Answer 2

it was called Hejaz and Najed

Hejaz is the western part including holy city of Mecca and separated from Najed by chain of mountains.

Najed is the middle and eastern part including Persian Gulf area.

it is really strange that they did not mentioned the above information in the movie as it is the real name of that country tell 1932 and Saudia is the royal family name. But as usual Saudis always hiding the facts and leaving every body confused and brainwashed.
