Talk:Namibia (1983: Doomsday)

Single Party Dictator?
Why do you relegate Namibia to a dictatorship just because SWAPO is the ruling party. In our time line it is described as a presidential republic. According to the Wikipedia article, the president does not serve as a dictator but is president with a prime minister and legislature. Their struggle for independence has made them largely Marxist (socialist), but in TTL I don't think they would gravitate towards a dictatorship. I may be wrong, but the recasting this nation as a 'single-party dicataorship' seems to predispose any developer to create a strongman government where a republic should be.
