Coup d'état on the Arab Pennisula
On Day 1, 2011, Khaled Al-Asad successfully took control of the unnamed nation on the Arab pennisula, in a bloody coup that took only one day to take over the capital city. With his speech coming from the televisions and megaphones throughout the city, his paramilitary force brutally slaughtered any civilians who did not follow the new rules put into place by the new controlling government. Yasir Al-Fulani, the former democratic president, had been taken captive during the short war, and was beaten by captors while awaiting execution.

On Day 4, SAS operatives in Northern Azerbaijan had located Khaled Al-Asad, and had executed him. This led to the US involvment of the Second Russian Civil War, in order to stop Imran Zakhaev from selling any more nuclear weapons.
