Anyway, enough rambling. Enjoy!
With the successful siege of Malacca drove all the very last Portuguese interlopers from the peninsula, Sultan Iskandar has finally secured the entire strait for his kingdom; securing the vast richness that was provided from the illustrious city and the gateway to the archipelago.
Since then, his empire grows exponentially; not only they've secured most of Sumatra to his will and miraculously curb all their rivals from taking power, they've expanded rapidly toward the east. At the end of 1640, the sultanate has secured a giant chunk of the sprawling islands: securing not only Sumatra, but the Malay Peninsula, Southern Siam, most of Sunda and all of Java, Brunei and it's former territories, Maluku, and the Timor Islands. They've even reached to the farthest corners of the world, settling in the alien environment while exchanging with the locals.
Not only they've grown into a juggernaut of an empire through sheer size, their society has developed into something reminiscent of their Ottoman benefactors. Their military marches through the archipelago through the sheer mass of their numbers and gunpowder, their navy filled with countless galleys feared by their neighbors, science and theology flourished under the core province, and Kutaraja has become a sprawling metropolis; encompassing tens of thousands from every corner of the Ummah trying to settle on the gateway of the Malacca Strait.
With Iskandar Muda successfully build a powerful empire, what else could come next.

Hey, this is real neat! I just worked out something similar with a friend recently, only focused on Gowa-Talloq. Wonder what would the Acehnese invest in Australia for - sea cucumbers? Pearls? Minerals and dyes from the inland Aboriginal trade routes?
