The fire of nationalism swept through Europe. As the embers cooled, a new fire was ignited. The Scramble for Africa. Motivated by its rich resources, the world took soldiers, settles, guns, telegraph wires, railroads, and the Western Culture with them. As they arrived, so too did their troubles. Lead your nation to become the ultimate ruler of the bush!



Rules:
No made up nations.
No wars outside of Africa. (Yeah. I know. But I want this to focus soley on Africa.)
You must be realistic.
You lose some and win some.

STFU, I want to be independant Liberia.

Branch, screw with Twigs' rules and give Liberia independance.

Can I still interact with Europe?

Anyway, Liberia has had independance since 1847, so it has already established itself.
