Aksum

 * Government: Theocracy
 * Negus:
 * Abdikarim (?-853)
 * Ephraim (853-880)
 * Abdikarim (880-887)
 * Meseret (887-present)
 * Economy: Through maritime trade, Aksum remains in a pivotal position along the Red and Arabian Sea's. Ivory and salt remain primary exports, while gold and iron are sold expensively and used for coinage. With colonial expansion along the Horn of Africa being made, maritime trade along the coast is nearly doubled as more ports are set up.
 * Capital: Axum
 * Demographics:
 * Population: 5,800,000 (81% Ethiopian/Axumites, 9% Egyptian, 5% Arabia, 5% Mixed Afro-Asiatic)
 * Religion: 73% Christianity, 22% Judaism, 5% Zoroastrian
 * Diplomacy:
 * Al-Sumali: Due to the volatility that Grane has shown in the past, it is suggested that an economic and military agreement is made to both secure the maritime trade further so that is beneficial to both parties (Aksum and Al-Sumali), as well as to secure the sovereignty of the state itself.
 * Al-Sumali, Alodia, Bega, Byzantium, Makuria: An African-based trade route is suggested for regulating inland trade in the area, as well as to create a fundamental positive relation between the remaining Roma Centrum and it's southern neighbors. The proposed trade route mimics the "Silk Road", with trade extending from Jerusalem to Al-Hafu.
 * Grane: Aksumian delegates offer to purchase the island of Tamreda for gold (~$350,000 USD)
 * Muscat-Oman city-states: With the former nation of Muscat-Oman continuing to be split into various factions, the city-state of Salala is offered military protection from the Azarkhate, Grane, and Yemen in return for joining Aksum.
 * Yemen: Non-agression pact?
 * Events:
 * Colonies of the Horn: Expansion southward is made as more Swahili tribes are incorperated into the general Aksumian identity.
 * Architecture: The capital city of Axum is restructured and urbanized as a result. The Church of Saint Abdikarim "Abraham" is built in Erota, which currently stands as the largest Oriental Orthodox church in the region.
