Saudi Civil War (Lover of the Muse)

The Saudi Civil War (2022-2027) was an armed conflict fought between the Saudi Republic and Saudi Monarchy (or House of Saud), with each side supported by various foreign and domestic allies.

Background
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia had benefited both financially and politically from America's dependence on them for oil, so long as that dependence existed America would criticize them and wring their hands about human rights abuses but would never actually do anything about it.

This changed in February 2021 when the United States, as a move towards the long-term goal of 100% renewable energy and energy independence, implemented a ban on oil imports from Saudi Arabia. As a result the Saudi Arabian economy entered into a recession.

Prince Muhammad Bin Salman responded to the recession by restoring austerity measures and further deregulating the economy. In October 2021, Muhammad Bin Salman was assasinated and his father King Salman resumed direct control of the country, becoming a much more authoritarian ruler. King Salman eventually reversed many of the reforms his son had implemented.
