Hello. I’m here to advocate for the implementation of an independent 3-province Assyrian tribal nation in the game.Historically, the Assyrian tribes of the Hakkari foothills remained independent until an Ottoman-Kurdish campaign subdued their self-governance and largely decimated their numbers during the mid-19th century. The Assyrians lived in small, isolated villages and practiced pastoralism, preserving their culture and Christian faith. They interacted with the Kurdish principalities and later with Ottoman governors as independent actors rather than subjects, and were recognized and treated as independent, at least by their Kurdish neighbours.This territory, though somewhat small, was homogenous, and it is beyond a doubt that the Assyrians were the dominant cultural, political and religious force in their tribal lands. Of course, Assyrians were distributed all over Mesopotamia and Eastern Anatolia, but only at the base of the Hakkari Mountains did they congregate in any self-governing ethnic majority.What I’m proposing is not only completely historical and well documented, but also an interesting and long-requested feature to play as the remnants of the Assyrians, and the addition of another independent state in Mesopotamia can only make it even more fun.The strongest tribe among the Assyrians was the Nochiyaye (meaning “the metropolitan’s tribe”), after whom I propose this 3-province tribal nation take its name. The independent Assyrian tribes governed themselves in a pseudo-theocratic manner, largely being ruled by their priests, so perhaps some theocratic form of government would be suitable if not for a tribal government?1.)
