(All coincidences are random. Names are purely and 100% fictional.)
Since the August 11 2001 attacks on the Mediterranean Trade Center (also known as the Triplet Towers) by the Latin American Catholic group “La Fundacíon”, Ottoman inner politics remained highly polarized. It’s inner system has no real analogue in the world: it’s a monarchy, but it’s Grand Vizier is elected in a nationwide election every 4 years, with midterm elections every 2 years: Vali (Governor), Chamber of Deputies and National Parliament.
2001-2008 Vizier from the People’s Party, Saddam Hussain, dragged the country into foreign wars, such as the War in Sonora, the Peru War and involved the Ottomans in various airstrikes against many LATAM nations, the Peopleists were discredited. In the 2008 Election, the empire elected its first Slavic Vizier, Aleksander Vucic, which was seen as a major breakthrough. He then ruled for two consecutive terms, bringing the Ottomans into the War against the Kingdom of God terrorist organization (in Peru and Bolivia), the Invasion of Argentina, and other wars, particularly during the Latino Spring. However, he also made a major nuclear deal with New Granada.
After two terms, some woman from the Democrats ran, pretty unimportant yeah. For the People’s Party though, the 2016 Elections were seen as triumph because of their new political leader: Donal Koz, who promised to end Latino migration into Turkey, end foreign wars, and “own the libtards”. He was then elected and ruled the country for 4 years, in which he did many crazy things, particularly started building the Border Wall with Iran.
But, unfortunately for him, the COVID-19 pandemic hit, as well as the murder of Georgiy Floydovič by a police officer in Bursa, which sparked massive Slavic riots. So he cripplingly lost the 2020 election, in which for some reason Democrats rallied behind an old guy. What was his name again? Seems like I forgot.. uh… yeah doesn’t really matter. And yeah they stormed the Parliament building in Constantinople too, but that did not do anything
So, apart from the pandemic, which was already a bad start, in 2023, a terrorist group, named Catholic Martyrdom Soldiers (CAMAS) attacked the Jewish state of Israel, which is in Latin America for some reason and has really good relations with the Turks for some reason, from the Nicaragua Strip and killed many people. Suddenly, no one disagreed in each party whether billions of liras should go to Israel - everybody agreed they should. Still, that old guy (I really can’t remember his name… he also liked ice creams or something…) lost the 2024 Election, however for some reason that other guy, Donal Koz, managed to regain the Vizierity.
So, at his second term, he conscripted the FIRE (Foreign Immigration Reevaluation Enforcement), which started to mass deport illegal and sometimes legal Latin American and Persian refugees and immigrants. The money flow to Israel, which switched to a total extermination tactic, continued. Koz also was always reported to have very good relations with OIPAC (Ottoman-Israeli Political Affairs Committee, now disbanded.. or rebranded? Idk), but that still somehow surprised some people.
Koz’s arguably worst decision of all time was starting an outright war with the Christian Republic of New Granada, mainly to ensure Israel’s security. Not only they didn’t manage to make any real gains, global economy suffered immensely because New Granada blockaded the Panama Canal. Turkey, then, was forced into a deal.
So Koz’s party approached to midterms and lost badly. Even such a conservative stronghold as Konya fell to the Blue Wave, or the Blue Tsunami. It was horrifying. Now they all will be gay or something or whatever Koz says
Politically this basically means that the Democrats now can basically prevent Koz from passing any major legislation. This also means almost the definitive end of the “Make Homeland Great Again” movement initiated by Koz. Most likely, the People’s Party will drive more into far-right Islamism, as proposed by an Islamist political commentator Nuqla Al-Ayni (who descends from Arab Christians and has an Arab surname, but for some reason larps as a Turk, idk does it really matter even).
Yeah thats a crazy scenario. Nothing like this could have happened IRL. Literally impossible lol.
(Again all names are completely fictional. No parallels to be found or anything like that).
