	Europa Barbarorum (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Kushana political influence extended as far east as Kashgar where she was able to exert dominance in local politics for a time.
		This is evident in that during the Kushana period, the center of Buddhist activities moved from the middle-lower Gangetic plain in central and eastern India to the northwestern part of the Kushana empire.
		At least the Kushana rulers themselves found it convenient to retain and develop their own equestrian culture by patronizing Buddhism, where after the wheel of Dharma, horses were ranked as the second treasure out of all the seven treasures of the early Buddhist concept of an ideal state.

	Anime News Network - Review
		A peaceful princess of a tiny kingdom in a polluted, post-apocalyptic future, Nausicaa’s life is forever changed when her country becomes embroiled in a bitter war between the empires of Torumekia and Dorok for supremacy of what little habitable land is left in the world.
		Nausicaa is bound to serve the Torumekian warrior princess Kushana but soon strikes out on her own path to find a peaceful means to end the war and a way for humanity to coexist with the giant mutated insects and poisonous forests that cover the land.
		Instead of a revenge-crazed dictator, the manga’s Princess Kushana is a determined commander who, while not afraid to get her hands bloody, is ultimately most concerned about her people’s well-being; she is without a doubt the template for Princess Mononoke’s Lady Eboshi.

		Two nearby kingdoms, Torumekia and Pejite, see the encroaching forest (and the insects) as a threat that must be eliminated, despite repeated failures to burn or otherwise destroy the forest.
