Nostalgia (2016)
“A vaguely defined area of Region 6 troubled by poverty, disease, civil wars, and corruption. Formerly it was occupied by sovereign nations that had achieved independence from European dominance in the twentieth century. The name of Maskinia is believed by some scholars to be derived from masikini or miskin (South Asian and African languages, through Arabic) meaning a beggar, or someone deserving charity. Other, less demeaning and exotic etymologies have been suggested. The languages spoken are ...numerous: they include variants of English and French, Swahili, Arabic, Hausa, Lingala, Bambara, and others of indigenous origin. An evolved Hindi is spoken by a small minority.
To the southeast of the region lies EAF, the East African Federation; the other boundaries are more fluid, and the region, described loosely, overlaps with the former Congo, which has been torn by strife for well over a century. Maskinia is rich in minerals, predominantly uranium and gold, and agricultural land that for reasons explained below cannot be fully exploited.MoreLess
