Here are the five districts of Oman: All are Shi’ite and Bedouin and have level 2 forts.

Muscat is the capital of mighty nation. It’s taxbase of 5 is the second d highest in the Peninsula, behind just Mecca itself at 6. Medina has a 4, and there are a few 3s (Tabouk, Asir, Mocha, and Suhar).Muscat is a Important Center of Trade and receives many benefits including better navies and trade. The spice trade is rife here and we make 12.60 ducats in taxes and production. It is next to our province sof Suhar, Nizwa and Dhofar.

Dhofar is southwest of Muscat and along the coast. It is our only border with Yemen’s province of Mahra. The spice trade continues here and with a tax value of 2, it makes 7.32 ducats for us.

Nizswa – The Arid province of Nizwa is island of Muscat and Dhofar, and next to Suhar and the Najd province of Liwa. As an Arid district, it suffers from attrition penalties. It also has a tax power of 2 and spices and thus features 7.32 ducats.

Those three provinces all send trade to the Gulf of Aden trade node. The next two ship it to the Indus one.



Suhar – Along the coast northwest of Muscat is this wool making province. With a tax value of 3, it has the second highest tax base in our area, but the lower value of its trade goods means it gives us just 5.00 ducats. Adjact to Muscat, Nizwa, Najd’s in Liwa, and our last province, Qawasim, Suhar is strategically located to assist more places in Oman than any other, and to strike at Najd.

Qawasim – The little peninsula that creates the south edge of the Persian Gulf is this small province. Next to Liwa, and Beni Yas of Najd’s fame, as well as our own Suhar, it’s a bit exposed. With a tax base of 2, and another set of wool, it clocks in at 3.95 ducats.

We have two merchants out – one gathering money from the Gulf of Aden node and the other siphoning it over there from the Indus one. Yemen is currently the dominant presence in the Aden node.
