Asia:
Emirate of Afghanistan
*British Occupied* Monarchy: Emir Abdur Rahman Khan
Economy: (2/0/0/2(0))
Technology/Era: Pre-Industrial Revolution
Army (mobilizable): 3 irregular division, various disorganized tribes
Navy: none
Brief Summary: Afghanistan is stuck in the middle of the Great Game, the competition between Russia and Britain for power and influence in central Asia, and most likely will not survive for another year. A riot in Kabul killed the British envoy, and then the British moved in and took Kabul in the Second Anglo-Afghan War. Currently many scattered rebels continue to attack British forces, but they are mostly disorganized. Although British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli wishes to continue the Great Game and gain more influence, it is clear that any sort of colonization of Afghanistan would be fool hearty and internal affairs are still mostly dealt by the Emir.
