[/b][/font] [font='Courier New', Courier, monospace][/b]The town of New al-Dhaid was originally settled by 150 families of the original Islamic exodus from Sol. It has a population of 265,000. The current vali of the province is Aisha Hasan al-Saqqaf. (( @Parti?an )). She is the first female vali and is largely adored by the Dhaidi citizens as a model citizen. [/b][/font] [font='Courier New', Courier, monospace][/b]The town remained peaceful during the time of the Maladh Republic, and was ignored during the Caliphate revolution because of its tactical unimportance - the town is isolated within the al-Khaimah desert and so offered no advantage to either fighting force. [/b][/font] [font='Courier New', Courier, monospace][/b]The township is favored by its inhabitants for its scenic views, a series of hydroponics turned the barren desert into arable land raised above the shifting sands. Smaller surrounding settlements are reached via a sand-skiff, which provide the only secure access to the town from a secure checkpoint. This checkpoint searches all visitors on entry and exit for haram substances and weaponry, as to maintain peace in the idyllic town. [/b][/font] [font='Courier New', Courier, monospace][/b]Not much of historic note has taken place in the town, other than the birth of a few viziers and lawyers. Beyond usage as a quiet retreat for the Emirati, the town is mostly used as a layover point for sandskiff cruises of the Maladhi deserts. [/b][/font] [font='Courier New', Courier, monospace][/b]The town was recently opened to outsiders of Maladh to increase stagnating trade and to promote peaceful relations between the ummah and the kuffar. The Caliph himself praised the decision, as he wished to display the virtues of the Caliphate to outsiders. [/b][/font] [font='Courier New', Courier, monospace][/b]The Laws of the Land [/b][/font] [font='Courier New', Courier, monospace][/b]The laws of New al-Dhaid, as with the laws of all other vassals of the Caliphate, are Sharia. The laws of the land are adhered to strictly by the citizens, rendering the place near-utopian. The Mutaween act as the religious police, encouraging virtue and preventing vice within New al-Dhaid. The area is concealed carry only, checkpoints and strict Mutaween enforcement stop people from bringing in any larger weapons. [/b][/font] [font='Courier New', Courier, monospace][/b]All foreigners who beam down arrive at the checkpoint, which screens and filters those who could possibly present a danger to the city, both physically and spiritually. The city can only be reached by the checkpoint's skiff, which can only be boarded when foreigners have been properly registered, and the women have been properly covered. Free hijabs are provided at the entry doors. [/b][/font] [font='Courier New', Courier, monospace][/b]Off the teleporter foreigners are not privileged to any forms of privacy or security. The Mutaween is not obliged to defend them in an attack, nor are they obliged to come to their aid if a crime has been committed against them. Until a foreigner becomes either a Muslim or a Dhimmi, they are almost entirely alienated from the law's protection. [/b][/font] [font='Courier New', Courier, monospace][/b]Foreigners may apply to become Dhimmi if they are non-Muslim, which will allow them to purchase a skiff, and consume haram substances in their own privacy, or areas sanctioned for Dhimmi, such as nightclubs. They cannot run for a position of vali, only Muslims may participate in the administration. Protection of the law is guaranteed only to Muslims and Dhimmi. [/b][/font] [font='Courier New', Courier, monospace][/b]The Mutaween can only be comprised of Muslims, though vigilantism from Dhimmi against non-Muslims is not illegal, and is often encouraged if it aids the Mutaween. [/b][/font] [font='Courier New', Courier, monospace][/b]Muslims that wish to obtain government positions must contact the city's appointed vali, or marry into nobility. [/b][/font] [font='Courier New', Courier, monospace][/b]Being a foreigner does not give exemption to the law. [/b][/font] [font='Courier New', Courier, monospace][/b]Consuming and distribution of haram substances is punishable by death, but Dhimmi may consume such substances in special areas denoted for them.
