Nation Background: Khazaria has always been a strong power, which however was not always a good thing for it as its various neighbours kept uniting in coalitions to stop the Kaganate's expansion. The fact that their southern neighbours participated in this has only proven that they are ungrateful dogs, for without Khazar help the Caliphal forces would never have taken Constantinople. Still, though often enough kept at bay, the Khazars made gains in most directions, over time. Recently revived and reformed by Kagan Iyas IV, Khazaria, despite some backwardness, is ready to press on, but the problem is that of choice, for the southern Bulgar lands and the access to the Mediterranean, Central Asia and the control of the Silk Route and Swedish Baltic colonies and the access to the Baltic look equally seductive.
