Ethiopian Levant

Summary
The Ethiopian Levant is an African Empire that claims to be able to trace its roots all the way back to Abraham. Founded by Solomon II and the Queen of Sheba, The Levant has been active as a political entity off and on again on the world stage, interacting with Empires when they get close, and closing off again once their sovereignty is secure.

History
In 1034 Solomon the Second and the Queen of Sheba travelled to the lands of Ethiopia on the command of Solomon the Wise of Isreal. Per instructions, the son set up his kingdom there, as a new home for the people of the Covenant, away from such perils as the Babaloynians and other hungry Middle Eastern powers

Much of their history is a mystery to Europeans, whom until recently thought the empire to be a myth, lost to time after the fall of the Roman and Byzantine empires.

Leadership
The Levnant is as much a Theological Monarchy as any of the European empires, however being of a different faith, in addition to their dark skin, the Levant is hardly considered a legitimate rival by the four empires In an unbroken line of succession since Solomon II, the new leige, Solomon XIII, has had no small amount of discord in his rule, suffering assassination attempts repeatedly in his 30 year reign.
