and Islamic communities, which saw the new government as being anti-Islam and thus against their way of living.
