Do you remember like there was the fictional state of Qumran in the British series Yes Minister? It is in reality a town in the West Bank, but the authors of the series used it to name a state. I am writing a story where I need help to:

1) to name a fictional country, which would be parallel to any Middle East country like Iraq, Syria etc. (no particular religious or ethnic affiliation, but with Islamic law code);

2) to name a dictator, like Bashar Assad, or Saddam Hussein;

3) to name a "good guy", that will eventually replace him after a coup.

Could you give me ideas for that? Thanks!

I am not Arab but I live in the Middle East,



Fictional state:

Alilah-Jannah - Alilah is Arabic for god, jannah is garden, so god's garden.

Bayth-Allah - Bayt is house, Allah is god.



Dictator

Dhul Fiqar Bazel

Dhul Fiqar - name of Prophet's sword, Bazel-courageous, braveheart



Good guy

Aasif Baqir

Aasif - an able minister, Baqir - close to heart

1- the Fictional Country :

=====================

in Arabic : Ard al Hob



in English : the land Of love

****************************************************************************************************************



2-the name of that fictional dictator :

=========================

Jaafar abd-al-Razek (a Virtual Name of course ...He Must Be a Saudi-arabian Guy , aged between 35 and 40 Years old ! )



***************************************************************************************************************



3- the name of that good guy

======================

David Hamdar (a virtual Name )





The Story Can Begin with the Following :

he was a bad Dictator, he did many bad things to his Country

(Killed , raped , etc...)

and then , people didn't take it no more , so they Bought Some Weapons , and went to the Street ,

but he sent His army, and a Large huge Combat had Place there !



and then , The Freedom-Fighters , Bombed Their Country , they Destroyed everything !

so , the Dictator Surrenders , and they take Him to the Prison for the rest of his Life !



The new Leader "DAVID HAMDAR" repaired Everything ...Planted New trees, and Built Some Parks and night Clubs .etc... and then That Country (The land Of Love) Became the 1st touristic Country in the Middle east !



Some Ideas about that Country :

It's located in the middle east , it Consists of Christians, Jews and Muslims !

They Lived in Peace , For ages ago !

There were no weapons at all ! but when that Dictator Came to the government , he ruined everything , so people Bought some weapons , and they Were like Fire !
