Middle East (Guns of the Patriots Incident)

An unnamed country in the Middle East is a place with constant political turmoil and little development.

History
The country, along with the rest of the Middle East, was a site of various proxy wars by the various Superpowers during the Cold War. After the Cold War ended, the simmering ethnic conflicts within the country, as well as the entirety of the Middle East, erupted into full scale civil wars, with some even having nuclear weapons as well as those weapons being under the command of commanders.

By 2014, the situation became fragile. The militiamen needed the money of being within the PMCs to feed their families, due to not having a decent enough education, and many housholds barely even having enough to scrape by. In addition, the regime currently in charge uses whatever money it has to pay PMCs to enforce order due to worrying about terrorists instead of feeding their people. The current regime also hired the British PMC Praying Mantis to help bring control over the region, as they wanted to buy their experience due to Praying Mantis's involvement in the War in Iraq. Liquid Ocelot, the de-facto leader of the Praying Mantis PMC unit, alsu came along, and attempted to use the opportunity to establish a camp within the area and attempt to hack into the SOP system to shut it down using "his" DNA. Meryl Silverburgh and Rat Patrol 1 were also sent to do PMC investigations due to the five previous inspection teams being killed off by Liquid Ocelot. Solid Snake arrived in the region, disguised as one of the Middle Eastern militiamen's instructors under Roy Campbell's request, officially for threat assessment, but in actuality because he was contracted to assassinate Liquid Ocelot before he ends up ruining the world. After Liquid Ocelot's attempt at hacking into the SOP system failed, the results ended up disastrous, with various members of the Praying Mantis PMC, Rat Patrol 1 (barring Akiba) and Solid Snake being knocked out by the resulting lockdown.
