Fascinating potential new state

[Breneir Tzaracomprada]

"His hoped-for Muslim state in Tirana, Albania's capital, will be a Vatican-style sovereign enclave controlling territory about the size of five New York City blocks..."

The Albanian PM has announced plans to create a new microstate for the Sufi mystic order of the Bektashis. This could be an interesting question for Talossan foreign policy re: recognition?

Interesting. Although the real equivalent would not be the Vatican City State but the Knights of Malta.

The Bektashi order, like the Naqshbandi order in Türkiye and Iraq, have a colorful history which involves acting at times like a secret society rather than a spiritual order.

Oh wow, so their headquarters are actually in the Detroit? Now, that would be an interesting place for a microstate.
