 Kingdom of Imerina

 * Government: Absolute Monarchy (Kingdom)
 * King: Rafandrandrava (B 1453 D 1494) (R 1469-1494), Andriamasindohafandrana (B 1477, alive) (R 1494-Present)
 * Dynasty: Ammagari (Andrianerinerina branch)
 * 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. 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 531 000 total
 * Ambanja: 9 000
 * Mahajanga: 6 000
 * Toamasina: 1 300
 * Rural regions: ca 515 000
 * Ethnicities: 98% Malagasy (divided into 69% Merina and 21% others such as Betsimisaraka, Sakalava, Tsimihety etc.), 2% Komoro Natives (Swahili?)
 * Religion: 99% Haintenism (traditional Merina folklore), 1% Zoroastrianism
 * Wars and Conflicts (italics: Potential War):
 * Hostilities With the Bara Polity (1): Yeah, we hate eachother big time. And it's time to truly show the Bara that we don't fuck around. Multiple raids are performed on their borderlands throughout this turn. Diplomats reassure tribes whose lands we pass through that our intentions are not hostile towards them so that they do not have to worry about seeing warriors traversing close to their settlements and such. If Rakotomanjato is still alive (that ca 60 year old bastard) he'll regret ever betraying the Merina.
 * Hostilities With the Bara Polity (2): We might be getting hit by Baran raids as a response to our attacks, maybe, possibly, there's a chance, perhaps?
 * 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: All
 * 5 200 Spearmen
 * 3 200 Bowmen
 * 300 Crossbowmen
 * 500 Fossa Warriors
 * Navy:
 * 7 transport ships
 * 11 Ahuric military ships
 * Diplomacy:
 * Ahuric Empire: See event.
 * Events:
 * Andriamasindohafandrana Ascends: Not very long after the death of his mother, Rafandrandrava's wife Rakalafohy fell ill and passed away in 1493. Rafandrandrava had known her since childhood and was obviously crushed by this and spent the rest of his life isolated from others until he abdicated the next year, in favor of his 16 year old son Andriamasindohafandrana. Later that same year Rafandrandrava would take a fall while out exploring the Central Highlands and later die from his injuries. Some think it was an accident while others think he attempted suicide. On his deathbed he assigned Ndahimananjara as the advisor of the young Andriamasondohafandrana and wrote down his last wish, that he would be buried in the same place as his late wife and that her shrine to be built next to his on Maromokotro. It is done and a new king is brought to power, who now receives a different form of raising and tutoring from the former warrior that is Ndahimananjara. While he didn't truly know his father for that long, Andiramasindohafandrana promises himself to do his best to improve Imerina in the way that his father had envisioned it.
 * Influences of the Ahuric Empire: With increasing diplomacy and interaction, the Adananita have set influence over us, what with their technology and such but also through foreign interaction sort of created the first real Merina merchants (some are also of other tribes but this is to simplify). Now that these merchants meet the merchants of the Ahurics regularly on our shores the merchants are the first to gain knowledge of for example the existance of horses as well as what cavalry is. They are also exposed to the religion that the Ahuric Empire practices: Zoroastrianism and some have practically converted to it or adopted parts of it to their practice of Haintenism by the end of 1494. For the few that fully converted to the "other side", they start to learn the Adnanite language and alphabet in order to read scripture and soon enough the start of translating this begins, leading to the start of the Adnanite alphabet influencing and mixing into the Sorabe alphabet, although right now only for Zoroastrian texts.
 * Adapting New Technology: We've held on to foreign tech for quite a while and now we start adapting it and studying it more. Crossbows especially for the purpose of warfare in the future. But the studying is also done for the purpose of creating our own versions of the different technologies when we are ready for it, so we don't have to depend on getting it from foreign sources, who are susceptible to whatever goes on in their world.
 * Expansion - the Settling of the Central Highlands: As our population and borders grow, we reach the Central Highlands of Madagasikara, a less densely populated area. An exploration campaign is set up and many Merina people move to settle in these new lands. After Rafandrandrava's incident and subsequent death, it ends up on hold, but his son later declares the settling and exploration to continue for the sake of Imerina. This expands our borders further as well.
 * Ndahimananjara: Ndahimananjara's child Andriantompokoindrindra that I told you to remember and you didn't remember because you don't care marries a lovely woman named Rabodonandriantompo and in 1493 their first child is born, Rangitamanjakatrimovavy, keep an eye on her as well... or we're no longer friends.
 * 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. (update on what it looks like generally? please? pretty please with a cherry on top? like maybe an event on the status of Ahuric and Merina influence on the Swahili)
