The Corporate Republic of Palestine, or just Palestine as it is often referred to, is a small Middle Eastern state located in the Levant. Palestine is home to some 12.2 million citizens, and controls and area of approximately 22,072 square kilometers of land. It replaced the State of Israel in 2007 after the 2007 Pravus–Israeli War, which destroyed much of the Israeli military, and placed the Palestinian people in control of the deeply disputed region after some 60 years of back and forth conflicts and debates.
