STATE OF PALESTINE
Palestine (Arabic: فلسطين falasṭīn), officially the Republic of Palestine (جمهورية فلسطين jumhūriyat falasṭīn), is a country in the Middle East, straddling North Africa and Western Asia as well as the Mediterranean and Red Sea. Its territory consists of the Mandatory Palestine Area. The 1949 Armistice Agreement lines (the Green Line) separate Palestine proper from the territory of Israel (including West Jerusalem). Palestine also borders Egypt to the west along the Suez Canal, Jordan to the east across the Jordan River and Dead Sea, and Saudi Arabia to the southeast across the Gulf of Aqaba. Lebanon and Syria are located to the north and northeast, respectively, separated from the West Bank by Israeli territory. The country is geographically diverse: packed into Palestine's small area are snow-covered mountains, parched deserts, fertile fields, lush woodlands, and complex systems of wadis that feed into streams and rivers. No less than four different geographical zones are included in the territory of the country, and its climate ranges from arid to temperate to subtropical.
The First Palestinian Republic was proclaimed in the former British Mandate for Palestine shortly before the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, which erupted between the recently declared State of Israel and the Palestinian republic supported by a coalition of five Arab states, and ended in early 1949 with an armistice that established the Green Line along the front separating Israeli- and Arab-controlled areas. Following the war, the Arab side of the Green Line became the de facto Palestinian republic; however, the Palestinian government de jure maintained its claim over the entire territory of the former mandate, a claim which persists to this day and is counted as one of the central issues of the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian Conflict. The two decades of 1948–67 saw the Palestinian state develop its political life under the auspices of the Arab League, to which it was admitted in 1950, interspersed with a handful of regional confrontations, notably the Suez Crisis of 1956, which resulted in the transfer of the Sinai from Egyptian to Palestinian control and a joint Egyptian-Palestinian nationalisation agreement of the Suez Canal. During this time, the republic developed close ties with the Soviet Union as a bulwark against Western backing of Israel, reflected by a comprehensive economic and strategic relationship with Russia which lasts to this day.
Following the 1967 Six-Day War, which ended in Arab defeat, Palestine was occupied by the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) and its government exiled to Cairo. Under the occupation, Arabs were stripped of basic rights, and more and more Jewish settlements began to appear, often built atop demolished homes on stolen Palestinian land; the resulting indignation and popular anger soon led to the development of an insurgency. This culminated in the 1976–79 Sinai War, during which the Palestinian National Salvation Front (PNSF), led by Rifaf Khan and Yasser Arafat, confronted the occupation, eventually driving the IDF back into Israel proper and re-establishing the Palestinian republic. After the end of occupation, Khan and Arafat served as the fifth and sixth presidents of Palestine, respectively, both serving up to their deaths. The postwar Ba'athist administration established many social programs during the 1980s under Khan, including universal healthcare and a social security system. The late 1980s saw an exponential increase in the standard of living after the end of the reconstruction period; following increased military spending under Arafat in the early 1990s, confrontation with Israel re-erupted in two brief episodes in 1994 and 1996, respectively, which ended with the return of East Jerusalem to Palestinian control for the first time since 1967, and the establishment of a demilitarised zone encompassing the Old City of Jerusalem monitored by UN peacekeeping forces.
In 1998, after decades of war and conflict, Arab governments and the Israeli government, assisted by the United Nations and the United States Ministry of Foreign Affairs, created a United Nations Pact signed by both countries. This pact contains an agreement that the rights of Arabs and the rights of Jews have equal status. The United Nations Finally Appoints Yasser Arafat as President of the United State of Palestine.
In 2097, a Military Coup occurred. This Military Coup led to the breakdown of the United State of Palestine. The fighting continues to this day. The Palestinian Armed Forces are at war with the Rebel Army. A few days later, government troops succeeded in defeating the rebellion and restoring state legitimacy.

Geography
Continent:
Asia
Land Area:
26,554.11 sq. km
Terrain:
The terrain of the West Bank is mostly rugged dissected upland, with freshwater and vegetation in the west, but somewhat barren in the east closer to the Dead Sea. The elevation span reaches from a low on the northern shore of the Dead Sea at 429 m below sea level, to the highest point at Mount Nabi Yunis at 1,030 m (3,379 ft) above sea level. Southern Area is dominated by the Negev desert, covering some 16,000 square kilometres (6,178 sq mi), more than half of the country's total land area. The north of the Negev contains the Judean Desert, which, at its border with Jordan, contains the Dead Sea which, at −417 m (−1,368 ft) is the lowest point on Earth. The inland area of central Palestine is dominated by the Judean Hills of the West Bank, whilst the central and northern coastline consists of the flat and fertile Palestinian coastal plain. Inland, the northern region contains the Mount Carmel mountain range, which is followed inland by the fertile Jezreel Valley, and then the hilly Galilee region. The Sea of Galilee is located beyond this region and is bordered to the east by the Golan Heights.
The topography of the Gaza Strip is dominated by three ridges parallel to the coastline, which consist of Pleistocene-Holocene aged calcareous aeolian (wind deposited) sandstones, locally referred to as "kurkar", intercalated with red-coloured fine grained paleosols, referred to as "hamra". The three ridges are separated by wadis, which are filled with alluvial deposits. The terrain is flat or rolling, with dunes near the coast. The highest point is Abu 'Awdah (Joz Abu 'Auda), at 105 m (344 ft) above sea level.
The major river in Gaza Strip is Wadi Gaza, around which the Wadi Gaza Nature Reserve was established, to protect the only coastal wetland in the Strip.
Highest Peak:
Mt. Meron, 1,204 meters
Lowest Valley:
Dead Sea., -431 meters
Climate:
Temperatures in Palestine vary widely, especially during the winter. The climate in the West Bank is mostly Mediterranean, slightly cooler at elevated areas compared with the shoreline areas. In the east, the West Bank includes much of the Judean Desert including the western shoreline of the Dead Sea, characterised by dry and hot climate.
The Gaza Strip has a hot semi-arid climate (Köppen BSh), with warm winters during which practically all the annual rainfall occurs, and dry, hot summers. Despite the dryness, humidity is high throughout the year. Annual rainfall is higher than in any part of Egypt at between 225 mm (9 in) in the south and 400 mm (16 in) in the north, but almost all of this falls between November and February. Environmental problems include desertification; salination of fresh water; sewage treatment; water-borne diseases; soil degradation; and depletion and contamination of underground water resources. Coastal areas, such as those of Tel Aviv and Haifa, have a typical Mediterranean climate with cool, rainy winters and long, hot summers. The area of Beersheba and the Northern Negev have a semi-arid climate with hot summers, cool winters, and fewer rainy days. The Southern Negev and the Arava areas have a desert climate with very hot, dry summers, and mild winters with few days of rain. The highest temperature in the world outside Africa and North America as of 2021, 54 °C (129 °F), was recorded in 1942 in the Tirat Zvi kibbutz in the northern Jordan River valley. Mountainous regions can be windy and cold, and areas at elevation of 750 metres (2,460 ft) or more (same elevation as Jerusalem) will usually receive at least one snowfall each year. From May to September, rain in Palestine is rare.

Economy
Description:
The economy of Palestine is relatively diversified. The public sector is large and includes multiple state-owned corporations whose profits are reinvested into domestic infrastructure and social services. However in many ways the economy has stagnated due to an over-reliance on state industry in a market economy. Nevertheless, in addition to a reasonably developed service industry, the modern Palestinian economy features a growing medium and heavy industry sector, boosted by government subsidy and endeavours such as the Palestinian National Railway Company (Palrail), a state-owned enterprise founded in 1955 which owns all rail infrastructure in the country, and today runs six intercity passenger lines as well as significant freight rail transport operations across the region. The shipbuilding industry is also a rapidly expanding sector, with several manufacturers based on the Palestine Coast such as Jaffa Shipyard, as well as the shipping conglomerate Sinocrot, which operates one of world's largest container ship fleets. There is also a relatively well-developed oil industry: the Palestine National Oil & Gas Co. has major drilling operations in the north Sinai, and Sinocrot operates several platforms in the fields off the Mediterranean coast discovered in the late 1990s. Other resource-based industry includes mining in the south Sinai, as well as a newer artisan cosmetics industry based around a handful of companies crafting products from the rich minerals found in multiple deposits adjacent to the Dead Sea. In the last two decades, the nation has developed a relatively prosperous domestic defence industry in supplying the Palestinian military with much of its equipment, limiting military imports to tanks, aircraft and advanced weapons. The contemporary boom in domestic defence contractors such as Motefajrat el-Horriyeh has indirectly contributed to growth among investment in high-tech startups, an industry previously rare in the country.

Industries:
Tourism is another important sector of the Palestinian economy. Millions of international visitors are drawn from all corners of the globe to the country each year due to its central importance to all three Abrahamic faiths. Multitudes of local companies have developed around the industry, providing authentic dining and hospitality services as well as all sorts of related businesses like souvenir shops and companies offering guided tours. Some of the most popular sites for tourism include Mount Sinai and St. Catherine's Monastery, the Dead Sea and Jericho, and the Old City of Jerusalem, which is part of the demilitarised zone monitored by UN peacekeepers separating East and West Jerusalem and accessible only to pedestrians. The city of Sharm el-Sheikh, which overlooks a great coral reef on the Gulf of Aqaba, is home to multiple luxury beach resorts and frequently hosts national and international conventions and diplomatic conferences, notably the Arab League summits. The Ministry of Tourism was established during the presidency of Rifaf Khan in order to better facilitate international tourism by coordinating relevant businesses and services and subsidising promotional offers to attract further investment in the industry.
Military
History:
The military has traditionally played an important role in politics; coups have been attempted and twice succeeded; during the post-1967 Israeli occupation of Palestine, it was partisan remnants of the Palestinian military loyal to Ba'athist officers which led the uprising and eventual war that successfully shook off the occupation and reestablished the sovereign Palestinian republic, sidelining the exiled former leadership. Since the start of Ba'athist rule in 1979, the armed forces and militias have been central to a comprehensive coup-proofing policy. The National Guard’s dual purpose is to protect local communities in wartime to free up regular military forces for frontline combat, and to prevent the possibility of a coup by having a parallel hierarchy loyal to the Palestinian Regional Branch of the Ba'ath Party not under the command of the armed forces or the Minister of Defence. This second political role is shared by the Republican Guard, an elite mechanized army division responsible for protecting the President, Prime Minister and Cabinet of Palestine, and the only division of the armed forces allowed on the grounds of the Presidential Palace; its loyalty has been a decisive factor in determining the stability of a given administration.
Palestine has a relatively developed defence industry, which manages to supply much of the basic equipment to the armed forces including small arms, with ammunition being almost exclusively domestically produced; major national defence contractors include Motefajrat el-Horriyeh, which produces the F-5 service rifle and T-1 main battle tank, and the Jaffa Shipyard subsidiary Jamaat Buhar, which manufactures ships and naval armaments for the Palestinian Navy and exports naval products to Syria and Iran. Military service age is 18 to 49. All males must serve twenty-two months in the armed forces upon reaching 19; this service obligation may be delayed for post-secondary studies, but must be made up for upon graduation, usually via the commissioned officer corps. The three main branches each have a reserve component, which are set up to supply troops in wartime as required; in peacetime, they run the state's cadet programs for school-aged children and adolescents, teaching survival and defence skills and providing an important service to local communities via teamwork and leadership training and the building of confidence and patriotism.
