Urzikstan (Arabic: أورزيكستان) is a fictional country featured in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III.

Geography[]

Urzikstan is a peninsula on the eastern border of the Black Sea located in the Caucasus Region in Western Asia, bordering the United Republic of Adal to the north and northwest, the Russian Federation to the northeast, and Georgia to the east and southeast. The capital is Sakhra where the Embassy of the United States is located. The climate is mostly arid.

Urzikstan Armed Forces[]

While the Urzikstan Armed Forces isn't shown in the Single Player, its Special Operation Forces unit called the Urzikstan SSG appear as an Allegiance Mil-Sim skin after Season Three. In addition, Farah Karim's father Walid is possibly a member of the Urzikstan military because a photo found in Hometown depicts a younger Walid armed with an AK-47.

History[]

Russian Invasion[]

In 1999, Russian General Roman Barkov successfully invaded the country and ruled it with an iron fist. Under Barkov's rule, the Urzikstani people were used as a workforce, receiving rations as payment for their work. The fate of the original government and military of Urzikstan is not stated.

Insurgency[]

Main article: Urzikstan Insurgency

Sometimes after the Tobrak Prison Break in 2009, many POWs led by Farah Karim founded the Urzikstan Liberation Force, a western-backed militia. Meanwhile, Omar Sulaman founded Al-Qatala instead of joining the ULF, as he was against the idea of any foreign powers' presence within Urzikstan.

End of Russian Occupation[]

In November 2019, General Barkov and his forces were defeated in Georgia by a joint operation between the CIA, SAS, and the Urzik Militia. As Russia officially disowned Barkov, the occupation of Urzikstan finally came to an end. However, there were still remnants of Barkov's men left in the country after Barkov's death who had avoided capture and continued Barkov's unfinished business by either joining up with the newly formed Allegiance under Kamarov or by going rogue and offering their services to the Ultranationalists forces led by Viktor Zakhaev and the newly reformed Al-Qatala under Khaled Al-Asad.

Zaravan Exclusion Zone[]

Sometime in 2021, Victor Zakhaev learned about a secret war waged between Requiem and Omega Group in the 1980's over a strange exo-element with supernatural properties - Aetherium. Seeking to utilize this Aetherium against the West, he would hire mercenary group Terminus Outcomes and head to Zaravan with Terminus' leader, Jack Fletcher. After discovering two vials of weapons-grade Aetherium, they proceeded to engage in a firefight with local police. Desperate and outgunned, Zakhaev would throw one of the Aetherium vials at the police, causing them to turn into zombies and beginning an outbreak from the Dark Aether.

In response to this, the CIA would create Operation Deadbolt to contain the outbreak and set up an Exclusion Zone around Zaravan.
