Understandable considering the Turks want some of your clay.

Thanks.

Map updated. I'm thinking I'll post the IC after we get one or two more applications. Thoughts?

Sounds good to me, my app should be up some time today.

I say we could start even now. That would push the reservants to submit their apps. But I am fine with it.

Nation Name: The Roman Empire/Basileía Rhōmaíōn
Claim:In purple

Whatever I can receive out of these claims, I'm not sure, but it might conflict with other claims.

Nevertheless, I'm thinking about a Byzantine Empire that vaguely survived through multiple semi-autonomous Despotates.

Hej! I will host a Romanian guy for the MilanMUN!

Nonetheless, submit the app soon! Slavia and Byzantium will crush the Turks! TOGETHER!

MilanMun?

But yeah, I'll make an app. Should I take a small piece of Italy too?

I don't want it to seem like I'm trying to create a too powerful Byzantium, but I just want to be around the same level as the Turks, maybe just a little weaker, to avoid being steamrolled.

The only issue I see, despite not being a co-OP or anything, is that I think Egypt claimed Judaea, southwestern/southern Turkey, its primary Egyptian lands of course, and Cyprus/I think some parts of Greece...

You could probably get away with Northern Greece and the rest of the Balkans, and perhaps some of southern/eastern Italy, maybe, tho.

Personally, I'd recommend a successor the the Western Roman Empire, which controls land in Greece, rather than a Byzantine successor, considering the fact that you're trying to be a feasible challenger to the ottomans, especially since Egypt controls southern Anatolia.

And a single province I claimed, which is, of course, the most important part to me.

I'm not the Ottoman Turks, as the Ottoman Emperor is not the emperor and my version of the Turkish Empire is slightly different.

I am the Empire of the Turks/the Turkish Empire. He is trying to stand up to the Turks, not the Ottomans.

Silly Khas.

Which territories would such an empire control then, besides from lands in Greece?

Likely most or all of Italy, some of the Balkans and maybe some territory in North Africa.

Again, not a co-OP or anything, just my two cents and I think that was Khas' meaning.

Well, it could certainly be in a worse position than the hypothetical Byzantines , sandwiched between Gaul, Turks, Slavs, and Egypt, but if I see which territories they control, then yeah, I could pick them.

[LsaZ]

Could I possibly add Yunnan and north Thailand to my territory?

True. But then again, animosity with the Slavs and Egyptians are solved by the fact that the Turks are interested in claiming some of their clay.

Milan Model United Nations. A simulation of the UN. I will be Angola in the Disarmament Committee (Libya, Enforcing treaties on small arms, and the new arms race are the various topics).

You should.

There is the link to the map in the OP, and the various reservations are also linked.

Full Nation Name: The East Arabian Sultanate
Shortened Name: East Arabia
Other Name(s): Bahrain; referring to the region of East Arabia as Bahrain is falling out of popularity however.
Flag:

Other Symbol[s]: This
Government: Absolute Monarchy; the Sultan rules all, although, in the interior, Imams still hold much power.
Ideology(If any): Trade, Maritime Expansion
Dominant Religion: Islam; the majority of the population following either Sunni or Ibadi.
Head of State: Sultan Mahir bin Rashad
Head of Government: Mahir bin Rashad
Other Important Officials: N/A
Population: Around 11 million
Capital(s): Muscat
Claim: Claims in lighter shade of purple
Territory Controlled: Controlled Territory
Military Population: Around 155,000
History: After the collapse of the caliphates across the Middle East, the Arabian Peninsula was, in many places, divided along tribal lines again, with some states emerging along the coast, notably Muscat. Expansion took place across Oman under the Nabhani dynasty; the country was consolidated, and expeditions pushed further north. Eventually, the Nabhani were deposed by the Yaruba dynasty. The Yaruba took the title of Imam, securing legitimacy with the interior of the country, and expansion into tribal lands and further north continued under the Yaruba. This was done under the pretense of freeing the country from outsider, European influence, such as the Portuguese. The Yaruba would drive them out Oman, taking back cities like Muscat, as well as taking not only Zanzibar, but also Hormuz from them. It should be noted, with Persia growing weaker due to the Turkish Empire, and the lack of British assistance, Hormuz had stayed in Portuguese hands for a longer amount of time. Soon, however, a struggle for power occurred during the reign of Saif bin Sultan II.

Saif bin Sultan II was not the favored heir to the throne, originally inheriting leadership, but being deposed for his brother; this process would happen a few more times, and, eventually, power in the country was split between Saif bin Sultan, whose power was along the coast, and Bal'arab bin Himyar, his cousin and rival Imam who held power in the interior. He was elected by those in the Yaruba dynasty who felt that Saif bin Sultan was far too indulgent to lead Oman. A weakened Persia was not able to give much help to the Imam, who was rapidly losing power, and Bal'arab was declared the Imam of Oman upon defeating him in battle. Expansion would continue, and a revitalized Oman continued to look overseas for wealth and colonies; the acquisition of Zanzibar had bolstered trade in the nation, so Oman set its sights on not just trading in the spice islands, but in taking a piece of them directly. Oman also established fledgling colonies in Australia; these are more sparsely populated, but it is hoped they can be developed into prosperous trading centers in the future. The nation is still under the control of the Yaruba, who, around 1800, declared themselves Sultans again, moving away from the Imams of the interior, and focusing the government back to the coasts. The current sultan is Mahir bin Rashad.

The Sultanate seeks to legitimize itself by claiming itself as a sort of successor state to the great empires of the past, and by expanding power in the Indian Ocean and Africa. The navy is in the process of becoming more like those of the nation’s European counterparts, a process which, it is hoped, may soon affect the entire country. The sultanate sees no problem in co-operation with foreign nations, and has grown somewhat tolerant due to the heavy merchant culture in the coastal cities.
