->2011 : The year of Chaos
->
->Africa weathers the changes to the world better than expected. The people
->accept the changes better than anywhere else in the world. Numerous Dragons
->and other paranormal critters appear and are catalogued by curious
->scientific observers.
>>>[My folks were in Africa on safari in late 2011 and let me tell you,
when they returned they weren't the same. Some really strange mojo must
have happened to them, but they never told me. Guess they hoped it was
only a local phenomenon and I'd never have to deal with it. Guess they
were wrong.]<<<

->2021 : Goblinisation.
Goblinization, z, not s. (Sorry, perfectionism streak)
<more snippage>
->2025 : Wildlife
->
->In Africa, the African Rhino becomes extinct in the wild. The only survivors
->are specimens in zoos.
>>>[Not entirely true, if you count the Awakened rhino, which still exists
but due to it's powers is hard to find.]<<<

->2029 : The Crash
->
->The outbreak of a computer virus almost topples the worlds economy and
->cements Africa's place as a permanent backwater. Azania is hard hit, being
->one of the few economic powers in the region. A rebellion by several army
->units develops into a major crisis, but all calls for foreign assistance go
->unheeded. The war drags on for two years before the government manages to
->crush the rebels. All rebel leaders are publicly executed.
>>>[Of course the calls for foreign assistance went unheeded. You tried
to call the President of France and end up trying to understand the
Chinese man asking you if you want any egg-woo-yong with that. The Crash
was hard on everyone, although the more 'wired' nations got the brunt of
it.]<<<
