The Abyssinia Empire is fully investing itself in the embrace of East Africa on cultural and social levels. Although there are slight differences due to religion and other factors, Abyssinia appears more agreeable to East Africa compared to other countries in the region.
North Africa is entirely an Arab cultural region. By contrast, Abyssinia's mainstream religion is also a branch of Christianity. However, after years of turmoil, the country is destined not to become a great power or even a regional powerhouse.
Firstly, it lacks a coastline. Secondly, its territory is small, with a population that would only be considered medium-sized even in Europe. Thirdly, the country is scarce in natural resources.
