Aurora:Egypt: Difference between revisions

Particularly Egypt became increasingly isolationistic, rejecting offers to join any other alliances in Africa or the Middle East (except for the Caliphate), this was done under the principle that the focus should solely be on reversing the decline and on favoring practical reasoning over external reasoning e.g., matters that have no practical effect on in-game progress. Egypt did not get involved in any affairs outside of Egypt, most notably the numerous wars and interventions that occurred in the Middle East surrounding [[Kushan]] and the Sassanid Empire. Lumpeeh introduced some reforms to the banking system, the recruitment system, and the Egyptian Government, but elections were suspended and are still so presently. Through sustained growth and expansion, Egypt was able to slowly reverse the decline that had been caused by inactivity, by early October Egypt was at around sixty-plus residents, one thousand chunks, and was at around fifteen towns.  

The Israeli towns within Egypt slowly began to fall one by one, most notable was the fall of Israeli Alexandria and the restoration of Egyptian Alexandria under Neffeeh, marking the end of Israeli presence and control over the Nile Delta. During this time, the Caliphate was formed, an alliance between Egypt and [[Turkey (Aurora)|Turkey]], this was the first diplomatic action taken under Lumpeeh since August. However, the policy of isolationism and the heavy emphasis on reversing the decline proved to be highly effective, Egypt was not entangled with outside affairs meaning that it could primarily focus on resolving its internal issues which it was able to do, by now Egypt had completely reversed its decline. The downside to this is that Egypt was isolated in the region, combined with the older generation of nations within the region falling or going inactive made this situation far more drastic, though this was resolved in late January. Egypt’s overall stats had significantly shifted since August and surpassed pre-decline Egypt, by mid-January Egypt had achieved over two thousand claimed chunks, around one hundred and forty residents, and had twenty-five towns, a tremendous transformation from a declining nation to an actively growing nation.
