In recent years, Syria and Israel have held occasional peace talks over the return of the Golan Heights.
Controlled Nations: Besides Syria, our nation also controls Lebanon.
Foreign Policy: Syria currently adopts a position similar to that of Arabic states such as neighboring Jordan and Egypt, including a strong anti-Israeli sentiment, which is largely based on the loss of the Golan Heights and Religous reasons. Also has a large anti-U.S., NATO, and in general Western stance. Is currently the UN Security Council President.
Wars: Syria is currently not involved in any foreign or local wars whatsoever.
Allies: Syria currently has a Defensive Protection Pact from China in order to protect herself from possible Turkish and/or American Agression. Syria shares sentiments with her Islamic and Muslim neighbors, but has no official allies amongst them.

The 1st Syrian Infantrymen Regiment will invade and annex our client-state of Lebanon.
Damascus Daily
January 2002
Despite threats from the US, Syria embarked on an effort to secure herself and the Arab world's cause by annexing her former client-state of Lebanon. What else brought about the aquisition of Lebanese territory?
Many outside threats have made an impact on Syria. A fast-rising UAE and a US-allied Turkey to her north have caused extreme amounts of pressure on the Arab Republic. In order for her to maintain her sovreignty, Syria found it imperative that Lebanon be completely integrated into her nation.
Lebanese peoples will recieve the same rights as Syrians--that is, none.
Syria plans to continue her expansion, possible into Jordan, Egypt, Israel or Iraq.
Plans for her future relationship with the UAE remain uncertain.
