If there is any lesson that can be learned from history,

如果有任何可以從歷史中吸取的教訓，

it's that empires and countries come and go just like people do.

帝國和國家就像人們一樣來來去去。

They both have their entrances and their exits that are sometimes graceful and sometimes not.

他們都有他們的開始和終結，有時候優雅，有時候不是。

The Ottoman Empire almost seems like it's from ancient history,

奧斯曼帝國看起來幾乎像是來自古代，

but Nintendo was founded at the same time the empire was

The Ottoman Empire had already been in a very long decline

儘管在地圖上看起來很大很可怕(鄂圖曼帝國)，但它比澳大利亞小得多。

這使得新鄂圖曼帝國成為世界上人口第三大的國家。

Obviously staying behind the usual suspects; India and China.

The capital of the Ottoman Empire for hundreds of years was Constantinople, or Istanbul

and that still all this time later would be the largest and most important

而這個時間點以後都將是最大也是最重要的

Most of the top ten largest cities in the empire today would

all be located in the Middle East except for two:

全部位於中東地區，除了兩個：

Algiers in North Africa and Bucharest deeper in Europe.

All of these cities and lands would mean that the Ottoman Empire today,

Followed up by large numbers of Kurds, Romanians, and

隨之而來的是大量的庫爾德人，羅馬尼亞人，巴基斯坦人和希臘人。

Greeks. Based on those numbers, the Arabic and Turkish languages

3% while other beliefs and religions would make up the final

而其他信仰和宗教將加起來佔9％。

鄂圖曼在經濟肯定會成為附近的GDP最高的國家

$3,675 trillion US Dollars. This would put the empire roughly on a par with the German economy and make it the 5th largest economy

GDP達到3,675萬億美元。這將使該帝國與德國經濟大致相當，並使其成為世界第五大經濟體

worldwide. The economic comparison with Germany is interesting though, because while the numbers appear similar,

與德國的經濟比較很有趣，因為雖然數字看起來相似，

but still manages a slightly larger sized economy.

但仍然擁有著規模稍大的經濟體。

This means that on average, a citizen from the Neo-Ottoman empire

would be significantly poorer than a citizen from modern Germany.

The poorest areas of the modern Ottoman state would be

現代奧斯曼帝國最貧窮的地區將是

Syria, Moldova, and Ukraine, while the wealthiest areas
