The United Arab Republic, also called the UAR or simply Arabia, is a country in the Arabian Peninsula. It replaced the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia when it collapsed during the Saudi-Iranian War, ending the rule of the House of Saud. Due to the devastation of the conflict and running out of oil reserves, the UAR is one of poorest countries in the world.
