 Kingdom of Imerina

 * Government: Absolute Monarchy (Kingdom)
 * King: Rafandrandrava (B 1453, alive) (R 1469-Present)
 * Queen (de facto regent): Zafimahova (B 1434, alive) (R 1469-Present)
 * Dynasty: Ammagari
 * Economy: The economy of Imerina is based mainly on agriculture and fishing, there's also some trade going on with the Swahili and various peoples on our home island including the other two states of Betsimisaraka and Mahafaly. Contact has been established with the Ahuric Adnanite people and we have a major trade relationship, slightly strained due to the Ahuric Civil War. That's kind of, it, our economy is practically the same as many other primitive african states and such, even if this foreign relationships put us a bit higher than others.
 * Allies: N/A
 * Capital: Ambanja
 * Demographics:
 * Population: ca 523 000 total
 * Ambanja: 8 900
 * Mahajanga: 4 600
 * Toamasina: 900
 * Rural regions: ca 510 000
 * Ethnicities: 98% Malagasy (divided into 72% Merina and 25% others such as Betsimisaraka, Sakalava, Tsimihety etc.), 2% Komoro Natives (Swahili?)
 * Religion: 100% Haintenism (traditional Merina folklore)
 * Wars and Conflicts (italics: Potential War):
 * Under Attack: Groups of warriors are still trained to be prepared to thwart raid attempts from the Order of Avesta, although we have heard nothing from them in several years.
 * Hostilities With the Bara Polity: Since the discovery of Bara polity and subsequent skirmish, Imerina has made a new enemy. Unless Rakotomanjato (if he even is alive at that point he's in his late 50s I believe) accepts our demands, we shall not apologize for our part in the skirmish incident and will not have peace with them. Remaining warriors throughout Imerina are prepared of any form of invasion from the Bara polity although no Merina offensives have been declared yet. OBS. With Bara we mean the state Bara and not all of the Bara peoples since based off of a map of ethnic groups (google if you want to see it), the state doesn't control all of the Bara lands.
 * 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.
 * Deployed units: All
 * 5 200 Spearmen
 * 3 200 Bowmen
 * 300 Crossbowmen
 * 500 Fossa Warriors
 * Navy:
 * 7 transport ships
 * 11 Ahuric military ships
 * Diplomacy:
 * Bara: Ok traitor. You were the ones who attacked us so apologize and provide us with compensation or there will be no peace between us.
 * Natives of Moaly and Ngazija: We don't take no for an answer.
 * Events:
 * The "First" Queen: Zafimahova remains de facto regent despite her age, although towards the last years of this turn (1478, 1479) she has "cut the puppet strings" a bit on her son the king, who has more responsibilities and actual power now. Again most decisions made originate from Zafimahova.
 * Expansion: For long (or basically since contact with the outside world aka the Ahuric Empire was made), Imerina has seen itself as a bit of the "leader" or "supreme state" of Madagascar, having the best technology, contact with foreign powerful people and a strong military and monarchy. So expansion occurs southward and onto the remaining Komoro Islands. The Komoro Islands are directly annexed, while the Sakalava and Antankarana (since Imerina was placed in the north, where the Merina people don't live but the Antankarana, Sakalava and Tsimihety do, I assume we just kinda switch places a bit between Merina and Antankarana) lands to the south are integrated through religion, culture and such. There is an attempt to create a good friendship between the Merina and Sakalava, who live along most of the west coast, to convince them to be part of the Merina realm and remain there.
 * Weeding out the Fossa Warriors: To have better control over the elite force, a number of warriors are stripped of the title and drafted as other units. The qualifications required to become a Fossa Warrior is also better defined in military code as well as made more strict so that not every average Joe can become one. This is to make sure the Fossa Warrior division functions with absolute discipline and order.
 * The Spread of the Sorabe (continuous event): Through trade and such with both the other Malagasy peoples and the Swahili people start the spread of not only proper writing but also use of the Sorabe alphabet and script.
