Overview
The Barbary States lie on the coast of northern Africa and are one of the two Ottoman protectorates (along with the Crimean Khanate). They are infamous for raiding foreign ships and trade routes in the whole Mediterranean and are at war with most nations. Their relations with the Ottomans are good and the alliance between the two countries is stable, although when reduced to one region the barbary States will sometimes become the protectorate of another nation.
It is generally unecessary to take the fight to the Barbary States; what money they pilfer is usually insignificant and they're hard to reach for many nations (excluding the ones with a coast in the Mediterranean) and the A.I hunts down Barbary ships with extreme prejudice. However, invading the Barbary States acts as a sound precursor for the invasion of the Ottoman Empire or vice versa.
