Modernization Efforts of Jakania

Reign of Sultan Ameer I "The Beloved"


Social Reforms
Sultan Ameer I introduced social reforms aimed at promoting gender equality, free health care and an increase in social benefits. However, these reforms made no progress under his reign as the military delayed the implementation of these reforms.
Economic Reforms
During the early years of Sultan Ameer's reign, Jakania's economy grew to a significant amount thanks to the Caliphate's financial aid and policy of heavy borrowing from foreign banks. For the majority of Ameer's reign the government spent vast sums of borrowed money on improving the country's infrastructure and food production. However, in the closing years of Ameer's reign, the policy of heavy borrowing from foreign banks took a toll in the economy causing it to go downhill rapidly. After his death, the country was left with massive amounts of debts, but the country was able to restore its agriculture to its former glory and rebuild their infrastructure.
Administrative Reforms
Sultan Ameer I introduced democracy to the country but it was a failure as powerful noble houses prevented elected officials from taking their office. Noble houses instead appointed people into positions who had close ties to their houses. As a result corruption was widespread during Ameer's reign.
