The Seas of the Sultan, Ottoman New World

You're TL is why I made my account :)

Hmmm... as far as I know every time an Islamic Nation gets into such a huge size, a remote, Islamic part of it would revolt and gain independence
Any chance for the colonies to at least try to gain independence?

Welcome to the board ! :D Good to see another Indonesian/Indonesian aware around besides me :cool:
 
Part XV

The culture of Al-Jaddidyah developed quite differently from that of it's Andalusian, Turkish or Arab influences. The culture of the Native Empires and tribes was infused with Old World Islamic influences created a vibrant area that all the world envied. Among the envy was the city of Medinat-ul-Muntazzari, whose epithet was "City of a Thousand Golden Domes", named after the time at Fajr prayers when the sun bounced of the golden domes inside the city that were built with captured Aztec gold. Labelled the Baghdad of the West, it became a seat of art, learning and poetry. A colourful mix of Turkish Nobles, Berber tribesmen, Crimean Tatars, Rumelian Horsemen, Arab Warriors, Granadan poets and Malian soldiers.

While the provinces of Al-Messtli, Al Gharb and Al-Qouba were populated mainly by Arabs and Berbers the provinces of Reisah, Thahhab-e-Fida and Al-Kawthar became pre-dominantly Turkish in nature. This created a heavy yet beautiful contrast between the two area. One which would influence later on policies of the provinces. While the Islamic areas prospered, so did those in the North. Dutch Colombia was populated rather quickly and became a large source for raw goods that were transfered back to Europe and finished, a policy implemented in Al-Jaddidyah as well. Portuguese Tegesta flourished as well, and so did New France in the St.Lawrence Estuary.

The British finally having got their piece of the Jadidi Pie claimed a rather un-pleasant site at the Hudson Bay which profited much from furs. The British established several outposts such as Fort Albany and New Anglia before moving inland and claiming swathes of the praries and shield.

Wonder if the Granadans would then colonize the Philippines ITTL... :D

I don't think the philippines as it is currently known existed in that timeline and parts of it will be a part of brunei empire, manila would be a part of brunei.

This is the ATL map of the philippines..

Part XVI

The nations of the Ottoman bloc, their allies and such were in a good position to enter the 18th century. While suffering a defeat in the Great Turkish War, they did not lose much. Russian attempts at expansion in Central Asia, were checked by the ever-growing Shaybanid Khanate, who made a swift move west, laying siege to Astrakhan with Tatar help. Peace was signed a month later. In Europe, Russia was once again flexing it's muscles, against Sweden. The Great Northern War, started in 1708, and ended 1717 ended Sweden's reign as the dominant Baltic Sea power, and allowed Russia to extend it's muscles. Territorial changes favoured Russia as well. Europe remained content with several limited wars fought here and there.

In India, the Mughal Empire Dara Shikoh's peaceful reign ended, and he was suceeded by his son Akbar II. Akbar pursued his father's doctrine of peace, and slowly absorbing western technologies, that arrived in the form of the British, Dutch and French East India Companies.

In Jadid, Al-Messtli continued to make small expansion north, converting the tribes of the Cherokee, Cheyenne, aiding their conquests. The Dutch continued their hold on the Eastern coast, dubbing the area "Virginia", after the Virgin Mary. The French continued to secure the Great Lakes, and Portugal was content with Tegesta. Rumour had it that the Russians had made fall on the Western coast of Jadid. It would only be a small amount of time, until the bottle would pop...
