Order

The imar branch's doctrine node (tier 4); its prerequisite is Endowment.

The doctrine choice is exclusive

While one doctrine node is known or queued, another branch's doctrine cannot enter a queue. If you send nizam to research, you can never open the harp and muhafaza branches' doctrine nodes for the rest of that match — the choice is one-time (Research and the tech tree).

You see a rival's doctrine: even though your own tree is fully visible, of a rival's you see only the doctrine they have finished — in the badge next to their name on the score strip. The rest of their research stays hidden.

What it unlocks

It unlocks Divan — a unique building, only one of which can be built per empire, that shortens revolt duration and adds score (Divan).

What it keeps unlocking

Knowing nizam is also the prerequisite for researching the mastery node Law — you reach the imar branch's mastery only by choosing this doctrine.
