I have been in the service of Sultan for many, many years. It is my task to write down all that is decided. My father did this before me, and his father before him. We have faithfully recorded and seen much. Sultan is our lord and master, as Buddallah is to him. And all this, is as it should be, we are his children, Sultan loves us all, we would conquer the Galaxy so that all would know his wise rule, even if Sultan did not ask this, we would do it. His enemies will be stuck down, night and darkness will take them, space will be stained red... All this will come to pass, for Buddallah has decreed it... So it is written, so it shall be.
It has been Six Hundred and Thirty Four Years, Three Months, Two Weeks, and Six days since the Prophet led us away from the old Empire, and we prosper under the Ottoman Dynasty. Each named for one of the Islamic States of Old Earth. We have already been through the Almohad and Rum Dynasties, but I have stated this earlier.
Great Sultan, Burali Ottoman, Burali the Great, Burali the Wrathful, Burali the Conqueror, His Highness, of the Ottoman Dynasty, is of the Zenshi'a sect, thus our military and borders are greatly expanded during his wise rule. The Buddislamics may not be the most Technologicaly advanced or trained nation, but we are the most loyal, the most numerous, the most fervent, the most willing to die for our country.

The Mutaween in the Caliphate are tasked with enforcing Sharia as defined by the government, specifically by the Committee for the Propagation of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice (CPVPV). They have the power to arrest unrelated males and females caught socializing, any one engaged in homosexual behavior or prostitution; to enforce Islamic dress-codes, and store closures during the prayer time. They enforce Muslim dietary laws, prohibiting the consumption or sale of alcoholic beverages and pork, and seize banned consumer products and media regarded as un-Budd-Islamic.
