 Kingdom of Imerina

 * Government: Absolute Monarchy (Kingdom)
 * King: Andrianamponga (B 1427, alive) (R 1447 - 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 basic, small forms of trade have started. That's kind of, it, our economy is practically the same as many other primitive african states and such.

 * Navy:
 * 6 transport ships
 * Diplomacy:
 * Ahuric Empire: We make contact for the first time, more details in the event.
 * Njoany Natives: Andrianamponga and the Njoany chieftain(s)? meet on the island itself and officially agree to the integration. The Merina also actually write this event and agreement down because, we actually know how to read and write, kind of.
 * Events:
 * Contact with the Adananita: Circa 1448, the northernmost villages spotted strange vessels approaching the coastline of Madagasikara. Stranger people had discovered us and our land. From the first contact we tried to understand eachother to the best of our ability. The Merina manage to understand that they are from the Ahuric Empire (Malagasy: something like Fanjakan'Ahurubo). The most basic contact and such between the Merina and the Adananita (the Adnanites, of which the Ahurics are) have been established. Andrianamponga is skeptical of these new people, we don't know much about them and they wear strange clothes covering most of their body and they travel in large and majestic vessels. They also carry different weapons that we've never seen before. On the other hand, the little brother of Andrianamponga (and currently heir while the king is childless), Andrianamboniravina thinks that this encounter can shape Imerina's future in an amazing way. This disagreement between the brothers lead to a further rift being drawn between them due to Nirinaharifidy, their mother, passing in 1454.
 * Njoany: The island, whilst practically being independent, is under Imerina now for the purposes of being a trading post and to be "run" and protected by an established kingdom.
 * The Start of 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.
 * Warrior Culture: This develops further and (while it doesn't happen much because of their small size and population) Njoany is included in training their young men to be ready as warriors for all of Imerina. Other things that happen is in regard to the development of weapons and their usage. Spears and shields start to be developed on to be more effective and deadly than before and Seme Knives start to see use in combat as a good quick, smaller and deadly sidearm.
 * Mapping out our Realm: The new Sarintany Manontolo (basically means map of everything) is finished in early 1451, just in time for the integration of Njoany which occurred a few months before.
 * Tsilavohery and  Rakotomanjato (1): Remaining oral history as well as a few historical records tell of these two people, who are both philosophers, writers and "historians" (as much as you can have one in 15th century Madagascar) and in the service of Andrianamponga by 1453. From the "evidence" that exists in the future the two have known eachother for a very long time, possibly childhood. Point is they are hardworking Haintenist experts in the royal court of the king.
