== Israel ==
Israel now occupies several territories, such as Jordan, the Lebanon, the Sinai region of Egypt and and a large portion of Syria; expansion was heavy for the country in 2045, when terrorist threats and internal pressure sent the country on an expansionist bent. By 2098, it had captured its current territories, and the entirety of Syria.

The country is currently considering further expansion into Egypt, which currently boasts a greater GDP, in no small part due to the massive Sun Farms used to suply much of the region's energy.

A number of cities outside of Israel are officially considered independent Israeli colonies, though whether the city or the country the city resides in return this feeling varies. 

Investigation into human rights abuses continue following the 2203 Cyprus Intrusion, a failed expansion attempt. Terrorist attacks are also a frequent event.
