I know it says you're not recruiting, but I heard talk of needing an African or Middle Eastern nation. I've been keeping up with this RP, and it'd be cool to get in on.

I recommend 

1. Oranje or Transvaal (in modern South Africa). The Hannah Montana of WiR. Gets the best of both worlds with European tech (army level, literacy) and African resources.
2. Nejd,for T.E Lawrence potential.
3. Egypt is probs the strongest African state.
