Funny how NONE of those countries are in Arabia proper. -- 23:57, 2 March 2007 201.21.96.49

How is that relevant? AnonMoos 00:10, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] I don't think this "country" existed.

I've never heard of this place, and I have several atlases from the period and know a bit about failed pan-arab ideals. Also, Syria and egypt were no longer in union in 1972. Zazaban 23:02, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

It never existed as a single nation-state with unified central administration and diplomatic representation, but it was a grandiose concept in the mind of Qaddhafi, which the Egyptian and Syrian governments pretended to go along with -- and it definitely had repercussions in the realm of flags, where Libya, Syria, and Egypt had exactly the same flag during much of the 1970's, with اتحاد الجمهوريات العربية written right on the flag...

The way the article puts it it sounds like it WAS single nation state. This needs to be fixed. Zazaban 21:23, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Removed "hoax" tag

The "hoax" tag adds nothing whatsoever to this article, since it's not a hoax -- it was a grandiose concept in the mind of Qaddhafi, which the Egyptian and Syrian governments pretended to go along with, and whose main real-world impact was in the realm of flags. That is not a hoax. AnonMoos 22:00, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

The article needs to make that MUCH more clear. Zazaban 22:45, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
