State | Defunct
1200 CE to 1350 CE
The Kingdom of Jolof is a West African rump state located in what is today the nation of Senegal.
For nearly two hundred years, the Serer rulers of the Jolof Empire collect tribute from vassal kings states who voluntarily agree to the confederacy.
At the Battle of Danki, the Buurba Jolof is defeated by the lord of Kayor, resulting in the rapid disintegration of the empire.
Jolof survives as a meager state, unable to prosper from the Atlantic trade between its former vassal territories and the Portuguese.
