Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia, officially known as the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), was the largest Arab state in Western Asia. Its capital city was Riyadh.

Description
 Its land area of approximately 2,150,000 km2, constituting the bulk of the Arabian Peninsula, made it the second-largest country in the Arab world after Algeria. It was bordered by Jordan and Iraq to the north, and the Gulf Arab States. It is the only nation with both a Red Sea coast and a Persian Gulf coast.



 Saudi Arabia's geography is dominated by the Arabian Desert. There are virtually no rivers or lakes in the country, but wadis are numerous. The few fertile areas are to be found in wadis, basins, and oases. The main topographical feature is the central plateau which rises abruptly from the Red Sea and gradually descends toward the Persian Gulf. On the Red Sea coast, there is a narrow coastal plain, parallel to which runs an imposing escarpment. The southwest province of Asir is mountainous, and contains the 3,133 m Mount Sawda, the highest point in the country.

History
 Before the inception of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Saudi Arabia consisted of four distinct regions. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was founded in 1932. The country had been an absolute monarchy governed along Islamic lines, from founding to Earth’s Third World War. Saudi Arabia is sometimes called "the Land of the Two Holy Mosques" in reference to Al-Masjid al-Haram (in Mecca), and Al-Masjid an-Nabawi (in Medina), the two holiest places in Islam.

 Saudi Arabia was the world's dominant oil producer and exporter while it controlled Earth’s second largest hydrocarbon reserves. Saudi Arabia had the least diversified economy in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). Saudi Arabia was ruled by an "authoritarian regime" and was ranked as "Not Free". It also had the fourth highest military expenditure in the world.

Modern Saudi Arabia
After WWIII wiped out its Royal Family, the majority of its cities (including Riyadh, Mecca and Medina) and its oil infrastructure, Saudi Arabia was left on its own. As it had very few friends, little to no population or infrastructure and no economic resources, the country broke up into its pre 1932 regions. Each region has redeveloped in its own manner, but has the same standard of living as the rest of Earth.
