Full Name of Nation: The Emirate of Layli
Brief History: In the mid-11 century, Surdran explorers came to Layli in hopes of finding a source of raw materials. They found a big opportunity with Layli's large source of spices and silk. After a brief armed conflict with local tribes Layli became one of Surdra’s most valuable colonies. The Surdrans began to import their way of life and began to introduce their own customs.
760 years later, many Laylian civilians began to voice their desire for Laylian independence from Surdra. After several years of talks the Kingdom of Surdra granted Layli independence from the Kingdom. After Layli was granted its freedom it requested that the Kingdom of Surdra continue to provide military support to the new nation. That is what led to the signing of the Surdran and Layli Joint Defense and Economic Co-operation Treaty (JDEOT). Under the treaty Surdra still provides military and economic support and Layli gives Surdra special treatment in deals related to Laylian exports.
The Kingdom of Surdra and the Emirate of Layli still enjoy very close relations. Surdra is Layli's largest importer, over 40% of foreign imports Layli receives each year comes from Surdra. The Kingdom of Surdra is Layli's largest buyer of Layli's massive oil industry.

Geography Overview: Layli consists of the Laylian plateau with the exception of the coast of the Anguis Sea. It is one of the world's most mountainous countries, its landscape dominated by rugged mountain ranges that separate various basins or plateaux from one another. The populous western part is the most mountainous; it last contains Layli’s highest point, Mount Damavand. The northern part of Layli is covered by dense rain forests called Shomal or the Jungles of Layli. The eastern part consists mostly of desert basins such as the Anushar, Layli's largest desert, in the north-central portion of the country, and the Namzera, in the east, as well as some salt lakes. This is because the mountain ranges are too high for rain clouds to reach these regions. The only large plains are found along the coast of the Anguis Ocean.
