Mogador, The Sultan's Merchants

Our Ruler Title has commissioned a wholly new port at Mogador, planned from nothing on an empty stretch of coast, and proposes to grant a select handful of Jewish merchant houses an effective monopoly over its Atlantic trade in exchange for their loyalty and their capital. Every merchant left outside that arrangement has already made known exactly how they feel about it.

historical_info = d009_sephardi_morocco.9.historical_info Sultan Mohammed III founded Mogador in the 1760s as a deliberately planned port, and granted a select group of Jewish merchant families, remembered as the Tujjar as-Sultān (the Sultan's Merchants), privileged status and tax exemptions to manage its Atlantic and European trade. The arrangement made Mogador one of the most prosperous Jewish mercantile communities in Morocco's modern history.
