From the very beginning of its establishment, the Overseas Empire faced an important issue — where to build the Empire Capital.
The elders of Jerusalem, devout Christians, felt that it was only appropriate for the capital to be established in Jerusalem.
Copts in Egypt hoped that Losa would consider relocating the governance to Cairo, this ancient capital, to ensure that the Copts, who made up the largest population in the Empire, would not be marginalized and would continue to hold the central position in the Empire.
The new noble Crusaders under Losa leaned more toward having Losa establish the capital in Alexandria or one of the coastal cities in the Nile Delta.
The newly converted Saracen nobles had the least say; they hoped Losa would continue Saladin's choice to establish the capital in Damascus, and their idea turned out to align most with Losa's intentions.
Cairo City and Alexandria Port were too remote, unsuitable as the heart of the Empire.
