Hi all,
I have created a map just for fun, showing the Middle East/Islamic countries with borders redrawn. This was done for entertainment purposes only, and does not have any serious intent. The setting of this map is now (April 2019) but re-imagined in a way that would be more advantageous to the Muslim countries. It would also right a few of my favourite historical "wrongs".
Key: Dark green - Turkey
Blue - Egypt / Arab Sunni state
Brown - Greater Iran
Red - North African Arabic Federation
Light green - Morocco
Purple - Israel
Pink - Emirate of Sicily
Gold - Andalus
Sandy beige - federation of UAE, Oman and Yemen
Historical notes -
1. Turkey has united with the Muslim countries of Albania and Bosnia, and has also regained Salonica (hometown of Ataturk)
2. The Treaty of Gulistan (1813) has been reversed. Iran recovers territory from Russia and Azerbaijan
3. The Shia part of Iraq unites with Iran. It will retain control over its own internal affairs as a federated state of Greater Iran.
4. Kurdistan (orange) has been established. It is high time the Kurds had a country of their own. Territory is gained from Turkey, Syria and Iraq.
5. The nations of the Emirate of Sicily (Pink) and Andalus (Gold) have been created. These former Muslim territories will return to Muslim control as they were unjustly seized during the Middle Ages. The "reconquista" is rejected and reversed.
General points:
By uniting several Muslim countries together and expanding others, I have significantly reduced the number of small, weak Muslim countries, and replaced them with much larger, more powerful empires. The aim of this change is to increase the power and influence of the Muslim countries, and enable them to stand on their own strength and resist outside interference in their affairs.
Lastly, though Byzantine fanatic may talk about hypothetical border changes, it is not meant to be taken seriously.
