Erappa

Erappa has been allowed to maintain some of its independence from Assuria, primarily because it serves as a point of attack and defense against the barbaric Kouthian tribes in the nearby Zakros Mountains. It has a standing army of 5,000 troops and sends strong patrols through the foothills in its area to push back on any encroachments by the Kouthians. The other value of Erappa is that its people raise fine horses, many of which it sends in tribute to the Assurian Empire.
