-The '''Rarh plain''' stretches between the Chota-Nagpur plateau in the west and the Ganges Delta in the east, encompassing parts of West Bengal, Jharkand and Bihar.  It's a low-lying area, suitable for agriculture, but also boasting lush, moist deciduous forests that possess a diverse wildlife of rhinoceroses, elephants and tigers.  The plain is criss-crossed by several rivers and tributaries, with some areas of dense fens.  The Damodar River, also known as the "Sorrow of Bengal" due to its devastating flooding, is a major river.  Flooding is considerable during the monsoon, with starvation droughts sometimes occurring in the dry season.

 The Hoogli River is a vital waterway in Bhurshut, serving as a crucial route for accommodating large ships, facilitating trade and transportation. However, the river is notorious for its powerful tidal bore, which can surge upstream with heights often exceeding 7 feet. This tidal phenomenon is a significant navigational challenge, especially during the dry season when the difference between low water levels and the high-water mark in the monsoon season can reach up to 20 feet.  Due to this tidal variation, vessels anchored in port may find themselves trapped in the river during low tide, particularly in the dry season. This poses logistical difficulties for loading and unloading cargo, as ships must anchor several hundred yards away from the points of loading, necessitating the use of smaller boats for transportation to and from the vessels.

-The '''Kingdom of Bhurshut''' is an independent swampy realm located in the delta of the Ganges and Brahmaputra rivers, largely surrounded by the Moghul Empire.  The region has a high concentration of local and foreign traders whose commerce is primarily taken with the acquisition of wholesale acquisition of foods, particularly sugarcane and rice.  Bhurshut pays a heavy tribute to the Moghuls but the people enjoy an unmolested existence that's largely free from direct taxes.  The large city of Bardhaman, upon the Rarh plain, serves as a collection point for goods from all over India.  These goods are transported to a several ports on the Hoogli river, most notably Buttor on the eastern bank, where they are loaded aboard ships bound for China, Arab lands and Europe, particularly England.  These ports are also well known for trading with pirates, especially those from Hajipur.
+The '''Kingdom of Bhurshut''' is an independent domain nestled in the marshy expanse of the Ganges and Brahmaputra delta, almost entirely encircled by the Moghul Empire.  Within this region, a bustling hub of both local and foreign traders thrives, primarily engaging in wholesale transactions related to essential commodities like sugarcane and rice.
 The Kingdom covers an area of 32.1 [[20-mile Hex Map|hexes]] and has a population of 690,934.  It borders on [[Mansabdar of Bengal|Bengal]], [[Pirates of Hajipur|Hajipur]], [[Colony of Balasore|Balasore]] and [[Subahdar of Odisha|Odisha]].

-The Rarh plain lies between the Chota-Nagpur plateau on the west and the Ganges Delta on the east.  Moist deciduous forests of sal, [[Acacia|acacia]] and bamboo provide sanctuary for rhinocerouses, elephants and tigers.  The plain is drained by the Damodar river.

 == History ==
-The Kingdom formed within the largely abandoned area of the delta in the early 14th century, as Arabs and other traders began to search inland for foodstuffs.  A monarchy was established in the mid-15th century and was guaranteed autonomy by Akbar the Great in 1583.  Since that time, Bhurshut has expanded into a tremendously wealthy Hindu kingdom able to guarantee it's existence through it's trading value to the Moghuls.
+The Kingdom of Bhurshut traces its origins back to the early 14th century when it emerged in the largely deserted delta region. During this period, Arabs and various other traders began venturing inland in search of essential foodstuffs. It wasn't until the mid-15th century that a monarchy was formally established in Bhurshut, marking a significant milestone in its history. This newfound monarchy gained substantial autonomy when Akbar the Great, a prominent Mughal emperor, granted it official recognition and self-governance in 1583.
