 * Economy: The economy of Matagaskar 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 Malagasy 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 and the like.

 * Religion: 84% Tombovelan Zoroastrianism, 16% Haintenism (traditional Merina folklore)
 * Wars and Conflicts (italics: Potential War):
 * N/A
 * Military: Due to Matagaskar 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.

 * 350 Fossa Warriors
 * Navy:
 * 10 Adananita class ships
 * 7 Mer'ana class ships
 * 8 transport ships
 * Diplomacy:
 * Mutapa: We won't ally with acquaintances we barely know. You may keep Nipele but do not expand further north if you want to remain friendly with us.
 * Mtende, Pemba, Bangalla, Nipele and Mutapa: Regular Zoroastrian missionaries (NOT the Order of Sihanaka) are sent to their coastlines.
 * Avesta: We should co-operate more and stick together, we both follow Zoroastrianism after all and we can put previous conflicts behind us.
 * Events:
 * Unification of Matagasykara: With the last two states annexed and their territories being prepared for proper integration into the realm, Matagasykara has been unified after all these years under Emperor Andriamanelo.
 * Order of Sihanaka: Not much to say, the order continues to assist in the Zoroastrification of Matagaskar and all that. Most notably is that their founding Grand Priest Rakotomazava dies in 1577. Through election the new leader is Rakotomanjafy.
 * Increasing Population: From living standards increasing (by medieval standards) as well as expansion, such as through the conquest of the entirety of Matagaskar, our population has increased by quite the margin.
 * Swords: Swords have become a much more useful weapon to us. They start to phase out spears a bit and also the spears become more adaptable due to how warfare changes over time.
 * Discovery of the Mascarene Islands: Surveys to the east have gone on to coincide with the general naval exploration in every direction out from our island. In 1578 the explorer and ship captain Ranjeva discovers the Mascarene Islands (the archipelago that includes otl Mauritius and Réunion). Landings and exploration is made on those two islands, revealing them to be uninhabited. Ranjeva names the archipelago "Maskareina" and the two major islands become Maorisy (Mauritius), Ranjevasy (Réunion, the name is composed of its discoveror and the word "nosy" which means island) and Nyafo (the Rodrigues, if Google Translate is correct Nyafo should be something like "of fire" [ny means of and afo means fire]). There is some interest in settling the islands but so far they are only in our periphery.
