Imagi-Nations that are used in wargames are fictional countries that have been created to provide a setting for battles, campaigns, and wars.

The Imagi-Nations that will be featured in this blog all ‘exist’ during the latter part of the nineteenth and early part of the twentieth centuries, the period usually referred to a ‘La Belle Époque’.

This was a period characterised by general economic prosperity, colonial expansion, and technological and scientific innovation. Amongst the latter two were the development of the motor vehicle, the telephone, early aircraft, and medical advances in the fields of germ theory of disease, bacteriology, and X-ray photography.

The Sultanate of Khakistan

The Sultanate of Khakistan

A history of Khakistan

The Sultanate of Khakistan is all that remains of the once-great Sofaman Empire. The empire had once included Harabia, Sahel, Stalbania, and Zubia, but over recent years these areas have broken away from Sofaman rule, and all that was left is Khakistan, the heartland of the empire.

Although the Sultans have all come from the same ruling family, the title has not always been passed down from father to son. Occasionally a younger brother has succeeded to the throne, usually when the incumbent has proven to be ineffective, an imbecile, or infertile. Government is by decree, and the senior officer of the Sultan's Court – the Vizier – performs the functions of Prime Minister and head of the Civil Servant.

The economy of Khakistan

Agriculture is the backbone of the country's economy, but over recent years heavy and light manufacturing industries have begun to develop, as has mining.

The armed forces of Khakistan

The recent increase in the country's wealth has seen the Khakistani Army undergo a degree of modernisation, with weapons being purchased and instructors recruited from Burgundy and Schwarzenberg . As a result, the country now has a small, modern army.
