 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 520 000 total
 * Ambanja: 8 550
 * Mahajanga: 4 500
 * Toamasina: 750
 * Rural regions: ca 507 000
 * Ethnicities: 98% Malagasy (divided into 72% Merina and 27,5% 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 - Strike Back Again: The ships follow the Avestan ships to their islands and then retreat, since there is no invasion force to attack them with. In 1473 Zafimahova sends the Ahuric ships with a force of 3 000 men but, a miscalculation of the amount of Avestan ships forced a retreat back to Imerina, with the loss of one ship.
 * Bara Skirmish: A skirmish between a number of Fossa Warriors and Bara soldiers occurred in 1474 after the warriors saw the group as trespassers (and also recognized them as Merina warriors). The result of this is kind of up to Staff and also if you consider Rakotomanjato to be alive he will be very much insulted. Regardless of the results, the first contact with the organized Bara state is negative.
 * 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: 8 300 (all except Fossa Warriors)
 * 5 000 Spearmen
 * 3 000 Bowmen
 * 300 Crossbowmen
 * 900 Fossa Warriors
 * Navy:
 * 7 transport ships
 * 11 Ahuric military ships
 * Diplomacy:
 * Natives of Moaly and Ngazija: See The "First" Queen.
 * Betsimisaraka: Rafandrandrava personally thanks them for assisting us previously.
 * Events:
 * The "First" Queen: Despite Rafandrandrava being of age and prepared for royal work and Zafimahova not being regent after this, she still has gained influence from her "official" time as regent for her son and thus still holds onto power that basically can be described as her still being regent and Rafandrandrava basically being a bit of her puppet and the orders he give, are orders given to him by Zafimahova. After the failed attack on the Order of Avesta she calls off much of the military effort that previous kings put in. The Merina have successfully thwarted the raids and shall they come back they will meet our iron once more, but we do not have the resources to attack them and if they stay where they are, we have won. Still, she approaches the remaining independent Komoro Islands of Moaly and Ngazija (Mohéli and Grande Comore), proposing annexation in a similar fashion to what was done with Njoany. This is so that no one else can exploit these islands for their own gain, especially the Order of Avesta.
 * 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.
 * Discovery of Bara: In 1474 a group of explorers set out to travel all of Madagasikara, for the purposes of mapmaking. Whilst there had been rumors of a new organized entity of tribes, nothing was confirmed and they didn't think much of it, but a small group of Fossa Warriors went with them after being hired. After some time of traveling they ran into the borders of Bara, encountering warriors, leading to a skirmish.
 * Ndahimananjara: After Toamasina is recognized as the third major settlement of Imerina, he is also given the honorary title of "Mahery Fo" (Hero) by Rafandrandrava himself. He is also recognized as the chieftain of Toamasina and marries Rafandrandravas older sister Nandrianina. He is practically the representative of all Fossa Warriors in Imerina at this point.
