The Arab Onion

The Arab Onion is the youngest and smallest of the onions. It is controlled by a council of wealthy businessmen and most of it's GDP comes from oil and bomb distribution.

History
The Arab Onion used to be a province of The European Onion until 2012, during which it got liberated by a set of activists who for a short time called themselves Neo-Satanists but quickly decided to change their name to The People's Satanists.

They set up their government way before they actually got liberated (back in 1992), but it wasn't considered official by The European Onion until in 2010 it was given autonomy, and then in 2012 became fully independent.

Government
The nation claims that it's a republic and holds bi-yearly elections for the Council of Order, which is the misnamed organisation which controls the country, however they're actually set up by a shadowy monarch who nobody knows the identity of.

The Council of Order is composed of 12 businessmen who deal with foreign affairs and trade. They mostly sit there and talk about nonsense and don't do much of importance. They exist solely for PR.

Military
The military of The Arab Onion is flimsy and untrained at best, they don't bother training them as they rely on their massive supply of bombs. They use the bombs to strap on the backs of the military.

Every adult is automatically drafted into the military for 3 years.

Farming And Oil Mining
Farming is not very involved because the terrain of the nation is very mountainous and sandy. The only plant which grows in the climate is Marijuana, which they distribute.

Oil mining has advanced to extreme amounts, half of the continent's oil comes from the Arab Onion.
