Republic of Nigeria


 * History: Nigera remained a major power in Africa in the 2010s, but was still mostly irrelevant globally. However, with rising tensions around the world, and nationalism starting to gain traction once again, the people became fearful of a possible foreign invasion, maybe even recolonization. Rabiu Akiolu, a Senator who was rising rapidly through the ranks of the APC, took advantage of the population's fears, saying that he would "make Nigeria stronger than the imperialists among the west" if elected President. In 2031, Akiolu announced his bid for the office, managing to become his party's nominee. His opponents in the PDP fought back, claiming that Akiolu was a Fascist seeking a power grab. After a brutal election campaign, Akiolu narrowly won the election due to a number of scandals about his opponent being revealed in the months before the election. Though there were concerns of fraud and attempts to block likely PDP supporters from voting, Akiolu was still able to hold onto his office. He started his term by expanding the Nigerian military, earning him the support of the growing nationalistic branch of the people. In 2033, he announced an effort to build a high-speed railway connecting Abuja and Lagos, which was completed in 2035. That same year he ran for re-election, winning by a comfortable margin. In 2036, Nigeria annexed the northern part of Cameroon, sparking outrage, but little action. In 2038, Benin, with their country starting to fall apart, voted to become a part of Nigeria. Akiolu, wanting to remain in power, managed to change the constitution that same year, giving himself no term limit, along with much greater executive power. Despite human and civil rights groups slamming him, he won re-election by an unusually large margin, and some vote tampering was suspected. Today, Nigeria has a much larger presence on the world stage, being one of the strongest nations in Africa.
