Satavahana Empire

The Satavahana Empire was an empire located in central India, controlling the area between Dravidia and the Indo-Gangetic plains. It was formed in 196AD. Immediately after forming, the nation expanded eastward, eventually expanding across the Deccan Plateau and reaching the Bay of Bengal. It did little expanding after this, mainly only growing northwards. This changed when the Republic of China came close to their borders, when the nation began to rapidly expand into the remaining parts of India, becoming a trading partner with the Siberian Kingdom, and facilitating trade across the Indian subcontinent. 
Afterwards, they established a colony in Arabia, landing just south of Byzantine Oman. Their colony became quite large, taking up most of Oman, part of Yemen and parts of Saudi Arabia. However, its location led to a conflict with Somalia, starting a border conflict between the two which eventually escalated into a full-on war when the Satavahana Empire was discovered to have managed to colonize southern Madagascar in 212AD. The Chinese also invaded them, which led to them surrendering after their capital was taken. 
This war resulted in the end of the empire's independence, as they became a puppet state under the suzerainty of the RoC, and later Asian Federation, not being able to do much. They did establish a small colony in Central Africa, but it later was cut off from expanding by Timor. During Asia's transformation into the Terran Federation in 218AD, the Satavahana Empire was abolished and annexed by them, ending its existence entirely.
