Maghrib in Through Darkest Europe
The Sultanate of the Maghrib was one of the more enlightened and progressive nations in the world. A constitutional monarchy, the Maghrib had a Sultan as its head of state and a Wazir as its head of government. Key cities included Tunis[2] and Algiers.[3]
The Maghrib maintained a healthy presence in the Mediterranean Sea, controlling both Sicily and Malta.[4] Consequently, the Sultan's government was very interested in the affairs of the Grand Duchy of Italy, who maintained claims to Sicily, even though it had been Maghribi for centuries.[5]
