Country Information[]

IG Factbook: "Formerly the British protectorate of Bechuanaland, Botswana adopted its new name upon independence in 1966. More than four decades of uninterrupted civilian leadership, progressive social policies, and significant capital investment have created one of the most stable economies in Africa. Mineral extraction, principally diamond mining, dominates economic activity, though tourism is a growing sector due to the country's conservation practices and extensive nature preserves. Botswana has one of the world's highest known rates of HIV/AIDS infection, but also one of Africa's most progressive and comprehensive programs for dealing with the disease."

Trivia[]

  • Botswana being one of the least densely populated countries within the African continent,[Note 1] in addition to being a more or less isolated country as it has no airport and is only infected by its neighboring countries.
    • It can be a certain difficulty for the player, so it is necessary to adapt the plague to the country's environment, for which the Blood and Insect transmissions are of great help to infect the country.
    • Having a relatively small population compared to its neighbours, Botswana's population doesn't exceed 3 million, makes it very vulnerable to being completely wiped out by the vampire using Blood Rage, in the event that the player needs to reduce the probability of the creation of WHO laboratories in countries with survivors.[1]
  • Botswana is one of the few countries in Sub-Saharan Africa whose economy benefits during the Golden Age scenario, in which it transitions from being a poor country to a middle-income country, making it a little more difficult to infect the population.

Notes[]

  1. Botswana has a low population density of 0.75, which makes it difficult for the plague to spread if it lacks the right transmission traits for the country's environment. In contrast, neighbouring countries have an average population density of 1. This data can be found in the World Panel of the Scenario Creator.
