Kunami (officially the Emirate of Kunami) is a Middle Eastern nation.

The country is located in the Persian Gulf, on the border of Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. It is also shown to have maritime borders with Iran and Bahrain.

Politics[]

Kunami is an unstable emirate that has been under military and economic sanctions for nearly a decade. Although officially a parliamentary monarchy, the emirate is a dictatorial regime desperate to legitimise itself on the national stage. It spends more on developing nuclear weapons than the life of the population.

The national was originally ruled by Emir Farhad Abbasi, but he later abdicated in favour of his more moderate nephew. The nations representative to the United States is Ambassador Salimi, who was later discovered to be responsible for the D.C. Metro Bombing. He knew that in the case of war with the United States, the Emir would be removed from power, and he and Amal Hamzi could then take power.

The military of the Emirate of Kunami is divided into several departments:

  • Royal Kunami Land Forces
  • Royal Kunami Air Force (includes Air Defense Forces)
  • Royal Kunami Navy (includes Marines and Special Forces)
  • Strategic Rocket Forces
  • Ministry of the National Guard
