Hello. I am a new nation here on NS. My nation is a alternate history one in which Spain lost to the Islamic forces. Constructive criticism only. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Almohad for info on the Almohads

Since the Fall of Spain (in fact all of Iberia), the Almohad Khalifahs tried to have their empire stand up in the world. Many events like the Huguenot Exodus (many Huguenots came to the Almohad Empire because of French persecution) happened but the Almohads still stayed strong.

In Granada's Alhambra, the current Khalifah, Muhammed XII (may change) was in his Throne Room. Although he was a Muslim, his Grand Vizier was a Calvinist. Grand Vizier Ferdinand was a Calvinist, son of Huguenot parents. He came to Muhammed and said ''Khalifah, we must open relations with the nations of the world.'' The Almohad Empire has owned France, this was their farthest extent, but the Khalifah decided to open diplomacy.

In Arabic and other languages, he wrote

''The peace of God be with you all. I, Khalifah Muhammed XII seek to open diplomacy with other nations. My empire wants to branch out, isolation has been like the anchor of a ship to us. We hope that you will consider having things like an embassy exchange with the Empire of the Almohads.

In Peace,
Muhammed XII''
