The British Protectorate of Arabia (B.P.A) is a sub-autonomous country in Western Asia that spans from the Sinai peninsula eastward towards the Zagros mountains bordering Russian Iran. The B.P.A is a ethnic creation purposely housing the majority of Arab people in Asia. After the rise of British Imperialism across the middle east the original Protectorate originated from an 1857 treaty before the creation of its present form in 1941. The nationhood of the Arab state has for decades molded factional dynasties and Bedouins into a single nationality with some success. Centuries old divisions between warring families remain and frustrated the nation in the 20th century. Economically Greater Arabia continues to be primarily a producer though attempts to reform are currently underway. The government is a Theocratic Sultanate, and upholds Sunni Islam as a state church. The B.P.A is represented by the British Empire at the Global Security Conference.
