Maghreb

The government became a combination of both governments. Morocco had a hereditary Sultanate, while Algeria had an elected emir. It was agreed to combine the two much like the constitutional monarchies of Europe. The sultan became the head of state, while the emir became the head of government much like a prime minister, with the new title of Rayiys Alwuzara.

The Kingdom of Maghreb has its origins in antiquity. However, the union was stifled by capabilities, as well as the imperial ambitions of the Ottoman Empire, France, and Spain. During the French Civil War, Algeria secured its independence under the command of Emir Abdelkader ibn Muhyi al-Din. The second partner of the union, Morocco, secured their independence with the fall of the Spanish monarchy in 1920.

In the early 1920's, Morocco sought the assistance of Algeria for stability in the large, southern regions it inherited from the Spanish African Colonial Empire. While the militaries and governments began to be intertwined, a union began to be discussed seriously. In 1926, the details were agreed on, and the Sultanate of Maghreb was declared.

Maghreb faced many political challenges early on, as many of the politicians from the respective regions claimed they were being underrepresented in the legislature. Religion became a major contention as well, as the political and religious leaders had strayed away from the open acceptance of other religions. Islam had been declared the state religion, with significant restrictions on minority religions and perceived blasphemy. A uniting force had become contentions with Italy, who had begun to assert greater control over their colonies in North Africa. As a response, Maghreb became overwhelmed with refugees from Tunisia and Libya.

As a result from the political tension with Italy, when the World War began, Maghreb agreed to allow German and American forces to land on their coast, opening a front in North Africa in preparation for an Italian invasion. Germany had not only agreed to Maghreb sovereignty, but offered the region of Tunisia. In 1946, the North African Front commenced, and Libya and Tunisia were invaded by a combined American, German, and Maghrebi force.
