Lions Of Babylon

Lions Of Babylon takes place sometime between 2003 and the present day. The mod revolves around three primary factions. MEA - The Middle Eastern Alliance and the BPS - Babylon Police Service, as well as the insurgent MFB - Mesopotamian Freedom Brigade.
The mod is heavily inspired by the Middle Eastern Alliance from the game Squad, however not a true copy of the Squad faction but instead a more creative approach.

Inspired by middle eastern nations such as Iraq, Iran, Turkey, and Syria, the Middle Eastern Alliance has a wide variety of weapons and equipment. Recognized by their iconic G3s most of the MEA's small arms are imported from the west, whereas most vehicles and armor are acquired from the east. The MEA can be found both under the BLUFOR tab as well as the INDP. tab, which also reflects the politics of the nation. Although the nation was western-aligned in the 80's the favor turned throughout the 90s and the MEA suddenly found itself in the middle of difficult relations with both the west and other middle eastern nations.

The nation deals with internal instability, as the government continues to crack down on certain social and ethnic groups within the country. One of the largest opposition parties and armed organizations is the Mesopotamian Freedom Brigade, which is fighting an insurgency against the government. It is unclear exactly who funds and arms the MFB, however many suspect it is the works of western military, trying to destablize the region or install a more pro-western goverment. Depsite this the MEA and the west has agreed to fight Islamic groups throughout the region, even signing an occsinal ceasefire with the MFB to fight a common enemy.
