Ibelin, a very small, lesser-known country situated on the boarder between Chaudi Arabia and Eychypt. It is approximately the size of Greater London. Due to its size it has very few resources, although it does have very productive Silver mines, and so trades with other countries for what it needs.
It is a civilised nation, it's politics are more advanced than many other countries', including its treatment of women. In countries such as Chaudi Arabia, there is the common prejudice that men are better than women, although King Leto is attempting to change that.
Ibelin is ruled by Queen Sibylla, and she has a younger brother, Prince Balian. Both are often guests at King Leto's palace, and there is a particular friendship between the Prince and Leto's daughter, Princess Yasmine.
Queen Sibylla's parents are dead, killed when a small force of N'Tan were sent by Eychypt to kill them. Fortunately, the two children (for they were young at the time) were protected, and Ibelin's elite army were able to defeat all but two of the N'Tan, who are believed to be roaming the desert for the Prince and Queen, to complete their mission.
In terms of alliances, Ibelin is strongly allied to Chaudi Arabia. Although Chaudi Arabia are also allied to the Elven nations, Ibelin is not specifically allied to Enzed and Jenesys, although in terms of "My enemy's enemy is my friend", they are on the same side.
