Let's say a Kachee Caliphate exists on Pandiya now.
Since Moukere and Bhik (those poor refugees) are no more on map, I need some recruiting place for SHOCK and also refugee crisis. So we will have this NPC as an unstable nation run by a corrupt Caliph and his cronies. Due to the rampant corruption and sectarian violence between majority Sunni and minority but dominant Shia, this place is a hellhole and a breeding ground for SHOCK and other terror groups.
So...SHOCK and their Islamist allies try to take over Pandiya and remove the Caliph. The Caliph, who controls the island on the behalf of Athara Magarati government (which has been unable to control the situation there, relying on the Caliph and his cronies who often downplay the situation there), requests aid from AM gov to root out 'terrorist elements' and further proof appears that SHOCK leaders from AM have gone into hiding in this overseas (but so much autonomous and rebellious...which might also explain why only police and Vancouvian soldiers are patrolling AM streets...because most of AM's 20,000 soldiers did be now stationed in Pandiya after SHOCK attacks started in 2016) territory of AM (handed possibly by Noronican Empire or some other empire in 21st Century). The local Kachee (the denonym for the nationality; ethnically they are Khas-Kirats, Aprosians and Ipachis who converted to Islam) are fiercely seeking independence from AM and to become their own country.
Maybe after the AM v Van thing ends, the island nation even becomes an independent Islam republic that mends its ties with AM, Van and other nations of the Isles after much needed mediation. The CU, G4, the League and other organizations could have someone to invest their money for development into.
And historically, the Caliphate could be the nation Christian nations could have called crusades against.
So...it's your call Van. I mean, Pandiya is not being used at all...
Would there be meaningful crusades in TWI? I know that some were called in the 1800's, but nobody really paid them any heed unless they already happened to be at war with the Ottomans. Just how early are christians appearing in TWI anyway?
