Is their any history behind this more, or is it just for fun? BTW, where'd you get that template from?
[–]Capcombric 3 body  
Template looks like it's from one of he xpowers subs (/r/worldpowers or /r/globalpowers, most likely)

Template was from a /b/ risk thread. Very little history ATM but I can think of one in a day.

Holy god damn, look at those Ottomans go

If this happened I would literally move to the USA cause I don't wanna share a continent with something like the Ottomans.

You don't know anything about the country, you just know its a revival of the Ottoman Empire. For all you know it might be the greatest country in the world.

Look, just because it is powerful, it doesn't mean it is good. I'm not insulting the map, I think the map looks great. I just don't want it to happen irl.
P.S: What are the lighter green countries on the map? You know, the ones in Europe.

I never said that, I just said that it could be the greatest country in the world regardless of power.

What do you mean by "greatest country in the world"?
[–]PM_ME_UR_TOMATOES[S] 2 body  
Maybe it has the least corruption in the world, the best standard of living in the world, the most freedom in the world and etc.
[–]GloryToPrussia 1 bod  
Yea, but...
It's... it's... it's an ISLAMIC KHANATE/CALIPHATE/EMIRATE/WHATEVER OPRESSIVE SHARIA GOVERNMENT IT IS we're talking about here. Not a western country with good freedom and shit.

You know that for most of Islamic history, the Caliphates were the forward thinking parts of the region compared to the backwards west right?
Guess which was the first great power to decriminalise homosexuality? The Ottoman Empire, a full century before Britain decriminalised it. Not only that, the Ottoman Empire was actually controlled by a gay Grand Vizier at the time.
Not only that, since its inception, the Ottoman Empire allowed christians to live without punishment in its territories, which is why nations like Serbia and Romania were able to remain Christian even after so long. The Ottoman Empire also had the millet system.
Up until quite recently in the grand scheme of things, the Caliphates were either ahead during the time before colonisation and at the very least on par or around the ball park of the Western European powers, even under the Turkish decline.
It was not until World War I and II, and then the following unraveling of the Middle East and support for terrorist groups, etc. did radicalism really make such a strong comeback. Progressive states such as Iran actually went back as a result of the Western actions in the nation. We saw the reversal of progressiveness in nations like Syria, in Egypt, in Libya, etc.

Lol, no. The west was sophisticated and had a good deal of common sense. The west wasn't the part of the world that thought it was a good idea to dump towels on your head or pray to your god in the middle of the fucking desert.

... You're so stupid I don't even know what to say.
The West also prayed to the exact same fucking god the Middle East did. Also, what a nice sophisticated state that Alan Turing got to live in! Only took them a century to give Gays the same rights the Ottoman Empire did in 1858. Go West!

That's a very ignorant way of looking at the world.
The empire (or Sultanate) would be ruled by two people, a Sultan (or Sultanette) who would have a role similar to that of the UK prime minister, and a Caliph who would have a role similar to that of the Queen of the UK, more of a figurehead. The smaller districts would be governed by Khans, Emirs or Seikhs (who would be family members of the Sultan, usually his children) and the smaller counties or provinces of the districts would be governed by Pashas who would be elected. The Anatolian district would be under full control of the Sultan. They would use a very liberal view of Sharia law.
Just because its Islamic doesn't mean its a bad or terrible country. Would be more free than some western countries.

Just because it's Islamic doesn't mean it's a bad or terrible country.
Ahem Saudi Arabia
[–]PM_ME_UR_TOMATOES[S] 3 body  
Ahem Kazakhstan, UAE, Bahrain, Oman, Tunisia, Algeria, Indonesia, Azerbaijan.

But Saudi Arabia isn't inherently shitty because it's Muslim. It's shitty because it's a theocratic absolute monarchy that commits blatant human rights abuses and uses Islam to justify them.

Why does Persia have that teeny little bit of Cyprus?
[–]PM_ME_UR_TOMATOES[S] 1 bod  
In the old version of the map, Persia had a lot of snippets and colonies basically everywhere on Ottoman territory, and so did the Ottomans on Persian territory, as my imagination goes these the empires were rivals but they were allies as well and the Ottomans wanted ports in the Indian ocean and the Persians wanted ports in the Med and Atlantic oceans, I changed that because it looked silly, I guess I forgot Western Cyprus.

Would look a lot better with proper borders.
