The years after the fall of the western roman empire were though.
But in the south of Italy many dreamers settled. They dreamed about the golden Roman ages and sought to renew these times. They do have a few tools to accomplish this: diplomacy, trade and a decent fighting force.

From this moment, it is to be known to all people in these lands that the Emir Al-Hakam of the Umayyad Family claims the throne of the Caliph of Corduba. All prayers made from now on are to be made for the health of the Caliph of Qurtuba, Al-Hakam the Second, and his son, Abd-ar-Rahman...
This latest news were the only thing that people talked about ever since the day before, 6 Shawwal of the year 199 after the Hijra (22nd May 815 in the Christian calendar). The Emir of Qurtuba (now Caliph) had been, for the last sixty years (ever since Abd-ar-Rahman the First arrived from Baghdad, having survived an attack on his family while the others perished), nominally a subdit of the Caliph of Baghdad, although he had acted with more independence as time passed. This, the people supposed, was Al-Hakam's way to tell them that, from now on, they were truly independent from an empire whose capital was so far away from them that it didn't care at all for what happened to them.
However, in spite of what could be considered total independence from the politics of Baghdad, relationships with the Caliphate were excellent. A trade agreement had recently been closed, bringing many needed things to the Umayyad ports in Malaqah (Málaga), Qadis (Cádiz) and Balansiya (Valencia) in exchange of the gold from the mines in the surroundings of Ilbira (Granada: in fact, Granada was the name given to the Jewish quarter of the city, until the city was destroyed in the year 1010 and this quarter was brought into the city) and the silver mines around the ancient Roman city of Carthago Nova. These metals were also used in the mints to make coins: right now, every mint in the country was changing the molds in which the coins where made to reflect the fact that now Al-Hakam was Caliph and not Emir.
Meanwhile, further in the north, several groups of soldiers were staying alert. The frontier with the Christian Kingdom of Asturias was always a dangerous place, and soldiers were always attentive to make sure that no soldier from there tried to cross the borders. It was true that Asturias was a tributary state to the Caliphate, but they were always trying to break the treaties and attacked undefended places in violent and rash razzias, which were then met in kind by the Emir's army.
The border with the Franks were far more peaceful. They had yet to forget the fact that even their monarch Carolus (whom they called "the Great") had failed in his attempt to invade the Emirate, not managing to conquer the city of Saraqusta (Zaragoza) in the year 160 AH, in spite of leading a big army. However, watchmen in the region remained vigilant, so that they were not surprised by a possible sudden appearance of an army in their watch. Their spies in the region would also keep them appraised of any army moves towards the south.
Many things waited for the Umayyad Caliphate of Qurtuba in the future years. Only Allah knew if those things were good for the Caliphate or not.

You are already independent from us. Why would you seek protection from your Christian brothers? If you are ready to see the error of your ways and finally surrender to the true religion of Allah, we will welcome you with open arms.

From: The Asturias
Your words of freindship calms us, tension between our nations have been high in the past, we know not who to trust, that is why we must seek the protection of God.

Yea...I am assuming the largest dot is where the capital is supposed to be. Those need to be changed, for a couple nations.

OK, the mistakes in the Umayyad Caliphate Map:
The biggest dot in it is the city of Tarragona. The city in the center is Tulaytulah (Toledo). The city in the north could be Logroño. At the north-west, there is a city I can't be sure of how is it named, although it might be Vila Real. At the south-west, what it might be Grândola. The southern-most city is Xeres (Jeréz de la Frontera). The south-eastern city could be Almería, and the eastern city is in the province of Alicante, so it could be Jávea. Qurtuba (Córdoba) isn't on the map even: it should be more to the south than Toledo, but it isn't a coastal city.
