Sultanate of Muscat-Oman

 * Government: Absolute Monarchy (Sultanate)
 * Sultan: Beizur al-Dimashqi (B 384 AD D July 456 AD) (R 412 AD - June 456 AD), Himnari Badok (R June 456 AD - August 456 AD), Achmad el-Malan (R August 456 AD - February 457 AD), Husseik Abdelzin (R February 457 AD - December 460 AD), Hassan bin Farsid Aziz (B 402 AD, still alive) (R December 460 AD - Present)
 * Hakim of Al-Sumali and Socotra: Ratiya Khaliid (B 419 AD, still alive) (R 462 AD - Present)
 * Economy: Based around fishing, some agriculture and trading mostly, as well as taxing of the villagers and peasants. With the spices from the east we become richer by selling them to nearby peoples. Trade with Rome influences us. We also are trading with Upathara Wansura, Gerrha and Chutu. Currently the economy is being stressed due to the religious wars and violence occurring all across the sultanate.
 * Capital: Muscat
 * Demographics:
 * Population:
 * Muscat: 7290
 * Ibri: 4450
 * Salala: 3501
 * Duqm: 3234
 * Shoqra (occupied by Suraban): ~2000
 * Al-Mukalia: 2001
 * Tamreda: 1150
 * Sur: 1405
 * Al-Hafu (Hafun): 321
 * Rural areas (AKA everything else): ~100,275
 * Ethnicities (counting Suraban): 72% Omani, 18% Surabanese, 8% Gerrhan, 2% Azd tribes, 1% African tribes.
 * Religion: 95% Zoroastrianism, 5% Other (Christianity, Paganism etc.)
 * Wars and Conflicts (italics: Potential War):
 * Religious Turmoil: Arab Pagans have followed the events in Gerrha and now have started revolting here as well, looting, burning, killing and raping in squadrons. Adnanite Pagans are arriving from the north and there are squads arriving from Gerrha (the ones who killed our volunteers). Throughout the years without a proper successor to Beizur, the different sultans act differently towards the raids. Himnari attempts to calm them down and find a proper agreement, which fails and he is later deposed and killed. Replacement Achmad el-Malan, an old war hero in the Bactrian War goes for full force against them, but he is later assassinated as well. Husseik Abdelzin, a man that's largely wanted as sultan, becomes sultan and also fights back the others, but not for religious reasons, instead for the nations stability. He is however taken out as well, not liked by the True Brothers because he wanted to give Suraban independence to stop the war. Hassan bin Farsid Aziz, a man similar to Beizur and member of the True Brothers starts a campaign to end the raids. Groups of soldiers fight back the raiding pagans and perform atrocities in villages and other settlements that have a large amount of non-Zoroastrians in them, killing several civilians in ways that let's just say, aren't pretty. Eliminating all revolters will end the struggle. Large groups of soldiers are set up by our "border" to the Adnanites, in case of invading/raiding peoples.
 * Surabanese War of Independence: The groups of nationalistic Surabani people have declared independence and started a war to gain it, taking advantage of the chaos around. Due to not being prepared, they are capable of occupying Shoqra rather fast, killing the City Guards and establishing a frontline upon Muscati troops arriving. The revolt would also spill over into Saba, who also owns former Surabanese lands, most notably Sana'a. 1500 Spearmen, 1500 Swordmen, 1000 Bowmen, 1400 Dromedary Forces, 900 Cavalry units (300 of each) and 400 Javelineers are sent to the frontlines, using cavalry distracting tactics to assist in flanking enemy units. We attempt to oush as far as possible and to take back Shoqra.
 * Race to the Throne: The turmoil within the sultanate caused several people such as nobles and high-ranking soldiers to plot the removal of Beizur from the throne and taking it themselves. During a speech in 456 AD, Beizur and civilians were surrounded by soldiers loyal to noble Himnari Badok. He was deposed and arrested while Himnari took the throne and looked to end turmoil diplomatically. Beizur, suffering in prison, killed himself. This didn't last though as Achmad el-Malan, old war hero, saw this as implausible and rallied troops to usurp the throne and install a proto-military dictatorship. He had Himnari and his supporters all executed and started the raids, lootings, burnings and rapings on the revolting non-Zoroastrian people and their settlements. This lasted longer until Husseik Abdelzin, a man actually supported by the people, who wants to fight for Muscat-Oman's safety and stability and not for imperialism or religion, gathered enough people to threaten Achmad. Before Achmad could act he was killed by an assassin hired by Husseik, who lessened the violence against the revolters and focused more on holding against Suraban and making peace with them. A society of monarchists, the True Brothers, are horrified and angry that he is willing to give Suraban its independence. After Husseik rules for almost 4 years, he is brutally murdered during a speech, mimicking the end of Beizur's reign. The True Brothers society chooses fanatic Zoroastrian Hassan bin Farsid Aziz to become sultan and he has ruled since then. Although a fanatic, he isn't so brutal on making Zoroastrianism the only religion within Muscat-Oman, but instead to rid the pagan raids and to end Suraban's attempt at independence.
 * Intervention in the Gerrhan Religious War: It continues.
 * Defence of Al-Sumali and Socotra: Our colonies are garrisoned to ensure their safety.
 * East Ibri: Ibri is fortified and defended as much as possible, it is an important city in terms of trade, foreign investment and the border with Gerrha.
 * Conscription Law: Achmad turns it up to 13%, which is backed down to 12% by Husseik. Hassan maintains that conscription law.
 * Military: Our conscription law is ~12% of the population
 * Reformed Shielded Spearmen: 2350
 * Reformed Swordmen: 3150
 * Reformed Bowmen: 2378
 * City Guards (found mostly in cities but smaller "squads" also exist in larger villages): 1197
 * Reformed Dromedary Forces: 2231
 * Sword Cavalry: 1385
 * Spear Cavalry: 914
 * Javelin Cavalry: 833
 * Javelineers: 1023
 * Navy:
 * 76 transport ships (can hold around 8-12 men)
 * 204 trade ships
 * 142 warships (galleys pretty much)
 * 107 fire ships
 * Although not part of the navy we have 409 fishing ships.
 * Diplomacy:
 * Suraban: Surrender, or your people will suffer more and more.
 * Gupta: Will you maintain trade with us after your war?
 * Gerrha: Help.
 * Events:
 * The Religious State: After Beizur's death, all sultans until Hassan attempts to regulate freedom of religion and assimilation, however due to their short periods as rulers nothing really happens. Hassan keeps the class system established by Beizur, but allows freedom of religion, but Zoroastrianism is till a big influence in politics and society. This, along with the revolts, Surabanese war and people formerly being forced to be Zoroastrian going back to past faiths increases the number of non-Zoroastrians.
 * Establishment of the Hakim: For the purposes of regulating and making governing of overseas territories easier, especially in these times of crisis, Hassan establishes the title of Hakim, a governing person who serves similar to that of a vassal to take care of Al-Sumali and Socotra. The first Hakim is Ratiya Khaliid, a noble who has lived in Al-Sumali and also trusted friend of Hassan.
 * Al-Hafu: Ratiya Khaliid sets up a settlement on the peninsula of Ras Hafun, that first serves as a military outpost. This starts to become an actual settlement and Ratiya names it Al-Hafu as Al-Sumali residents start to migrate in and building the city up.
 * Al-Sumali: It is slightly expanded upon to the west to make way for more residents.
 * Temples: Any Zoroastrian Fire Temples burned down are to be rebuilt if enough of it is salvagabale.
