Ethiopia

From Gothpoodle

• Population: 300 million
• Aspects: Very Unstable, Very Free, Dead Broke

This ancient country has suffered terribly throughout the 21st century, as modest agricultural and industrial development have been outstripped by a booming population. Almost 300 million people live in abject poverty here, sometimes dependent on outside aid even for food. The official government is a socialist democracy, but its effective authority extends no more than a few miles from the capital.
