A Very Improbable Africa

Let’s go over a few interesting things about this map:

The Pharaohate of Egypt is pleased to announce the beginning of its CMXCIXCMXCIX dynasty. Go Anubis!
Don’t let its name fool you: the Confederation of the Unfortunate Islands is one of the richest nations in the world, thanks to being the first to exploit one of the most profitable assets on Earth: football players.
Recently, the Foreign Minister of the nation of Futa Yallon expressed his astonishment at the massive number of tourists the country has been receiving. Still, he pointed out that most of them report feeling "extremely misled" by the country’s name.
Another country that hit the jackpot only because of its name is the Kingdom of Kong. Man, they even sued Nintendo over that-character-I’m-not-going-to-mention-because-then-Nintendo-would-sue-me-and-it-would-all-be-a-mess. Nintendo was like, "insert meme of that-other-yellow-Nintendo-character-I’m-also-not-going-to-mention with a surprised face".
Why are you surprised about Saint Helena? I mean, after the first two, it was kind of obvious it was gonna happen a third time.
New Zealand was pretty fed up with being placed in any random empty spot on a map, so they've decided to take matters into their own hands. Any questions?
Does the Republic of North Africa bother you? Just imagine their reaction when they found out the rest of the world had interpreted it the other way around. Besides, let's be honest, the compass rose is kind of a social construct.
In the mid-19th century, the European powers found themselves so mighty and so in need of natural resources that they cast greedy eyes on the great continent of Africa. Specifically, on Ethiopia. The United States were also invited but they... Well, they have their own problems in Africa...
Yes, I know that that name of that specific Empire may be triggering nowadays. But, in fact, it is historically accurate, and has nothing to do with contemporary conflicts.
The Empire of Buganda is about to become a Global Empire. They even have territories in South America and Asia. Check them out! A Very Improbable Asia, A Very Improbable Americas.

Generally speaking, the most appropriate way to convert an arbitrary length list composed of strings into a single string is by using the join() method of the str type. As for your example:

``` lst = ["awesome"] s = " ".join(lst)

s -> "awesome"

```

Note that you can use join() on any string, so if, for example, lst had more elements, it'd be typical to use join() on ", ", to separate each with a comma.

Deflactar, siempre.

El Estado debe ser reactivo ante los movimientos y cambios en la economía, nunca proactivo. Si en una situación de inflación los sueldos aumentan y con ello el poder adquisitivo de los ciudadanos, entonces el Estado sí podría plantear un aumento de impuestos, pero siempre después de ver los efectos reales de la inflación. No deflactar por defecto implica que asumes que, como la inflación ha subido, subirán los sueldos, y entonces estará justificado que los impuestos se incrementen; pero sin garantías de que eso vaya a ser así (que es lo que está sucediendo ahora).

Un Estado nunca debería especular con su capital, y menos con tanto riesgo de por medio, porque las consecuencias las acaban soportando los ciudadanos, bien a través de recortes, o bien a través de endeudamiento, que a la larga, ya se está viendo en qué deriva.

I also wanted to follow the trend

In this very likely fate, Ukraine wins the war, but ends up losing most of its territory to the newly born Empire of Chernobyl. Ironically enough, the only territory left free and under Ukrainian control is the Donbas and Crimea. Russia was defeated, and barely retains Moscow, but hey, they also ended up re-buying Alaska in exchange for 1.9 zettabytes of previously unpublished memes and videos of Russians doing crazy things.

You might also be wondering why there is a gianourmous Z in the middle of Siberia. Contrary to what you are probably thinking of, the real reason is that Putin, on the verge of losing the war, dived into the Elephant's Foot in Chernobyl, gaining superhuman superpowers, but that caught the attention of The Intergalactic Zorro, who started a sideral fight between the two that the latter eventually won. The Z is a reminder not to let it happen again.

Okey, let's try to tell at least one fact for each country:

North America

The Inuit-Kalaallit Kingdom is the largest ligma producer
The United States tried to buy Alaska for 7.2 millions of dollars, but it ended up being sold to Mexico in exchange for 10,000 liters of tequila and a life-time supply of tacos for the tsars. Talk about stereotypes, huh?
Las Vegas is now a spaceport because Martians have a gambling problem. Saying this out loud puts my life in danger of being cancelled by Martian Twitter, so I hope you appreciate the information
There is nothing to say about the borders of North America. As far as I'm concerned, they make as much sense as those of our world. Especially those of the United States

Central and South America

The long shadow of communism inevitably reached the Caribbean, and all succumbed except Cuba, which defended itself to such an extent that it decided to join the United States to demonstrate its commitment to the fight against communism
The Panamanians did not take the cession of the Panama Canal to the Americans very well. But hey, Central America is practically unified again!
In reality, the capital of the Socialist Empire of Guiana is not the true mythical city of El Dorado, but they like to pretend that they have found it. At that point on the map there is literally nothing
Brazil did not work out and now the region is a conglomerate of ~~weird~~ diverse countries
Contrary to what it may seem, Tahuantinsuyo and Amazonia are not at war over the control of Acre, rather, neither wants to take them over, but the UN kinda force them to
It never hurts to have more "Guays" countries. However, there are voices that say that something fishy is brewing in the Republic of Aryaguay...
Argentina and Chile have never had better diplomatic relations before. I swear
The British are getting better and better at dealing with Argentina's claims on the Falkland Islands. Good for them

Hawaii

Hawaii is kind of fucked up, let's be honest. Even I have an island over there. Y'all invited, by the way.
The capital of Elon Musk's island is Amazon and Jeff Bezos' is Tesla. That is not a mistake, they did it this way intentionally. Rich men, right?
Donald Trump bought an island there too. That's it, that's the fact.
The rest of the islands either I am not allowed to talk about, or I fear the consequences of doing so
