Aksum

 * Government: Theocracy
 * Negus:
 * Meseret (887-911)
 * Kahsu (911-present)
 * Economy: Through maritime trade, Aksum remains in a pivotal position along the Red and Arabian Sea's. Ivory and salt remain primary exports, while gold and iron are sold expensively and used for coinage. With colonial expansion along the Horn of Africa being made, maritime trade along the coast is nearly doubled as more ports are set up and profit is made.
 * Capital: Axum
 * Demographics:
 * Population: 5,900,000 (81% Ethiopian/Axumites, 9% Egyptian, 5% Arabian, 5% Mixed Afro-Asiatic)
 * Religion: 75% Christianity, 20% Judaism, 5% Zoroastrian
 * Diplomacy:
 * Adnania: Trade pact?
 * Grane: The initial offers sent were lost with the reigning ruler at the time, who died before making his decision, so the documents and ideas were lost before they were able to be responded to. Negus Kahsu decidedly accepts all offers proposed by Grane, although he is skeptical about the idea of forging a defensive pact with Grane based off of their power-hungry neighbor the Azarkhate. He decides to decline the offer, although states that "once the Azarkhate either declines in power or is abolished, then certainly the offer will be re-considered".
 * Events:
 * Colonies of the Horn: Expansion southward is made as more Swahili tribes are incorperated into the general Aksumian identity. Urbanization occurs as a result.
 * Salala: With the vassalization of Salala, the city becomes the first autonomous trade hub for the Aksumites in the Middle East. With this, inland trade with the Adnanites, Yemen, and the remaining Muscat-Omani city states allows for the exchange of philosophy, culture, and profitable goods.
