Ok, a rehash of my breeding program idea.
This time, the instigator would be Said bin Sultan. He ruled from 1804 to 1856.
He had 34 children (*grins*) and his descendants still rule Oman.
I'd butterfly away the 1840 moving of the capital, but I'd keep the 1856 splitting of the realm.

Why Said and not Kangxi? Simply, because I know some Arabic and I can have fun with the naming conventions...
 
If he had 34 kids, why exactly does he need a Breeding Program, I mean that is the whole point of one, to produce alot of kids.
 
Having a lot of kids introduces the problem of 'how do I choose the best future ruler' and 'how do I ensure it's my line which has the throne and not one of my brothers'' :)

From what I read (which I know is only Wiki) he seemed to decide that himself, his 3rd son for one realm and his sixth for the other, or were these two simply the two most senior members of the family left alive by the time of his death?
