Pan-Arabism (Arabic: الوحدة العربية, romanized: al-wiḥda al-ʿarabīyyah) is an ideology that espouses the unification of all Arab people in a single nation-state, comprising the Arab countries of West Asia and North Africa from the Atlantic Ocean to the Arabian Sea, which is referred to as the Arab world. It is closely connected to Arab nationalism, which asserts the view that the Arabs constitute a single nation. It originated in the late 19th century among the Arab regions of the Ottoman Empire, and its popularity reached its height during the 1950s and 1960s. Advocates of pan-Arabism have often espoused Arab socialist principles and strongly opposed Western political involvement in the Arab world. It also sought to empower Arab states against outside forces by forming alliances and, to a lesser extent, economic co-operation.

Strategy[]
A good starting country is Egypt, as it has many resources and is one of the strongest countries in the Arab League. Upon spawning in, your main priority is to ally France, Germany, UK, or Russia. Securing relations with these countries is not needed, but it is recommended if any countries would like to invade you or stop your expansion into the rest of Africa or Asia. Usually, countries who wish to stop you are Italy, Spain, Turkey, and sometimes an Iran player. Stopping these countries diplomatically may only work for Iran, as Persian Empire is a relatively hard formable to make. As for the rest of them, forming the Italian Empire is easier than Roman Empire, the Spanish Empire is the only other formable for Spain other than the Iberian Union, which is one of the easiest formables to make, and Turkey players usually go for Asian countries first.
After securing relations place troops your Libyan and Israeli borders, quickly invade Libya, Algeria, Tunisia, Mauritania, and Morocco. This is so you can stop European expansion unto Africa. After successfully doing this, invade Israel, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia. At this point, it is suggested to form Mamluk Sultanate for the extra stability.
After this invade, Sudan, Eritrea (optional), Djibouti, Somalia, and Comoros. Invading the rest of the Arabian Peninsula should be relatively easy.
Forming the Arab League may be a long and cumbersome, as European countries can easily make alliances and invade you at any moment.
For playing as the other countries, form their other smaller formables to help with the process, since you'll get stability and cores.
Or you can attack Spain, Portugal, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Turkey to form the Islamic Caliphate.
Trivia[]
- Palestine is part of the Arab League but not Israel, making it the only Hebrew country in the formable.
