| The '''Islamic Caliphate according to the Sacred Qustanti Tradition in Suristan''', also known as the '''Caliphate of Qustantistan''', is an insular {{wp|Islamic state}} located off eastern [[Sarpedon]].
| |
|
| |
| ==History==
| |
| ===Pre-Islamic===
| |
| The area covered by modern Qustantistan was first settled around 715 BC by Mecistes of Tylossos and a group of exiles. Mecistes and his followers had attempted a coup to topple the tyrant ruling Tylossos on behalf of [[Messisorian Kingdom|Messisoria]]. The attempt failed as it had little public support and Mecistes and his group were given the choice of being put to death or leaving the city. Mecistes and the majority chose exile. From Tylossos they sailed southeast to the island of Lissene, then only lightly populated and outside of Messisorian influence. There they founded a settlement they named Elateia.
| |
| ===Early Islam===
| |
| ====Patriarchate of Elateia====
| |
| ====Emergence of Qustantism====
| |
| ===Crusades===
| |
| During the [[Crusades]], the emergent [[Qustanti Islam|Qustanti]] religious minority made contact with western Crusaders about a potential alliance against the [[Oduniyyad Caliphate]]. The group successfully received Crusader support in an uprising which coincided with the [[Crusades#Third_Crusade_(1144)|Third Crusade]] in 1144, establishing independent control over the islands. The capture of the [[Melian Islands]] by the Crusaders and the establishment of an independent Qustanti realm in the islands to its south created an island barrier separating [[Sarpedon]] from the [[Oduniyyad Caliphate]], permanently severing Caliphal authority on the continent.

| ====Restoration====
| |
| ===Post-Restoration (2022-present)===
| |
|
| |
| ==Government==
| |
|
| |
| The Qustanti Caliphate is a theocratic monarchy. Though it is often described as an absolute monarchy, most scholars consider this a mischaracterisation, as the Caliph is subject to Sharia, and the Qur'an and Ummatic Tradition act as a body of constitutional law.
| |
|
| |
| The Caliphate regards itself as a sovereign entity that governs Qustantistan as a nation-state, but also rightfully claims religious and (in certain periods of history) civil authority over Qustanti Muslims outside of its territorial jurisdiction. Qustanti Muslims are required to pay tithes to the Caliphate through their congregations, and are obliged to participate in jihad if deemed called upon by the Caliph to defend the faith. All Qustantis, regardless of legal nationality, are considered subjects of the Caliph, and as such are automatically considered Qustanti nationals when in Rumelistan.
| |
|
| |
| ===Foreign Policy===
| |
| Qustantistan has an active foreign policy. Aside from national self-preservation, is main foreign policy interests are promoting Qustanti Islam and protecting Qustanti and other Shi'a minorities abroad, and seeking trade contacts to promote economic development. Qustantistan's main adversaries are the neighbouring Sunni [[State of Islam]], which Qustantis view as a false Caliphate, and [[Corumm]], which has long taken a hostile stance against its many Islamic neighbours. Many foreign policy analysts view Qustantistan and the State of Islam as locked in perpetual emnity for religious and geopolitical reasons, with both vying to establish themselves as the sole legitimate Islamic state and the dominant power in southeast Ixnay. The Qustanti-Batori rivalry was the main impetus behind the Nuclear Jihad programme (see below). The Caliphate's main ally is the Qustanti-dominated régime in [[Krakyerkir]].
| |
|
| |
| Qustantistan has good relations with both [[Woolzistan]] and [[Heku]], the latter being a critical trading partner and source of foreign investment. The Caliphate's energy reserves and fair treatment of its Coscivian population have engendered good relations with the [[Kiravian Federacy]].
| |
|
| |
| ===Military===
| |
| ====Nuclear Jihad====
| |
|
| |
| ==Society & Culture==
| |
| Qustantistan is a multiethnic, multilingual nation united by religion. Although the lowland ''Rumelavi'' of mixt Perso-Arabic and Græco-Roman heritage constitute the "mainstream" national culture of Rumelistan, a variety of smaller Iranic, Semitic, Hellenic, and Coscivian groups comprise the majority of the population.
| |
|
| |
| The Islamic calendar is used for both civil and religious purposes in Qustantistan, except in Coscivian communities, which use a different lunar calendar.

| |
| Religion is central to Qustanti life. Qustanti Islam is the state's ''raison d'être''. Over sixty-seven (67%) percent of Qustantistanis adhere to Qustanti Islam, which has been criticized by many Sunni and Shia clerics as a {{wp|syncretism|syncretic}} adoption of {{wp|Catholic}} traditions, influenced by [[Heku|Hekuvia]].
| |
|
| |
| Qustantistan does not provide for absolute, categorical freedom of religion. Rather, in accordance with Koranic law, the Caliphate extends religious toleration to other monotheists. Outside of Islam, the state accords official protection to Judaïsm, Mandæanism, Christianity, and Zoroastrianism. Adherents of these religions must pay a ''jizya'' tax, but are alotted special representation in the Majlis and are autonomous with regard to religious affairs and marital and family law. The public practice of non-monotheistic religions is prohibited, and Qustantistani nationals are forbidden from belonging to them. Foreign expatriates are permitted to practice other religions in private. {{wp|Apostasy in Islam|Apostasy from Islam}} is illegal and punishable by death, as is public proclamation of atheism.
| |
|
| |
| ===Language===
| |
| The two official and most widely-spoken languages in Qustantistan are {{wp|Persian language|Persian}} and {{wp|Arabic}}. Persian is the primary language of governmental affairs and business, though Arabic, the official liturgical language understood at a basic level by 90% of adult Qustantis, is more frequently used for inter-ethnic communication. Most urban dwellers are natively bilingual, switching fluidly between Arabic and Persian.
| |
|
| |
| ==Economy==
| |
| Qustantistan can be characterised as an emerging market economy.
