However, due to the rise of machine-made products, it aggrivated artisans whose main stream of income was thier work, and thus, protests began and strikes soon followed. Emir Hakim took quick action by giving government support to artists whose line of work have been replaced by machinery.

Emira ~~Soraya’s~~ reign caused controversy, as she decided to let the Grand Vizier hold most of the authority on the Emirate while she focused on her vanity. Many people feared that there might be a sudden switch of governments, even when the unique semi-constitutional system the emirate had for centuries had proved to work perfectly. However, something Soraya did to benefit Sayyed was endorsing the involvement of the Mirhamian military in Sayyed from 1916 onwards. The Great War struck fear into the Sayqidi, who never had the need to militarize heavily, so they sought outside help. Mirhaime ended up being a major trading partner with Sayyed in its modern day, and contains the largest Sayqidi diaspora on Urth.

Emira Soraya abdicated in 1926, at the age of 32, with the reason of believing her sister was more capable, and has said to the press that she never wanted to be Emira, and would have abdicated earlier, but felt obligated to stay on the throne. In an interview a year after her abdication, Soraya said:<blockquote>“It was only ten years later did I gather the strength to write a letter of abdication. I remember so many nights when I would sit down at my desk, paper in front of me and pen in my hand. I just couldn’t get myself to write an abdication letter. Last year, when I resigned from my position, I felt as if a large weight had been carried off my back; I was finally free.”</blockquote>When Kamaria took the throne, she immediately took back power from the Grand Vizier, who, for the past eleven years had been holding most responsibilities an Emir would. Though she didn’t live long, she spent most of her reign investing in transportation, modernization, and working on regaining the power the Crown lost. She was succeeded by her son, Emir Farzad in 1946, who continued the work his mother began. The beginning of his reign marked the beginning of the modern age in Sayyed. He was the first Emir to not practice polygamy and in fact outlawed it in 1954.
