"What was it like to live with the Ottoman Empire, plus the other countries he controlled?"

Loud. Beside Cyprus and Egypt, the countries I lived with were all rowdy. Not that I, along with the two mentioned, didn't get into trouble, it was just we weren't in the same lane with the others with how we felt. I believe it was because we've experienced him for longer, we knew more about him on a sort of personal level. On the topic of Ottoman Empire himself, although I hated him with a burning passion, I have to admit that I couldn't have chosen a better empire to take me over. He was powerful and had a culture similar to my own. I abhorred being controlled, but at least I was in strong hands.
