Central African Republic (Axis vs Allies: Revolutions Map Game)

Over view
The Central African Republic is a country located in the very center of Africa. It is agrarian but has diamonds, gold, iron, wood, cotton and bananas. The economy is based on minor agriculture.

The crops grown are mostly for subsistence. A series of droughts have often put the population in risk of starvation. However, cotton and timber industries and diamond mining has the potential of becoming a very lucrative business.

Sadly, the nation's infrastructure is too underdeveloped to operate a large number of mines or plantations as of 1975.

History
Basse-Kotto and Sangha-Mbaéré were damaged in an abortive attack by Zaïre in 1974.6. The repair work took a year to do.

Mobaye, Bimbo and Kouango, Bangui, Nola and Bambari become more defensively prepared by the army in 1975 and 1975.5

Tax evaders and tribal rebels occurred in Haut-Mbomou and Vakaga prefectures in 1975.5. The police were on the lookout for northern tribal rebels and tax evaders in Vakaga prefecture. Some tribal issues had arisen with Nilo-Saharan tribes on the border of Sudan, when they started refusing to pay their taxes in 1975.5.

The towns of Bingo, Bimbo and Bangui have some anti-corruption rallies and riots, but the few in the capital, Bangui are then crushed in 1976. The president orderd a crackdown on the rebels and had 16 northern tax evaders shot out of hand. In a radio speech he blamed the French government for stabbing him in the back and tells the nation it was  he and he alone  that planned  all  the mining stuff! Former president David Dacko and General André-Dieudonné Kolingba united against the government in a unholy alliance on the streets of Bimbo as violent clashes occur in the town.

Economics
A trade deal and alliance was made with the USA in 1975, and with both Zaire and Japan in 1975.5.

A central African trading block grouping is put forward (CAR, Zaïre, Cameroon, Rwanda, Burundi, Chad, Equatorial Guinea, Nigeria and Angola in 1975.5. Zaïre formed a trading and industrial partnership with the CAR that year.
