Gerrhan Merchant Republic

 * Government:
 * Protection of the Republic: We are in a state of war like never seen before. Raids are frequent, with thousands killed in many regions. Over 114,000 people have died in the last 25 years. There is no end to this dissent. We believe it is funded by many nearby nations, but we have no way to protect ourselves. Our troops are being checked for any checks and balances immediately, removed if needed, and changed for loyal troops

 * Military Operations and Events
 * The Spice Trade:
 * For the sake of a port and for the sake of stability: Our 10,000 troop Army of the Gulf is to stay in Barigaza to facilitate transports to Luluah, as it develops. We apologise to the Guptas for this circumstance, but hope they understand. A part of our Indian Navy has relocated to this area
 * The Scuttling: 
 * State of the Gulfic Navy: Once the pride of our nation, the Gulfic Navy used to facilitate enough trade for our nation to expand to this point. Taking on the Arashenan Navy, the Aksumite Navy, the Saban Navy and the Qatan navy, these ships have great value. However, over the 100s of years of their existence, they have become old and had to be scuttled. The grand port of Grane, with its scores of Ship Builders are already on task to rebuild the navy, using the old woods of the Gulfic Navy
 * New Standard: We set up a new standard for ship building. Ships are to have sails and rowing capability. Ships should all be capable of travelling in the Southern Ocean. Large ships are to have small row boats, capable of harrassing other ships. All troops are to have axes, and every ship should have archers. This would reset our entire navy, but for now, the Gulfic Navy.
 * New Military Troops:
 * Reformed Gerrhan Bowmen: We have relied on Javelins a lot recently. However, the bows have a niche in our troops too. They have a larger range of attack and is deadly. Integrating these weapons, just like our neighbours, seems like a good idea.
 * Horn of Africa Expedition: 
 * Sanctuary: The Adnanite Sipah has been disbanded, our population drop doesn't allow us to keep the troops employed. The New city of Al-Bahr is now a sanctuary in the face of the ongoing civil war. Many people facing damage, such as those in Susa, leave for this region. They come here because of the Nakhsha, which gave the people widespread knowledge of this region. This expansion in people causes a significant increase in size. The region still gets resources, since Al-Khor Proper and Grane, the biggest port, is protected by our troops, so they are open and safe to be used.
 * Exploration: 
 * Sanctuary: Expands like the Horn of Africa Expedition, but at a much lower rate.
 * Religious Turmoil:
 * The Hamoukar Massacre and the Retaliatory Massacre: The Nabateans continued to escape war zones to the west, and come into our nation in waves. The Christians, looking at these people with resentment, in the village of Hamoukar, descend upon the Nabateans in a militia about 25,000 strong. The village and 381 villages surrounding it were burnt to the ground, with every man, woman and child killed, women raped, then killed. This resulted in over 50,000 murders. The Nabateans, understandably angered, attacked and burnt to the ground 259 villages, killing every man, and keeping every woman and girl, as young as 6, as a sex toy, a heinous crime. Raids across villages continue, but the dead here lie in empty villages, the corpses feeding desert wolves. Only a stench of decomposition settles the desert, the bodies of the dead men becoming fertiliser for the plants that are to colonise the land.
 * The Sacking of Kathe: Kathe, a city surrounded by Assyrians but with Zoroastrian urban areas was the sight of horrifying destruction. The city was quite large, and home to a significant population. Gang violence in the city was rampant. However, the Zoroastrians effectively took the city, killing or removing all the Assyrian Men, and enslaving the Women and girls. The sight of an Assyrian girl, bloodied from wounds, being dragged onto the desert floor outside Kathe, only to be raped, repeatedly... and repeatedly, by various men. The young 13 year old eventually died under the men... yet it continued. A crowd of Assyrians saw this in horror, unable to do anything due to the presence of militias, sneering. The girls mother tried to stop the horror, only to be tied up, raped and tortured. The crowd of Assyrians dispersed, this had become their rallying cry, this story took them from gang violence to war. A large number of militias, 75,000 of them, gathered around Kathe with clubs and daggers, torchers and axes. The housing outside the walls were burnt to nothingness, but the men continued. The men reached the gates, climbing them with ladders. Every Zoroastrian Male around the western gate was dead. The city's residents were put through the same ordeal that the young Assyrian girl went through. The Assyrians reached the Zoroastrian temple, and burnt it, with the priests and priestesses inside. The shrieking of pain and agony swept through the city, the temple writhed in agony. The population of the city was cut short. From 50,000 people, the city had 32,000 killed, and 12,000 taken away as slaves and toys, with 6,000 remaining in the city, in a single city block, protected by militias. The ground was red with blood and agony, the city stained forever, as it burnt to cinder. Not even high stone walls kept these tensions away. Death swept like a swarm of locusts, stopping at nothing, and no one. Our Raiding Party rode from Gupta to reach Kathe before the tragedy stuck... they were too late. As they arrived into Gerrha, news broke of the devastation. They are to be deployed in Shapur Minor, and slowly make their way up to Assyria. For now, they are in Shapur Minor. (Side Note, remove Kathe from the map)
 * The Christians of Awal: The Christians of Awal Island, after being looted by the nearby Zoroastrians, went for blood. The rich traders had a lust for gold that rivaled none, and with their gold stolen, anger rose. They financed large armed attacks into the rest of Awal Island, so much so that the Zoroastrians, which originally considered the Island a stronghold of Zoroastrianism, were now non-existent there. This increased the death toll above expected levels. The region is not too populated. However, the brutality of the attacks still left over 10,000 dead, and 16,000 in slavery. 
 * Assyrian attacks towards Grane: Our troops from the Al-Khor Sipah were deployed to Grane, our biggest port. The city was built after our expansion, Assyrians and Zoroastrians lived together here since the city was built. This meant that the city had little to no violence. The Sipah is stationed around the city, for protection purposes. An army of 10,000 Assyrian Militias crashed into this army. However, this army withstood the attacks and kept them back. Heaven knows how long they can last. Our Assyrian Sipah is in Kandahar right now, resting, and setting up order.
 * The Blockade of Al-Khor Proper: The Gerrhan Republican Sipah, our elite guards, troops usually reserved for protection of the government, have had to be pulled into combat. They are blockading Al-Khor Proper, not allowing any troops or Militia in. They have experienced attacks and raid by various party, but the excessive training keeps them firm and strong. The rest of the land are Zoroastrians, so tensions are very low.
 * Research:
 * Research into better weapons: Swords slightly curved, still being tested, not implemented yet, wait like 2 turns.
 * The Wind Ship: On Hold
 * Elamines: Glass production continues in Al-Khor Proper, at a lower scale
 * Diplomacy:
 * None, we are burning
