History of Central African Republic

History of Central African Republic

Economy

Much of CAR's economy is based on agriculture.The crops grown are mostly substience as a series of draughts have often put the population in risk of starvation. However, cotton and timber industries have also done very well in recent years. These two items make up much of the Republic's export's to its neighbors. Diamond mining has the potential of becoming a very lucrative business but the nation's infrastructere is too underdevoleped to operate a large number of mines.

International Relations

The only nations that the Central African Republic has relations with are its closest neighbors South Sudan and Chad. The Republic has mainted a distance from the nations of Camerron, especially the Islamic Republic of Cameroon, which is looked at with suspsion by much of the population. Due to their ethnic connections with the people of Southern Chad and the Sudanese refugees living in the Eastern half of the CAR have formed a valueable go between with South Sudan, though some of them have returned to South Sudan since the end of the war.

Government

The Central African Republic is a Presidental Democratcy with a President as head of state and a single governing body of elected representatives. The President is the head of the government and serves a five year term before each election. Their is no limit to the number of terms a president can serve which has served as a point of worry for some who believe this could lead to another dictatorship. Francis Adama is the current president and has been reelected by a huge majority in the elections of 2004 and 2009. No political parties have yet to been formed due to the conflicting poltical history of the nation, candidates run indpendently in their own areas. No Judicial system has been established on a federal level and justice is admiinstrated locally, making punsihment for crimes vastly different depending on your location and the traditions of the people living their.

Religion

Christianity is the majority religion in the Central African Repulbic, more than 80% of the population considers this their main spirtual belief. Much of the rest of the population is Muslim, who face some discrimination due to fear of radicalization and the possiblity of their connections with the Islamic Republic of Cameroon.

Travel

The roadways of the Central African Republic had been a mess before Doomsday and now have all but completely fallen apart. Ironically roads in the Eastern half of Central African Republic are better constructed and mostly paved due to aid from South Sudan. For the time being dirt paths have been constructed to allow better mobility in many areas and in rural area's especially horses and other large animals are generally used as transportation.
