Proposing the Almoravid Aggression Act: As soon as our manpower recovers, declare war on Morocco with the aim of taking the Caribbean and, if the war score allows, the provinces on the strait of Gibraltar, starting with Tangiers and Ceuta. The Sultan is free to choose the time and define what is a satifsying amount of manpower

I, Slaan Al-Andalusi, support this measure. Cadiz has long been our capital, but it has outlived its relevance. We must now govern as God wills, and the best way to govern well is to govern centrally and in peace.

I, Qaptin Al-Blivious, propose that we move the capital to Tulaytullah, and take steps to develop it further as befitting its status as the City of Sultans! We cannot govern from a position of weakness, and while Cadiz will always be in our hearts as the birthplace of the Jizrunids, may Allah bless them, Tulaytullah is the city befitting the times.

I, Sheikha Rabab bint Rabab al-Majnun, propose the Western Muslim Brotherhood Act: Let us try to mend relations with the Almorovids as much as possible. Our mighty victories have cost us huge amounts of money (oh, and people I guess), and the last thing we need is another expensive war. If we must go to war, it should be with the vulnerable Christians, or even with this so-called caliphate in the East that dares to demand our allegiance. We have centuries of friendship with Morocco--we should not throw that away after one king made a foolish decision. In addition to my faction members, I encourage other factions, especially the Ulema, to support this act in a coalition vote.

We hold most of Iberia and much of the Caribbean, you shortsighted imbecile! We will be resigned to be small when petty fools like you call for endless wars for the sake of your mad bloodlust, rather than taking advantage of peace to make ready. Do not abdicate your responsibilty by claiming you defer to the Sultan. You push for war upon our fellow Muslims - in the New World, no less - when we are surrounded by enemies! Our very capital was burned, and yet you still clamour for blood...

It's not really worth getting worked up over war with Morocco or whatever as long as we keep plugging away at New World domination. Worse comes to worse we can pull a Brazil for a while.

I propose that we renew the old alliance with Morocco. Let's not allow petty disputes to blind our good judgment. We stand the risk of becoming isolated from the rest of the Muslim world thanks to the so-called Caliph in Armenia, an alliance with Morocco will be good insurance against that.

Proposing The Coming Storm Act: Mandating that we spend the time we need to in order to recoup our military force(Land & Naval) and manpower up to pre-war levels, and prepare for the inevitable powder keg that is Europe to Ignite. When the conflict breaks out we should declare war on France in an endeavor to further Cripple France's ability to war with Al-Andalus. Reasoning: - We Beat France once but I highly doubt that we'll be able to do it again if they get better allies (Like the Almoravids) - We want to avoid any Military adventures until it can do the most good for the Sultanate - France Is going to Start Colonizing eventually, the fewer resources they have at home means the less they have to do so. - We probably won't get a better opportunity to kick France in the Teeth - I'm pretty sure the King of France said something rude about your mother edit: Also as an Aside What the hell was the Al-Andalus Navy doing up in the Channel?

I propose the Crown Lands Act, with this act, all territory governed by the Nobility, Merchants, and the Church shall be evaluated and those that would help His Majesty in this time of internal strife shall be taken from those estates. Basically bring down land controlled by the estates to the minimum cap.

I propose a continued Coalition between the Ulama and the Loyalists in order to support the Rebel Suppression Act. This coalition is also open to the other factions should they wish it, because all of us were wronged, all of us were egregiously harmed in the Sacking of Qadis and the despoilment of our own chamber! My fellow Majils, most pious Mullahs and Imams, most diligent supporters of the noble Jizrunid line, This is what happens when we let the Dhimmi keep their misguided ways unchecked. We must bring them into the light of Islam, or the foul curse of Seperatism will undo all that we have accomplished in Allah's name, setting back our military progress and pillaging the lifeblood of trade in our capital. Never again! Never again can we allow Christian fanatics to put all that we have worked for to the torch, never again can we allow Castilians or Leonese or Portuguese who adhere to one of the splintered branches of the Christian apostasy to ruin our blessed Andalus! I propose this Coalition act because the work we do is vital. To prevent rebellion, we must bring in our fellow Andalusi as true Brothers, not mere Dhimmi, but united in submission to Allah and obedience to our rightful Sultan. We are precluded from doing this on our own. The Rebel Suppression Act: Any Christian region that has rebelled against the Sultan must be slated for Conversion as a priority. In addition, we must seek to improve relations with our Muslim neighbours and overseas brethren so that we are free to avenge our naval losses against France and be ready to sack Paris again if they try anything. The path to victory can only be seen in the light of Islam. Forgetting that cost us the heart of Qadis. There will be yet more rebellions until we fully convert the Dhimmi into true and loyal Andalusi, but it is work that we must seek to accomplish. Dereliction of this duty leads us to desolation.

Seeking to improve relations covers that: The imperative leads away from impulsive war with those with whom we share our faith. We have not claimed all of Al-Andalus from the Christians, nor our rightful island holdings in the Mediterranean.
