Talk:Emirate of the Red Sand (1983: Doomsday)

If I'm reading this correctly, the emir rose to power in 1989, and by 1990 everyone spoke Arabic. Arabic is a particularly difficult language to learn, and I don't think it's possible that in one year he insituted a 100% effective program to make sure that each and every person learned proficient Arabic in that time. That requires the hiring of teachers, having facilities to learn in, having a way to enforce that each and every person attend these lessons... It seems quite difficult to me. I'm also a little curious about how the people of a formerly democratic nation, one that had recently gained it's independence in 1975, so easily accepted totalitarian control over them, regardless of how lightly he treats them. It should be considered that, in OTL, there have been more than 20 attempted coups in Comoros since 1975. This shows that the people have a strong revolutionary spirit, not the kind that would take kindly to a man imposing his total rule over the nation. I like the idea a lot, though. If it could be worked into a more realistic shape, it would be excellent. Southern Sea 21:57, May 26, 2011 (UTC)
