Amurru

The Kingdom of Amurru was a puppet state of Egypt, located north of Egyptian Levant. It was established in 38 AEE after the Second Hittite-Egyptian War, as stipulated in the Treaty of Damascus. The kings ruled the state from the capital Kadesh. 
The population was mostly Phoenician, living along the coast, and Amorite, living further inland, though the Egyptian language was also often used due to common visits from Egyptian merchants and officials. Almost all the inhabitants followed the Levantine pantheons of gods, but some shrines of Egyptian gods had been constructed to better connect the puppet kingdom to Egypt. The urbanization level of the country in 71 AEE was similar to Egypt at 19%, with the Phoenicians being much more urban than the Amorites, who were still mostly rural. 
The inhabitants had a moderately good standard of living with the GDP per capita being 74.95 shematy. The main industries were shipbuilding and logging, however Egypt subsidized the puppet state to make sure it was well maintained.
Amurru had no official army or navy, as it was established as a demilitarized zone. Only city garrisons, law enforcement officers, and light patrol boats were allowed by the terms of the Treaty of Damascus. Yet this was being circumvented by warships being built and immediately sent to the Egyptian port of Byblos just south of Amurru, and men who wanted to join the army could easily cross the border and enlist from Baalbek or Byblos into the Egyptian army.

In 71 AEE the puppet state was completely overrun by Hittite forces shortly after the start of the Great Powers' War. After the Second Battle of Kadesh, where the Egyptians were defeated, the Hittites took control of the capital and the rest of the country, executing the king Abdi-Ashirta III in the process. The region remained an important battlefield for the following years, first between the Egyptians and the Hittites, and later between the OFK and EC forces in the OFK-EC War. After the Kingdom of the Levant was founded in the territory of the former Kingdom of Ugarit, it quickly expanded south and conquered most of former Amurru as well, with the exception of Arwad which declared neutrality along with the other four major Phoenician cities (Byblos, Beirut, Sidon, and Tyre).
