Ahuric Empire

 * Government and Policy:
 * Monarch: King Ja'far Ahurid
 * Administrative Situation: War has come to our nation. We are honourbound to join in. This means our treasuries are to be opened in case it is needed. However, they don't have ships in the Gulf of Gerrha, we are probably going to have trade as usual. The Iroworks are put into action, while our military prototypes are being produced for further tests at an extended rate. The administration is in full war mode, with generals and military leaders being invited to advisor meetings and the King relocating to Shep for faster communication. News is spread of the war (and of all the horrendous things the Daevites do, you know, propoganda as usual). People are spurred on to produce, for the nation, for the religion, for the people.
 * Population: 11,129,905
 * Policy and National Affairs:
 * War with the Empire: It was a surprising attack to say the least, and the collapse of our allies was most concerning. As per the rules and regulations of the League, it is our duty to retaliate and defend our allies. Even though we are surprised by the developments, we are not hesitant. Our Sipah's are transported to Elam as soon as a war breaks out in the East. They are not sent our immideatly (This is the only way I can explain away the Persian Nations being removed) as they must be given permission to declare war. This permission is passed after a League of the Desert meeting behind closed doors where the nations, Yemen, Hejaz, Qarsoon and us re-affirm our belief in the treaty. As such, war begins. With most Daevites at war with Delhi, we are to quickly attack and take land, and then dig in. The Ironworks are to produce much more equipment than usual, with more people employed under their workshops. The canons are sold to our allies, used up in forts, placed in cities. The new prototyped "Blitz Canons" are to be used by a few units in the field as a test, and to support this, they are being produced by the Ironworks rather than the state. This makes it immune to the numerous delays of the administrative machine and releasing the state from the shackles of any accidents. Generals are given the maps compiled for an attack on the Qarshids, giving the general layout of the region ahead of them. The many forts we built across the border come to life and are now put in use. They were built to combat the Qarshids many decades ago, updated recently after the civil war, with a very few rebuilt according to the jagged anti-canonshot mentality, built with jagged walls and round towers. Knowing that the Daevites use many horses, trenches are used for some of these forts, trenches with stakes.
 * Wartime Economy: The economy has not seen a foreign war in a very long time. We have filled up our treasuries for a long time now, as a rainy day fund. It had become common place ever since the Grane war against the Hassanids. Luckily, our opponent doesn't or shouldn't have a navy. We can procede with war for a long time if we are to be left in charge of the sea, where our navy shall keep our trade healthy and our supply strong. As such we are not worried on the issue of trade. However, locally, many young men are enlisted and given jobs in the Ironworks, producing cannons and weapons en-masse. A new set of companies, based around fletchers, are set up as well. Poisoned arrows, built and stored thanks to the congo rubber trees and various poisonous plants, are entered into service with our ranged cavalry. While our resources are perhaps stretched thin, we purchase from elsewhere, Iron, Wood, Food, all being supplied. The dip in our economic strength is being covered by the treasury, which have been opened for the first time since the civil war for consumption. The people are stirred up by propoganda to donate their gear and resources, that spare grain they may have grown, the goat they are willing to spare from their herds. Whatever may have been domestic opposition to such a move has been eradicated as it seems even Arzhamites believe fighting based on honour is more important to distant religious affliations. We are defending an Arzhamite ally against an agressor, for all they are concerned.
 * The Land of the 10 Forts: For a long time, ever since the Elamite region was recaptured to be exact, there has been some threat from the North. The Qarshid threat warranted building many forts along the border. Knowing we couldn't fight in the offensive, due to terrain concerns, we sat for the defensive war. As such we had built many forts along the border, manned with cannons, with men, with cavalry. The system of fortifications was ingenious, though untested. There were 10 forts in every system. One fort, generally the one further from the front line, was designated the command fort. It stationed the most men, and was the best equipped. The 9 remaining forts were dotted towards the border in a parabolic shape from the command fort. Each fort was aided by 3 watch towers, each with a single cannon, a handful of archers and a small number of cavalry. The expectation is for news to go down the system, from watch towers, to forts, to the command fort, preparing to fight back against the enemy. This system had a quicker means of communication too, smoke signals. A fire burnt atop the watchtower signalling to the fort that an invasion had occured. The cavalry would then have left the tower to signal to the fort. This would be an insurance that the fire was set by allied troops rather than enemy troops. Across the region, many of these complex fortifications lay around, prepared for enemy invasions. Recently, few of the command forts had been upgraded with jagged walls and round towers, being more cannons resistant.
 * The Diplomatic Frontlines: We might be fighting a war with bows and swords, but on the same front, diplomacy takes place. Our league members will be joining the war as per their league commitments. The armies of Qarsoon, Hejaz and Yemen are expected to quickly enter the war, aiding our front, forming their own, or aiding Delhi, as they wish. This will bolster our numbers with a lot more troops, a lot more ships and a lot more diplomatic power. We contact the Delhi court, informing them of our mutual war against the Daevites and offering weapons to beat back the enemy. The Daevites are a considerable threat to both of us and with much lobbying we expect to get the Delhi on favourable terms. The Panjab Amirate is lobbied to join our war. They are not much a hurdle for the Daevites that just cleared out many larger nations. If they hope to remain independent for any time, they should join our war. Gifts are exchanged, diplomats are exchanged, we intend to get them on our side as soon as possible.

 * Military Operations and Foreign Affairs:
 * New Troops and Tactics:
 * Blitz Cannons: These are far easier to use than fire lances. There are no flames to start. First a hammer is pulled. With the press of a trigger, it descends quickly, hitting some material, causing sparks which ignite the gunpowder which explodes, sending out a bullet. After close to a century of work, it seems to have become ready for testing. While this might happen at a test range in regular armies, due to the war, it has become necessary to rush them into service, even when prototyped.
 * Adnanification:
 * Swahili: We continue our efforts, albeit much less
 * Imerina: We continue investing in their adnanification, but it seems like they are setting up their own Adnanification.
 * The Eastern Lands: We have people attempting their adnanification, but we don't expect much success.
 * Zanzibar: Our provocations continue. With the growth of paper products, a rudimentary news spreading technique has allowed for rumours of Zoroastrian's being hurt to be spread.
 * The War of the East: 
 * Stage 1, The attack of the 3 Sipahs: Initially, with 4 Sipahs in Elam, 3 of them spread to Pangjur, with the 4th Sipah acting as a rear guard. The 1st, 2nd and 3rd are to spread out slightly, surrounding Pangjur in a pincer movement and blazing the cannons into the relatively small city, hopefully quickly taking the city. With 60,000 men upon them, expectations are high. Then, with Pangjur captured, the Sipahs are to besiege Qusdar, forming a defensive line from the East of Persepolis in Daevite territory, to Qusdar to the Panjab. Using long trenches, the spearmen and lots of arrows, we intend to keep the Daevite hordes away from us. If in any area of the coast, a battle is to occur, the navy shall be on hand to pepper the enemy with projectiles
 * Stage 2, A double fronted war: Aqeel's Sipah are to land in Delhi and aid them if allowed. We don't have much hope in this occuring, no one likes troops in their land. As such they are to land in the Daevite territory and go North. They are a smaller force and much more trained. They typically fight without supply, living off the land, as evident from the Civil War. As such, they are sent to the North to harrass Zarang. If possible, they will capture Zarang, then 4 Sipahs are to extend their line to Zarang.
 * Stage 3, In case of Success: In case we succeed, and there seems to be no major response, the city of Yazd is to be besieged, with the line of Sipah's rising. Yazd used to be a Zoroastrian city of importance, and as such we shall reclaim it for the cause. This would mean that Yazd, Qusadar, Zarang and Pangjur are sieged in this war, hopefully captured.
 * Plan in case of failure: If the enemy responds and delivers a crushing defeat, we are to retreat all Sipahs to the border, where our forts are built in large numbers. There they will fight on the defensive, on favourable terms. While the enemy is distracted and attracted to our troops, Aqeel's Sipah is to land behind the enemy and ambush them, delivering large losses. This should allow our Sipah's freedom once more to attack into their territory.
 * Economy:
 * War Economy: The treasuries have opened, men are being sent to work in blacksmiths, producing weapons. We have large stores of weaponry, but will need more. Cannons are built daily in large blacksmith "towns" as they are called. The large and small cannons are all being built with different purposes. Men are joining the military training program in case of war. Magi are preaching the importance of defenfing the nation against this threat, compelling people to deliver their donations. Trade fleets are delivering the raw resources needed for war, the economy has transformed within a few years to one with a focus on the military. Many are enlisted to build towers along the frontline, carrying supplies in carriages.
 * New Research:
 * Easier Fire Lances: They are being developed by the Sahra Ironworks
 * Cannons: Akbar's Ironworks are focusing on maneuverability
 * Diplomacy:
 * League of the Desert (Yemen, Qarsoon, Hejaz): We have declared war on the Daevites as an alliance for they have attacked our allies. As per our own agreement, we will all act and attack. I request of you, will you aid me in this war? (They're agreement-bound to join)
 * Swahili, the Eastern Nations: We try (again), more Zoroastrian, more Adnanite.
 * Zanzibari Zoroastrians: We give them texts and scripture from the Empire, fund them, and secretly, through channels, give them our support
 * The Resistance in Daevite Persia: Having just captured many territories, the people are bound to be unhappy. As such we supply them. Our advancing armies should convince many locals to join us in war under our banner
 * Daevite Empire: The crime you have been guilty of is attacking our allies, allies that are vital to us as an alliance. This is no attack to be glossed over, and no matter the optics, we shall resist. We are honourbound to defend our allies. Have the Daevites no sense of honour (you siberian cucks)? Retreat these lands at once (We are open to negotiations basically)
 * Staff: Can we send the Daevites to the Gulag?
