The Middle-East is a cultural melting pot of ancient traditions and modern wonders. There are currently three important nations to current events - Qurac, Bialya, and Khandaq.
Originally Qurac and Bialya were two nations were united under the Biayan Empire, a monarchy which had existed since the late 15th Century. In the early 20th century, most of the royal family died while on a vacation in Europe, killed in a bomb attack in the south of France. While anarchists were officially blamed, most believed the murders to have been orchestrated by the leader of the Biaya military leader Abdullah Adnan. The General took no time in seizing control of the government and installing himself as President of the nation.
This did not sit well with the remaining good percentage of the civilian population. A civil war would soon erupt in the streets with forces loyal to Adnan battling paramilitary units against his military rule. The rebels capitalized on the divided loyalties within the Biayan military and continued to defeat the forces loyal to the General. Eventually, Adnan was forced to yield the western third of the Empire to his opposition. This split the nation into two: Biaya in the East and Qurac in the West.

Biaya continued to be a constitutional monarchy, although in name only. A minor member of the royal family was placed on the throne, while all decisions were made by the newly appointed president Adnan. In stark contrast, Qurac transitioned into a fully representative democracy and became a cultural center in the region.
Tense, but relatively peaceful coexistence existed between the two nations until the arrival of the woman known as Queen Bee. Possessing the ability to generate mind-altering pheromones, she quietly inserted herself the affairs of Bialya until she had both the President and the King under her thrall. After marrying the monarch in a lavish ceremony, both her husband and the President were killed in a tragic car accident, leaving Queen Bee the undisputed leader of the nation.
The new Queen of Bialya has turned her attention to Qurac and works tirelessly to reunite the two nations into a more glorious Greater Bialya.
Near the Sinai Peninsula, lies Khandaq. Thousands of years ago it was growing power in the region, rivaling their neighbors, the New Kingdom of Egypt. It continued to prosper under its Pharoah, protected by its supernatural Champion Teth-Adam. However, when the villain Akh-Ton attacked the national and murdered its citizens, Teth-Adam took revenge on the invader and then killed the Pharoah for his weakness. "Black Adam" would have placed himself on the throne if not for the actions of the Wizard, who stripped him of his powers and sealed him up in a tomb. Soon after Khandaq as absorbed in the New Kingdom as one of its provinces.
Since its glory days, the region has been conquered many times by many nations. Its citizens suffered under cruel kings and dictators or languished in periods of lawless anarchy. The region had never found any lasting amount of peace until the present day.
When Dr. Sivana found the ancient crypt of Teth-Adam in the ruins of the old capital Shiruta, he wished only to claim the powers of Shazam as his own. Instead, he resurrected Black Adam, who found he could once again tap into the powers of the Rock of Eternity.
Black Adam traveled to see the changes that occurred since he last walked the Earth. He encountered Captain Marvel and the Marvel Family, battling them on more than one occasion. Eventually, he encountered The Light, who offered to help him a position of leadership and aid in rebuilding his homeland if he would join their Injustice League. Defeated by the Justice League's covert Team, he expected to be rescued, but no help came.
Abandoned and betrayed, Black Adam broke free from Belle Reve Prison and traveled to his homeland. Slaughtering the warlords and gang leaders that ruled the region, he proclaimed the birth of a new Khandaq. In the last year, he has rebuilt the capital Shiruta, and protected his borders from at least a half-dozen incursions by neighboring states.
He is joined in this endeavor by his wife Adrianna Tomaz who is able to tap into the Egyptian goddess in order to be an avatar of Aset. Her younger brother Amon Tomaz has been given access to Black Adam's powers to become the hero Osiris.
