Almoq (Sultanate)

This page is about the Sultanate of Almoq. For the city of the same name, please see Almoq (City).
Almoq is one of the coastal Sultanates of the Kaspari Empire, located where the desert of the Dulqa meets the Parlanic Sea. The vast majority of the Sultanate's population resides in the city of Almoq.
==Geography==
Much of Almoq is empty desert. The Sultanate is approximately 75 miles wide, of which only the 5 miles or so nearest the coast is occupied. The remaining land is dominated by extensive sand dunes, with only a few scattered barren patches and no oases or water sources. The coastal strip features groves of stunted, shrublike trees, from which frankincense and other aromatic gums are harvested. This wasteland is inhabited by herdsmen who bring the gum into the city of Almoq for trade.
The city of Almoq lies on a peninsula jutting into the Parlanic Sea. The only other settlements in the Sultanate are small fishing villages located on the shores of Almoq Bay and Tarul Bay, and a few scattered farming villages southeast of the city, where nearly all of the Sultanate's crops are grown.
==Economy==
The economy of Almoq is based around both the frankincense trade and the Sultanate's pearling harvest. For about five months out of the year, the bays are filled with pearling vessels, ranging from two-man dinghys to luxury yachts to naval submersibles.
The Sultanate is ruled by Sultan Basbas Mustaqqi.
