I continued my megacampaign to about 100 years before the present.

[Padishah-Qaysar]

There's a few advantages to this:
- If you're looking for where you'd be in this timeline, it's more convenient to backtrack 100 years than 110 years and whatever number of days.
- I didn't want to just be hated by everyone, so I needed to let my infamy cool down.
- I didn't like how expensive electricity was.
- I was able to pass a couple of laws, as were my colonies.

Things are roughly the same, except the world is richer, I'm friends with Ethiopia and New Sweden, and I'm more confident in my superiority.

 

[Padishah-Qaysar]

There's literally just one Ainu woman in my entire empire. She doesn't wear clothes and I don't know why because she's still Animist. She's sadly starving.

Also, I'm noticing my main culture is obsessed with meat, sugar, and fine art!

 

[Padishah-Qaysar]

The Irish culture is globally extinct in this world... oh no.

 

[Padishah-Qaysar]

The game thinks the Afro-Spanish culture is Hispanophone, but it's actually Arab-speaking, so I guess it's Andalusian Arabic as previously assumed!

Though it doesn't say the same for the rest of the Arabic-speaking cultures in Spain, so... the game is wrong. It was Arabic-speaking in CK3 and it's Arabic-speaking now and I will edit the conversion mod accordingly.

Sweden looks to have done well.

Obviously, Spain did really well also.

I appreciate the survival of Byzantium, even if I don't know why they grabbed a chunk of Russia instead of attempting a reclamation of Anatolia.

All of Sweden's colonies became independent. Sweden is in a personal union under Poland. Sweden did not do as well as you think.

Now one thing I noticed… France is a tribe in the Amazon in this world.

I assume some people left France to adopt a new lifestyle in the rainforest and declare a new French confederation.

Turns out this is completely wrong because I didn't notice Denmark was in a customs union under Poland!

[Padishah-Qaysar]

I’ve noticed that I never made clothes a sin in any of my cultures, despite my original CK3 faith having Natural Primitivism. But hats, capes, shoes, gloves, thigh highs, those are all fine in a nudist faith, right? And flags. People like flags.

Clearer and less confusing maps.

[Padishah-Qaysar]

So I’m aware that in this megacampaign I had 13 male rulers in a row. So I’m headcanoning that the first of the 13 simply built up a large female harem and most of the harem was simply straight and preferred the male rulers. As future rulers added male concubines, most of them were gay or bi and also preferred the male rulers, which also preferred them.

Also, I’d already selected my dynasty to have great physical strength and large size, so I’m also headcanoning that this also contributed to the overwhelming number of male rulers until the last few rulers increasingly had neither trait.

Also, I’d already selected my dynasty to have great physical strength and large size, so I’m also headcanoning that this also contributed to the overwhelming number of male rulers until the final ruler (so far) Rupnath had neither trait.

I just realized this implies that the last few rulers have all been bi.

I have no problem with that.

 

[Padishah-Qaysar]

Actually, I’m also gonna headcanon that the last 3 rulers were all transmasc, for the sake of representation.

 

[Padishah-Qaysar]

So I figure Rupnath’s full title in English is:
Rupnath, Head of the House of Dyula, Padishah of Mali and Spain, Holy Roman Kaiser, Caliph of Maiaists, King of Kings, King of Mali, King of Spain, King of Britain, King of Francia, King of Italy, King of Maghreb, King of Germany, King of Nigeria, King of Kongo, King of Equatoria, King of Namibia-Botswana, King of Brazil, King of New Granada, King of Cuba, Emir of Suez, Emir of Panama, Emir of Hawaii

Obviously this would typically be in Classical Arabic, though.

 

[Padishah-Qaysar]

Should probably figure out what form of Arabic was spoken by my culture in this run. Used Wikipedia to help with this.

The alphabet with its consonant sounds would be:
‎ا - /ʔ/
‎ب - /b/
‎ج - /ʒ/
‎د - /d/
‎ه - /h/
‎و - /w/
‎ز - /z/
‎ح - /ħ/
‎ط - /tˤ/
‎ي - /j/
‎ك - /k/
‎ل‎ - /l/
‎م - /m/
‎ن - /n/
‎ص‎ - /sˤ/
‎ع - /ʕ/
‎ڢ - /f/
‎ض - /dˤ/
‎ڧ - /q/
‎ر‎ - /r/
‎س - /s/
‎ت - /t/
‎ث - /θ/
‎خ - /χ/
‎ذ - /ð/
‎ظ - /dˤ/
‎غ - /ʁ/
‎ش - /t͡ʃ/

Vowels and grammar did not change much from standard Andalusian Arabic.

Obviously this would typically be in Classical Arabic, though.

Updated title:
Rupnath, Head of the Dyula clan, Padishah of Spain and Mali, Holy Roman Kaiser, Caliph of Maiaists, King of Kings, King of Mali, King of Spain, King of Britain, King of Frankia, King of Italy, King of Maghreb, King of Germany, King of Nigeria, King of Kongo, King of Equatoria, King of Namibia-Botswana, King of Brazil, King of New Granada, King of Cuba, Emir of Suez, Emir of Panama

 

[Padishah-Qaysar]

I figured the culture mapmode was a bit hard to see.

So there's apparently an entire nation with 5 million people and no land that shares a name with two other countries in the Philippines.
