Boutros was in charge of the country for nine periods (Turns).
Shortly after being elected, Boutros began several projects inside the empire:
Mecca was a busy place. Many new pastures were being opened up, a marketplace was being constructed and several troops from the desert were being called in to relocate, eventually to Egypt. A road would eventually be built to connect the horses by the end of Boutros' reign:
Boutros tried to send diplomatic emissaries to both Ethiopia and Byzantium. Boutros had some success in Ethiopia, trading marble for a supply of cow, but the Ethiopians did not want any lasting trade relations:
Boutros' promise to develop trade relations with Byzantium, however, failed epically, with the Byzantines refusing to even associate themselves with the Muslims. MAny people even doubted his policy towards the Byzantines:
Several projects were underway in Egypt, all geared towards economic improvement. A courthouse was created in Abu Simbel to reduce maintenance costs.
In order to improve the research of technology in the empire, Boutros began projects for schools in Iskindariya. To finish the schools, Boutros bought many slaves and forced them to work tirelessly. A city of eight population quickly reduced to five as many sacrificed their lives for education. Afterwards, Iskindariya was ordered to produce skilled labourers to better improve the land around the empire:
Mid-way through Boutros' term, diplomats were sent again to Ethiopia, to find out what they can trade. Boutros was delighted when the diplomats returned with blueprints for a sailing ship, though they had to give out the knowledge of a feudal economy in order to do so:
When Sailing was discovered, Workers were sent to Mount Sinai to set up minles while Tell-Hisn, a city west of the Red Sea was ordered to construct a fleet of sailing ships. Boutros hopes to send these ships East to find trading partners, since his neighbours do not like trade:
Boutros decided to get the Ulama' to develop a calendar for the empire to use:
A Byzantine merchant travelled to Al-Uqsur to make trade for the Byzantines. Boutros allowed him to enter, but really wished that he could establish trade with the Byzantines:
Several projects were being done in Iraq, most notably a school and a road to connect Babil by land. Muslims travelling north of the city could spot the Byzantine-controlled town of Nineve, a remarkable beauty with a huge structure believed to have been built by ancient dwellers of these lands, possibly the Babili or the Persians:
Near the end of Boutros' reign, two very important events occurred.
First, Sana'a's wealthy families contributed vast amounts of their wealth to speed the construction of a calendar, which they believe will help them in their trades. At the same time, a project for a harbour is underway in Sana'a to increase the food supply of the city:
Second, many Muslims in Dardura rebelled against Ethiopian authority, possibly seeking to join the Muslim Community. Regardless, they have secured us the trade route of the Red Sea.
And here is the end of Boutros' reign:
The man later died of sickness, and the Muslim Council would again have to elect a new leader for the Community. Three new candidates are available:
Abdul-Wadood, Alemayehu:
An Ethiopian convert to Islam, he was the main leader involved in the revolt of Daradura, and he eventually fled to Mecca. He respected Boutros' friendly relations towards the Ethiopians, and wants to complete the projects Boutros has started.
Plans:
-Expand the navy of the Empire and find new trading partners.
-Improve the nation's espionage abilities, particularly to use against Byzantium.
-Maintain most of Boutros' policies.
-Research Guilds after Calendar is done.
Abdul-Fatah, Balashi:
A Muslim from Mesopotamia who joined the army, he remembers stories from his parents about the cruelty of Byzantium and the fate of his homeland if the Muslims do not show the Byzantines their place.
Plans:
-Cancel projects in Babil and Mecca to start producing military.
-Declare war on Byzantium at the correct time.
-Research Engineering after Calendar is done.
Abdul-Bariq, Uthman:
An Arab Muslim, he has always lived in the crowded city of Al-Uqsur since he moved there. He hates overcrowded areas, and believe that there isn't enough room for the population to settle in.
Plans:
-Start projects to build more cities in desirable areas (Might need help from you guys on where to do that)
-Cancel projects in Babil and Al-Uqsur to build courthouses there.
-Research civil service after Calendar is done.
