Diplomacy

Kokand doesn't start in a great power's sphere of influence.

Kokand starts with positive relations (between 10 and 35) to Khiva, Bukkhara, Afghanistan, Kalat, Makran, The Ottoman Empire, Persia, Xinjiang, Yemen, Tunis, Tripoli, Sokotho, Sindh, Qinghai, Nejd, Morocco, Kutch, Johore, Hyderabad, Hedjaz, Egypt, Brunei, Atjeh and Algeria.

Military

Kokand starts with 6 brigades out of 6 possible brigades in 2 armies:

1st Army of the Khanate of Kokand: consisting of 3 brigades totalling 9.000 troops, all infantry, located in Kokand, with no leader.
2nd Army of the Khanate of Kokand: consisting of 3 brigades totalling 9.000 troops, all infantry, located in Khorug, with no leader.

Strategy

Early in the game one should use national focus to promote clergymen, as the literacy rate of Kokand is atrocious.

Annexing Khiva and Bukkhara is key, as they have more of Kokands primary culture POPs and they give research points. Both can be annexed outright with the annex casus belli. Afghanistan will most likely attack Bukkhara as they have a core on one of their provinces. One might be able to time the attack so that Bukkhara has lost all of its troops, making for an extraordinarily easy war. When Bukkhara is annexed, Khiva should be no problem to annex.

Russia will most likely attack Kokand with a demand concession casus belli. There is nothing one can do to withstand the Russian troops, and the best idea is likely to give up as soon as they attack, in order not to lose troops in a futile war.

After having annexed Khiva and Bukkhara, there are several ways to proceed. Attacking Panjab, Afghanistan or Persia might be possible, if they are in a temporary weak spot. Xinjiang is also possible, if there has been a revolution in China and Xinjiang has thus broken free from being a substate. It might later pose problems though, as China has cores on Xinjiang.
