Sheik Sallim, the Middle Eastern representative.
The Middle East is a minor power in Tropico 4.
Because the Middle Eastern economy is heavily reliant on oil, the region is friendly to buyers and very wary of any competitors. The region is Muslim and distrustful of nations that build too many Christian houses of worship.
The Middle East is openly hostile to the US and USSR.
