Are they confirmed as playable yet?
I think it would be very interesting to see how decadence would be managed with a republic.

I would assume that decadence would not exist as a mechanic, and that the Republican character system would work instead. In that sense Christian and Muslim Republics would be very similar in gamestyle terms with the exception of being friendly with different people. Just a guess though.
Well, we know that, with the proper DLC, Muslims are playable. We know that, with the proper DLC, Republics are playable. Since we have not heard otherwise, there's no reason to assume that Muslim Republics would be unplayable, particularly since religion is a character trait. What happens if you're playing a patrician, not in power, and the Doge converts, for whatever reason?
It would be rather silly that Islamic republics were unplayable when the First Caliphate was a republic itself.
Not in the sense of the game. If anything, it would be an elective monarchy, in the sense of the game.
The Rashidun Caliphate was Open Elective, but past that it was more like the Agnatic Open we see all Muslim nations running ingame. I'd be more tempted to call the First Caliphate a Theocracy however, as the "investiture" element of it is in gameplay terms no different from Open Elective for now.
Oh well I think that too, the decadence system plus the republic mechanic would be too hard too manage... Nice topic by the way
