Where it sits in time

Five thousand years, 3000 BCE to 2026; the state in gold.

Rulers

Read from the state’s own English article and its rulers’ articles, where Wikidata names no ruler.

3 rulers, 3 with terms dated as terms, covering 1750 – 1943. Median reign 58 years. 0 of 2 handovers irregular - a killing, a deposition, a rival claimant, a rising or a coup beside it. A blank in the last column means no kin on record, which is coverage, never “unrelated”.

Each symbol with the years its own statement gives; the timeline flies the one of the year on screen.

Among all states

What led to it, and what came of it

The investigation's own picture: 2 causes the record names and 0 results, the strongest six of each at their own years, joined to the state by the kind of claim - a recorded statement solid, the article's sentence dashed, a theory dash-dot.

Open the investigation: every row with its evidence, the conditions at the time, the theories condition by condition, and the succession analysed.

Theories that apply to its ending

Of 3 theories of why states fall, 1 has every condition present at this ending; each is applied by its own logic, condition by condition, and whether its authors named this case is a footnote.

• Dynastic cycle and the decay of group feeling

  Applies by its own logic: the condition it names held here, and this is the kind of outcome it predicts — adverse regime change or the state's ending.
