A male Countryball. Usually called 'UAE,' he is an extremely wealthy oil power. He has a fun-loving personality. He is a Sunni Muslim. He isn't a hardline believer and loves cutting-edge technology like AI, space industries, and quantum computers. He is friends with Saudi Arabia and enemies with all Shiites.

A male Countryball. He suffers from a massive headache due to the Houthi rebels. He is hot-tempered but fun-loving. He has no money. He is a devout Sunni Muslim. He demands the return of Socotra Island, which is currently illegally occupied by the UAE. His largest city is Sana'a, but it's occupied by Houthi rebels (extremist terrorist insurgents); the actual largest city is Aden, and the second largest is Taiz.
A female Countryball. She gets angry if called by her old name, 'Muscat' or 'Oman-Muscat.' She follows Ibadi Islam, the third branch, and is not a hardliner. Because of this, she is friendly with both Shiites and Sunnis. She misses the past when the UAE was under her rule. Her largest city is Muscat, and her second largest is Salalah.
Qatar and Bahrain are different countries but are grouped together here (Qatar has the darker red flag, Bahrain has the lighter red). Qatar: A male Countryball. He is Sunni but used to be quite friendly with Shiites; because of this, he suffered a diplomatic break with Saudi Arabia and the UAE, leading to very bad relations. He is also oil-rich. He hates having his flag confused with Bahrain's. Largest city: Doha, second largest: Al Khor. Bahrain: A female Countryball. She has a dual-sect structure where the King is Sunni but the citizens are Shiite. She is very close to Saudi Arabia. Since her oil ran out early, she grew wealthy by becoming a banking hub. She hates having her flag confused with Qatar's. Largest city: Manama, second largest: Riffa.
A male Countryball. The ruling class is Shiite, but the citizens are Sunni. Consequently, Saudi Arabia and the UAE support the Sunni rebel forces with lots of money, while he criticizes the Shiite Syrian government. He is almost always in a state of civil war. Largest city: Damascus, second largest: Aleppo.
A male Countryball. He really has no distinct features. He has no oil, his economy is mediocre, and he is the only 'normal' person in Arabia who hasn't been caught up in civil wars or major conflicts. He is a pitiful figure who takes in refugees whenever other countries go to war. He is a Sunni Muslim. Largest city: Amman, second largest: Irbid.
A female Countryball. She is truly broke. She suffers because of the Hezbollah rebels (Shiite extremist insurgents) and is in chaos because there are 18 different religions, including Christianity and Islam. She is immune to explosions due to the 2020 Beirut port explosion. Largest city: Beirut, second largest: Tripoli.
A male Countryball. He is a Sunni Muslim. He has a bit of PTSD from being beaten down in wars with the US and Iran. He has plenty of oil in his land but cannot utilize it properly. He falls into civil war at every opportunity. Largest city: Baghdad, second largest: Basra.
A male Countryball. Uniquely, he is shaped like a cube. His religion is Judaism. Because of religion, he has fought with all the other Islamic nations; whenever Israel appears, the fighting Islamic nations call a truce and gang up on him. Of course, Israel himself is strong. Largest city: Jerusalem, second largest: Tel Aviv.
