[Hippie Kiwis]

what is preview?

it a program in mac. it's not really supposed to be a thing that you color in maps
so no fill button
i would have to do that by hand

and i will probably use victoria 2 map

Don't use preview. It's not designed for that. use adobe illustrator or something. and the vicky 2 map is better.

Are you counting "homeland population" and "imperial population" as different groups? Because that's how we've done it to date.

Generic Info
Nation Name: The Sultanate of Morocco
Symbols: (ex. Flag, Coat of Arms, National Anthem, personifications, etc.) Black-and-white chequy on a red field.
Homeland Population: (population of everyone considered a citizen) 14,500,000
Imperial Population: (include population of colonies) 5,000
Location/Claims: (include number) Modern Morocco, northern Algeria, Tunisia abutting the Ayyubid Caliphate, the Spanish communities of Andalusia, Mursia, and Valencia, and the provinces of Badajoz, Ciudad Real, Albacete, and Baleares (and Gibraltar), Portugal south of (and including) Lisbon, and the Canary Islands.
Capital City: Seville (Ishbiliyya)

Government Info
Government Type: (ex. The USA is a Presidential Constitutional Federal Republic) Absolute monarchy
Brief Explanation of Government: (explain all the complex/unique stuff that can't be described in the type section) The Sultan is in charge. However, he is bound to respect his subjects by the dictates of Shari'a law, which he defies at his peril.
Ideology: (Refer to this) Imperialism, Autocracy, Islamism, Islamic multiculturalism.
Leader/s: (Head of State, Head of Government, etc.) Sultan Ibrahim ibn Haroun al-Mohad, Grand Vizier Yusuf ibn Tiflwit al-Mansur

Population Info
Brief Description of your people: The people are diverse - Maghrebis, Berbers, Andalusians - but they are all united by the gentle hand of government and the soothing sounds of the Islamic faith.
Religion: Sunni Islam.
Ethnicity: There are three dominant Islamic ethnic groups in Morocco - Maghrebis (native Moroccans), Berbers (native Algerians and Tunisians), and Andalusians (Arabs who became unique during centuries of life in Spain). The Maghrebis are the largest group, but the Andalusians have a special place because of their developed high culture - the royal court, despite being ethnically Maghrebi, is Andalusiophile.
Main/Accepted Culture(s): (ex. IRL-UK would be English, Scottish; only cultures that are dominant and the gov't favors) Maghrebi in first; Andalusian and Berber in 2nd.
Other Cultures: (ex. IRL-UK would have been Irish, Welsh, etc ; cultures that aren't accepted by the gov't/people) Catholic Spaniards, or really, Catholic anybody.



Economy
GDP Expectation as of 2001: Like 500 billion dollars, I guess.
Main Exports: Very fine things
Main Imports: Very fine things
Other information: Almohad Morocco is very much two countries lashed together - on the one side, developed, urbanized, sophisticated Andalusia, and on the other side, rural, rustic, backwards Maghreb. They are not well-integrated as countries.

Military Info
Army: (branches, number of troops, quality of army, etc,) Disproportionately large amounts of cavalry. The army is generally pretty average.
Navy: (branches, number of troops, quality of navy, etc,) 100 ships. The Almohad Sultanate holds the Straits of Gibraltar, and holds them well - its ships, and the men who fight on them, are the most important part of the army.

Other Info
Brief Description of your Economy: The economy of Andalusia is extremely sophisticated and elegant; the city of Cordoba (Qurtubah) was once the largest city in the Western World. In the South, however, the vast city of Marrakech is as sophisticated a town to be found anywhere in the Islamic world - the Cairo of the West - but the rest is all mostly barren. People live there, though, and the hardy hill-men are the main support of the government.
Goals: Defend Islam in Iberia, and support its expansion world-wide.
History: Not mandatoryBasically exactly the same as real life.
Special Factors: The Almohad Sultanate generally considers itself to be a vassal of the Ayyubid Caliphate, and supports it in most things.
