Description
During WW1, the British made a proposition to the Arabs living in Ottoman territories, in which they would rebel against the Ottomans and help the British, and in exchange they would get their own state. The arabs did rebel, but their land was instead carved up. This map takes that idea, and expands upon it, where the Arabs get their land, but also later down the line are able to gain Sinai in exchange for joining the British side during WW2.

Side Note: Riyadh wouldn't be the capital, because the promise was to the Hasemites in Hejaz, and not the Saudis, so the capital imo would be Jeddah
