KENYA - With the possible exception of the Congo, Kenya is the best and most widely known representative of Africa, with an incredible diverse peoples, religions, cultures, and history.  It is the Africa of the safari books.  It has also come a long way since the last century.  Aids, Aids II, and the wasting plague decimated the population by almost half.  Tribal wars and political conflict took its toll as well.  When the EEC and Orbital Air stepped in, they virtually brought the country back single handed to its former glory and beyond, with the Kilimajaro Massdriver and spaceports they brought in so much work constructing and maintaining these projects that Kenya's economy boomed like a cannon.  Now Kenya is possibly along with Tanzania the most successful EEC dominated country in Africa, and the least resistant to EEC control.  The cities of Kenya are modern and magnificent, the people in them are happy and content, many natives are recruited and trained for work and life in orbit, and see it as an unbelievable opportunity for a better life (if only they knew).  Corporate sponsored game reserves and the rebuilding and in some cases re-introduction of species by genetic corporations have made safari's and big game hunting a reality again, and this has greatly increased the tourist industry, as well as drawing in many film production companies wishing to take advantage of these wonders.  The country is completely and solidly defended by EEC troops, and inner turmoil has been brought nearly to a halt.  This is not to say everyone in Kenya is happy with the situation, on the contrary their are a few political and terrorist groups who seek to return the country to self rule, free from European control, however the EEC keeps these activities to a minimum by actively and effectively seeking out the violent factions, and keeping the nonviolent factions in the background by careful media control and propaganda.
