Our Territories Are Ours!

The weaklings of the other nation have demonstrated some uncharacteristic wisdom in their decision to return Syria to us without necessitating violence. We are already working hard to integrate the territory back into our imperial decision, and have arrived at a crossroads. Strangly enough, we are remembered in the Levant largely as imperialists and foreigners who unfairly lorded over territories we had no right to be in. This is, of course, pure hogwash - but the misguided sentiment still persists to this date. We might find more long-term gain in propping up an autonomous imperial subject that we can integrate at a later date if the situation calls for it. On the other hand, we can also just annex the territory right back into our Sultanate - it is our divine right, after all.
