One of these announcements was that of the newly proclaimed [[File:Gaddafi.png]] Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriyya in 1977. These actions caused some opposition to arise and plots against Gaddafi were made, but the state quickly suppressed then and issued warnings to anyone who may get any ideas.<ref name="Cycle" />

====Foreign Relations====

Gaddafi and his regime were known for funding groups abroad that alagined with his beliefs, like the [[File:Blacknat.png]] [[Black Nationalism|Black Panther Party]] in the U.S and the [[File:IrelandHarp.png]] [[Left-Wing Nationalism|IRA]] in Northern Ireland. These activities caused a growing disfavor of Gaddafi in the eyes of the [[File:Cball-US.png]] American government, and in 1986, carried out airstrikes on several sites in [[File:Gaddafi.png]] Libya, barley missing Gaddafi, but killing many members of his family in the process.<ref name="BioBritt" />

This relationship with [[File:Cball-US.png]] America and the [[File:Cball-UN.png]] international community only got worse after it was revealed that Gaddafi's regime had funded [[File:Terrorist.png]] terrorists who blew up a civilian plane over Lockerbie, [[File:Cball-Scotland.png]] Scotland in 1988, killing all onboard and some on the ground. As a result, the [[File:Cball-UN.png]] U.N and [[File:Cball-US.png]] America sanctioned [[File:Gaddafi.png]] Libya, but later, in the 90's, Gaddafi would hand over the alleged [[File:Terrorist.png]] terrorists and the [[File:Cball-UN.png]] U.N dropped the sanctions, but the [[File:Cball-US.png]] U.S would not do the same until 2003, when Gaddafi ended his weapons program.<ref name="BioBritt" />

Later in the same year as his promotion to head of the [[File:Cball-AfricanUnion.png]] AU, Gaddafi, giving a speech at a [[File:Cball-UN.png]] U.N General Assembly, famously tore a copy of the U.N charter, causing controversy in the international community.<ref name="BioBritt" />

====[[File:Unimon.png]]King of Kings[[File:Monarch.png]]====

In 2008, [[File:Gaddafi.png]]Muammar Gaddafi claimed the title of "King of Kings" after a gathering of more than 200 African [[File:Tribal.png]]tribal kings and chiefs endorsed his use of the title on 28 August that year, stating that "We have decided to recognise our [[File:Gaddafi.png]]brotherly leader as the '[[File:Unimon.png]]king of kings', [[File:Monarch.png]]sultans, [[File:Feud.png]]princes, [[File:Muslim_2.png]]sheikhs and [[File:Urb.png]]mayors of Africa". At the meeting, held in the city of [[File:Cball-Libya.png]]Benghazi, Gaddafi was given gifts including a throne, an 18th-century [[File:Muslim_2.png]]Qur'an, [[File:Trad.png]]traditional outfits and ostrich eggs. At the same meeting, Gaddafi urged his guests to put pressure on their own governments and speed the process of moving towards a [[File:Pan-Africanism.png]]unified African continent[[File:Blacknat.png]]. Gaddafi told those that attended the meeting that "We want an [[File:Mil.png]]African military[[File:Strato.png]] to defend [[File:Cball-AfricanUnion.png]]Africa, we want a single African currency, we want one [[File:Civnat.png]]African passport to travel within Africa". The meeting was later referred to as a "bizarre ceremony" in [[File:Mediastocracy_flair.png]] international media.

This rise in violence lead to condemnation from the [[File:Cball-UN.png]] international community, and lots of resignations from Libyan positions, like the Libyan ambassador to the [[File:Cball-UN.png]] U.N. Many Libyan embassies flew pre-Gaddafi flags in protest and many units of the [[File:StratoHelm.png]] military started to side with the protesters, causing Gaddafi's power to weaken significantly.<ref name="RevoltBritt" />
