Description
A commission I made for a friend; in a world where Sultan Abdülaziz's reign ends with great success (1861 to 1900 in TTL), this surviving Ottoman Empire continues to exist into the 21st century as a semi-centralised state with a strong Islamic identity, though a secular Ottoman identity survives as a tool used by the powers-that-be to wrangle the non-Islamic citizens of this expansive state. The success of this policy is largely predicated on the economic security of the state, and with the astronomic growth of the 20th century behind Constantinople (driven by the Balkan industries and Arabic oil), it seems the upcoming century will be one heavily influenced by the Sublime Porte.INFORMATION (2000)
