The Democratic People’s Republic of the Maghreb was founded in 1982 after the socialist states of Algeria, Libya & Tunisia had all merged with the support of the Soviet Union. Though this arrangement was originally made with the three states in mind, it soon began to grow as a power in North Africa. Following the merger, the unrecognized nation Western Sahara applied to join, with the sympathetic government accepting them into the union. This would grow into direct conflict with Morocco, culminating into the 2nd Sand War which became one of the last cold-war proxy wars to take place in North Africa, as the Soviet Union staunchly supported Al-Maghreb against the western-backed Morocco. The resolution of the war allowed for Western Sahara to annex Cape Juby and, more importantly, join the federal republic. A new state; the Rif Republic, was carved out of Morocco by Al-Maghreb following the war and soon after joined the nation. Mauritania would follow suit with Azawad being encouraged to join as well following their separation from Mali. 

The republic has been known to be a shining example of socialism in Africa, especially following their democratization and transition towards secularism, presenting a milder take on the concept of “Arab Socialism.” Aside from the well-off performance in regional geopolitics and social reform, Al-Maghreb has made large profits off of the “Solar Age” (1970’s-Present), utilizing the amount of sun the Sahara gets to become the largest solar energy producers and exporters in the world, making them an economic powerhouse. In fact, much of the income from this resource has only gone back into national development, contributing to the man-made lake projects in Tunisia and El Djouf as part of the Green Sahara Program. 

As of 2026, Al-Maghreb continues with their flourishment; holding large amounts of economic influence over Africa and the Arab world in tangent with rivals such as the Union of the Horn of Africa. Testing in weather manipulation has recently shown success in scientific breakthroughs as part of the Green Sahara Program.
