Arabia

Arabia is a playable civilization in Civilization V: Brave New World.

Season 3
Arabia was chosen by Rythian, who founded the capital of Mecca, initially renaming it to Desert Jewel. Eventually realizing that Desert Jewel was not actually in the desert, he renamed it again to Orgrimmar.

Due to the India/Sweden conflict in season 2, Rythian wanted to make sure he had no conflict with others players. He stood his ground when Sjin attempted to settle cities all around his borders, and the two civs began a long history of friendship and trade.

Over the course of thousands of years, Sjin's border growth overtook much of Rythian's possible expansion, boxing him in from the south and east, and having Byzantium and the sea blocking him in from the west, east and north.

Towards the end of the world war between Lewis and the Duncan/Sjin alliance, Sips convinced Rythian to betray Duncan and Sjin, side with Lewis and fight against Spain. Before Lewis' victory, Rythian managed to capture Sjin's city of Rainbows.
