Kingdom of Arakan

The Kingdom of Arakan, sometimes called the Kingdom of Mrauk Oo, is a coastal entity located along the eastern side of the Bay of Bengal, extending southwards from the delta of the Brahmaputra for about 350 miles. The Arakan Mountain separate the kingdom from central Burma. The kingdom is a multi-ethnic centre of multiple religions, notably Hindu, Buddhism and Islam. The wild and heavily jungled coastline has served as a haven for pirates and those engaged in the slave trade. The region is regularly visited by Arab, Dutch, Danish and Portuguese traders.

The Kingdom covers an area of 73.8 hexes and has a population of 2,494,662. It borders on Bengal, Tripura, Mizoram, Kalay, Pagan, Bago and Ayeyarwady.

The Kingdom is divided into two sultanates, that of Chittagong and Mrauk Oo.
