Treaty of Stars

The Treaty of Stars is a landmark agreement signed in 1752, which formalized the peaceful coexistence and mutual development between the Saudi settlers and American communities in an alternate historical narrative where Saudi Arabia colonized the Americas. This treaty is celebrated for its role in fostering cultural synergy and laying the groundwork for a prosperous society.

Historical Context

The 18th century marked a period of significant exploration and colonization, with Saudi explorers venturing into the Americas. The establishment of New Riyadh, the first major Saudi settlement, set the stage for interactions with indigenous communities. These early encounters emphasized the need for a formal agreement to ensure harmonious relations and collaborative growth.

Negotiation and Signing

The treaty negotiations were led by Sultan Ahmed Al-Farsi, a visionary leader known for his diplomatic acumen. The discussions took place in the vibrant city of New Riyadh, where representatives from both Saudi and American communities gathered to deliberate the terms of cooperation.

Key provisions of the Treaty of Stars included:

  • Cultural Exchange: An emphasis on preserving and celebrating the unique cultural identities of both communities. This provision laid the foundation for initiatives like the Arabian Arts in American Colonies.
  • Shared Governance: The treaty introduced a hybrid governance model, integrating Saudi administrative practices with American democratic ideals, thereby ensuring fair representation and participation.
  • Economic Collaboration: Agreements on resource sharing and trade, particularly focusing on the burgeoning Petroleum Pathways, which became a cornerstone of the region's economic prosperity.

Impact and Legacy

The Treaty of Stars had a profound impact on the development of the Saudi-American colonies. It facilitated a period of unprecedented growth and cultural exchange, leading to the establishment of numerous educational and economic initiatives. The treaty is often credited with inspiring the Explorer's Caravan of 1820, a journey that expanded the territories and knowledge of the settlements.

The annual Desert Festival in New America serves as a testament to the treaty's enduring legacy, celebrating the shared heritage and unity between the Saudi and American communities. This festival attracts visitors from around the world, eager to partake in the rich tapestry of cultural traditions and innovations born from this unique historical narrative.
