Description

The Caliphate of Arabia (Or Arabian Caliphate) was the result of a series of events in the Arabian peninsula that led to the unification of Arab countries (Except for North Africa)
The first of this events was the unification of Qatar and Kuwait and its war against Bahrain and the UAE in 1983-1984. Qatar-Kuwait won the war, and its leader Jalifa bin Hammad started propaganda to increase arabian unity.
This led to a rivalry between Saudi Arabia and the new nation, in 1990, they went to war and Qatar-Kuwait lost part of its territory.
In 1991, a civil war started in Oman between people who wanted to become part of an unified Arabia and people who didn't. The rebels had help from Qatar-Kuwait and Yemen, while the government had help from Iraq. The rebels won the war, and with Qatar-Kuwait and Yemen, they formed the "South Arabian confederation" who had 3 main divitions: Q-K, Oman and Yemen.
In 1994, Saudi Arabia invaded the S. Arabian confederation, resulting in a Saudi defeat, the retaking of Southern Qatar and parts of Abu dhabi, and the incorporation of Mecca and some land near Qatar. A year later, started the Hedjaz revolt, who lasted until November 2000, when the Saudis surrender.
In 1996, Eritrea and Djbouti joined the S. Arabian confederation. In 1998, Iraq joined, and in 2001, the new Saudi king decided to join the union, becoming the "United arabian Caliphate" or Caliphate of Arabia. The next years, Hejaz, Jordan and Syria joined the Caliphate. In 2003 they bought Hormuz from Iran
In 2005, Egypt joined, but they left in 2010 after a bloody rebellion. In 2013, Kurdish people rebeled against the arabs because they said they had no participation. The government created a kurdish community with high autonomy.
The Caliphate hasn't changed its border since then, and became the 5th most powerful country in Asia
