| abstract | - "The Gherensi Caliphate was a nation that has been always been a power even before they adopted Islam as the national religion. The nation wasn't engaged in as much wars as other empires at their times. However, when they went to war, that war took a bloody long time. It is just amazing how the first nation to be founded is still around today. Okay, they did have a complete overhaul of the government and were under full occupation for a few years but you have to agree, Meditarreania, Pre World War II Gherensi Caliphate and Post World War II Gherensi Caliphate are the same."
