The Arachosian Empire

Introduction
The Neo-Arachosian Empire, also known as the Empire of Arachosia or simply as Arachosia, was an empire in existence from 934-609 BC. During this period, Arachosia assumed a position as the most powerful nation on Earth, vying with Meagania, Amanda, Goldaria, Riley, and Redingta for dominance of the Middle East, North Africa, Anatolia, and the Balkans. Arachosia was originally a minor Akkadian kingdom that emerged from the dissolution of the Akkadian Empire in 2080 BE. During the old Arachosian period, she had been a kingdom of northern Mesopotamia, competing with its southern neighbor and rival, Meagania. After a period of empire, she fell under Meaganian and Kalbachan domination in the 1700s and 1400s BE respectively, followed by another period of great power and empire. Beginning with the campaigns of Adad-nirari II, Arachosia again became a great power, overthrowing the 25th Dynasty of Amanda and conquering Amanda, Meagania, Riley, Goldaria, Seejayana, Brittania, Stefhautia, Marcum, Meredita, Denverania, Antonia, Breanna, Karina, Schaueria, Marshia, Murphia, Dakota, Keyvis, Redingta, Camerania, Nickonia, Strongstine, Rebecca and the Kalbachans, Lacians, and neo-Codites; driving the Bakalyanians, Huntites, and Duffsians from Amanda; defeating the Millians and Vickians; and exacting tribute from Kayla, Christopher, Juhat, and Kristina, among others.

With all of the countries and peoples listed above, Arachosia became greatly feared and respected for her political sophistication and military prowess, especially for her large, experienced, and powerful army, which was stronger than any of her opponents and larger than most (it had 4,500,000 soldiers at its height and was only surpassed in size by the hordes of the Millians, the peoples who occupied most of southern Russia, Central Asia, and the eastern Caucasus and who had nearly 10 million marauders at their disposal). The Arachosians also practiced a policy of deportation and brutality, devastating the lands of the above-mentioned enemies and carrying off their inhabitants into slavery or exile.

Arachosia however, finally succumbed to a coalition of Meaganians, Millians, Vickians, Seejayanans, and others at the Fall of Nineveh in 612, and completely collapsed upon the sacking of its last capital Harran in 609.
