Sultanate of Adumar

The Sultanate of Adumar (سلطنة عذاري) is a fictional nation in the 1880 Quikbyrn Ocean Game. It is a non-represented state.

The Sultanate is a confederation of formerly independent kingdoms on the island of Adumar. Formed by the leaders of the Eight Tribes of Adumar in 1860s, the Adumari Sultanate is currently ruled by the House of Hashim.

Politics
The Sultanate of Adumar has a notoriously divisive system of government. While the House of Hashim is recognized by all Eight Tribes as the 'King of Kings', strong resistance from the Eastern and Northern Tribes has caused trouble for the Sultanate since its formation. In particular, the Urdui Revolt in 1872, which pitted the forces loyal to the House of Hashim (mostly in the southwest of the country) against forces loyal to the usurper, Karshim Al-Habib of the Eastern Kalheen tribe. The revolt, while relatively small in size, had a lasting effect on King Al-Hasin's policy towards the Eastern and Northern tribes, who now are mostly cut out of internal politics. Money for development from the central government is no longer sent to the North and East regions, and only the area around the capital, Kalrahn, has benefited from foreign investment abroad. This has sown widespread discontent with the central Sultanate government.

Geography
Adumar forms the eastern border of the Sea of Adumar, and sits on the northern end of the Quikbyrn Ocean.

The majority of the Adumari mainland is taken up by the Jahrtan Desert. The desert region spans from the west coast of the mainland to the northeast corner, and is only broken by the 'Living Places', small temperate areas on the coast. The majority of the population lives in the southern part of the island, which has a more tropical climate.

Trivia

 * Like Heian, the Sultanate of Adumar was originally a represented country before the representative left the game. It was then converted into a non-represented country and renamed from the Adumari Confederacy to the Sultanate of Adumar.
