History: The complete and utter destruction of the Ottoman Empire following the Treaty of Lausanne and the Great War, as well as the lack of a consensus regarding the future of the Middle East as a whole, lead to a massive power vacuum within the former Arab territories of the Ottoman Empire. Even prior to the official end of conflict, Arabs across the Empire, and outside it were acutely aware of the ringing of the Sublime Porte's death knells. From Tunisia to Iraq, various petty Arab states, some relics of old Ottoman vilayets, others claiming the heritage and glory of the Arab empires of old, and others spontaneously forming out of relatively powerful or charismatic tribes, rose against the Porte and against each other. This general chaos in the Arab territories continued for a good decade, and the number of remaining nations thinned out until there existed a clear-cut group of successor countries for the Arab peoples.
In the Maghreb, the Kingdom of Libya annexed various Tunisian factions and consolidated its power within Tripoli. An Iraqi-Syrian coalition continued a bloody war against a powerful union Kurdish separatists and begs to the north. On the peninsula were various kingdoms and emirates who continually jockeyed for control of vast, newly found oil deposits. And between these states was a curiously formed, almost arbitrarily cobbled together state lead by a former Hejazi royal line.
The Jordans.
