YOUTUBE STREET INTERVIEWS, ZAIRE PART 1

“What Do Native Zaireans Think of White Zaireans?”

Chris Kambala was a 25 year old Youtuber in Zaire with 205k subscribers on his channel. He was known for filming unrehearsed street interviews on interesting topics that shed light on the mindset & views of different groups of Zairean people...

[list]Chris, Youtuber: And today guys weÂ’re back with another street interview on the streets of Kinshasa, the capital of Zaire. They call this city the Beating Drum of the Nation & today, I want to find out what native Zaireans think of the White Zairean minority of the country. LetÂ’s gooo~~!

Chris approached a group of teenage boys.

Chris, Youtuber: Can I get your names?

“Louis”, “Nzanga”, “Mulombo”

Chris, Youtuber: Okay boys, hereÂ’s my question. What do you think of White Zaireans?

Louis: I guess iÂ’ll startÂ… I think theyÂ’re alright. I have some classmates at my high school who are white, their grandparents are from Belgium. But they speak fluent Swahili & Lingala as well as French.

Mulombo: Yeah, IÂ’m cool with white Zaireans as long as they are the ones that integrate in our society. Like making an effort to speak our native languages fluently & also learning about our history before colonisation. If they donÂ’t do this, then I think they are imposters and should get OUT of the country.

Chris, Youtuber: Why shouldnÂ’t they just be accepted regardless of if they speak a native language? What if they canÂ’t speak a native language but they were born here and lived here all their lives?

Nzanga: Well for me I donÂ’t think thatÂ’s an excuse. It shows you respect our land when you learn our peoplesÂ’ language. ItÂ’s not enough to just speak the official language of French.

Chris, Youtuber: Alright thanks boysÂ… alrightÂ… who to approach next, aha!

Chris walked up to an old lady and her granddaughter.

“Oh my god, is this for Youtube?”

Chris, Youtuber: Yes it is young ladyÂ… can I get your names please?

“Marine”, “Jolie”

Chris, Youtuber: Marine, JolieÂ… what is your opinion of white Zaireans?

Marine: Oop, thatÂ’s a loaded question. Grandma you go firstÂ… hahaÂ

Jolie: Okay well, IÂ’m 60 years old. I was born in 1965, by the time I was a teenager during the Belgian colonial times we had a lot of racial equality laws passed & segregation was over since 1960. But even so, before we got independence in 1980, white Zaireans still got special treatment over native Zaireans.

Chris, Youtuber: I see, so whatÂ’s your conclusion having witnessed certain unfairness in your lifetime?

Jolie: Well over the years, I have noticed that white Zaireans & native Zaireans can definitely live in harmony as long as they donÂ’t receive any special treatment. Mobutu made this happen, he ended the special treatment they got for good in the 90s. Now they work hard like anyone else to make a living.

Marine: IÂ’m much younger, I was born in 2010. IÂ’m 15. IÂ’ve never witnessed any white Zairean be racist or act rude, but iÂ’ve seen it sometimes on viral videos on social media. I learnt about how they used to be in history class, but I was watching the news for my homework & President Bemba said that white Zaireans helped build Zaire too. So I think theyÂ’re equal to us.

Chris, Youtuber: Okay, so iÂ’m just gonna throw this question out there to your grandmaÂ… Jolie, when your granddaughter reaches 20 years old and its time for her to start looking for a husband, would you let her marry a white Zairean?

Jolie: OhÂ… o-oh no, not possible. I think that it is important that we preserve our culture.

Marine: But what if he embraces our native culture?

Jolie: Oh, that would be a very complicated matter. I love all Zaireans but I think we should preserve our identity and they should preserve theres. They are Zairean too but in their own unique way, mixing isnÂ’t something I am fond of.

Chris, Youtuber: What do you think of that answer Marine?

Marine: My grandmaÂ’s old fashioned, nowadays, people date outside of their tribe too and also iÂ’ve seen some native Zaireans with white Zaireans. People donÂ’t care about that division stuff anymore at my age.

Chris, Youtuber: Why are you young people so open-minded when it comes to white Zaireans compared to the older generations?

Marine: Because for us, we are all Zaireans and so that makes us equally superior to everyone else whoÂ’s not. So we should stop arguing amongst each other and focus on protecting our country against ignorant foreigners.

Chris, Youtuber: Thank you for your answer. [/list]

Chris would walk away from them and turn to the camera.

Chris, Youtuber: So there you have it guys, what native Zaireans think of white Zaireans. If you liked the video, give it thumbs up, comment and subscribe! IÂ’ll be back with more street interviews soon. Peace!

[sub]K-POP VS. J-POP? JAPAN GOVERNMENT SHOWS INTENTIONS TO EXPAND WORLDWIDE KNOWLEDGE ABOUT JAPANESE POP MUSIC.[/sub]

| The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, known as MEXT, has officially announced that it will have the help of the main J-POP bands to represent the Empire of Japan in the world, with the aim of expanding the knowledge that the world has about Japan in the music area, leaving little aside the ‘manga culture’ and focusing more on the Japanese music area, which is exactly J-POP.

THE JAPAN TIMES [sub]J-POP/Music[/sub]

[sub]2025, THE YEAR OF J-POP.[/sub]

| We saw the Japanese Government encouraging all J-POP bands to represent Japan, expanding and focusing more on the Japanese music industry. This will be J-POP's chance to side with K-POP when it comes to Asian pop music. Many J-POP bands, including ONE NÂ’ ONLY, appreciated MEXT's initiative and pointed out that all members of ONE NÂ’ ONLY will be the first to collaborate with the Japanese Government to fulfill the goal of making J-POP heard by more nations around the world. |

[sub]UNEXPECTED INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF J-POP FANS IN JAPAN.[/sub]

| The Empire of Japan really is in a new era. According to surveys, the number of J-POP fans has practically doubled compared to last year, a week after the Japanese Government's announcement of officializing the new representation of Japan in the world that are the current Japanese POP bands. The bands definitely had to increase the number of concerts across the country along with the increase in albums produced by the bands and the schedule of Japanese agencies becoming full. |

[sub]J-POP WILL IMPACT EVEN MORE IN THE WORLD SOON.[/sub]

| With the increase of J-POP fans in Japan, the expectation is that the same will happen in the world with a focus mainly on the USP and Europe (Germany, France, Spain, Roman Federation, among others). The Government of Japan is funding government commercials with Japanese pop bands, with the aim of putting into practice the representation of Japan by J-POP. |

[sub]ONE NÂ’ ONLY BECOMES THE FIRST MOST LISTENED BAND IN JAPAN.[/sub]

| Just as BTS is the most popular in Korea, ONE NÂ’ ONLY became the most famous band in the Empire of Japan on the day that Japan saw a huge increase in the number of J-POP fans. If this continues, J-POP will become even more popular in the world, representing Japan in the music world. |

| KINGDOM OF SPAIN |

| GOBIERNO IMPERIAL DE ESPAÑA |

[list]| September, 1974 |[/list]

______________

Franco's Legacy, Part 1: For the Greater Good

| The wooden ceiling fan creaked as it slowly spun clockwise over the office of the most powerful man in Spain. The wood-paneled walls had faded in color and quality, and the paintings of former Spanish leaders, conquistadors, and kings and queens sat idle, as if they were silently staring at the old and weakening man who led Spain. Francisco Franco was a Spanish Civil War hero, the general who had led the Nationalists to victory, overpowering the government in Madrid. What followed was almost forty years of oppression, authoritarianism, and one-man rule in the country. Under his rule, what many called the Spanish miracle occurred, bringing stable economic growth and mild prosperity to the Spanish economy. The effects of this economic boom, which began in 1959, was beginning to fade by the mid-seventies. Although he knew he would be remembered forever as a Spanish tyrant who stood the test of the Cold War and the dueling of two rival superpowers, who could be no more different in ideology and beliefs. He was more or less usually credited for the stable economic growth in past decades, but some still doubted that. The old leader knew his health was deteriorating. Two months ago, in July 1974, he had fallen ill and was forced to assign Juan Carlos, a dethroned Spanish royal, as head of state until his recovery a few days ago. Although his legacy was more or less cemented, he was still above all a Spanish nationalist, who wanted to expand and empower his nation beyond his wildest dreams. |

| In the 1950s, with the rise of African nationalism and pro-independence movements, Spain was increasingly under pressure to grant independence to her African colonies, mainly Morocco and Equatorial Guinea. Morocco slowly but surely trudged towards independence, and Spain ceded Spanish Morocco to Morocco in 1956. However, a circle of Franco's closest allies and advisors in the Spanish government realized the losses in terms of land, population, and natural resources that could be incurred by the surrender of or the granting of independence of all Spanish colonies, particularly in Africa. With Equatorial Guinea now the only Spanish colonial possession left in practically the entire world, forces within the Spanish government apparatus - mostly military commanders and colonial administrative officers - began moving to ensure that Spain's sole overseas colonial possession remained under Spanish control. |

| By now, it was widely known that the major opposition force to Spain's keeping of Equatorial Guinea was the United Nations. In an effort to speed up decolonization in Africa, the UN had issued orders for nations to withdraw from their various African possessions and grant full independence. One of the rare exceptions to this was Zaire Bomoko, who had agreed to remain under Belgian rule until the 1980s so as to ensure the nation was truly ready for independence. By the mid-seventies, it was obvious that Zaire would grow to become a prosperous African economic powerhouse. With modern infrastructure, railways, roads, established educational systems and more, the country had seriously benefited from Belgian rule, and the Spanish officials who was interested in keeping Equatorial Guinea decided to use this as their argument. Another thing that was well-known was that Franco was a self-leading dictator, who more or less ignored the advice of his closest allies. This led to some good but mostly bad times for Spanish civilians, most of whom had suffered under Franco's regime. However, these Francoist allies did their best - and succeeded - in instilling into their leader a seed of an idea that could secure Spain Equatorial Guinea for the foreseeable future. |

| With UN pressure on Spain to release Equatorial Guinea mounting, Franco launched his diplomatic counterattack. In the months between September 1974 and October 1975, Franco and the Spanish government argued strongly against the United Nations. The main example used by these diplomats and politicians was Zaire, who was growing into an African economic powerhouse thanks to proper colonial rule. The local Spanish administration in Equatorial Guinea dispatched a few representatives to the UN to argue their point. According to a lengthy document released by Spain's foreign ministry, the Spanish government would be more than willing to modify the way in which Equatorial Guinea was ruled, mainly through the introduction of generous autonomy and the possibility of limited home rule. Economic growth and international trade in Equatorial Guinea would be greatly supplemented and even hastened by Spanish presence in the area. It would be easier for Spanish investors and businesses to settle in Equatorial Guinea if it was a Spanish autonomous department, with a locally elected and locally sourced autonomous government and even a legislative assembly. In response to renewed nationalistic sentiment in the colony, Franco, with a reluctant green light from his doctors, visited the colony and re-assured the peoples of Equatorial Guinea that the 'will of the people will be recognized' and that 'Spain will continue to nourish Equatorial Guinea'. Whether or not the visit was a success was yet to be known, as some small pro-independence guerilla groups began popping up in a disorganized attempt to remove the Spanish authorities. |

| In the coastal town of Mbini on the African coast, on the 24th of February, 1975, pro-independence guerilla forces enter a shootout with Spanish authorities, resulting in five civilian deaths, three of whom were Spanish nationals. This incident sparked widespread outrage against the nationalists, both in mainland Spain and in Equatorial Guinea, since two of the civilians who were killed in the firefight were Equatorial Guinean civilians. Nationalist and pro-independence movements in the area suffered drastically from the incident, and popularity for autonomy and local home rule while remaining under Spanish sovereignty began to rise after Franco pledged to find the shooters and bring them to justice. Due to the turning of public opinion against them, nationalist groups resorted to extortion and other violent means to secure food, supplies, and ammunition to continue fending off Spanish authorities attempting to hunt them down. In March and April of 1975, three more shootouts between nationalists and the Spanish authorities resulted in the deaths of two more Spanish nationals, a Spanish police officer, and four Equatorial Guinean police officers. These shootouts once more severely turned public opinion sharply against the pro-independence movements, who were accumulating a reputation of extreme corruption, excessive amounts of violence and executions, and extortion of villages near Niefang and Mikomeseng. |

| With UN pressure ramping down a little, Franco formally announced the deployment of 5,000 troops of the Spanish Army to Equatorial Guinea to officially arrest the revolutionaries and bring them to justice, but unofficially the troops were ordered to ensure the continuation of Spanish sovereignty over the area. These troops would depart the mainland aboard a force of four Baleares-class frigates, a Canarias-class cruiser, and the flagship of the Spanish Navy, the light aircraft carrier Dédalo. |

Emperor meets President

16th of May, 2025: General Mobutu Airport, Zaire

| Arriving at the airport was a major stepping stone for Grand Emperor Xerxes, as this would be the first time he has ever stepped foot in the neighboring Afrikan country of Zaire. Dressed in his formal military uniform and a leopard skinned cape to go along with the dark beige uniform, Xerxes steps from his private charter jet, looking regal as his title allows him to be. Having served in conflicts in the late 90's, Xerxes has earned all of the combat accommodations that can be seen on his uniform, instead of wearing a form of royal headwear, he has stuck to the tradition of his people of being particularly practical and is wearing a officers cape with his rank notated by the embroidered patch of four stars surrounding a lions head. Despite appearing emotionless and passive, Xerxes is actually thrilled to be in Zaire as he hopes it will bring about more trade and relations amongst their peoples, as South Afrika has been fighting its own war against insurgents by itself for the past year. |

Zaire Bomoko

[sub]South Africa was known to Zaire. During the later days of Belgian colonial era during the 60s & 70s, the colonial army had sent thousands of Zairean troops to fight communist insurgents across the African continent and many times these troops wouldÂ’ve fought with South African soldiers The Confederate Prussian Empire. It was the Zairean troops that fought during this era that brought back news of South Africa being a powerful country where whites & blacks lived together, and a reputation of having the most brutal army in the world spread in the country. To this day, the Lingala word for South Africa is Terra Mukumbu (Land of Gorillas), gorillas in Zaire are a symbol of ferocity and strength.[/sub]

[sub]The newly elected president, Jean-Pierre Bemba took this diplomatic meeting as a great time to make a controversial statement to Zaireans about how serious the Traditional Revivalist Party was about his policies. Instead of giving Emperor Xerxes the standard European/modern welcome with a red carpet and soldiers, President Bemba had arranged a traditional African welcome, particularly the one that the ancestors of Zaireans wouldÂ’ve given to their own kings hundreds of years ago:[/sub]

[list]2,000 men were gathered at the airport and beat powerful rhythms into their drums, chanting “Xerxes! Wumela! (Lingala for Live Forever, a term of praise for leaders)”. These men wore modern Zairean dashikis & kaftans. Some of these men were infact white Zaireans.

Alongside this men whoÂ’s drums and chants filled the air like thunder, were 1000 women who dressed in a traditional attire similar to Hawaiian hula dancers. They were rose bearers & carried baskets of petals and as Xerxes walked by them, they threw the petals in the air around him, causing them to descend in a rain of red & confetti that looked marvellous to watch. It was truly a regal welcome.

Being held on a palanquin by several men was President Bemba, who was carried all the way to the transport vehicles and laid down in front of Xerxes. He wore a black and gold luxurious dashiki and smiled once Xerxes arrived at him.

| President Bemba | Your MajestyÂ… welcome to Zaire. The Heart of Africa. It is truly an honour.[/list]

The previous person who roleplayed as Malaysia was invaded by the previous person who played Japan. We have alternate histories here so things donÂ’t always follow the real life timeline of events.

In this timeline, Japan invaded Malaysia & kept Borneo. To get Borneo back, youÂ’d have to make a military factbook, TG Paramountica who plays America or Victoria Harbor who plays Russia, or Peking Zhongguo who plays China.

From them you could “buy” some good quality weapons and then go to war with Japanese Borneo, to free the country from Japanese rule.

[list]Once they were in the limousine it would drive off surrounded by a motorcade to a boulevard leading to the PresidentÂ’s Palace. On either side of the boulevard were barricades & crowds of thousands of people cheering, whistling and waving Zairean flags.

Bemba smirked as he looked out the window and saw the crowds. He was the complete opposite of Xerxes. He was eccentric & revelled in flattery. Unlike the modest & stoic Xerxes, Bemba wore every emotion on his sleeve and loved getting attention.

He would then turn to Xerxes and raise a brow.[/list]

| President Bemba: | If iÂ’m not mistaken, Xerxes was a Persian emperor of old. How then, did you come to find yourself with such a name? Is it not the case in Terra Mukumbu that the people are named either in a British, German or Dutch fashion?

Episode 3 - What a stupid name for a boat

Episode 4 - Our cause is right

EPISODE 5 - Hofferer

After an unsuccessful investigation at the port, Captain Hofferer decided to take things the hard way and head to an area that was known for high military presence and packed enough to not appear suspicious. At first, Federika didnÂ’t know what her superior officer meant until she was asked to get drinks with him.

The red light district of Colon was something to be witnessed by anyone who visited the Panama area of Central America. It was full of military personnel drunk, holding their buddies as they try to find their way home, or spewing vomit after too many beers or tequila. Must beyond the alcohol was the immense circle of strip clubs and other adventures a man could ask for.

Christoph and Federika arrived just around 11pm in what seemed to be a parallel world. Their attitude did not fit in the area. “We look like tourists” said Christoph while walking and observing. The agents stopped at a crossing wondering where to go next. Just as they were about to move forward, a female voice approached them.

- Hey guys, is there something i can help you with ? You seem very lost. Or maybe looking for someone ?

Both agents looked at each other. They knew what they though : this could be a good approach. But it could also be a trap. Maybe both agents had been already discovered and they knew nothing about it. Christoph still replied in character insisting on his german accent :

- Ach ja, we were just very curious about the red district ja

The woman did not seemed very convinced. Her years of experience allowed to make a difference between the real tourist, and the military officer, or the journalist, or perhaps, the foreign agent. She got closer to him in such a flirty way Federika stepped backwards. Christopher didnÂ’t move and only move his head back.

- If you pay me... i could help you...

Now this was a double pun that he understood, although he was only interested in half of its meaning.

- Fine fine. But I guess we have to go somewhere

- Well of course nino, meet me in 30 minutes at the Bar El Patio

With a smile on her face and a kiss she left leaving Christopher baffled and Federika bewildered. She wasnÂ’t however sure if following her was a good idea but after all there werenÂ’t many leads. Asking more and more questions to a high number of people could raise suspicion. But if it was a trap, it was already too late to avoid it. They had to play game and see what happens. There were was nothing on them to show any evidence of what their job was.

The Bar El Patio was like many bars in the red light district, small, discrete, and clearly the curtains at the back were not meant for changing clothes in between skits. The girls inside were extremely beautiful, so much Hofferer actually looked at one before Federika called him back “come on Christopher, I expected more from you”. He ignored her comment as to pretend he didn’t look.

The woman came out with less clothes than on their first meeting. Escorting the agents to a table, she holds the German man by the arm before he even sat down and with a sensual yet firm tone took him away with a “you are coming with me”. Federika was worried. She stood up and saw Christopher using hand signs to saying “15 mn - or go”.

They went behind the curtain as she danced for him. But the tone was not what he expected.

- Pantera?

- What?

- Do you work for Pantera?

- No.

- CIA?

- No no. Nothing like that. IÂ’m just doing police work about some military people

- Oh there a lot of them. They are took drunk to say anything interesting. But there is a bar where high officers meet. La Sierra Azul. I think four days ago there was a large meeting. Nothing is totally discrete in the red light you know.

- I see.

- Russia ?

- No. What else can you tell me ?

- A german girl used to work here. A student I think. But one day she just left. We never say her again.

- What ?

- German. You are German.

The conversation continued to other matters. At the table, Federika was left alone watching the girls doing their job and dozens of military drunk and sober coming in. One soldier, quite tall and massive compared to her, came to her table shouting in spanish

- DAMN DO YOU LOOK FINE COME WITH ME, BLONDE ONES HERE ARE PRETTY RARE

She tried to ignore his call until he took her by the arm and tried to pull her from her chair

- No ! Leave me alone !

Thankfully, the girls working there came to her rescue saying that she was not working there. By them, Christopher had come out of the curtain. There was now a new objective to reach. The Sierra Azul Bar 200 meters away. There was no time to lose and both agents moved immediately to the Sierra Azul. They interrogated the bar tenders. “Yeah there were many officers on that day”. What the bar tender told them finally give them something to hold on to.

Hargeisa, Republic of Somaliland

Time: 0930

Somaliland Presidential Palace

1 مايو 2025

هرجيسا ، جمهورية أرض الصومال

الوقت: 0930

القصر الرئاسي في أرض الصومال

[list][list][list][list][list]Turmoil in the Aden Strait Surfaces in Africa[/list][/list][/list][/list][/list]

The Republic of Somaliland represented a unique enclave of Muslim Afro-Arabs surrounded by the Astroculture empire of the Galla. Since the invasion of Yemen, there has been much speculation on what the future of Somaliland would be. President Muse Bihi Abdi of Somaliland understood that the Republic could potentially be isolated from the region due to the Galla as well as the possibility of proxy warfare between the Galla and the USAN bleeding into Somaliland. The majority of the population clearly sides with the USAN due to inherited culture, religion, and integrated ethnicities and political development that has occurred across the Gulf of Aden for centuries.

In the presidential palace, President Muse Bihi Abdi would complete his early morning national security briefing pertaining to Gallan movements per the withdraw from Aden, Yemen as well as HUMINT intelligence reports across the populace to determine possible sources of Astroculture threats and grievances. Sitting in his office, President Muse Bihi Abdi was evidently stressed with the state of affairs for his country in the middle of this regional Cold War. Sitting back in his desk armchair with his eyes closed for a quick second, the office phone would ring from his secretary to inform him that the Grand Emir Abdullah II bin Al-Hussein of the USAN was on the phone returning President Muse Bihi Abdi's phone call. As soon as President Muse Bihi Abdi would touch the phone to pick it up, a large car bomb at the gate of the Presidential Palace would detonate, sending a shockwave through the proximity, shattering the windows of the palace and causing pandemonium amongst the Somaliland Presidential Guard.

The massive fireball and subsequent black smoke blurred the vision of President Muse Bihi Abdi as he was pushed forward across his desk and onto the floor from the shockwave. Laying onto the ground, President Muse Bihi Abdi would call for help as two discombobulated soldiers entered the presidential office to gather President Muse Bihi Abdi. The car bomb would be followed by a periodic cycle of gunfire near the presidential palace in civilian markets. Breaking news about the ongoing attack would flood Somaliland news as headlines showed the explosion.

After President Muse Bihi Abdi did not pick up the phone, Grand Emir Abdullah II would receive news of the car bomb attack on the Somaliland Presidential Palace, indicating that this was potential retaliation of the failed Gallan invasion of Yemen. The Grand Emir would release a statement announcing that the USAN condemns the car bombings as an attempted assassination against the Somaliland President and to destabilize the Republic to incorporate it into the Galla's crusade against Muslims, Arabs, and Afro-Arabs alike. In a fiery passionate speech, the Grand Emir has indicated that the vile crimes against humanity will not be tolerated and the USAN will continue to reach out to the Somaliland government to determine the best course of action to provide aid and assistance to determine who is directly responsible for the attack.

With the simmering of smoke and government officials dispatched to the blast and mass shooting zones, it was confirmed that 24 people have lost their lives and 44 people have been injured.

[list]| [sub]NOBUO KISHI, Chairperson of the NATIONAL COMMISSION ON PUBLIC SECURITY[/sub] | “But . . . Will Taro Aso not be your Deputy Prime Minister in his second term?”

| [sub]YOSHIHIDE SUGA, The Prime Minister[/sub] | “No, Nobuo— Taro Aso will turn 87 in 2027 and retire from politics . . . I need someone younger to remain my right-hand man and, as you will be 68 in 2027, I will appoint you as my Deputy Prime Minister, knowing also that you have great skills.”

[list]Once they were in the limousine it would drive off surrounded by a motorcade to a boulevard leading to the PresidentÂ’s Palace. On either side of the boulevard were barricades & crowds of thousands of people cheering, whistling and waving Zairean flags.

Bemba smirked as he looked out the window and saw the crowds. He was the complete opposite of Xerxes. He was eccentric & revelled in flattery. Unlike the modest & stoic Xerxes, Bemba wore every emotion on his sleeve and loved getting attention.

He would then turn to Xerxes and raise a brow.[/list]

| President Bemba: | If iÂ’m not mistaken, Xerxes was a Persian emperor of old. How then, did you come to find yourself with such a name? Is it not the case in Terra Mukumbu that the people are named either in a British, German or Dutch fashion?

| Grand Emperor Xerxes: | "My mother was Empress Farah Diba/Pahlavi of the now defunct Persian Empire, IÂ’m half Persian. My father on the other hand was Ethan De Vos, he was from one of the original Boer families to settle in South Afrika. You would be surprised with the unique family names in South Afrika, my wifeÂ’s maiden name was Chernenko and is of Russian origin. My parents gave me the name Xerxes because both of them loved the true history of the name, not the glorified and made up history that American Hollywood portrays in cinema."

Indifferences will be put aside and Tokyo will focus on cooperation and friendship with Beijing 一 Far from an Asia with tensions and conflicts. As confirmed, the Japan P.M. will make a 6-day state visit to the PRC, precisely to put Tokyo's plans into practice. China has also expressed interest in joining the Tokyo-Moscow-Seoul trilateral agreement, which appears to be well accepted by the Kremlin. |

[sub]PRIME MINISTER SUGA ANNOUNCES PLANS TO GO TO SEOUL WITH JAPANESE-KOREAN RELATIONS RESTORED.[/sub]

| After the time when Seoul was under suspicion by new Deputy Prime Minister Taro Aso and before by Shinzo Abe, where they both argued that Korea was unreliable for the Empire of Japan 一 But after a month, Suga Administration after a Cabinet meeting changed the tone and re-established friendly and allied relations with Seoul. Recently announced by Kantei, MINISTER OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS MR. MOTEGI confirmed that the Prime Minister will make a 4-day state visit to Seoul shortly after his visit to the People's Republic of China. |

[sub]SUGA FOREIGN POLICY WHICH WILL CONTINUE TO STRENGTHEN RELATIONS WITH THE MOST ASIAN NATIONS 一 THAILAND AND INDONESIA.[/sub]

| With Suga foreign policy now focusing on Asia, Japan will seek not to consent to nations such as Thailand and especially Indonesia, which is a vital partner for Japan. Japanese commercial ships have to cross the Strait of Malacca if they want to get to the Middle East faster in order to get to the Suez Canal 一 crossing the canal and reaching Europe. The Prime Minister has not confirmed that he will visit Indonesia 一 But it would be in Kantei's plans to make a state visit in the future. Although Suga has made an official visit to Thailand, Japan will always remain open to the Thai Administration for diplomatic and economic support. |

The Persians have always been extremely wealthy for as long as IÂ’ve known. As for me, similar to you I too have a foreign name. Before I changed it to Bemba my surname was actually Alessandro, after my father. He was half French & half Italian. His parents came to this country as immigrants from Europe with very little. My father then met my mother and had me after racial equality laws were passed by the Belgian colonial administration.

[sub]CEOÂ’S OFFICE, TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS[/sub]

| After a press conference at the headquarters of one of the biggest companies in Japan, including in the world — The TOYOTA MOTOR CEO, MR. AKIO TOYODA, wearing a black suit with a light blue tie, was being accompanied by his team who followed him to his office — TOYODA's right was Former TOYOTA CEO, MR. KATSUAKI WATANABE. |

[list]| [sub]AKIO TOYODA, TOYOTA CEO[/sub] | Please, Mr. Watanabe, have a seat . . . everyone else can leave my office, please.—”[/list]

[list]| [sub]KATSUAKI WATANABE, Former TOYOTA CEO & Senior Advisor[/sub] | “Uh, as you well know, I'm here to talk exactly about our factories in Africa, especially in Sudan, which is now the hub of Toyota's factories on the African continent and Toyota intends to expand the factories to Uganda.”

| [sub]AKIO TOYODA, TOYOTA CEO[/sub] | “How many Toyota factories would be created in Uganda?”

| [sub]KATSUAKI WATANABE, Former TOYOTA CEO & Senior Advisor[/sub] | “There will be 2 factories that will generate about 3,000 jobs for Sudanese.”[/list]

| TOYODA leaned back in his chair, resting his elbow on the arm of the chair. |

[list]| [sub]AKIO TOYODA, TOYOTA CEO[/sub] | “. . . Uh, Uganda is what? A province? A country?”

| [sub]KATSUAKI WATANABE, Former TOYOTA CEO & Senior Advisor[/sub] | “Uganda was a country annexed by Sudan that ended up being part of Sudanese territory.”

| [sub]AKIO TOYODA, TOYOTA CEO[/sub] | “I assume the Sudanese Administration allowed our factories to expand into new territory, right?”[/list]

| MR. WATANABE nodded in agreement with TOYODA. |

[list]| [sub]KATSUAKI WATANABE, Former TOYOTA CEO & Senior Advisor[/sub] | “Yes, Sudan seems to love our cars—haha”

[list]| [sub]AKIO TOYODA, TOYOTA CEO[/sub] | “It wouldn't be a bad idea to expand into the Transvaal Empire . . . I will contact the Pretoria Government to discuss this agreement.”

| [sub]KATSUAKI WATANABE, Former TOYOTA CEO & Senior Advisor[/sub] | “Great, Sir!”

| President Bemba | Â…And thatÂ’s why I called on youÂ

The limousine would finally arrive and the two men would make their way inside the Presidential Palace to BembaÂ’s office. It was built with a typical old fashioned Belgian style exterior & vintage interior. Although since Bemba moved in various traditional Zairean artefacts were put in.

Finally, they would take a seat.

Xerxes asks, lighting his cigarette with a bronze colored lighter that has a Deaths Head symbol on it. Such symbols have been synonymous with the South Afrikan military since the end of the Second World War, and the meanings and traditions behind them have greatly changed. Xerxes has dropped the formalities, which being royalty is very important in front of the media and the larger populace, but behind closed doors he is very much the typical South Afrikan as his posh accent has slipped away for his natural Boer/Afrikaans accent. Which to someone who hasnÂ’t heard it before, would sound a mix between an intense Dutch and English accent.

| President Bemba | If we cut to the chase, there are only two powerhouses on this continent. South Africa & Zaire. Everyone else is just playing catchup. Yes we have the Galla & Sudan who have great achievements in their own right, but in terms of industrial and resource capacity with the exception of Nigeria, no other African country comes close to reaching the levels that we are at.

Bemba exhaled a bunch of smoke.

Not my party, not my Cabinet, not the people of Zaire. I doubt they have any real foreign policy towards Africa, but I do and it involves South Africa.

Xerxes chuckles, blowing out a bit of smoke from his cigarette. Taking his officers cap off he drops it in the unoccupied seat beside him, fixing his hair which is shaved off the sides and slicked back. Now in the light, Bemba can see a springbok tattoo ok Xerxes neck just underneath the collar, the symbol itself is of older South Afrika but is still synonymous with the bloody history of the original SADF.

The more he talks, the more obvious his accent becomes, with certain words and even terms being entirely different than how he was talking before. Taking another drag from his cigarette, he reaches into another pocket on his uniform and places a small box on the desk before relaxin back into his chair once again.

Zaire Bomoko

Zaire Bomoko, the best way I can honestly describe the accent of Xerxes is if you ever watched Elysium and seen the character Kruger, played by Sharlto Copely. A very intense Afrikaans/Boer accent.

| President Bemba | First, it is a must that we co-operate in the military & technology sphere. The Zairean Weapons Enterprise (ZWE) has existed since 1996 and has been working on projects for Zairean weapons but our military engineers & scientists have struggled to get the finishing touches on various designs for decades. We’ve tried to do this without non-African support. Various previous presidents of Zaire have ignored the ZWE. But not me, we need South Africa’s military engineers to work with us and together we can develop arms on the continent that can become a booming enterprise. Other African countries can look no further to get accessible weapons, which only we will have the blueprints for. In exchange we’ll supply you with our huge cheap exports of our plentiful Cobalt, Lithium & Coltan, all of which is essential for any nation seeking to advance in the technology. Whether it be batteries, radars, phones or artificial intelligence, everything digital in this modern world relies on cobalt or coltan that comes from Zaire. And South Africa will have top priority on that with this joint agreement. What say you mon frère?

| Grand Emperor Xerxes: | "South Afrika has always had a booming weapons industry, from Denel/Armscor to Cape Town Weapon Manufacturing, so I have no doubt we will be able to create many things with cooperation between our two nations. Currently, even with the war against insurgency going on in Botswana, Vektor is currently working on designs for what they are calling 'Renegade Mk1a' which is supposed to be a mobile tank destroyer platform on top of an APC. Not only that, they are trying to create something theyÂ’re calling 'Dragons Talons' an automated multi-launcher system for rocket artillery of up to 50 rockets at a time. I hope that with the deals we make today, that your nation will receive these products and even make your own versions of them in the long run."

The Confederate Prussian Empire wrote:| Grand Emperor Xerxes: | "South Afrika has always had a booming weapons industry, from Denel/Armscor to Cape Town Weapon Manufacturing, so I have no doubt we will be able to create many things with cooperation between our two nations. Currently, even with the war against insurgency going on in Botswana, Vektor is currently working on designs for what they are calling 'Renegade Mk1a' which is supposed to be a mobile tank destroyer platform on top of an APC. Not only that, they are trying to create something theyÂ’re calling 'Dragons Talons' an automated multi-launcher system for rocket artillery of up to 50 rockets at a time. I hope that with the deals we make today, that your nation will receive these products and even make your own versions of them in the long run."

BembaÂ’s eyes gleamed and he slammed his hand on the table, stood up and walked behind a curtain in his office coming back out with a bottle of Veuve Cliquot, a French champagne. He pulled out two glasses and poured drinks for the both of them. He then slid a glass to Xerxes and raised his own.

| President Bemba | A toast then, to better weapons for both our countries!

Indeed this would be a great deal for South Africa, the more it progressed technologically it would need more cobalt and coltan to make lithium batteries, and having cheap access to that would make the process much cheaper making South AfricaÂ’s development much quicker which made all the difference in geopolitics. Zaire also had some of the brightest minds in Africa, with the Belgians pouring millions into creating top-knot educational institutions in the 60s & 70s. Therefore the ZWE with South African expertise would be able to turn various designs and plans into reality after decades of research and testing.

Xerxes takes the glass that Bemba offered him and takes a smell of the beverage offered to him, as he never truly had European style liquor before as everything in South Afrika was made by local breweries with their own style and licensing. Looking to Bemba, he stands up and raises his glass to the man

| Grand Emperor Xerxes: | "A toast to Zaire, a toast to the future for both our nations and the thousand year Reich of South Afrika."

Bemba would cheerily gulp down his champagne. It was BembaÂ’s unorthodox eccentricity that had won his party, the TRP their first ever election in Zaire. Tired of the boring, run of the mill bureaucrats that the previous presidents were, Bemba was a breath of fresh air in that he said and acted how he truly felt. This had often gotten him into controversy in the media.

But perhaps this was perfect, because had this meeting happened with a previous president, Xerxes would be unlikely to receive any genuine interaction.

| President Bemba | You mentioned BotswanaÂ… explain that a bit further? I am new to the presidency and the Foreign Minisitry are still informing me on various different events around the worldÂ

MINISTRY OF THE INTERIOR: PARIS PREPARES FOR COMPLETION OF DE GAULLE PLAZA

[sub]VTH REPUBLIC | PARIS, 2025 [/sub][/list]

[sub]| HELM OF LIBERTÉ, MINISTÈRE DE L’INTÉRIEUR - | Construction of the ongoing De Gaulle Plaza complex in Paris started in early March of 2022 with original plans for completion sometime around June of 2025. Since BPI Banque publique d'investissement took over several contracts for building projects all over France and boosted the construction efforts, pouring in billions of euros, it is expected that several of France's major infrastructure projects will be completed either on schedule or even ahead of time. The De Gaulle Plaza towers are located directly across from the Alianz-Neptune office building along the Quai du Président-Paul-Doumer and just down the main road from the recently completed Tour Hekla tower in the La Défense business district. De Gaulle Plaza whilst being a series of smaller towers surrounding a much taller skyscraper named De Gaulle Tower will stand at 2,340 ft tall or 713 meters, making it the tallest building in the European Union ahead of the Hermitage Plaza Towers in Paris and it is the tallest building in all of Europe taking first place from the Ostankino Tower in Moscow. It is surpassed by the iconic Burj Khalifa by just 377 feet. De Gaulle Plaza will bring together programs of luxury serviced apartments, a 5-Star palace hotel, class-A offices, high-end retail, and a public and entertainment space. It is also energy independent with solar technology in the glass windows of the structure itself. In fact the plaza has a negative carbon footprint as it is able to produce enough electricity for the surrounding buildings. With the plaza quickly nearing completion, BPI has moved onto the more complicated Tour Commerce and Tour Trompette towers while allocating up to €3 billion euros for both projects. It is quite clear that if you look to the North, the Paris skyline is no longer dominated by the Eiffel Tower and France is embracing a new era of architectural feats. The Republic is standing tall and standing strong. | [/sub]

Franco's Legacy, Part 2: Spain's Retaliation

| Deck crews and airmen scrambled about the flight deck of the flagship of the Spanish Navy at the time, the light aircraft carrier Dédalo, as it passed by the city of San Antonio de Ureca, on the southern coast of Bioko Island. The Spanish naval fleet, consisting of four Baleares-class frigates, a Canarias-class cruiser, and the light aircraft carrier Dédalo, was carrying 5,000 troops of the Spanish Army to the Spanish colonial possession of Equatorial Guinea in order to combat the small but lethal groups of pro-independence guerilla groups extorting rural villages, attacking civilians, and plaguing the colony's stability. Two months earlier, the head of state and the nationalistic dictator of Spain, Francisco Franco, had deployed this task force to Equatorial Guinea officially to combat and arrest the revolutionaries and pro-independence guerillas and bring them to justice after four shootouts led to the deaths of five Spanish nationals, six Equatorial Guinean nationals, and a Spanish police officer. Unofficially, these troops were ordered to ensure the continuation of Spanish sovereignty over the area. |

| A few hours later, the fleet was only sixty kilometers from the shore. Eight AV-8A Matador VTOL fighter aircraft - modified versions of the Harrier II - were shuttled up to the flight deck for launch. These Matadors were fitted with 2 drop tanks for extended range and loitering time, 2 AIM-9 Sidewinder air to air missiles, and an iron bomb each in order to execute their air superiority and tactical air strike mission. By 0950 local time, all eight jets were airborne and were cruising at low altitude over the town of Mbini as part of a publicity stunt to display to the Equatorial Guineans that Spain was moving to fight for them. The squadron of jets flew northeast, following the Benito River to Niefang, the Equatorial Guinean city with the most number of guerilla attacks, and with two of the four shootouts taking place within its city limits. About an hour and a half later, the jets flew at low altitude over the city, once more displaying Spanish strength and resolve to fight for her colonies while also keeping an eye out for guerilla movements. After circling the city twice, four of the eight Matadors broke off from the main squadron and flew fifteen kilometers south, where a village with a long history of being extorted by the guerillas lay. Only minutes later, the jets began their mission when they circled the village twice and located the guerilla camp. |

| The Equatorial Guinean guerilla forces were disorganized, ragtag and miniscule. Most guerilla groups were led by extremely ultranationalistic individuals who happened to get their hands on military arms through legal purchases and illegal raids on small Spanish military outposts of ten to twenty soldiers. These guerilla groups while small were deadly, a fact most visibly seen and cemented by the four shootings that killed innocent civilians. Due to the immense local public outrage generated by the shootings, most of these groups were forced into hiding and had to resort to extorting rural villages in order to gather supplies and ammunition. As the villages were their lifeline and source of vital supplies, guerilla camps were usually located close to these villages. While these guerillas made their best efforts to conceal their bases and camps from aerial photography, spotter planes, and the Spanish authorities on the ground, they usually weren't the best at camouflage and thus the Matador aircraft circling around the vilage perimeter had an easy time locating the nearby guerilla camp, which, according to intelligence, is one of the largest in the colony, having almost 150 guerillas based there. |

| The Niefang camp, as the largest guerilla camp in the colony was unoficially known, was located by the circling Matadors about six minutes after circling over the city of Niefang. Seconds later, after the green light from Operations Command (OPCOM) aboard the Dédalo came, the Matadors went in for the kill. The fighters disabled their AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles' target locking and guidance system, and merely pointed into the direction where the camp lay and let the missiles loose. All eight Sidewinders hit the camp dead on, allowing the fighter pilots a moment of victory as their jets flew through the slowly rising, grey smoke cloud now emitting from the target. The Matadors formed up into a single file line before circling around and dropping their iron bombs onto the target, once again generating a fearful and dark cloud of smoke. Police observers monitoring the target site radioed the success of the airstrike back to OPCOM, who subsequently ordered the Matadors back to their main squadron now flying over Bata, a port city northeast of Mbini. The airstrike mission ended about an hour and a half later when the eight jets took their turns landing back on their light carrier flagship. |

| In the following days and weeks, the Spanish troops, armored vehicles, and artillery pieces were unloaded from their carrier ships, mainly the Dédalo and the cruiser, off into the port at Bata. 1,000 or so of the task force had separated from the fleet a few days ago, when it was passing Bioko Island. This side force disembarked at San Antonio de Ureca and marched north to the regional capital of Equatorial Guinea, Malabo. The soldiers and their armored vehicles mainly just paraded through the streets, particularly in Malabo, but the 4,000-strong force on the mainland fought four small skirmishes with guerilla forces, most of whom were severely weakened and sent into disarray by the airstrike, which strengthened public resolve to resist the guerillas' demands for supplies and ammunition. These skirmishes were mainly just ambushes by the guerilla forces on Spanish military convoys patrolling the area, mainly on the roads snaking along the Benito River from Mbini to Niefang. One of these skirmishes ended with a Spanish armored patrol car driving into the River, resulting in the deaths of three Spanish troops and the injury of two others. Although these attacks successfully damaged the troops' morale, the Spanish forces stood their ground and morale was greatly boosted by a second visit by Franco to the colony, where he was met with cheering crowds and audiences during his speeches at Malabo and Bata. |

| Although with the successful fight by Spanish forces against violent pro-independence guerilla groups was heavily successful, the pressure and two state visits by Franco to Equatorial Guinea had taken a serious toll on his health. In August 1975, Franco collapsed twice, once during a meeting with various high-ranking military officers and advisors and again during a public speech in Seville. In previous years, away from the public eye, the old dictator's health had been steadily declining. He often had violent coughing episodes and occasionally became so tired he couldn't bear the weight of his responsibilities. Now that he had collapsed in front of a large public audience, questions were raised on not whether Franco was concealing his health issues, but on who would succeed him should he pass away. While the two main candidates for a possible successor to Franco, Juan Carlos and Carlos Arias Navarro, were more than willing to take his place, it was expected that the former would be given precedent due to his status as a Spanish royal. However, Franco's health held steady for a few weeks from August to October 1975, when UN pressure on Spain to release Equatorial Guinea began backing down. In early October, the Spanish head of state convened a plenary assembly of the nation's legislature (who had no responsibilities in government aside from occasionally advising Franco) in order to decide on the future autonomy and limited home rule of Spain's colony. When these officials gathered in Madrid, they were mostly certain that the decisions to be made that day - and in the coming days - would be implemented in the Spanish colony over the next few months, as it was by now expected that the colony would remain with Spain. |

PARACALE TAKEN BACK WITH BLOOD - 300 CARTEL SOLDIERS DEAD.

[pre]

Paracale is now a ruined town as army planes and helicopters performed landings in the town to take it back from the Paracale Cartel. Negotiations had been held up for the past few months or so, with both sides not making any progress at all.

The Camarines Norte regional government, sick and tired of the cartel has elected to retake the town by force. Over 1,000 AK-47s and approximately 13 kg of ammunition was discovered by invading soldiers.

Amnesty has been granted to all the residents of Paracale but 1,600 people involved with the cartel have been arrested. USD 200 million has been allocated to the town to allow it to heal once more.

Over 600 kgs of drugs were discovered in the townÂ’s city hall alone. A permanent garrison of 2,000 is staying in Paracale after this to prevent another repeat of this event. Trials are expected to begin in a few months.[/pre]

If you just attack and wage war without even asking Japan first for the land, it would be seen as extremely aggressive and you'd most likely be isolated diplomatically

The May 1, 2025 car bomb would only be the beginning of a spiral into instability within Somaliland. On May 4 and May 7, two additional car bombs would detonate within civilian markets causing death tolls to rise to 76 people and 132 injured within one meek. By May 9, it would be confirmed that the targeted attacks against the Muslim population is occurring from a suspected sect of Astroculture extremists in Borama. Although not equipped to fully address said growing extremist problems, General of the Somaliland Army Dahir Adan Elmi traveled to Abu Dhabi to meet the USAN Chairman of Defense & Security Integrity Nasser al-Khalifa regarding the growing security problem brewing in Somaliland.

Although the subjects of the meeting has been labeled classified and out of media/public knowledge, it would be reported by Deputy Chairman of the National Council for Defense & Security Integrity that the Republic of Somaliland has been approved for intelligence sharing and logistical cooperation with the USAN to determine the accurate sources of these unnamed extremists that have been conducting car bomb attacks onto the Muslim population. Furthermore, the Republic of Somaliland has accepted the USAN's proposal to commit joint military and security force training within Yemen to integrate security policies and standard operations across the Gulf of Aden.

In the meantime, Chairman Nasser al-Khalifa has approved the request from Somaliland to begin equipping the Somaliland Ground Forces with TUWAIQ-2 MRAPs, Nimr APCs/AMVs, Otokar Arma Rabdan IFVs, CAR 817 ARs, CAR 817 Designated Marksman Rifles, and K15 Light Machine Guns to increase the capabilities against this potential looming sign of a violent insurgency. From an air force based connected to the Aden International Airport, 2 x Eurofighter Typhoon twin-engine, canard delta wing, multirole air superiority fighter aircraft, 2 x Saab JAS 39 Gripen light single-engine multirole fighter aircraft, and 2 x Umar ibn Al-Khattab UCAVs would deploy en route to Somaliland for aerial reconnaissance to gather intelligence of targeted civilian centers.

Carlita Ekerlid watched vigilantly through the scope of her sniper rifle. She had been tasked by the rest of her company from the Swedish Red Vanguard Army with the goal of defending Ritsem so they could have enough time to safely evacuate. They planned to flee to Norway as well as going into isolation in the desolate north. While looking through her scope in their makeshift bunker, all she could see was the fresh water of Lake Akkajaure and the road leading up to Ritsem. She waited and watched for several minutes before a platoon from the government arrived and she began to take aim.

One shot, two shots, three shots. The echoes of the shots rang out and the soldiers began to get into formation as three were killed. A normal person would feel some sort of remorse when shooting another fellow human, Carlita did not. In her eyes it was just another dead fascistic capitalist piece of s**t. It didn't help that they purposely covered their faces with masks and goggles. She kept on killing more and more members of the platoon, only moving to avoid being triangulated.

It was just after her 13th kill did she notice a Gripen plane approaching the bunker. She rushed over to go get a 9k58 Igla Launcher but it was already too late as a missile struck the bunker Carlita was in, causing it to collapse onto her. A piece of rubble fell on her lower half, crushing her legs and intestines, and trapping her under it. The pain was unbearable with Carlita barely avoiding passing out from shock. She started to cough up blood and soon vomited up what seemed to be mostly blood and small chunks of her intestines.

She knew she was going to die very soon from blood loss, but she accepted this fact. She got out her Makarov so she could kill herself in case the army arrived before she died from the blood loss. Ekerlid felt pride in the fact that she died so her company could escape and survive. She knew that she would die for the revolution, for the party, and for the nation. With these last thoughts in her mind, Carlita Ekerlid went unconscious, and never woke again.

Zaire Bomoko wrote:| President Bemba | I see… well, that links to my next point of discussion. The Zairean army needs combat training, would it be possible for South African troops & Zairean troops to carry out joint exercises and for a portion of Zairean troops to attend South African military academy every year? We’ll even send some of our troops to fight alongside you in Botswana. What do you think of this mon frère?

Bemba drank some more champagne.

| Grand Emperor Xerxes: | "We have multiple areas in South Afrika that are completely designed for combat training. We call them Combat Operation Training Centers, COT-C's for short and the training in those places is just as intense as combat, just minus anyone getting killed by actual fire. When it comes to military academies, you and your generals can take your pick and make sure you send the proper forms. Because we have academies for the army, marines, air force and navy combat infantry, which are entirely different from our marines."

OOC: Navy Combat Infantry, NCI for short, is more or less the South Afrikan Navy's equivalent to SEALS but are not under SASOC, (Sourh Afrikan Special Operations Command), they fall strictly under the navy.

| President Bemba | Excellent, we will be sure to do so. With the joint exercises we will also do it will increase our militariesÂ’ combat coordination in the event that our troops have to fight alongside one another in any conflict on the continent.

As for business. Zaire makes a lot of cheap goods. We are the 2nd largest factory of Africa in that sense. But with high quality goods we import most of them. Now IÂ’m willing to make sure that we become a major importer of the goods manufactured in South Africa because we know your industrial capacity for manufacturing high quality goods is better than ours since youÂ’ve invested more in it than us, who have focused more on our natural resource exploitation. In exchange, I would like South Africa to make its markets more accessible for our cheap goods.

| Grand Emperor Xerxes: | "I have no issue with that as all, as long as we get quality goods as well. Cheap goods can only go so far, in exchange I would like for South Afrikan mines to be allowed permits to open here in Zaire. We have a lot to our good resources, but not many on the scale of your nation."

| President Bemba | Well under Mobutu all mines were brought under the control of the Zairean National Mining Corporation (ZNMC). So legally I canÂ’t give you full ownership of any mines. But, I can find a loophole for you.

Bemba finished his champagne, picked his cigar from the ash tray and lit it again, continuing to smoke the last of it.

| President Bemba | You can lease some copper mines from ZNMC. IÂ’ll have a word with them. For a period of 5 years, thatÂ’s as long as IÂ’m president. After those 5 years you can re-apply for a lease with ZNMC. Within those 5 years though, feel free to

mine as much as you want out of those mines without worrying about paying ZNMC any fees. Deal?

Abdulrahmanism advocates that liberal democracy is no longer compatible with the modern world, and therefore, advocates for a strong state. Humans are naturally predatory and nations are in a constant struggle, in which only the strongest can and will survive.

When I read this section of the factbook this theme song just came to my head. Alzarikstan, if you listen to it it perfectly describes your RP personality with USAN & previous spots youÂ’ve had lmaooo

North Afrika and East Afrika are mostly Arab/Muslim majority countries, which in the eyes of the South Afrikan government makes them of no concern or care to said government. Central, Western and Southern Afrika are the government of South Afrika's concern, the only issue South Afrika would have is if foreign powers start to fully encroach on 'True Afrika' which is mainly the formerly mentioned areas of the continent.

| Grand Emperor Xerxes: | "I would say that is fair enough, South Afrika has such laws as well considering our oil industry and nationalized, thatÂ’s just an example of course. What about automotive industry? Because there are a few companies in South Afrika that would like to expand their companies with branches or subsidiaries."

| President Bemba | We used import a lot of Japanese Philanialle cars, but JapanÂ’s focus on investing in Sudan Nileia has pissed me off. If they were smart, Toyota would put all their main car manufacturing companies in Zaire, but alas it is what it is. I am the first Zairean president to address this and I want to replace Japanese cars on the streets of our nation with an alternative. So yes, I welcome the South African automotive companies and their subsidiaries. LetÂ’s make South African cars the norm on Zairean streets. Although be sure that these companies have a competent Marketing strategy that appeals to the Zairean market. Zaireans are extremely family oriented & our roads can be a bit rough during the rainy season, so big cars with long-lasting engines that can be repaired easily will do well as opposed to more expensively manufactured light cars that focus more on speed & aesthetics like German models.

| Grand Emperor Xerxes: | "Trust me, lots of South Afrikan companies are set to very strict standards when it comes to qualityÂ’s their vehicles. One company that is getting on their feet, theyÂ’re fairly new, is Morpheus Automotive Company. They are still on their first model, thatÂ’s how new they are."

| President Bemba | TheyÂ’ll be a hit IÂ’m sure of it, weÂ’ll drive up tariffs on automotive imports from other countries and decrease them for South Africa. Your offices in our country will bring more jobs which is a win-win. Zaire has a population of 102 million people. ThatÂ’s a huge market.

Bemba would lean forward slightly.

| President Bemba | What do South African people think of tourism?

Tourism is a big portion of money, yes, but we tend to like our privacy and be kept alike in South Afrika. Now, people that come to South Afrika to stay and become citizens is one thing, but a bunch of foreigners just wondering around for no reason other than taking pictures with their phones and cameras is a different story."

For Zaire the “True Africa” = Bantu & West Africa. Everything else is Arabs.
