Mehmet X

Mehmet the 10th is the current reigning Sultan of Mehmet. He has reigned for around 19 years and has generally brought numerous socially and economically progressive reforms to the Kingdom. His economic policy is known to be Austrian and laissez faire. Under his reign the economy has massively grown, the country has opened up to outsiders, and the military has grown significantly. Mehmet the 10th has a significant fortune - estimated to be around the vicinity of 3000 tons of gold.

He was born to the 5th Concubine of His Esteemed Sultan around 1963. As is custom in Mehmet, he rarely saw his father and was mostly raised by his mother and Imperial Courtiers. His hobbies as a child were hunting, reading, violin, and playing go. In the 80s he left to Alva to study Economics at the Alvastadt Imperial University. When he came back he posistioned himself for the impending power struggle. He secured many allies in the military and neighboring kingdoms. He ousted his Elder Princes in a series of Palace coups and took power in 2003. After taking power he relaxed Mehmet's strict Islamic law and began opening up Mehmet to foreign investment. With the fracking boom of 2005 the economy was propelled, followed by several massive real estate bubbles. The economy has been described as "red-hot" and "unstable" during his tenture.

The Sultan is known - in contrast to his colleague in Hydar - to be an extreme playboy with a vast harem, hundreds of sports cars, mansions, condos, and fine jewels. He lives a lavish lifestyle with 20 female attendants with him at all times and 10 male ones. He is thought to mostly delegate out governing to other Princes and advisors of the Kingdom. The Sultan has seldom spoken in public and generally keeps away from public attention. Several bloggers have disappeared after spreading rumors about the Sultan. Despite his generally progressive agenda he has been unwilling to cede any power and rules absolutely. He is thought to visit Alva, Nanwen, and South Kesh quite often.
