Kinda, like the Outward image of the kingdom is the "wish granted kingdom" basically a stewardship faction with secondary focus on diplomacy, merchants, hosts. That use the money to found the learning and occult institutions. Verry much mitological iteration of the arabic golden age.
Aladin is then the prince of the wishgranted kingdom. While he own the title "the thief prince" is either used by other criminal groups or in a derogatory fashion and is not something a normal person know about. Sure they know Alarin was a stree rat but they did not know how good of a street rat he was.
So much like with Lemuria and evil aladin some tries to start some sneaky stuff on his territory until suddenly they get jumped by thieves in the night. Because Ababwa is a Intrigued diplomacy faction with a lot of money.
