Republic of Zimbabwe

A proud nation with a long and varied history, the 20th Century was not kind to Zimbabwe in many respects. Human rights abuses, rebellion, and corruption inform how much of the world views the nation. Conditions in the country are improving steadily, as they are in many other nations in the region, but it’s a slow, gradual process. Recently, efforts to improve the nation’s economy and technological infrastructure have been aided by their representative in SASHA, Zingizi, and a number of talented young engineers and technicians the heroine has recruited to work with her on “Project Hive”. This project has gained public support from citizens and politicians alike, though some within the government seek to sabotage Zingizi’s efforts for fear they will transform the young woman into a political rival.

PROJECT HIVE

Project Hive is Zingizi’s private institution with the stated goal of using technology to increase stability and the quality of life in Zimbabwe and the rest of Southern and Eastern Africa. Project Hive is slowly, but definitely, improving agriculture, industry, and education, primarily by providing advanced technology for, and improving communications between, charities, schools, hospitals, and government agencies. Zingizi has designed the program as many individuals and organizations working together for the good of all, though her success is drawing the ire of SHADOW, corrupt local officials, warlords, and other forces who profit from oppressing the populace.
