Qurac and Bialya

Qurac and Bialya, prior to the formation of Greater Bialya.

Bialya is a country in the Middle East. Its capital is Al-Qawiya.[1] Since the annexation of its western neighbor Qurac, the country has been renamed Greater Bialya.

History[]

Early history[]

Officially, Bialya is a constitutional monarchy, ruled by Queen Bee.[2] In reality, it's a militaristic dictatorship ruled with an iron fist. Bialya was a member of the United Nations,[3] but it did not sign the UN's Justice League charter. Queen Bee uses its territory and military for her dealings with the Light.[4]

After the huge energy spike of the transport was detected by the Watchtower, the Team was sent to investigate. Psimon discovered them and took away their memories, and the Bialyan Republican Army was sent to capture them. The Team eventually managed to free the Sphere and make it to Qurac.[4]

Around November 17, Queen Bee hatched a plot to incorporate Qurac in her realm. She sent Psimon to Dhabar to mind control Rumaan Harjavti into giving up his country, while she kept up the public image by keeping press conference about the reunification from her royal palace.[1]

The final stages of the excavation process caused days of tremors and earthquakes across the world, which alerted the Justice League and the Team. They sent two squads to investigate; they eventually found the Temple of Marduk and caught Klarion and Blockbuster as they were about to unleash Tiamat. They had used the Team and captured Aquagirl in order to obtain the final pieces needed for the release. The squads led by Aqualad and Nightwing defeated Klarion and Tiamat respectively, but in order to lock Tiamat back in the prison, Aquagirl had to sacrifice herself.[6]

Queen Bee launched a full-scale invasion of the country of Qurac, using both conventional forces and meta-humans such as Mammoth.[9] The invasion caused a large number of Quraci civilians to flee the country as refugees, with many being admitted to Markovia.[10] In 2017,[3] after conquering Qurac, it was annexed by Bialya with the now enlarged country renamed "Greater Bialya" to reflect the unification of the two countries. Qurac's incumbent and last president, Sumaan Harjavti, was made Greater Bialya's United Nations ambassador.[11]
