Angola (World of Truth)

Angola is a former Portuguese colony and Communist country. Today, it is one of southern Africa's two powerhouses (the other being South Africa). Nonetheless, Angola is still a land of heavy contrasts between cities and rural fields, and between the rich and the poor.

History
The Angolan coastline was crucial for the Portuguese Empire's rapid expansion over the course of the 16th century. What started off as a trade colony in what is now Luanda became a tiny colonial settlement that within a century has become a coastal powerhouse, by forcing locals to bring precious materials to Portugal.

During the Berlin Conference, the Angolan colony got its current borders delineated. These borders are still in use today.

Angola continued to prosper as part of the overseas plans Portugal had during the New State.
