The Emirates of the Gulf

[Snowy]

The Gulf of Emirates, the Birthplace of Civilisation, the Home of the world's first Empires, Home of Green Forests in the Desert and the land of Never Winter has always stood together. Together in Joy, Together in War, Together in Success. Under one Rule, one Family, one Dynasty, one Legacy all of this Magnificent land has stood Together. Under House Valerian. From the Gardens of Babylon, The Temples of Mesopotamia to the first farms the world had seen, a Family as Royal in Blood as they were in name Emerged. Generations after generations for Centuries with no Beginning El-Sultan's have Always Rules the Land. Blessed with Fertile Soil, Mesopotamia was the Birth Place of the Emirates we now know today. With seemingly Endless Resources from the Soil and the Wind, the Food was Easy to Grow.

But as Mesopotamia Gained more Lands it had more Farms, more Farms Needed more men, more men needed more food, more food needed more land, and more land needed more Farms and so on. With the Chain of Events following each other Through The Centuries Mesopotamia Grew and agree of consuming what was Today Iraq, Southern Iran, Kuwait, Eastern Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates, Eastern Oman. When Mesopotamia Reaches so much Land to Consume all of The Arab Gulf, the World is Introduced to Islam. With a new Faith, Big Fertile Lands, Lots of water and of Course an enormous amount of Man Power Mesopotamia Turned into Hundreds of small Emirates all with big Populations due to Populations boom in the Arab Gulf. But One House still held them Together, House El-Sultan.

With the Introduction of Islam Education Became important to the Arab, they would read day and night and learn as much as they possibly cool to know more about the world around them. With Education becoming ever so important to the Arab, the Culture Of Schools were Started first in Qatar then Spread into Iraq and then Consumed all of the Emirates in a Few Hundred Years.By the Thirteenth Century Schools were Common Place for the Privileged, schools mostly Taught about how to improve Agricultural Products and Conditions as well as Trading and Business. For the first five years of education, those who attended school would learn their Mother Language, Simple Math, Simple Science and About the Emirates. After that Stage of their Education Students are Pointed towards three different types of secondary Educational Institutions; El-Hakim's (Government Worker), Samara (Trade and Business) and Tawfeek (Agriculture and Farming)

With Millions of Population due to the Agricultural Revolution and Seemingly endless sources of food, Ancient dug canals Brining water from The Arab Gulf to the Inland, Job Opportunities on many Farms as well as high Life Quality. These Many People needed a Source of Income, whether it was trading Food or Trading goods. And This necessity of trading led to many Arabs pursuing a Trader Career, and this industry seemed to be booming with Tonnes of food being Made in Arabia as well as Schools Teaching How to Do Business.By Early 1600s nearly 35 Million of the 301Million People in the Emirates was Pursuing a Trade Career, Food from The Rich Arab Peninsula To Northern African Countries Bringing the Rich Arab culture to Africa. But this Wasn't the Only Trade, Spices from Indonesia and Malaysia Were Al's Of highly Imported and Travelled up to Europe Through the Arab Peninsula, then Syria then From the Mediterranean. All this trading put Qatar in the Middle, Turning Qatar into a major trading Station. And Surprisingly Enough, wood was also traded for Exotic fruits with western Russia bringing the Reach of Arabia to Europe.

By 1700s So Many Western African Countries has Converted you Islam as well as Central Asian and Indochina. But apart from these, there were some surprising conversions like Pakistan, Bangladesh, West Russia and Turkey. And the Emirate of Mecca was in the Middle of It, with Islamic Scholars from all around the world coming here not only to Learn about Islam but make it their new Home as the holy land. But it was not only the Scholars that came here, Muslims all around the world whether they be Kings, Sultans, Shahs or Peasants came to the Holy Land making it not only the Birthplace of Islam but the Center Of Islam. Emirate of Mecca was also the Birth Place for the El-Mofty Council, a group of 20 Scholars from all around the World Coming together to Discuss the Future of Islam

With Trade Being Huge with Europe in the 1800s and nearly all of Rich Arabs being at least literal the Industrial Revolution Started Fairly Early (maybe later then England) And Fairly Quickly, with having an already significant population of 400 Million People and Oil Rich Lands with Lots of food and lots of Trade. The Arab Peninsula Went Through the Industrial Revolution not to Colonise but to Modernise so while Europe was building Gun Factories, Emirates was building medicine Factories. While Europe was making Military Naval Dockyards, Emirates was Building Naval Infrastructure. While Europe was Building Tank Manufacturers, Emirates was Building Modern Infrastructure. Most of The Emirate Industrial Revolution went towards Social Improvements and Better Infrastructure rather then War Materials. Although Emirates did keep a hefty defence Military that kept it out of wars

By 1900s Cities like Baghdad and Dubai were Technological Innovation Centres with Places like Doha and Kuwait City becoming great World Trade Centers. Not only that but Emirates also Realised the Importance of a good Defence Industry when it saw what was coming for the Future, staying Neutral in both World Wars. With a Population of 1.3 Billion Emirates Started developing their Defence Industry, while the Armies of Europe Mutually Destructed each other Emirati Army was getting ever Bigger.

In the beginning of the 21st Century with the Oil prices reaching An average of $150 per barrel for Eight years, The Emirates of the Gulf had a GDP of $23,585,105,954,683.84. Although A lot of this came from the Oil Revenues Emirates also had High-Value Industries thanks to is Fast Industrials revolution and Manufacturing, Emirates became an Economic Superpower with an Economic Growth of an Average of 6% and used this High Economic Status to fund Military Projects worth Billions. By 2030 the Emirati Defence industry was highly Advanced with being able to produce own Drones, Cruiser Missiles, Ballistic Missiles, Tanks, 6th Generation F-65's, Domestic Made Generation 6 Fighter Jet Al-Jihad, Submarines, Naval Combat ships Sizing from Coastal Protections Craft to Amphibious assault ships, Satellites and Aircraft Carrier Technology
