In the name of God who encourages people to work together and live together.

The east coast of the White sea extends from the Euphrates to the Nile.  One-thousand kilometers of coastlines from the north river to the south river on the East White sea.  Syria is the biggest country on the East coast of the White sea.  The southern shoreline of the East coast of the White sea is parallel with the Dead Sea Faultline and a mountain chain that extends for five-hundred kilometers.  The geography of the White sea with the geography of the Dead sea fault line and the mountain chain have influenced the demarcation of the borders for the countries of Lebanon, Israel, Gaza Strip, Jordan. 

Syria has 22 million people. In the neighbor countries of Syria, half of them are larger and half are smaller.  Egypt is the largest, having one-hundred and ten million people in the country.  Iran has ninety million people.  Turkiye has Eight-five million people.  The following countries are half the size of any of the largest countries however they are larger than Syria.  Iraq has forty-five million people.  Saudi arabia has Thirty-five million people. 

Several other countries are situated along the East of the White sea near Syria.  Each are half the size of Syria or as small as a fraction of the size.  Jordan has eleven million people. Greece has ten million people.  Israel has nine million people.  Lebanon has six million people.  Gaza Strip has two million people.  Cyprus has one million people. 

Nearly half a billion people live in this area between the Euphrates and the Nile river.  You will find that half of all of these people are living together in the biggest cities of their countries.  In Syria twenty-five percent live in the four cities of Damascus, Aleppo, Homs and Idlib. Today half of the population of Syria has been displaced from the borders of the country.  The population who remains inside the borders of Syria is a majority of men and they are men whose fathers fathers were born on this land.  The men with the deepest bloodlines are the last remaining people in the country of Syria today.  In the past two million lived in Damascus, two million in Aleppo, One million in Homs and one million in Idlib.  Today the size of the population has refocused to different cities than in the past.  Today three million have focused into Idlib.  Idlib is now the biggest city in Syria.  Damascus has become half of a million people.  Homs has become smaller in population and Aleppo has grown in size.  When the siege on the borders of Syria is lifted the neighbor countries will be very fast to economically bond with Syria because of their proximity and geographic interdependence. 

Egypt has twenty-five percent of the country living in the metropolis of Cairo and Alexandria.  Egypt is the biggest country on the Eastern White sea.  Iran has thirty percent of the population living in the metropolis of Tehran.  Turkiye is the next biggest.  Thirty percent of Turkiye lives in the metropolis of Istanbul.  Half of the country of Turkiye lives in the four biggest cities.  Ankara has five and a half million people.  Gazantiep has two million people.  Antalya has one million people.  Hatay province is significant to Syria because the territory blocks the access to the shores of the White sea.  Economically Hatay province is inseparable from Syria.  Only the imaginary borders and the politics can attempt to separate them.  One and a half million people live in Hatay province.  As you see with the biggest powers of the economy of these countries being wielded by a handful of cities along the east of the White sea. The biggest city of the country becomes the economic engine and supplies the power for the country to have international trade. 

Iraq has nearly thirty percent of the population living in the cities of Baghdad, Basrah, Fallujah and Karbala.  Baghdad has eight million.  Basrah has one million.  Fallujah has a half million people and Karbala has a half million people.  Saudi Arabis has forty percent of the population living in the four biggest cities.  Jeddah has five million people, Riyadh has four million people.  Mecca and Medina each have a half of a million people living there.  Jordan has more than half of the population living in three big cities.  Amman has four million people.  Irbid has two million people living there.  Zarqa has one and a half million people living there.  Greece has nearly forty percent of the people living in the metropolis of Athens city alone.  Athens is equal to nearly half of the economic power of the country of Greece.  Israel has twenty percent of the population living in three cities of Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Haifa.  Lebanon has sixty percent of the population living in three cities.  Beirut has half of the population of Lebanon living there, they are three million people in the city.  Tripoli and the metropolis of Sidon have each a quarter of a million people.  Cyprus has thirty percent of the population living in one city named Nicosia.
