History[]

The Minbarri tribes arrived in the region around 4000BP. It is believed that the Minbarri tribes, a nomadic warlike people, were pushed south by it's enemies, before settling in the steppes of the The Khitasz mountain range. It wasn't long before the Minbarri tribes took to raiding small tribal villages already in the region and Shuquilian villages to the west and between 3937BP and 3922BP the two tribes were firmly at war. The Minbarri tribes also suffered the constant threat of attack from the smaller tribes, who would regulary join together to attack the larger Minbarri tribes.

The war with the Shuquilian tribes ended, when both tribes joined with King Zeus I of Samuelonia in 3922BP, with Minbarrium becoming a vassal state of Samuelonia. King Zeus made the leader of the Minbarri tribes, Andizza Mahkthor, King of Minbarrium. With the war against the Shuquilian tribes ended, King Mahktor went about destroying the smaller tribes within his new Kingdom.

Around 1090BP, Mounism spread to Minbarrium. Mounism was quickly adopted by the Minbarri people, who had previously worshiped there own gods. In 1053BP, Minbarrium became an Emirate of the Caliph of North-East Samuelonia, which was a religous union, remaining territory of Samuelonia.

Minbarrium remained loyal to the Caliph of North-East Samuelonia during the first Mounist War of Samuelonia between 1048BP and 1042BP. The Mounist Emirates were defeated in the war and Minbarrium saw it's leaders punished by King Julius II, who sent garrisons to all of the Minbarri cities. In 1027BP, King Septimus I passed a law, making the worshiping of Mounism illegal. This was a catalyst for the second Mounist War of Samuelonia, which thousands of Minbarri's took up arms to fight under the banner of Moun.

Minbarrium was also heavily involved in the third Mounist War of Samuelonia, during 1001BP and 994BP, which resulted in independence for the North-East Samuelonia Emirates. Minbarrium remained an Emirate of the Caliphate of North-East Samuelonia until the invasion of the Uestadenia Empire in 587BP.

Minabarri War[]

In 799 BP, a prominent Cruisian landowner in southern Minarrium, Henrich Aethen, raised an army to defend his lands from local Minbarri warlords, who had declared war on Larynia, for not paying his taxes. Aethen's lands quickly fell to the Minbarri's and was forced to flee. Aethen travelled to Francisco where he appealed to the Knights of Cruis to assist in recovering his lands. Authority for a Crusade against the Minbarri heathens was authorised and the Knights of Cruis placed Edmund de Larynia of command of the Crusade and called upon nobles, Knights and peasants far and wide to join the Crusade.

Recent History[]

Oil was discovered in western Larynia in 261AP, which led to an influx of workers and development to the Province with Samuelonian Petroleum setting up large scale operations in the region.

The economy is dominated by oil and gas exports which constituted 70% of Larynia's revenue and 80% of export earnings as of 308. Although the petroleum industry provides the majority of economic revenues, about 75% of all mining sector employees work in mines producing minerals other than oil and natural gas. These include coal, iron ore, copper, lead, zinc, uranium, and gold.

Barley, corn, cotton, sugar beets, tea, hemp, tobacco, fruits, potatoes, vegetables, spices, nuts and dates are grown across the Emirate. Livestock products include lamb, goat meat, beef, poultry, milk, eggs, butter, cheese, wool, and leather.
