You've all seen African Breakdown being one of the most viewed pages on the wikia after the Maps for Mappers pages, but why? How does an inactive map game that never even got off the ground become so popular?

As it turns out, the government of Ethiopia used the map in the page for official purposes for some obscure reason, leading the online presence of almost every nation in the Horn of Africa to start bugging each other. Eventually the Ethiopian government publicly apologised for this blunder, but not before global media coverage, as shown here, here and here.

A video made by EthanKoenigsberg summarises the situation here.

This may explain why the African Breakdown page is so popular despite it being a stillborn map game. Reverse image search can do wonders sometimes.
