==== Kingdom of Imerina   ====
 * Government: Absolute Monarchy (Kingdom)
 * King: Rafandrandrava (B 1453, alive) (R 1469-Present)
 * Queen (de facto regent): Zafimahova (B 1434, alive) (R 1469-Present)
 * Dynasty: Ammagari
 * 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, slightly strained due to the Ahuric Civil War. 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 524 000 total
 * Ambanja: 9 000
 * Mahajanga: 4 750
 * Toamasina: 1 000
 * Rural regions: ca 510 000
 * Ethnicities: 98% Malagasy (divided into 72% Merina and 26% others such as Betsimisaraka, Sakalava, Tsimihety etc.), 2% Komoro Natives (Swahili?)
 * Religion: 100% Haintenism (traditional Merina folklore)
 * Wars and Conflicts (italics: Potential War):
 * Under Attack: Groups of warriors are still trained to be prepared to thwart raid attempts from the Order of Avesta, although we have heard nothing from them in several years.
 * Hostilities With the Bara Polity: They remain. Remaining warriors throughout Imerina are prepared of any form of invasion from the Bara polity although no Merina offensives have been declared yet.
 * 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:
 * Bara: Well, there shall only be hostilities between us then you cunt.
 * Ahuric Empire: We appreciate them assisting with kicking the shit out of the Order of Avesta preventing the Avestans from harming either of our realms.
 * Events:
 * The "First" Queen: While loosening up her tight grip (no innuendos here) on Rafandrandrava, allowing him to actually do important stuff, she is still big in power, making Imerina practically function as a diarchy with the King and Queen (although not married to the king because, it's her son and ya don't do that here).
 * 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: For long (or basically since contact with the outside world aka the Ahuric Empire was made), Imerina has seen itself as a bit of the "leader" or "supreme state" of Madagascar, having the best technology, contact with foreign powerful people and a strong military and monarchy. So the Sakalava and Antankarana (since Imerina was placed in the north, where the Merina people don't live but the Antankarana, Sakalava and Tsimihety do, I assume we just kinda switch places a bit between Merina and Antankarana) lands to the south are integrated through religion, culture and such. There is an attempt to create a good friendship between the Merina and Sakalava, who live along most of the west coast, to convince them to be part of the Merina realm and remain there.
 * 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.
