Syriaball

Syriaball is an embattled failed state which happens to be a countryball in the Middle East. It has a population of around 20 million. It doesn't care about human rights and likes dropping bombs on its own clay. It is a result of UKball and Franceball deciding to make a colouring in book of the middle east and pushed a bunch of different ethnic groups into one country and cross their fingers.

History
Throughout History, Syriaball was a proud trampling ground for stronger countryballs. She was part of the Egyptian empire, then of course she was part of the Babylonian Empireball. In 7th century B.C until she was annexed by Persiaball (Ancient Kebab) in 538 B.C., who occupied her until she was taken by Alexander the Great 200 years later. But after that she was always a free, self-sufficient countryball, but then was subdued by the SPQRball in 64 B.C., and later fell under the rule of the Byzantineball until 634 A.D. Syriaball became known as Polandball of Middle East because no other territory is so easily conquered.

It is also worth mentioning that Syria was occupied by France between 1928 and 1939, But in 1940, Naziball occupied most of Syriaball's clay. In 1942, UKball's forces liberated most of French Syria's clay. After that, modern Syriaball resulted from the drawing skills of UKball and Franceball

Civil War
In 2011, during the Arab Spring, Syria erupted into a civil war between three rival factions: Kurdistan Forces, Syrian Government and Syrian Rebels. The Government then warned the west of the threat of ISISball, which the west largely dismissed. A bunch of countries decided to intervene and it became the ground for a proxy war between Russiaball, USAball and Turkeyball who are each trying to gear Syriaball to their vision of its future. Ceasefires, Chemical Weapons and Drones basically describe the situation right now, as each country tries to assert their will over the country. Syriaball may be a failed state for a little while longer until someone actually decides to grow up and thing of him. Many current world events in the world result from this, including the European Migrant Crisis and ISISball claiming a bunch of clay. Basically thanks to this clay takeover, Syriaball has allied with other regional groups to retake the country, with possible assumed autonomy.
