Nusayria, officially the Alawite State of Nusayria, is a country in the Middle East. It borders on the Mediterranean Sea to the west, Lebanon to the south, Syria to the east and north. The capital city is Lattakia.
created in 1930 as a component of the Mandate for Syria. The French mandatory government originally planned to unify Alawia with the rest of Syria, but political protests from the Alawite Shiite majority spurred their plans, leading to their gaining their own state. The Republic of Nusayria would remain a strong supporter of France and fought alongside Vichy France during the early stages of WW2, later switching sides to fight alongside the Free French forces. In 1946, when the Mandate for Syria and Lebanon were granted independence, Alawia became an independent state under President Zaki al-Arsuzi. Al-Arsuzi ran a pro-American conservative dictatorship but was later overthrown in a 1973 revolution.
Prior to its independence, Alawia was a colonial possession of the Third French Republic and was managed as part of the French State of Aleppo, which was an integral element of the French Mandate of Syria. The country arose from a rebellion against France in order to prevent Syria from annexing the territory. During the Second World War, the French government struggled to keep control over the possession, and the British government pressed the French to abandon their activities in the region, resulting in the rebellion's swift victory.
Alawia has the 56th-largest economy. Its government is based on a unique blend of French-style government and traditional Arab values. Nusayria encourages higher ties with the west and has actively opened many American businesses in the country.
Nusayria was regarded as one of the best living places in 2013, though it ranks far behind other Levantine states in that regard due to decades of authoritarian rule. Nusayria today maintains an interesting syncretic culture with French, Arabic, Turkish, and Armenian influences and is one of the leading trading hubs in the Mediterranean. It is a member of several international entities, including the Arab League, NATO, United Nations and G20.
