The way it's portrayed in Special Missions #3, I believe it's supposed to be Libya.

Libya or really "make up your own".

Although Sharif was there from issue 1, I don't think they finally defined "Trucial Abysmia" until Special Missions #13 (the issue where Mangler dies). Then, they defined it as "on the east coast of Northern Africa".
For all intents and purposes, it was inspired by Libya. However, when Cobra visits Libya in issue 18, Sharif is not present. At that time, Sharif had probably become a forgotten character, so make of that what you will. Sharif, himself, could have been a mercenary working for whatever country greased his palm the most. In that regard, he could very well be from anywhere, and just happened to be working for Trucial Abysmia in his later Joe appearances. I don't believe they ever defined anything like: "I am Colonel Sharif and I was born in ______".
