 * Economy: The economy of Imerina is based mainly on agriculture and fishing, there's also trade going on with the Swahili and various peoples on our home island including the other Malagasy states of Betsimisaraka (even though relations are strained at this point), Mahafaly and Bara. The Merina economy stands as one of the strongest and most developed in all of Sub-Saharan Africa, mostly due to the effect of foreign contact. Imerina has started to influence other states through trade and the like.
 * Allies: N/A
 * Capital: Mahajanga
 * Demographics (including rebelling areas):
 * Population: ca 582 000 total
 * Mahajanga: 9 500

 * Morafenobe: 1 800
 * Rural regions: ca 562 000
 * Ethnicities: 88% Malagasy (divided into 54% Merina and 34% others such as Betsimisaraka, Sakalava, Tsimihety, Sihanaka, Antankarana etc.), 6% Komoro Natives (Swahili), 5% Adnanite
 * Religion: 75% Tombovelan Zoroastrianism, 25% Haintenism (traditional Merina folklore)
 * Wars and Conflicts (italics: Potential War):
 * Conquest of Bara: An assault of mainly spearmen, crossbowmen and cavalry is sent into the Baran lands. They're weak and not much of an actual battle plan is required, the troops just need to go in, kill opposing soldiers and capture territory until the Bara eventually surrender. Shouldn't take more than a year.
 * 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. Parentheses means the deployed units in cases where not all units are deployed for war.
 * Deployed units: All
 * 1 800 Spearmen
 * 200 Swordsmen
 * 600 Bowmen
 * 1 650 Crossbowmen
 * 700 Light Cavalry
 * 200 Fossa Warriors
 * Navy:
 * 10 Adananita class ships
 * 7 Mer'ana class ships
 * 8 transport ships
 * Diplomacy:
 * Bara: It's your funeral.
 * Mtende, Pemba, Bangalla, Nipele and Mutapa: Regular Zoroastrian missionaries (NOT the Order of Sihanaka) are sent to their coastlines.
 * Events:
 * After a Queen, Another (and Andriamanelo) (four): Another few years pass by and with new lands brought in, they need to be properly incorporated into Imerina. New administrative divisions are drawn up and the new cultures brought in, mainly the Bara and Antandroy people, are like the others given a representative speaker and all that jazz. Perfectly balanced like all things should be. With Bara conquered most likely, the dream of a united Matagasykara is very close, so close that we can nearly touch it. Already plans are smithed between military personnel as well as Rafohy, Razakatsitakatrandriana and Andriamanelo, plans of an invasion of Betsimisaraka that is. Mahafaly has generally been on friendly terms with us and would probably not risk war. Betsimisaraka however is our enemy since the civil war and the second strongest realm on the island. Even if they would accept being annexed, we can't really risk it as there could be loyalist attempting revolt. Also, we need to show everyone on our home island that we do NOT fuck around, so a conquest would convince everyone that we're boss and that the monarch truly is legitimate and has right to the throne of all of Matagasykara.
 * Order of Sihanaka: The order is noticed by the royal court. Rafohy would recognize their existence and work as legitimate, although they would remain a non-governmental order. Rafohy basically told them "if you convert some places for us and don't start going rogue or anything, you can have some money". So she paid the order quite a hefty sum in exchange for the conversion of various places that still have pure Haintenist communities, like in the most mountainous hard-to-reach places. They're also placed in Bara following the conquest.
 * Southern Expansion - Imerina rules Matagasykara: Following the Conquest of Bara that would most likely be done by 1567, the lands of Matagasykara that are still under tribal rule would be annexed by Imerina.
