United Africa

Description



This mod creates, via a decision, the United States of Africa.

The premise of the mod is that in 1816, Liberia, inspired by the USA, began to form an association of tribes. Over the next twenty years, the bonds were expanded and strengthened. Now the loose associations have been transformed into a federal republic. However, questions abound.

Can the United States of Africa survive the colonial ambitions of the Europeans?

Can a modern economy be forged?

Can the conservative reaction be contained and democracy be preserved?

Will a democratic government of Africans, by Africans, and for Africans, perish from the earth?


In addition to country formation and economic jumpstarting, I've added some events that will add flavor to the experience. Everything has been done with an eye to maintaining maximum compatibility with other mods.



Because it is decision based and changes none of the game files, this mod should be compatible with almost any mod(s).

One of the best mods. One of my favorite alt histories.

Hello, dear mod creator. Perhaps you could make them have all the coast around central africa/ where malaria prévention is necessary but don't have interior colonized so there's a bit of a colonization into interior.
Something that is happening with US at the start of the game

thats why its alternate history you muppet

Also — why would US of Africa become independent on forming? It is the US resources that helped them built this very country, I doubt the Americans would just leave all their investitions. Liberia wasn't independent until the very 1847 — why would a country with much more huge market and resources?

I really like the idea and how compatibility works (via inheriting US' laws, be it vanilla or modded ones)... but god, the implementation is so unrealistic haha (no meant to offend).

Liberia gets like half of Africa for free. But ~70% of its territories are deep inland, meaning you couldn't really explore (even more — rule) them with technologies of that time. If European powers couldn't do it, why would Liberia (even with US' support)?

I've thought of the following solution:
1. Restrict US of Africa borders to the West Africa region. Every state outside of Liberia starts incorporated. Maybe leave it with laws Liberia has on start (it's just impossible to build US level social and political institutions from scratch in such a small period).
2. As for the rest of Africa — either give claims to it, or split current borders among tribes and make them US of Africa vassals / tributaries. This will make US of Africa incorporate lands much more gradually. It's a frontier basically.

@Count Tyme why not have it so you buy the colonies over 20 years paying 1000 a week per colony you buy amounting too around 1,000,000 million

@Preston & Albert Yeah I agree. The problem is, before Liberia can form much of anything that way, the europeans will have snatched up everything. Border gore galore is the inevitable result.

It would be fun to be able to grow into this from just Liberia rather than just starting with all of Africa

A mod that boosts Liberia a little bit and gives it events to progressively unite Africa and create the US of Africa would be more inmersive.
