An Overview of the Jerusalemite Kingdom - AAR

[Xionsi]

This is my first attempt at an After Action Report (that's purely after), with a save that I had a lot of fun on as The Knights.
I'm planning it to be a brief fictional overview of mah Kingdom of Jerusalem, not necessarily in-character and a significant amount (probably most) of details in it will be made up and fun implausible alternate history.
Inspiration taken from The Heart of Africa: A Visitor's Guide to Modern Ethiopia which is a really good read.
Depending if anyone likes the one or two I post then I'll update - just a warning that writing (creative or not) isn't my strong suit.

The mods I used during the game was the 1399 Mini-Mod on the Workshop and Mundus Non Sufficit.
The difficulty setting was on normal.

Geography -
Spanning the harsh Anatolian coastline, the rolling hills of the Levant, the grasslands of the Nile Delta, the unforgiving Arabian deserts and the towering mountains of Persia; from the Aegean Sea to Bab El Mandeb; from the tribes of Nuba to the highlanders of Kopet Dag - Jerusalem stretches far and wide. The Kingdom of Jerusalem is truly the pinnacle of geographical diversity and imperial might. Among the successes of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, the effective governance of foreign lands is of the greatest. Ever since the reign of King Henry III and his expansion into Egypt, several administrative regions were developed resembling the structure in which the Knights Hospitaller (the predecessor of the Kingdom of Jerusalem) would govern its crusading forces (the so called ‘Tongues’). These regions would constitute a particular peoples or geographical subgrouping, originally only constituting the Western European assortment of settlers in the region of Palestine and the newly converted Egyptian Arabs. Despite the significantly larger expanse and some variations in the geographical divisions of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, the successful governing system still stands and refers to each region as an individual ‘nation’ under the absolute rule of the King of Jerusalem.

Below are the six ‘nations’ within the Kingdom of Jerusalem with name variations in English, Latin and French:

• Israel, Palestine/Terrae Sanctae, Palaestina/Palestine
• Egypt/Aegyptus/Égypte
• Arabia/Arabia/Arabie
• Ethiopia/Aethiopia, Africa/Ethiopie
• Turkey/Anatolia/Anatolie
• Persia/Parthia, Persia/Perse
