Jamahiriya (1st)

The Jamahiriya was a concept in the minds of Ksehersonos and Al Ashtraki long before it became a reality, and as such, many believe it to have a solid ideological and spiritual base that will shape it in its future. Combining the founders' mutual religious and political beliefs to create a system of governance for an alliance, the Jamahiriya was born. The alliance's foundation was created with the aid of the works of prominent real-life Islamic Socialists, such as Muammar al-Qaddaffi of the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya and Dr. Ali Shariati of the Islamic Republic of Iran. In the process, similarities between the political and economic ideology of Socialism and the religious and spiritual message of Islam were enhanced, and the Jamahiriya has stated that it wishes to show how they both urge people to aid our fellow man wherever possible, and to make the world a better place for all people to live, regardless of such meaningless things as race, gender, and sexuality.

Significant Events
On 10 October 2008, the Islamic Consultative Assembly of the Jamahariya severely ammended the Charter of the Jamahiriya. The flag was also changed, with a plain red-white-green tricolor becoming the official flag, the former official flag becoming the flag of the triumvirate.

On 19 November 2008, Ksehersonos and Al Ashtraki, the two founders of the alliance, left the Jamahiriya to join Vox Populi. Dictatorial power was temporarly vested in Tahai, the President, until such time as emergency elections could be scheduled.
