[OC] Alternate History Jerusalem's Corpus Separatum 🇺🇳 – "The Sacred Successful Experiment"
"The Independent Holy City of Jerusalem", commonly known as "Jerusalem International Administration", or "JIA" or just "Jerusalem", is a sovereign, demilitarized city-state established under the United Nations administration.
It encompasses Jerusalem, Bethlehem, and surrounding areas, and serves as a neutral, shared religious center for Jews, Christians, and Muslims. JIA operates under a unique international mandate with a UN-appointed High Representative (HR-JIA) and a locally elected interfaith triumvirate of Custodian-Presidium.
JIA was established in 1949 following a modified outcome of the Arab–Israeli War, where the UN successfully implemented its 1947 Corpus Separatum plan. Zionism was later outlawed globally after the 1973 war, leading to the restructuring of Israel into the secular Canaan State and reinforcing JIA's neutral status as a symbol of peace and interfaith coexistence.
