Zimbabwe

From Gothpoodle

• Population: 11 million
• Aspects: Third Wave

At one time Zimbabwe was the nation most devastated by the AIDS epidemic, with well over one-third of the population infected. Once South African biotech firms had made an AIDS cure available, Zimbabwe soon became closely aligned with South Africa. The relationship between the two countries was the cornerstone of the South African Coalition, and remains very close. The subject of a political union between the two countries comes up every few years, but so far has not gathered significant public support.
