I was thinking, considering the enormous tumult it must be going through right now with the Sultan dead and the "civilian coup" in Istanbul, perhaps playing as the remnant Ottoman Empire and elaborating on its complete and total death spiral. I see that most nations which were formerly part of the Ottoman Empire have declared independence or are close to it, so essentially I would deal with stuff in Turkey, until such a point in the future where it could recover anything or fight back against Armenian expansion.
Though it is likely thoroughly in the second category.
Also, what parts of my stuff have been declared noncanonical? I saw the UND on the wiki was labeled as such, and since most of what I was doing was channeled through that... Not that it matters, just out of curiosity.
