South African Union

The year is 2010. Africa, long dominated by colonialism, has emerged from foreign rule. However, the continent is largely in economic ruin, and considerable swathes of its populace are under the poverty line. AIDS, Malaria and other diseases run rampant, while democratic governments have failed to prevent dictatorship and war.

However, in South Africa, conditions are considerably better. South Africa was the first nation to throw of colonial dominance, and despite rampant racism and discrimination, managed to set up the first democracy in Africa. Although more a collection of countries then a real nation, the Union of South African States has changed the course of world history.
