Nation name: The Sultanate of Islambol       

 

Discord name: BICCBOI#4136

 

A couple sentences about your nation: The Sultanate of Islambol is a newly emerging nation with an immature economy and a society fresh from civil war. Politicians who were once beacons of hope and national progress eventually gave into the greed and sold themselves to soulless corporations and large conglomerates. That is why, after coups backed by imperial loyalists, the Sultan is back on the Diamond Throne. A being unburdened with worldly desires and with only one goal in mind. The immediate and effective industrialization and growth of the Sublime Islambolian State

Any other inspirations or concepts you want to share:

Unfortunately I could not find the biome map for the place I have requested therefore I would like to adjust what my nation looks like depending on what the lorekeepers (apologies if that’s the incorrect term) have predetermined for that region.

My main concepts for Islambol is that there is a vast range of ‘biomes’ in the land, from never-ending desert plains to vast mountains and thick, impenetrable forests. All of these are ready and ripe for the exploitation and mass industrialization the Sultan brings to a once war-torn nation to ever boost its struggling, however emerging, economy.
