 The Ulama Our Faith Guards the peoples of our land, it guards us from hell, from the barbarism of the men of the cross, and from the worst desire of the nobility. We must do all we can to encourage the spread of the one true faith to all people on Allah's earth.

League of Merchants The endless wars of the Old Taifa burned our fields and our ports. The Jihad after Jihad, sponsored by the Ulama sent thousands of our bravest to die on the seas to Filastin. Enough. We have no quarrel with the Northern kingdoms, nor should we build castles for men that do not work. We must do labour, and we must do so on the seas. Besides, I hear there are islands west of the Canarias that will make us rich enough to buy Aragon outright.

First Meeting of the Majlis, cont’d. The New Taifas have emerged as the first Ruling Faction, and will thus determine the course taken by the Sultanate over the next few years. An important thing to note is that members of the Majlis cannot change factions until the next Meeting, which will occur upon the death of the current Sultan. Factions The New Taifas The Taifas advocate for: - Expansion of the standing army, rather than the navy. - Rapid territorial expansion, especially on the Iberian Peninsula. - Constructing Army and Defense buildings. Effects: Bonus to army morale, larger army force limit, significantly smaller naval force limit, greater AE impact. – 33, PurpleXVI, ZearothK, MuteAllison, Chief Savage Man, Crazycryodude, Lord Cyrahzax, punched my v-card at camp, sheep-dodger, paragon1, theblastizard, Hitlers Gay Secret, Affi, tunapirate, Rodyle, Tendronai, Mikl, catlord, Sampatrick, ShootaBoy, Captain Oblivious, GSD, ThatBasqueGuy, Snipee, Flavius Belisarius, paragon1, LJN92, Bloody Pom, NewMars, Dikkfor, Aeromancia, Viola the Mad, Luhood, inscrutable horse.The Ulama The Ulama advocate for: - Religious conversion of non-Muslim provinces. - A focus on increasing development within Al Andalus. - Avoiding war with same-religion countries, and aiding them against Christian powers. - Constructing Taxation and Production buildings. Effects: Higher missionary strength, cheaper buildings, more tolerance of the true faith, less tolerance of heathens. – 15, Mountaineer, Duey, CommissarMega, Zakrelo, Frionnel, AJ_Impy, BravestOfTheLamps, Erwin the German, Sinner Sandwich, Ralepozozaxe, Slaan, LordGugs, devildragon777, Chatrapati, Prince Orcus, Veryslightlymad.The League of Merchants The Merchants advocate for: - A focus on trade and maximising income above all else. - Avoiding costly wars. - Constructing larger navies, both trade fleets and war navies. - Exploration and overseas expansion. - Constructing Trade and Navy buildings. Effects: Bonus to naval force limit, boost to trade power, significantly smaller army force limit. – 24, GunnerJ, Yvonmukluk, Dick Trauma, Technowolf, HannibalBarca, Archaeology Hat, Soup du Jour, Samovar, RZApublican, Ikasuhito, HailedUser, Lynneth, HiHo ChiRho, KYOON GRIFFEY JR, Whit27, the JJ, Rubix Squid, TildeATH, Talas, Kayten, The Lone Badger, Dance Officer, Purplebeard, Invader Zym.--- State of Affairs Government: Reformed Taifa System (power is divided between the Sultan and Majlis) Ruling Faction: The New Taifas Permitted Factions: The Ulama, the League of Merchants Rivals: none Alliances: none Subjects: none --- The Taifas currently have a majority in the Majlis, however this does not mean they alone will determine the future that Al Andalus takes. Smaller factions will be able to put forth their own proposals via policies, as described below. Policies Between updates, factions may submit Policies, which is essentially a way for minority factions to influence the direction taken in the next update. Policies generally include most things that I can do in-game, so they can range from declaring war and forming alliances to raising development and sabotaging reputation. Each faction may submit one policy, so members within a faction can either write up their own policy or declare their support an already-submitted policy, and the one with the most supporters will be carried out in the next update. The current Ruling Faction (faction with the most members) will be able to submit one extra policy, for a total of two. Policies are only valid for the length of a single update, after which they become void, even if they go unfulfilled. New policies must therefore be submitted between updates. If two different policies conflict, the Sultan will pick between them, so it in the interest of factions to avoid submitting clashing policies. Note: Some things cannot be submitted as policies, and can only be done if the right Ruling Faction is in power. For example, I will only construct manpower buildings when the Taifas are in power, I will only convert provinces when the Ulama are in power, and I will only colonise if the Merchants are in power. If unsure whether something qualifies as a policy, just say so and I’ll let you know. Example: I, x of the Taifas, propose that we declare war on England, with the intention of capturing London and severing their alliances. I, x of the Ulama, propose that we raise the development of Cadiz up to 30 development, as soon as possible. I, x of the League of Merchants, propose that we rival and embargo England, thus diminishing their trade power in the English Channel node. The Sultan (assuming he's a capable monarch, and not a 0/0/0) currently retains the right to veto any policy he either dislikes or feels threatened by. Especially talented sultans may even go beyond this, depending on their personality. --- For now, I'm just going to play according to the Ruling Faction and influential policies. Depending on how things go though, I may add a few extra things that can be determined by the Majlis in the future, like Laws and government changes. I’ll allow for about 12 hours for policies to be submitted and voted on, after which I’ll sit down and (finally) play the first actual update.

Though we control the gateway to the Great Ocean, we must secure our fortunes within the Mediterranean itself. We must establish a naval presence to protect our Trade Interests, particularly around our enclave on Sardinia and in Genoa. Therefore, I, HailedUser of the League of Merchants propose using privateers to extract wealth from Mediterranean nations, in particular the Genoese.

I, Al-rusim khataan taht-Impy of the Ulama, propose that we purge all infidel and apostate individuals and nations from the peninsula. As we are not in power, let us work with our New Taifa brothers and start with those to our north rather than those within our borders.

I, Qasim al-Cyrahzax of the glorious and unopposable Taifas, propose that we focus our efforts in annexation on the three westernmost Christian kingdoms of Iberia: Portugal, Galicia and Leon. These realms are the weakest of our neighbors and the most vulnerable to direct military force: we must crush them before greater Christian kingdoms, France especially, decide to interfere with them. Every Christian king in Iberia is threat and a wild card- it's intolerable!

Iberia is ours by right but Portugal should fall first. Controlling Sevillan trade will let us dominate the rest of Iberia with ease.

After drunkenly attempting to stab one of the merchants present at the assembly, Wali Affi is dragged out of the hall by a pair of guardsmen, and thrown into the oubliette to await just punishment for his crimes. Don't ban factions guys.

Only when the Christians are driven off the Iberian peninsula can the kingdom of Andalus turn its attention to projects of peace and faith. As long as the kingdom's enemies are at our borders, we can't afford to let down our guard. drat straight I'm supporting this policy.
