Also, the combined GDP of Africa in 2014 is about as much as my country would have, so I would suggest that perhaps you revise your nation's status.

ALSO YOU CANNOT USE WHAT WAS SAID IN THE OOC AND INTERPRET IT AS IC, THAT IS METAGAMING and IT'S NOT OK.

Papua New Guniea has way more less than the EAF and so does New Zealeand. :P The only reason why you have such a big economy is because of Australia.

New Zealand is half the size of your economy and it has 33 times less people. PNG is a backwater, soon to be changed however. And 'Straya is better than you by a mile.

It is because it has existed longer allowing unlimited time for what it is today. EAC is the FASTEST GROWING ECONOMIC REGION IN AFRICA AND ONE OF THE FASTEST IN THE WORLD.

EAF is the EAC and the EAC hosts the fastest growing economic region in the world giving it the legitimacy to be one of the fast growing countries in the world and also an African country can have a space program and they might be an East African Federation soon

Countries in the EAF actually have conducted poverty reduction programs.

Not intentionally, no. I dig the word in general, and it means shield, so I figured it was appropriate. And I checked with Mars; it seems likely that our alternate history may have precluded the formation of NATO (and might require a small tweak of your IC post, Hobbes). In its absence, I'm having us form an analog. :)

A lack of NATO wouldove probably been quickly followed by a Soviet invasion of europe.

If we're going to go as far back as dissolving NATO, we're looking at the soviet union not existing, which will fuck with all kinds of shit, or a Soviet europe.

17 nations without any formal alliances between all of them and a lack of a modular Command and Control structure like NATO wouldove really fucked the allies, and quite possibly resulted in loosing a war.

The main achievement of NATO is a joint command and control structure.

Also, without a 'attack one - attack all' policy that NATO had, the Soviets, without any deterrence, could start taking countries 1 by one while countries hesitated.

That all presupposes a Soviet Union having existed. To be honest, I'm quite sure how far back our butterfly effect began. No Soviet Union would be quite a drastic change.

We could perhaps ret-con NATO as having devolved after the dissolution of the Soviet bloc and Warsaw Pact. Or it could become revised into a militant arm of the UN - which would never work, and might be the whole reason NATO withers into pointlessness, necessitating a new alliance.

The U.S, for one, would never permit NATO devolving into a militant arm of the U.N.


A valid argument against NATO is that its regionalized, North Atlantic Treaty Organization, which might neccessitate a new organization.

Well this is an AH RP, so it doesn't really require an explanation because that would take a long time to come up with one to fit everyone's history.
