Middle Eastern Federation

The Middle Eastern Federation is (or was) a comparatively small Union based in the middle east. Little is known about their organization or composition, only that they were fairly were not democratic like their E.U. neighbors (as mentioned in a speech by The Emperor). The MEF would seem to be a largely Arab and Muslim nation, based on the dress of their soldiers and the architecture glimpsed in episode 5, though the map given shows it does no hold the traditionally Arab parts of North Africa, nor the Muslim parts of Anatolia, Central Asia, or the Caucuses.

Following Lelouch's ascension to the throne, he abolished Britannia's colonial rule, returning each respective area to their former government and name. It is presumed that the Middle Eastern Federation's status was restored as well.

After the death of Lelouch, it is presumed that Middle Eastern Federation was release along with the other country captured by Britannia.
