I think paradox should change the localisation for "THE_CALIPHATE" to match the culture or dynasty of the country you are playing as. It seems much more immersive to see "Osmanoglu Caliphate" or "Egyptian Calphate" rather than just "The Caliphate" whenever you would see this in game. Since pretty much only a player can unite Islam, this issue primarily affects players who just spent hours in a country to reach the province requirements, and to lose all that characterization just for "The Caliphate" is disappointing and unrewarding to the player.

I think the ottomans atleast and probably shia dynasties should not change name to caliphate. Ottomans already claimed caliphate in 1516 after defeating the mamluks but continued to be known as ottomans.

Maybe it should be limited to arabic countries as they're the ones who are actual successors to the old caliphate

I think Shia could turn into the Fatimid caliphate , especially the Ismailis, and the Mamluks since the Abbasid caliph turned to the Mamluks he could return the Abbasid caliphate ,maybe Andalusia could return the Ummayed caliphate, or maybe some Arabian state like Medina could return the Rashidun caliphate somehow, Ottomans are there own caliphate so...

That would make little sense if the states you mentioned aren't being ruled by the dynasties you mentioned.

No actually this makes sense, but it is too complicated here are videos:

Basically, each ruler sponsors a caliph from a known dynasty if, ether the ruler claims the caliphate himself and makes a new dynasty of caliphs (only sunnies) ,does an election by a committee of wise people like rashidun (only sunnies) or abdicating giving a living heir to current heir of the dynasty the role of ruler and caliph (according to sunnis) or abdicating to the now living imam of the shia sect you believe in ,which is what happened at the time of the fatimids since shias believe only the living imam can rule the state and be the caliph and the religious head and the spiritual head .
