Republic of the Congo

Not to be confused with the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the east, this nation, like many in the area, is engaged in the slow process of recovering from civil war. Progress has been a mix of promising and troubling. Human rights issues involving slavery of the local pygmy population is only now being addressed, but both this problem and general political corruption are still known issues.
Recently, the government has considered hiring superhuman operatives to help improve conditions, repair infrastructure, and make the nation more attractive to foreign investment. This measure has drawn a mix of praise and condemnation; some believe it could be a cost effective and dramatic solution to existing problems, while others believe that such a group would become a tool of corrupt officials or extremists and lead to even bigger problems.
