The strongest faction on turn 44 is HRE.

Turks have 2 jihad armies which are to be disbanded on the first turn.
Turks have much less secure position than its muslim neighbors (which have similar power): Kwarezm (with mongols almost defeated, have south and eastern borders totally secure, and on the north the weak cumans) & Egypt (again south borders totally secure, western borders are virtually secure protected by the desert).
Turks are surrounded by all powerful factions: Egypt, Kwarezm, Hungary and likely Kiev.
I really don't get your logic.
That being said, if anyone wants to switch with my faction and can play in my timeframe I can swap with no problem, as I have being doing from the start having been the last one to choose.
