Ottoman Manufacturing question

[harlikwin667]

So I'm playing as the ottomans. And I can't seem to be able to build factories in the mid-east. Baisically in 2 regions, one's that I've owned since the start of the GC in the baghdad area. The other areas are areas captured from egypt in that lil war we had. I can build factories no problem in turkey and balkans tho. just not the mid east? Is there something I'm missing here?

They are classified as "colonies" in the start. You need to grant them statehood before you can build factories.

You can only build factories in "states", i.e. rogions that has been granted statehood.
