"I'd rather die on my feet, than live on my knees." Emiliano Zapata

Following the return of the 'Caliph' and his family to Istanbul, there has been a rather large turmoil within the Turkish Administration. A large amount of money is changing hands, several ministers have resigned from office and at least 3 scandles have ruined the carreers of prominent officials.

From what can be seen, a rather extensive political war is underway within Turkey. Time will tell what the result may be.


The conflict is between various Royalist supporters, after the re-establishment of the Caliphate under Joint government with powerful ministers and a strong central head, and the Republicans who are trying to mitigate and stall the Royalist's movements. Due to several key government officials being old supporters/loyalists to the Royalists, as well as some minor funding and push from the Germans, the Royalists have gained the upperhand in the political war. As of yet, the military has not gotten involved and national stability is holding.
