Flag of the Mughal Empire

The **Mughal Empire**, also sometimes referred to as simply India, is a nation on the Indian subcontinent in Asia, which is led by BananaManCan, also known simply as Banana. The nation includes the towns of Agra, Lahore (Pakistan), Dhaka (Bangladesh), and Sri Lanka. The national anthem of the nation is Qadam Qadam Badhaaye Ja. The nation is also a founding member of the **Asian Treaty Organization** (**ATO**).

## Geography

The **Mughal Empire** lies on the Indian subcontinent and Central-Southern Asia. The landscape of the country is mostly either Savanna, Jungle Edge, or Desert. The land it self is extremely flat, making it perfect for expansion and building. There are many rivers flowing through the **Mughal Empire**, which makes it much easier to navigate and traverse.

## Politics

The Mughal Empire uses an Absolute Monarchy to govern its citizens, as well as the principles of the religion of Islam, which it adopted from its neighboring nation of the Ottoman Empire.

## History

### Legend of Mughalmesh

The legendary founding of the Mughal Empire was set in the Epic of Mughalmesh. This was a book which detailed the great journeys of the mythical Mughal hero of Mughalmesh of the village of Mughalabad, who conquered neighboring cities in order to found the Mughal Empire. This, however, is just a myth, and has no historical backing.

### Transfer of the Polish Crown

The actual founding of the Mughal Empire happened just after the transfer of the Polish Crown, which saw King Banana of Poland crown David33333 as his successor, thus transferring the Polish crown from the House of Hamburg to the House of Riga.

King Banana would then move to India, and found the city of **Agra**, and then the Mughal Empire. Not long after, Emperor T3mp0st of the Qing Dynasty asked Emperor Banana if he would be interested in joining an **Asian Treaty Organization** (**ATO**), in order to protect against colonization from Western powers, most notably Ocevia. Emperor Banana agreed, and became a founding member of the ATO.

### Steady growth to Stagnation

Agra would continue to expand its borders and population steadily for the next few days, reaching a population of 4 people. However, this growth would soon be halted as more people began flooding to the Soviet Union, and not minding India. This would annoy Emperor Banana, who would see many people whom which he attempted to bring into the Mughal Empire settle in Russia repeatedly.

It isn't all doom and gloom in Agra though. During this time Emperor Banana was able to set up a villager farm, which greatly improved his city's profitability.

### Mughrowth

Mughrowth is a term used by the Mughal government, which means internal growth and expansion of the Mughal Empire. Starting on June 23rd, Mughrowth would start to be put into effect, as new player oliiiver1 would found the city of Lahore (currently just called Pakistan), in Pakistan for the Mughal Empire. Mughrowth would continue as one of Oliver's friends, Farayy, would found the city of Dhaka (currently just called Bangladesh), in the Bengal region.

The continuation of Mughrowth would mean that an internal structure would have to be created. This would entail establishing the Praants of India, Pakistan, and Bengal, with Banana, Oliver, and Farayy as their Shahs respectively. The Mughal Emperor would hold both the title of Emperor, and Shah of India, and be higher in the hierarchy than the Shahs of Pakistan and Bengal. Soon after, the Mughal Empire would also acquire Sri Lanka, which would mean that the Mughal Empire now had claims in every corner of India.

### Associate State, and Baghdad War

As the Ottomans' Albanian Crisis died down, it seemed Asia would have peace and prosperity. This was until Left

decided to disregard Ottoman claims in the Middle East, and claim in Baghdad. Their excuse for claiming was to 'gain the oil reserves' despite that being a horrendously stupid excuse, as there is no such thing as oil. The Ottomans requested aid from its allies in the ATO, plus the Soviet Union and Ocevia, who would later withdraw. Almost every single nation requested accepted to help the Ottomans, except for the Qing Dynasty, which needed some time to think about it. This meant that the Mughal Empire found itself in its first ever war, being against the American invaders.

However, during this time, Sri Lanka took it as an opportunity to declare independence from the Mughal Empire, and create their own Buddhist nation. Banana was mildly annoyed that he wasn't consulted beforehand, but a temporary compromise was met, in which Sri Lanka would become an Associate State of the Mughal Empire, which means that Sri Lanka would technically be independent, but essentially a puppet.

### Victory to World Power

The Mughal Empire continued its fight against the United States alongside the Eastern Powers. The Eastern Powers' Victory in this war gave a major boost in the prestige of the Empire. Banana would go to attend the Kostantiniyye Award Ceremony and Conference, where he, along with the other leaders of the Eastern Powers being Pip and Chavez, decided upon many aspects of the new world order. New England was to be carved up among the victors, with the Mughals obtaining Connecticut and Rhode Island. And since the Mughal Empire was the least developed of the victorious powers, the Ottoman Empire and Soviet Union agreed to aid the Mughals in allowing them to sustain their position as a world power. The conference would conclude in the formalization of a new strong alliance between the three nations, called the Convergence Coalition.

### Future

The Mughal Empire is in a delicate position. It needs more people in order to sustain its position as a world power, and ownership of its new American colony. Its closest neighbors, being that of the Qing Dynasty and Ottoman Empire, seek to help the Mughals continue their Mughrowth, and hopefully become a greater power in the future.
