🏛️ Historical Background:
In this alternate timeline, the island of Cyprus underwent a sweeping political transformation in the mid-2020s. Years of ethnic tension, economic inequality, and political instability culminated in the collapse of the secular Greek Cypriot government in 2025. Amid the chaos, an Islamic revolutionary movement—uniting Turkish Cypriots, disenfranchised Greek Muslims, and pan-Islamic scholars—rose to prominence.
In 2027, the movement established the Islamic Republic of Cyprus, proclaiming a new order based on faith, justice, and national unity. The republic abolished the remnants of colonial and secular rule, introducing a theocratic government under the principles of Shura (consultation), national service, and moral reform.
While the global community remains divided on its recognition, several Islamic nations acknowledge the republic as the sole legitimate authority over the island. Internally, the nation has embraced discipline, social order, and spiritual revival as foundations for a new Cypriot era. |
