->'''In-Game Biography''' [[labelnote:Click to Show]]The king of tin cans rests on his throne, one not built on epics of Yore or romantic tales of national liberation but one created for him out of Turkish convenience.\\\
Mıgırdıç Sellefyan is an Armenian because he was tasked with keeping Armenia docile. He is not one out of pride or patriotism for what is meant to be his ancestral homeland. In an alternate life, he may have stayed as a bureaucrat in Istanbul, eeking out a lifestyle through corruption and connections.\\\
But World War Two presented an opportunity. Armenia remained restless, and Inönü needed a watchman. A name was slipped to the President, and a deal was made - Sellefyan would have his playground, and Armenia would not be a threat to Turkish interests, giving birth to a new President.\\\
His Armenian Republican Party now commands the nation, a nominal sibling of its big brother party in Turkey. In reality, it is a vehicle for Sellefyan's interests and a cast of careerists, populists, and the scattered few pro-Turkey politicians. Each election is a box-ticking exercise for them, but if Armenia is to be free, something must give...[[/labelnote]]

->'''In-Game Biography''' [[labelnote:Click to Show]]Looking at the Armenian Republican Party's past, one would be entirely forgiven for considering it an unredeemable monstrosity created out of a lust for power. But inside its mechanisms lie men like Zakar Tarver, hungry for change. Like Sellefyan, he was once just a Turkish bureaucrat before his ascension to the highest echelons of the Armenian Republican Party, but that is where the similarities end.\\\
Tarver once watched the ideals of his world crumble before his eyes. Armenian cooperation with Turkey had been hollowed out for corrupt authoritarianism as the nation withered away. His only solace was his faction of ardent reformists, slowly watching for an opportunity to strike down Sellefyan and his craven cronyism.\\\
The protests in Yerevan gave way to the catalyst of a united front against Sellefyan, and Ankara remained silent to his pleas. Tarver now presides over a new friendship between Turkey and Armenia, one of sincerity, free from foolish radicalism or corrupt opportunism. Anti-Turkish feelings will not go away overnight, but peace and liberty may finally soothe the pain of a nation.[[/labelnote]]

The areas of Syria outside of the "National Pact", which have been turned into a puppet state under permanent Turkish occupation.

* LesCollaborateurs: Turkey delegates rule over southern and eastern Syria to a collaborationist military junta. While the Damascus junta is not entirely loyal to Turkey, they have few options.
* EnemyMine: While each Syrian leader works with one another to drive Turkey out of their country, once that has been done, they will quickly turn on each other to become the sole authority of Syria.
* OccupiersOutOfOurCountry: In the midst of growing instability in the Middle East, Syrian nationalists will launch a revolution to forcefully win their independence.
* PuppetState: The SNS is by all accounts less an ally and more a rump state occupied by Turkey.
* LaResistance: There's considerable opposition to both Turkish rule and the SNS among the Syrian population.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Syrian nationalists can revolt against their Turkish occupiers and establish their own independent republic, which unintentionally worsens the effects of the Oil Crisis by cutting off a major oil supplier to the global community.
* WeAreStrugglingTogether: The Syrian National State is led by a council composed of Husni al Za'im, Adib Shishakli, Fawzi Selu, and Sami al Hinnawi, all of who have different dreams and aspirations that contradict each other and could spell doom for the country.

* LaResistance: With tensions rising against Germany, Saudi Arabia's minority groups have been launching guerilla strikes in hopes of earning self-autonomy, which are supported by the Reich to undermine their rival.

->'''In-Game Biography:''' [[labelnote:Click to Show]]Sher Mohammed is a Marri chief of Baluchestan. As leader of the Baluchi Liberation Front, he has pioneered guerilla warfare against all those who would encroach on the independence of the Baluch. A proud Sunni people in a nation of Shia, with their own language, culture and tradition, the millions of Baluchi have long been ruled by people who do not understand them. To this nationalist motivation Sher Mohammed adds a Marxist interpretation, seeing his people's struggle as yet another in the eternal fight against the oppressor.Perhaps their fight is doomed to failure from the beginning. The enemy has overwhelming superiority in both men and arms. It matters not. They will pay with blood for every inch of these mountains.[[/labelnote]]

* EarnYourHappyEnding: It is possible for both the Israelis and Palestinians to peacefully get their own states in the Levant, but both will have to successfully negotiate with the Italians, which will certainly involve plenty of tough compromises and dealing with the radicals of their respective nations.

* CrapsaccharineWorld: As shown in its starting position teaser, Saudi Arabia is a rapidly modernizing nation with valuable oil reserves and growing metropolises, but their supposed prosperity is rarely enjoyed by the Saudi Arabians themselves. More often than not, the average Saudi Arabian is a poor worker whose labor has been exploited by foreign companies, notably the ENI, and can barely afford basic human necessities like water and housing. By the 1960's, tensions are simmering and the workers will inevitably launch mass strikes in protest to their oppression.

* SiblingRivalry: Sa'ud, Faisal, and Talal are brothers and the three most influential members of their ruling family. However, the starting position teaser shows that the trio have different visions for Saudi Arabia's future and have become rivals fighting for control of the country.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: According to the starting position teaser, members of the royal court can only trust their blood brothers. Any other alliance is treated with suspicion, as everyone is looking to advance their own agenda.

%%* AbdicateTheThrone: Just like in real life, in 1964, King Sa'ud is forced to abdicate, leaving the throne to his younger brother Faisal.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: {{Inverted}}. In the starting position teaser, Sa'ud is the only person in his court who is still respected by the Italians and the striking workers, which gives him the perfect position to consider all of his options and decide what future Saudi Arabia should gravitate towards.
* IDidWhatIHadToDo: The starting position teaser reveals that, after failing to nationalize the ARAMCO oil company, Sa'ud has begrudgingly submitted to the Italian sphere of influence and made concessions of Saudi oil to them, at the expense of the general populace.

* NecessarilyEvil: Compared to Faisal and Talal, the starting position teaser describes Sa'ud as the most willing to collaborate with the Italians, borrowing their expertise and allowing them to invest in Saudi oil. He doesn't enjoy groveling to them, but he believes that it's the best way to get the investment needed to modernize the country.

* {{Realpolitik}}: The starting position teaser shows that Sa'ud is aligned to Italy so long as they provide the means for Saudi Arabia to modernize, in spite of the human cost. Once this goal is achieved, Sa'ud will exit their sphere as soon as he can.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: According to the starting position teaser, Sa'ud will resort to any means to develop and industrialize his nation, even if it means collaborating with Italian corporations and letting them exploit his people as cheap labor with few protections.

->'''Ideology:''' Paternalism

* RedBaron: From his teased biography, Talal's radical reformism within the Saudi royal court earned him the nickname "The Red Prince."
* WeAreStrugglingTogether: His teased biography states that Talal and his support base are united in a general consensus that Saudi Arabia must reform, but what that means varies from person to person. Unless the movement can agree to a more specific common goal, it might be doomed to collapse.
