 * Consort (and head of the Fossa Warriors): King Razakatsitakatrandriana (B 1527 - Age 32, alive) (C 1547 - Present)

 * Economy: The economy of Imerina is based mainly on agriculture and fishing, there's also trade going on with the Swahili and various peoples on our home island including the other Malagasy states of Betsimisaraka (even though relations are strained at this point), Mahafaly and Bara. The Merina economy stands as one of the strongest and most developed in all of Sub-Saharan Africa, mostly due to the effect of foreign contact. Imerina has started to influence other states through trade.
 * Allies: N/A
 * Capital: Mahajanga
 * Demographics (including rebelling areas):
 * Population: ca 550 000 total

 * Religion: 68% Tombovelan Zoroastrianism, 32% Haintenism (traditional Merina folklore)
 * Wars and Conflicts (italics: Potential War):
 * N/A
 * Military: Due to Imerina being a rural realm, a large amount of units can be raised for warfare, but usually about 1% of the population is the most trained and prepared soldiers that can be drafted. Parentheses means the deployed units in cases where not all units are deployed for war.
 * Deployed units: None

 * 200 Swordsmen
 * 600 Bowmen
 * 1 650 Crossbowmen
 * 700 Light Cavalry
 * 200 Fossa Warriors
 * Navy:
 * 10 Adananita class ships
 * 7 Mer'ana class ships
 * 8 transport ships
 * Diplomacy:
 * Everyone on Matagasykara: Zoroastrian missionary work.
 * Mutapa: Further contact and relation stuff. Also Zoroastrian missionaries.
 * Events:
 * After a Queen, Another (two): Rafohy continues her reign, mainly sorting out the "feudal" system and working out the kinks of it, as well as giving birth to a daughter in 1556. Nothing else really that special aside from the other events.
 * Merina Armor Project: Efforts are put into the manufacturing of Merina armor. Obviously armor has been used for a while because all that interaction with the Ahurics and they have armor and all that, but now knowledgable Adnanites and Merina are brought together to get a grip on this so that our troops are better protected. It's mostly light armor for cavalry and infantry, this going together with the evolution of using spears to a more modern polearm, very similar to that of whatever was used by the Ahurics. Swords also start to be adopted.
 * The Return of the Fossa Warriors to Relevancy: After the assassination of Andriamasindohafandrana, the Fossa Warriors were relegated and had many rights revoked. Now that Imerina has practically fully recovered from the civil war and is becoming more and more powerful, the elites could be very useful, not to mention that them being irrelevant for so long has kind of pissed them off and also devalued the legacy of Ndahimananjara quite a bit so yeah. The Fossa Warriors are given new rights and can function as the elite soldiers of Imerina once more. They still function as royal guards and such but are very strictly trained and are and can only be part of the monarch's army, not any of the vassal lords to prevent a disloyal vassal from using them against others and/or the current monarch. The Fossa Warriors are back to having quite a bit of power but now in a different system with a council as well as a semi-feudal society they shouldn't pose too much of a threat should they mostly be kept in check.
 * Sorabe to Mutapa: The art of writing as well as the Malagasy Sorabe alphabet and some other stuff like agricultural techniques and various resources are introduced to Mutapa. Also some more Zoroastrian missionaries interacting with the traders of the realm.
 * Southern Expansion: Expansion like before, through conversion and settling, but also the direct claiming of land by Fossa Warriors, kinda like the OTL cossacks (please at least give me a border with Bara).
 * What are those italics?: They mean that that successor is not the child of the monarch. For Manelobe and Ravoamasina, they are Rafohy's siblings and the others are descendant from Rangita's brother Andriamihaja.
 * RIP: King dowager Ratsifandrihamanana passes at age 62.
