The Kushan Empire is a formable located near Central Asia 
It is an exclusive formable, meaning after you form this, you cannot form the 
Hephthalite Empire as 
Tajikistan.
Background[]
The following is taken from Wikipedia which is licensed under CC-BY-SA 4.0. You can view the article it was taken from here.
The Kushan Empire was a powerful empire that existed in Central Asia and northern South Asia from the 1st century CE to the 3rd century CE. The empire emerged from the Yuezhi, a confederation of nomadic tribes from the region around modern-day Xinjiang in China. The Kushans established their capital at Peshawar in present-day Pakistan and expanded their territory to encompass parts of modern-day Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, and Central Asia.

The Kushan Empire was known for its military might, as well as its cultural and economic achievements. The Kushans were great patrons of the arts, and their empire was home to a rich and diverse mix of cultures, including Greek, Persian, Indian, and Central Asian. Under the Kushan Empire, Buddhism spread throughout Central Asia and northern South Asia, and the empire played an important role in the transmission of Buddhist ideas and art from India to China. The Kushans also played an important role in the development of the Silk Road, a network of trade routes that connected China, Central Asia, and the Mediterranean world. The empire declined in the 3rd century CE, and its former territories were eventually absorbed into other empires and kingdoms in the region. |
Economy and Manpower[]
The Kushan Empire has a base income of $3,444,547 and a manpower capacity of 1,292,568.
Strategy[]
Playing as 
Afghanistan[]
Afghanistan is the easiest country to form this country due to it having double the times more troops than Tajikistan. The first thing you want to do is make factories (you can make whichever you want) and sell them to other AI nations. After that, prepare 100K troops to take over Central Asia . Start with Tajikistan, because it's one of the weakest and close to you. After that, keep taking countries in this order: 
Kyrgyzstan -> 
Uzbekistan -> 
Turkmenistan. After that, sell a LOT of resources you made during that time (assuming it's around 2022) and destroy 
Pakistan. If the country is AI, take them with 2-300K troops. If it's a player, take it with 300K-500K troops. Take Islamabad first, and after that the big cities and troops, wait for entrenchment to kick in, and then form lines to destroy the southern cities. Congrats! You have formed the Kushan Empire!
Playing as Tajikistan[]
Immediately make 2 electronic factories and sell them all, you need the income. Start justifying on Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, then Turkmenistan. Declare war and use AI Luring to defeat the home guard, then capture all 3. It is recommended to upgraded troop speed because it is Mountainous. It is also a good idea to form alliances with 
Russia, 
China, and 
India. Make steel and motor factories and make tanks using your plentiful resources. Justify on Afghanistan and Pakistan. Send your troops to Mazar-e-sharif so they can entrench. Specialize your tanks in Arid and take over Afghanistan. Pakistan might be stronger than you still, so it is a good idea to make a deal with India or China to speed things up. After you take Pakistan congratulations!
Geography[]
Terrain[]
The terrain of the Kushan Empire is very rugged. South Western Pakistan isHilly. Almost the entire rest of the countries mentioned along with the western halves of Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan (not including their panahandles) and South Western Afghanistan are Semi-Mountainous. The northern tip of Pakistan, Feyzabad (in Afghanistan) and the area north, south, and east of it, and the eastern halves of Tajikistan and all of Kyrgyzstan are Mountainous. The areas not mentioned, being all of Turkmenistan and most of Uzbekistan are flat.
Biome[]
The most abundant biome of the Kushan Empire is Arid. The only lands that aren't Arid is Feyzabad (in Afghanistan) and the area north, south, and east of it, Tajikistan, everything east of Tashkent, Uzbekistan, and Kyrgyzstan which are all in the normal biome.
Cities[]
The Kushan Empire has 138 cities. If you form it as Afghanistan, its capital is Kabul. If you do it as Tajikistan, Dushanbe is the capital instead. Its largest city is Karachi for Pakistan.
Threats[]
- India could conquer Afghanistan and Pakistan to form the Maurya Empire.
- Iran invading Afghanistan and Turkmenistan to form the Khwarazmian Dynasty, they also need Pakistan for the Persian Empire.
- China or Manchuria expanding into Kyrgyzstan for the Qing Dynasty.
- Any Central Asian country trying to form Turkestan or any other formable they have.
- Russia conquering Central Asia for the Soviet Union or the Russian Empire.
- Any Islamic nation wanting to form Islamic Caliphate taking Pakistan and Afghanistan.
Trivia[]
- Tajikistan players used to be able to use this for free stability as the Hephthalite Empire had the exact same requirements as this. That doesn't exist anymore as it is now an exclusive formable.
