Country Information[]

IG Factbook: "Dutch traders landed in modern day South Africa in 1652. The discovery of diamonds and gold spurred wealth and immigration and intensified the subjugation of the native inhabitants. The Union of South Africa became a republic in 1961 after a whites-only referendum. In 1948, the National, Party was voted into power and instituted a policy of apartheid - the separate development of the races - which favoured the white minority at the expense of the black majority. The African National Congress (ANC) led the opposition to apartheid and many top ANC leaders, such as Nelson Mandela spent decades in South Africa's prisons. Internal protests and insurgency, as well as boycotts by some Western nations and institutions, led to the regime's eventual transition to majority rule. South Africa since then has struggled to address apartheid-era imbalances in decent housing, education, and health care."

Tips[]

  • The Twinfinite website recommends starting in South Africa to beat the Bacteria Disease Type in Brutal because this country has many sea and air routes to important nations in addition to routes to island nations, in this case Madagascar, which is sometimes difficult to infect, in addition to Australia.[1]
    • Starting in South Africa will make it easier to infect countries in the southern hemisphere, but it will be more difficult for the plague to spread to areas in the northern hemisphere. In addition to the fact that South Africa does not have as many routes as other countries, although it is relatively one of the key countries when it comes to infecting African countries that do not have air and sea routes and are generally somewhat isolated such as Angola, Zimbabwe and Botswana.

Trivia[]

  • In the Fake News scenario, there is an achievement called District 9 in which the player has to start the game in South Africa. The reason for this is because the achievement is based on a movie that was partially filmed in this country.
  • South Africa is the only starting country from Africa in Plague Inc.: The Board Game.[2]
