There's the Kingdom of Axum(Ethiopia), which did pretty well until the Islamic hordes cut off its trade routes. Apparently they made the mistake of sheltering some of Mohammed's buddies(and, of course, got as much gratitude as he was accustomed to giving); it makes one wonder what would have happened if they'd taken a more hostile position.
