Africa has been a continent in turmoil, more so then any
other in the modern world but apparently it stabled up in
the modern world. Now this voices some cultural and
governmental problems I want to try to tackle for Trinity.

North Africa, is very Muslim based. It is infact not
different from today, except that the countries economies
are mostly manufacturing, especially in the desert regions.
THe main language of communication remains Arabic here.

West Africa would fare a bit different... and I decided
that due to the spread of Swahili inland, it eventually
reached West Africa as a heavily accented version of it
borrowing heavily from Hausa, Ebo and Wolof for many of
it's words. This area is highly buisness like, and could
be compared to the Wall Street of America.

Central Africa remains a tough land. Though Swahili spread
through the jungle, Abberants spread through their to, and
many are suspected to live deep in the rainforest. The
area is extremly well preserved, almost to rival Brazil.
The majority of people here are housed in small villages to
keep the jungle's safe.

East Africa would be the culture Basket of Africa, with
Swahili spreading from their, and a majority of major
fashions comming from Addis Ababa, Mogadishu, and Nairobi.
Being like this makes the area very city like and urban
culturized.

Southern Africa, has resisted Swahili speaking the most.
Zulu and Xhosa have mixed strongly with English and
Afrikaans to make an odd language called "Isizunguni". The
non-Bantu San people have also risen to promenance in the
Southern Parts of Africa. Mineral resources and mining are
very common here as well.

Now, since the place is united and more "Bantuized" then it
is now I thought some major changes would be in order. In
the 50's Kenya tried to used Ge'ez script, which is used to
write Amharic, to write Swahili but as to few people used
Swahili the idea was scrapped. Ge'ez is being used now
though for most African languages and Lativan writting has
become extremely un-common. Each section of Africa is
divided into largely independent counties. Each county has
a governor, and an amount of senate representatives
depending on population. These people answer to their
respective area's of the country. These areas are ruled
over by a President and Two council men. These presidents
and council men make up the UAN governments senate as a
whole. This government is ruled over by a Prime Minister
who is elected in 5 year terms. The government doesn't
have any main parties and this leads to very little getting
done on the larger scale, fortunately millary is controlled
by the Prime minister and senate. Local laws are more
common then Federal laws, and the only law enforcement
agencies the UAN central government is allowed to have are-
The UAN internal security force, which stops criminals from
attempting to flee to another part of Africa to hide from
local authorites and the UAN WaTesa who are in charge of
making sure that the money stays in the system properly.

Other key things I thought of. Assuming the population on
Earth in 2122 is 10 billion-
Africa Population- 2.5 Billion (Due to the lack of AID's
and the Crash not affecting them much)

I want to point out that Kiswahili is the most widely
spoken native language in Africa. I think the Next would
either be Amharic or Zulu. Numbers wise about 53 million
people speak Kiswahilli, most of the other common languages
of Africa number less then 30 million. So I'd think
Kiswahili would replace English and Portugese in the East
and Central parts of Africa entirely. Kiswahili was
originally only spoken on the East Coast of Africa, but
even in modern times has spread all the way into the
Congo. With that in mind, it should also be noted that
Bantuization would have nearly been accomplished.

Also, take into account countries power growing. A kin
to "Things Fall Apart" Africa wasn't perfect after the
Abberant war. I'd think having major powers arise would be
interesting. For Example, I'd Imagine South Africa staying
the power in the South, The East African Union (Uganda,
Kenya and Tanzania, which could infact even join in the
modern age), Egypt and Nigeria. I can see these countries
actually making war on other countries around them, and
these wars are what made union so easy. Without Looking at
a Map, I can see South Afica expanding it's coastlines on
both sides of Africa which would give it powerful trade
advantages, also Bantuization would be weak in this country
considering many Europeans had fled their during the
Abberant war.
East Africa Union, would odviously for this matter want
access to the other side of Africa and would invade the
Congo. These chain reactions would get worse, with trade
becoming a major focus. Due to the highly African
population in these areas as well, Kiswahilli would be
spread to the other parts of Africa.
Egypt, wanting control of much of European Trade, would be
likely involved in taking over territory in North Africa
for oil and a longer coast. Also it should be noted, not
to much would change under Egyptian rule other then North
Africa being more united under one government.
Nigeria, being surrounded by Small countries could spread
across the edge of Africa's bulge with little trouble. The
language problem would be extreme in this area, probubly
more so then in the Congo. Despite needs for Bantuization
English would remain offical along with French by default.

When the UAN itself would get formed though. It would need
to work like a United Nations of sorts. So I think that
maybe having the UAN languages be English, French,
Afikaans, Arabic and Kiswahilli would make sense. Writting
though could probubly be agreed on. Since their are only
three main writting systems in use in Africa, and two of
them aren't from Africa, the African one would make the
most sense. So Ge'ez would be used to write all of these
languages, more then likely, but it would have to fall into
favor slowly and would be taught in schools as a second
alphabet.

This is all brain storm, hopefully the powers that be will
notice this.
