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 Omani Empire, also known as the Sultanate of 
Oman, was a powerful maritime empire that emerged in the 17th century and held significant influence in the Indian Ocean region. Its origins can be traced back to the expulsion of the 
Portuguese from coastal areas of Oman in the 16th century. Under the leadership of the Al Said dynasty, the Omani Empire became a major maritime power, dominating trade routes in the Indian Ocean, East Africa, and the Persian Gulf. The empire controlled territories such as 
Zanzibar, which served as a thriving center for trade and the Arab slave trade. However, conflicts with European powers, internal struggles, and economic challenges led to its decline in the 19th century. Today, Oman is an independent nation that has undergone modernization and development, while still cherishing its historical heritage.

The Omani Empire emerged in the 17th century under the leadership of the Al Said dynasty. The empire's expansion was driven by the desire to control maritime trade routes in the Indian Ocean. Omani sailors and traders explored and established trade networks throughout the region, including the Persian Gulf, East Africa, the Red Sea, and the Indian subcontinent. The empire's influence extended to territories such as Zanzibar, Mombasa, and parts of East Africa. In the 19th century, the Omani Empire reached its peak of power and influence. The empire had a significant presence in the Indian Ocean trade, particularly in the lucrative trade of commodities such as spices, frankincense, pearls, and textiles. Zanzibar, under Omani control, became a prosperous center for trade and a hub of the Arab slave trade. The empire's navy was formidable, with a fleet of powerful ships that allowed them to maintain dominance in the region. The Omani Empire faced challenges from European colonial powers, particularly the British and the Portuguese. The British East India Company sought to secure its interests in the region and establish control over trade routes. The empire faced a series of conflicts with the British, including the Omani-British War of 1814-1820. The British eventually established dominance in the region, leading to the decline of Omani influence. The Omani Empire experienced internal power struggles and succession disputes, which weakened its central authority. Additionally, economic challenges, including declining revenues from trade, impacted the empire's stability. The rise of European dominance and the abolition of the slave trade further contributed to its decline. By the late 19th century, the empire had lost control over significant territories, including Zanzibar, which became a separate sultanate under British influence. |

Strategy[]
At the beginning, you want to build 2-3 electronics factories on your most populous cities and sell the electronics you get from there to a rich AI, most likely 
India. Then, justify a war goal on the 
UAE and Yemen. Also, develop your capital and build steel and motor factories in the meantime. Then declare war on the UAE and take everything from them. When the unrest goes down, build tanks on the cities with 1 million population and also build a civilian factory. After this, declare war on Yemen and take everything. You should be able to steamroll the countries you need in Africa.
