 Kingdom of Imerina

 * Government: Absolute Monarchy (Kingdom)
 * King: Rafandrandrava (B 1453, alive) (R 1469-Present)
 * Queen: Zafimahova (B 1434, D 1488) (R 1469-1488), Rakalafohy (consort) (B 1452, alive)
 * Dynasty: Ammagari (Andrianerinerina branch)
 * 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. 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 527 000 total
 * Ambanja: 9 000
 * Mahajanga: 5 000
 * Toamasina: 1 200
 * Rural regions: ca 512 000
 * Ethnicities: 98% Malagasy (divided into 69% Merina and 21% others such as Betsimisaraka, Sakalava, Tsimihety etc.), 2% Komoro Natives (Swahili?)
 * Religion: 100% Haintenism (traditional Merina folklore)
 * Wars and Conflicts (italics: Potential War):
 * Hostilities With the Bara Polity (1): Yeah, we hate eachother big time. And it's time to truly show the Bara that we don't fuck around. Multiple raids are performed on their borderlands throughout this turn. Diplomats reassure tribes whose lands we pass through that our intentions are not hostile towards them so that they do not have to worry about seeing warriors traversing close to their settlements and such. If Rakotomanjato is still alive (that ca 60 year old bastard) he'll regret ever betraying the Merina.
 * Hostilities With the Bara Polity (2): We might be getting hit by Baran raids as a response to our attacks, maybe, possibly, there's a chance, perhaps?
 * 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:
 * Avesta: We formally agree to a ceasefire.
 * Ahuric Empire: We receive a large amount of merchants from their lands. Business is well and they take particular interest in flora and fauna endemic to Madagasikara while we receive technology such as better tools and knowledge of navigation as well as their own maps. We also receive a few examples of "hand cannons", weapons we've never seen before. We thought the crossbow was a weapon of legend, but this, damn.
 * Events:
 * The "First" Queen (Final): Zafimahova doesn't do much in her last years of regency (and last years of life hah) but does invest in some projects regarding the upkeep and protection of the Maromokotro shrines, which becomes ironic with her death in 1488 after 19 years of serving. The "actual" queen is now in that position, as in Rafandrandrava's wife, however now the king has full power while the queen consort is just that, the queen consort. Zafimahova receives her shrine not long after her passing.
 * Adapting New Technology: We've held on to foreign tech for quite a while and now we start adapting it and studying it more. Crossbows especially for the purpose of warfare in the future. But the studying is also done for the purpose of creating our own versions of the different technologies when we are ready for it, so we don't have to depend on getting it from foreign sources, who are susceptible to whatever goes on in their world.
 * 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 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. (PLS NOTICE THIS OK)
 * Ndahimananjara: Ndahimananjara the young (well not really anymore) warrior had a while ago married into the royal family and from there has produced three children, which has started a new branch of the dynasty. The three children are Andriantompokoindrindra (Male, 23), Andrianmpandramanenitra (Male, 22) and Ranavalonanandriambelomasina (Female, 18). Keep an eye on the first one, he's important.
 * 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. (update on what it looks like generally?)
