The Northern African regions are part of the Africa super-region. The area is heavily populated although there are more than a handful of uncolonized provinces along its southwestern coast which can be used by the European powers as a stepping stone to get to far lands of the Americas. The area houses the Maghrebi nations in the northwest who cause grief and anguish to the European nations around them due to their ongoing coastal raids. In the northeast can be found the resident super-power, the Flag of Mamluks Mamluks, although they are too busy most of the time with the creeping threat from the north in the form of the Flag of Ottomans Ottomans.

There is an ongoing religious war in the southern parts. In time, the Sunni Islam Sunni nations will mange to push the borders against the Fetishist and Coptic nations in the southwestern and southeastern parts respectively. The question remains whether they'll be able to put their religious abilities to good use, stop the attackers and perhaps even push them back. The Fetishist Fetishist religion is able to better adapt to situations the more it explores the world with each new faith providing a different cult with a different bonus. The cooperative Coptic.png Coptic religion starts with two of its bonuses in the bag from the get-go with one holy site already in Coptic hands and another in the process.

The break-down of the Northern African regions is as follows:

Government types

  • Government monarchy.png Monarchy government forms in the northern and eastern parts (mainly Iqta and Autocracy).
  • Government tribal.png Tribal government forms in the central and western parts (mostly Tribal Despotism and Tribal Monarchy).
  • The occasional Government theocracy.png Clerical State can be found sporadically.

Religions

  • Sunni Islam Sunni is the dominant religion in these parts (with the occasional Ibadi Islam Ibadi and Shiite Islam Shia).
  • Coptic.png Coptic in the eastern part (along with the only two Jewish.png Jewish provinces in the game).
  • Fetishist Fetishist in the southern parts.

Technology groups

  • Muslim technology group Muslim in the northern part (mostly).
  • East African technology group East African in the eastern part.
  • West African technology group West African in the central and western parts.

Culture groups

  • Maghrebi and Levantine in the northern part.
  • Cushitic and Sudanese in the eastern part.
  • Mande, Sahelian and West African in the central and western parts.

Notes: These articles refer to the state of the world at the start of the grand-campaign (1444-11-11); meaning, if a nation is picked in other time points it may have different attributes. Table listings include: [1] 1444 starting nations, [2] 1444 releasable nations. Other tags, [3] later start/pure formables/revolters ("wild card" stats), are mentioned at the top. Worth noting, [4] a nation is assigned a home region based on its capital's location, [5] location names use the default localisation for consistency reasons (for searching in-game enter the provided province numbers).

Worth noting, [4] a nation is assigned a home region based on its capital's location, [5] location names use the default localisation for consistency reasons (for searching in-game enter the provided province numbers).
