This might work, as well. If Wadiyah gets split something like this, as shown by that white line, while every side would grumble about it, it might just work enough that it would prevent major violence, since everyone would be getting some oil. Eastern Wadiyah would keep giving the evil eye to NETO, but it could sell some of that oil to NETO states which have Akhadic religious law (sorry, Kyrzbekistan), but the others could just as easily buy from Western Wadiyah. It would also keep Carpathia (and therefore, the Silistrians) quiet, although they wouldn't necessarily like this solution (still, Carpathia would very much prefer it to another war). Not sure how much Carpathia's opinion counts, but Carpathia's interests in this are only that Silistria remain autonomous and do not be put under religious law and that Wadiyah remains stable enough so that oil prices wouldn't rise again. As long as these two conditions are met, Carpathia has no desire to waste resources on more involvement.
