It's true! At last...
By the way if anyone who speaks more Farsi than me (i.e. any!) can correct my translations in the ATL I would be most grateful (e.g. is Gurkani Alam really Farsi for Mughal World?)...
I think the term is true, because the Mughals styled themselves as "Gurkani" which I very well doubt you have yet known about this.....
@ AE : Seconded here, AE
!!
I think overall this is a
TL !! I knew my pain of waiting for this TL would be worth it.
Unfortunately, there are few things that has risen my evil urge for nitpicking up, therefore.....
excuse me.....
I would raise some comments in regards of three things which seems quite odd for me :
1) The first is about the Federation of "Java". If only this federation only encompasses Southern Kalimantan (and maybe also the Moluccas, but I think it'll be even less likely) other than Java than perhaps it would be no problem to use that name. But this Federation of "Java" also include the Bugisians Sultanate of Makassar which I seriously doubt they would gonna be so Javanized up to the point that they would also participate to protect "the Javanese way of life". The Bugisians possess a way to strong sense of national identity for that, even though that it seems ITTL that Mataram is the "Prussia" of this union. On the top of all things, you also have yet to give us any sign of any conquest by Mataram on the whole territories that constitute the Federation.
I think a more compromisial name would be more suitable for this union.
This federation was inspired by and modeled on Dakshina Nad after all....
2) The second is about the flag of this Federation. It's nice and I like it
. But your claim that the federation's flag is
based on the traditional flag of Mataram Sultanate is even more interesting to me.
3) And the last but I don't know if this is the least, is about the Russian Anatolia
eek:
). I personally think that this part isn't well enough fleshed out....
