Description The Wikipedia-style country info-box for the United Arab Kingdoms from my A Greater Arabia  map.

More fun facts about Arabia:
It is the seventh largest country in the world, behind Australia and slightly larger than India, is the second largest country situated entirely in Asia, after China, and the second largest monarchy, after Canada. It is the largest Muslim state.
Though Arabic is the official language, English, French, and Portuguese are widely spoken, along with numerous South Asian languages.
It is the world's only federal elective absolute monarchy. Its system of government is similar to Malaysia, but without the constitutional limitations on the King's power.
There have been four heads of state since the country's independence: 2 from the Hashemite dynasty (both Kings of Hegaz), 1 from the Saud dynasty (the King of Palestine), and 1 from the Mutawakkilite dynasty (the King of Yemen).
The Council of Monarchs is an assembly of all the heads of the various constituents of the UAK, and acts as an informal advisory body to the King. Its chair has only ever been held by a member of the Saud family, and usually by the King of Palestine.
There is an intense internal power-struggle between several of the major ruling families in the UAK, including the Hashemites, Sauds, Mutawakkilites, Aulaqis, and al-Thanis.
It has the world's largest reserves of oil and natural gas, almost as much as the rest of the world combined. Owing to this, it is considered to be one of the most powerful states on Earth.

I'd rather have the following for the motto's second part (I'm not sure about the Arabic script, though): "Wahdahu laa shareeka lah."

A terrible idea to have the Saudis control it all. If it weren't for the Sykes-Picot agreement and the general Franco-British betrayal of the Arabs a more likely outcome would be a large state ruled by the Hashemites, probably ruled from Damascus if not Mecca, where the Saudis would rule a pretty unsignificant state in the middle of the desert. The oil in the Gulf would be controlled by a larger union of Emirates and Iran. Both the Hashemite kingdom and the Guld countries would be a lot more liberal and less tyrannical than what is the case today. That would've been a better Middle East.

There are too few Jews in Palestine you might think, also Hebrew is not a accepted language in Arabia.

I'm making a country infobox, and when I put the file of the flag in. Around it was the filename and size here's a picture of it for you to see: i.imgur.com/zwVFpHI.png So how do I get rid of it?

The form of government reminds me of both UAE and Malaysia (although the latter has a parliamentary form of government).
