I have Cyberpirates, which has information on some West African states (mostly what was Cote d'Ivoire and Ghana) and a blurb on Madagascar.
I also know that T:AL also discusses kiliminjaro briefly and that the Wakyambi elves are mentioned in SR:Companion.
What other canon SR sources have given us info on Sub-Saharan African states?
I remember some reference to the Zulu Nation in old White Wolf magazines, but I'm pretty sure they're non-canonical, given that there was a canon discussion of New Orleans in T:SH.
Can anyone help answer this for me?
Full Version: Africa: 2064
The Sprawl Survival Guide has blurbs on Africa in general, as well as Cairo and Cape Town. There's a little blurbs of history about the Maghreb in SoE and Dot6W (in Aden's section). Can't think of anything else.
There is some info in Predator & Prey since one of the runs ends there.
The Zulu Nation is canon. It's mentioned in Aztlan. It's part of the Azanian Confederation (check out the info on Mujaji in DotSW). It's also the settings in one of the novels by Sargetn & Gasgione, but I can't recall which. Nosferatu, perhaps?
Also mentioned in Cybertechnology, and...
You get the idea.

Speaking of deserts, there's Target: Wastelands
he said "sub-Saharan."
Africa does not have only 1 desert, bub.
Goddammit.
There are two named deserts in T:W, too.
Fuck. My bad.

There also is one novel that in large parts takes place in former South Africa, covering the Vrystaat as well as the Zulu-Elf nation. Might've been that Nosferatu book, but I'm not sure there, since it's been about seven years since I read these books.
Does the 6th world wiki cover Azania?
Not very much. But what it does cover is here.

It would be nice to see more folks helping out with the wiki. Even one or two articles derived from an old beat-up copy Shadowbeat would be useful.

Both threads are mainly about those Asamando carrion-eaters ... I'd like to see some more variety concering Africa.

I'm reading through Nosferatu again, and will try and compile some articles on former South Africa.

There's stuff in Shadowbeat about the area? Must have missed that.

I just thumbed through it again. Where is the info on Africa?

I meant the Sixth World Wiki in general, not information about Africa. The Sixth World Wiki is slowly, but steadily, growing in size and I'd like to see it become a more valuable resource.
Aren't there also probably a few legal concerns about putting up info from the books up on the wiki?

If you cut/paste it, sure. But summarizing the information in a concise and referential manner is fine, and in fact, probably preferable. It's no different than writing a book review, as long as you aren't ripping entire sections directly out of the book.
