It is a very vast (over 4 times greater than Italy) state, but with a density of only 6 inhabs / kmq. It's constituted by a northern region steppica and desert, with the tallest part of the Tibesti and with beautiful Saharan landscapes and from a damp tropical southern region with a long season of the rains.
It doesn't have way out on the sea, but it understands big part of the Lake Ciad.
The political situation is difficult and after repeated dictatorships a presidential regime has been established, that however it has not defeated the armed opposition of various groups, that unfortunately door as a result the presence of a lot of mined zones. In the subsoil have been found discreet oil resources, that could represent a future for the nation.
