History of the Nation:
The Republic of Nigeria began to rise to power during its 2019 elections. Muhammadu Buhari in an attempt to secure power began to arrest political opponents such as Goodluck Jonathan. Eventually establishing one party rule under a military junta. In order to secure his position Buhari sought foreign backing for the United States in exchange for exclusive use of oil supplies and other various resources.

In order to take advantage of newly found American support Nigeria quickly pulled its peace keeping forces in various African Countries and quickly turned them towards the neighboring countries of Niger, Cameroon, and Benin. After nearly three years of war on all fronts Nigeria’s superior forces in terms of both numbers and military strength won them a decisive victory.

Shortly after their newly found conquest Buhari had died and was eventually succeeded by Mubashshir Hameed who strongly believed in a strong united West Africa under a single Islamic Religion. This lead to many wars against neighboring West African countries eventually leading to nearly six years of bloody conflict. Once Hameed secured the region he established the religious unity act. Anyone caught worshiping another god or not properly worshiping the Sunni faith would dace penalties as severe as death. Causing massacre not only in West African countries, but within Nigerian borders as well. Nearly 8 million people died as a result most Roman Catholics in Nigeria.

Shortly after World War III had begun Hameed chose to maintain his alliance with the United States. Even supplying Uranium, Oil, and other materials in order to help the war effort, while at the same time not directly intervening in the war. Six months into World War III Hameed had been assassinated by pro-independence revolutionaries, signaling the beginning of a massive uprising in the westernmost regions of Nigeria.

After nearly three long years of conflict and extreme strain on Nigerian resources Nigeria eventually surrendered to the insurgents letting them claim the regions of Liberia, Guinea, Guinea Bissau, and Sierra Leone. During that time Safar Hamidi had taken control and openly stated the entering the region was "Hameed's first mistake of many" and "the rest of Western Africa will remain untouched, so long as I have a choice in the matter". For Hamidi it was a time of rebuilding and maintaining stability for Nigeria. He was convinced that Nigeria would not survive another revolution at its current rate and that his only chance was to incite change.

Hamidi quickly began to pass many political reforms to the war torn Nigeria, slowly returning the power back to the people. On the 21st of March 2044 Hamidi had announced open elections for all political parties, even going as far as to encourage debate and political opposition. During the year of elections three political parties were established The Unionist Faction lead by Daifallah Mir, The Democratic Party lead by Hamidi, and The People's Party lead by Kamaaluddeen Waheed. The elections finally ended with nearly 46% of the vote going to the Unionist Faction and their president Daifallah Mir. Promising a return to a strong Nigeria one that all can enjoy.
