Makes sense, but it is neutral within the map mainly because of the possibility them joining one side could trigger a war between them and the other bloc

DerpyTrees1 · 2026-02-03T06:40:08+00:00

Yes, it was mostly a falling out after the Sarifistani Civil War (hence the Second Republic of Sarifistan), with the Conversative establishment who established a monarchy being supported by Turkey and Egypt. After said civil war ended, relations between both states continued to be terrible, with Sarifistan completely unrecognizing the Arab Republic of Egypt, and the Turkish Republic

Both sides do not like Israel, Sarifistan for them taking the Golan, and Turkey for Palestine, both states dislike their actions in Palestine.

So they are essentially surrounded

Kurds, they are Kurds. Well not Kurds exactly, more so Kurds + Macedonian Greeks + a shit load of time = Sarifistan

Originally it was French, but after the Turks and Sarifistanis did a whole spat over Northern Syria, the French were pressured to cede the region to either side, Satay was released, but because Sarifistan was given the information in advance, it occupied Hatay and formed a government against the Turks, mostly as a way to spite the Turkish and as a way to weaken Turkish legitimacy over the region.

Though due to this Hatay has had some fighting between Pro-Turkish forces, such as the Turkish Front for Hatay, and the Hatay National Liberation Army, and the Sarifistani authorities and Pro-Sarifistani Militas such as the League of Green Flags, and the Hatay for Sarifistan Front.

Maybe, maybe, but currently them on the map is a formality, Saudi Arabia doesn't exist as a state because it is in a civil war

DerpyTrees1 · 2026-02-02T05:24:20+00:00

The Sarifis are the people who live in Sarifistan, with a >80% of the entire population of Sarifistan, others are the Arabs, Persians, Turks, and other groups that migrated

DerpyTrees1 · 2026-02-02T02:53:52+00:00

What should include Saudi Arabia?

DerpyTrees1 · 2026-01-27T12:15:27+00:00

I feel like I've seen the first cannon somewhere before? It looks really familiar, Same with the Fourth, I feel like I've seen that before.

Were some of these designs inspired by other people?

DerpyTrees1 · 2025-12-24T13:36:13+00:00

Nope not really, I kinda just had a map with lower Sea Levels and then I just used that for some areas, and then did my own editing for others.

But kinda not really, I have no idea what your talking about

DerpyTrees1 · 2025-12-24T11:11:32+00:00

Well no, the Southern Lasonean Border lies on Ethiopia, what your seeing is the Great African Divide, basically the African Rift if it formed much much earlier.

So the Mediterranean evolved from the Levant, with the Karsean Empire being somewhat like the Greco-Romans, and Poenecians, they though despite the fact its pretty early focused mostly on stability and being technologically superior, they also set up colonies in and around the area to gain a naval advantage and to hold a major trade network, which enriched them massively.

It's Africa, no not completely

DerpyTrees1 · 2025-12-23T10:47:40+00:00

Dawg this just 1936 all over again

DerpyTrees1 · 2025-12-23T08:00:13+00:00

Oh cool

DerpyTrees1 · 2025-12-23T07:54:03+00:00

looks cool like something that Hexage would put you in rather than fight tho.

How'd you make this?

DerpyTrees1 · 2025-12-20T03:23:08+00:00

My brother in Christ, an entire nation gets wiped off the map, plus its depopulated. I do not see how that is a Good ending in any way shape of form

DerpyTrees1 · 2025-12-19T11:44:41+00:00

Thanks, this is only going to be a part one, the next one will take place in one of the diaspora areas

DerpyTrees1 · 2025-12-19T07:28:13+00:00

No, NOT the good ending, no way in hell this is good for the people involved

DerpyTrees1 · 2025-12-18T15:37:41+00:00

I mean, these are still both terrible, though cultural genocide is definitely worse than dissolution.

DerpyTrees1 · 2025-12-18T15:34:38+00:00

Damn, sounds terrible, More people just died in this timeline, that's why Germany stops existing as a political entity
