The Sultanate of Sokoto, commonly known as just Sokoto, is a country located in West Africa. It borders the Tuareg Confederation of Azawad and the Malian State to the west, the Sultanate of Aïr and the Cameroon African State to the east, and Free Yorubaland, the Gbeland Republic, the Republic of Ghana, the Republic of Mossiland, and the Free French Liberation Forces to the south.

Luftwaffe Terror Bombing
Launched from airfields in Südwestafrika, the German Luftwaffe regularly launch missions across western Africa, indiscriminately bombing both civilian and military targets as a demented form of 'pilot training'. Only along the coast do those few scattered cities with sufficient anti-air capabilities keep the Luftwaffe at bay, with none in the region capable of beating back this enemy permanently. This leaves the Germans with near impunity to strike the towns and farmlands further inland, crippling west African growth until this nightmare can finally end.

| Ethnic Tensions
No Effects The rulers of Sokoto, the Fula people, have been displaced from their homeland in Nigeria by the advance of Cameroon. While their armies were not enough to stop the pan-African juggernaut, they were more than sufficient for the Fula to carve out a new home for themselves to the northeast. However the native people of the region, the Hausa, are chafing under the rule of their Fula conquerors. With tensions rising every day, it won't take much for the situation to spiral out of control.

| Islamic Influences
No Effects The Islamic faith plays an important role at all levels of society in the Sultanate of Sokoto. From the common people to the highest levels of government, Imams and other religious advisors are consulted on every action and decision. While the control of the faith is not absolute, its influence is pervasive, and the words of the Prophet are never far from the minds of the Sultanate's rulers.
