  1. 12:38 One big problem here is that Algeria and Morocco have been draining their ability to project power by petty struggles between themselves for decades. But I guess if the old generation is replaced by a new one, they may be able to work that out. Also, Spain/the EU has been trying to do such a highway through the Sahara. I could see them start it, then get distracted off it for some reason and Algeria and Morocco take it over. 14:32 the fertilizer issue might rare it head again if we don't get a way to recycle phosphorus as it's mines are expected to be deplited in a few centuries at most. 14:20 The biggest issue Africa would have here is well, this isn't middle ages were each region and civilization was largely self contained. In all likelihood either external influence would stop this process from going completely through (Chinese and Westerners forming and keeping Vassal useless states) And most problematically, Brain Drain. The Global South is already suffering horrible Brain Drain to West countries were all their best memes, cultural traits and genes go to die or be absorbed. With straight up civil wars everywhere it would only be worse. Like imagine if America could have formed if there was like Atlantis somewhere there accepting and scouting for migrants like the founding fathers from America. This is one big way that Europe ending non-EU migrations can not only help themselves but the world as well. Also, Botswana is doing pretty good. Why's it missing from this Map? 14:51 I always keep seeing this over simplification with Igbos. Most of the Oil is on the coast or in the sea shelf and the people on the coast are Ijaw and Cross-river minority groups not Igbos. I could easily see the Igbo form a coherent identity with the Ijaw but not with the other coastal groups, giving them very bad geography when it comes to creating defensible states. (Also, Igbo region also has oil but is less accessible and smaller).

  2. @UCE55QfjUph01R4nfGESKeRA One good thing that may come out of a war is one side winning decisively and ending that struggle and allowing whichever side that wins to project power south. Of course the biggest weakness of this is that they may destroy each other and become prey for Europe as you said, so diplomatic end is best. Preferably this can be solved without a war but having something to end the stalemate (war or diplomacy) is better than Morocco and Algeria draining and distracting each other forever.

  4. It feels like my man just really wanted to change the borders in some places.
