Bahrain is an island nation located in Asia 
. It has only 1 city, its capital Manama. It doesn't border any country in the game, however in reality it's connected to 
Saudi Arabia by a bridge.
Background[]
Bahrain is home to one of the oldest civilizations in the world. As far back as 3000 BC the Dilmun civilization was a trade center between the Indus Valley (India) and Ancient Mesopotamia for almost 1000 years. The former capital of the Dilmun, Qal'at al-Bahrain, was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2005.
Later Bahrain was taken over by the Assyrians and then the late Persian Empire. Next came Alexander the Great and the Greeks who renamed the island Tylos. The island was ruled over the next several hundreds of years by various Arab and Mediterranean countries and rulers.
In 1783 the Al Khalifa family, from the Bani Utbah tribe, captured Bahrain from Persia. They have ruled the island ever since. In the 1830s Bahrain became a British Protectorate. This meant they had British protection, but where also considered a British ally. This was mainly done to protect Bahrain from Ottoman Turkey.
In 1968, the British government decided to end its treaties in the Persian Gulf. In 1971 Bahrain became a fully independent country.

Strategy[]
How to Form Islamic Caliphate as Bahrain[]
Forming big formables as small nations is not easy, but can be done with a simple strategy. Forming Islamic Caliphate as Bahrain is not easy, but with your tiny balance and a tiny manpower limit you can still become powerful. First make a unit of 70k/80k troops with most if not all of your manpower. Next attack United Arab Emirates the reason why you shouldn't attack Qatar first is because you will lose all if not most of your troops trained or not attacking Qatar with only 70k/80k troops. Once United Arab Emirates is under your control attack Oman and Yemen if they are still AI and unclaimed at least.
Now add 40k/50k troops to your 1 unit now attack Qatar. After attacking Qatar, do not attack Saudi Arabia player or not. Work on your economy forcing Oman, Yemen, and UAE for war reparations and for you to seize their state territory should be enough to develop all your cities at least once or twice without going bankrupt.
Planes[]
After you have developed your cities, the appropriate amount of times buy Aluminum, Chromium, and Titanium (2 each). Now make a Aircraft Factory. An Air Force is important to have whether its an Attacker, Bomber, or a Fighter. Attackers will help you kill AI troops. Bombers will help you bomb enemy player cities. (Seriously don't use Bombers on AI) and fighters will help you with destroying enemy planes.
Attacking Saudi Arabia[]
Once you have built a Air Force attack Saudi Arabia with your attackers and bomb their troops until they are weakened then invade Saudi Arabia.
Invading the rest of the Middle East[]
After invading Saudi Arabia attack Kuwait and Jordan. Make more troops, you should have a lot of manpower waiting to be used by now (use it all). Now attack Iraq, try to take Baghdad as quick as possible because the sooner you take it the easier the whole invasion will be for you. (same goes for other nations with just 1 big city. Nigeria, Brazil, Argentina, Iran, Pakistan, Bangladesh, etc.)Invade Israel, Syria, and Lebanon. (You don't need to invade them all at once). Now you should be getting a lot bigger.
Invading Turkey.[]
After that start thinking of getting a big navy, as this should be very important for player wars and wars you cant win with just your troops. Invade 
Egypt use Destroyers, Battleships, or Carriers to bomb their 150k troops sitting in Cairo. Now take all of the African Nations you need Libya, Tunisia, Algeria, and Morocco. Invade Gibraltar with at least 110k Troops. Now invade Spain and Portugal. Now you need to focus on the East you have only three nations left Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. Invade Iran from every inch of your border after killing their Home Guard (90k Troops). After invading Iran which is obviously very difficult invade Afghanistan and Pakistan. Now you can form the Islamic Caliphate good job. (Please keep in mind its not going to be this easy because at least 1, 2, 3, or even more of these nations will be players plus India needs Pakistan and Afghanistan to form Maurya Empire and sometimes expands Westwards and invades Iran)
