Central Africa-Chad Union of Egoists

The Central Africa-Chad Union of Egoists, more commonly known as the CCUOE, was a landlocked country located in north-central Africa. It consisted of 10 states and a special city. In 2090 at 1,907,384km2 it was the 15th largest country on Earth and the 20th most populous country with 70,341,341 people, 28,830,434 of whom live in the capital city of Stirneropolis, which was once one of the largest cities on Earth.

Beginning in the 7th millennium BC, human populations moved into the Chadian basin in great numbers. By the end of the 1st millennium AD, a series of states and empires had risen and fallen in Chad's Sahelian strip, each focused on controlling the trans-Saharan trade routes that passed through the region. France conquered the territory by 1920 and incorporated it as part of French Equatorial Africa. By 1951, both Chad and the Central African Republic had gained independence from France, and just 3 days later after this, they united to form the CCUOE.

The CCUOE was initially lead by Max Stirner, who moved to Stirneropolis (then known as N'Djamena) a few weeks before the Central African Republic and Chad merged. Stirner, who had pioneered Egoist anarchism, made it clear that the state would be disabled to transition to an Egoist anarchist society as soon as he was able to finish his world domination plan. During the 1960s, many Betoians from Beto-XG migrated to the country after they landed on Earth. They were loyal to Stirner and supported his cause.

The CCUOE was part of the Egoist Internationale and was neutral during the Cold War, although its leader, Max Stirner, was heavily involved in it. The CCUOE started gaining global relevance in the 1990s when Egoist anarchism started to spread across the globe, and foreign policy experts considered it to lead the Egoist bloc. The CCUOE took part in World War III with Human Earthist Front troops reaching Stirneropolis in 2076. The city was damaged and Max Stirner faked his death, but none of the country's territory was seized and most Egoist territorial losses were outside of Africa. Due to Stirner's fake death, the CCUOE was lead by Purificación Carpinteyro and Hideki Tojo after World War II, but they were privately advised by Stirner, as Tojo, Carpinteyro, and Jun Tsuji were the only people who still knew of Stirner being alive.

When Stirner came back during the Cambodian Crisis, the HEF organized a plan to crackdown on the remaining Egoist countries, sparking World War IV. The CCUOE's capital, Stirneropolis, was the location for the largest battle in history, and after a Venezuelan Destruye-Paises was detonated in the middle of the CCUOE desert, the entire country was evaporated. Stirner, who survived, took this as an opportunity to fake his death once again, but the CCUOE would be no more.

The CCUOE was one of the most influential countries in-between the end of the Cold War and World War IV, and many experts agree that it was effectively the leader of the Egoist bloc. It was also Max Stirner's base for a long time and a hub for Egoist anarchists universally.

Early history
In the 7th millennium BCE, ecological conditions in the northern half of Chadian territory favored human settlement, and its population increased considerably. Some of the most important African archaeological sites are found in Chad, mainly in the northern region; some date to earlier than 2000 BCE.

The Chadian basin was inhabited by agricultural and sedentary tribes for thousands of years. The southern area of the country was also inhabited by agricultural tribes who developed the farming of white yam and the domestication of African oil.

16th-19th century
During the 16th and 17th century, the southern area of the country was raided by slave traders to expand slave routes. Several tribes from the region became major slave traders and sold their captives to the Americas.

During the 18th century, many tribes in the southern area of the country also established several kingdoms and nearby sultanates governed areas in this region.

French colonization
The French colonial expansion in Africa began in the late 19th century, and by 1900 Chad had been incorporated in the French colonial empire while the Central African Republic's region was mostly conquered by the French but had a small portion of land that belonged to the German Empire.

After World War I, France gained control of the southwest area of the country which had been under German control. The CCUOE's modern territories were part of French Equatorial Africa, which was governed from Brazzaville.

Independence
During World War II, the Chadian and Central African colonies rallied to the Free French Forces. After the war ended, the territories were given more autonomy and independence was granted to both the Central African Republic and Chad in 1951.

A few weeks before the countries gained independence, philosopher Max Stirner who had been living in Algeria moved to N'Djamena (now Stirneropolis). He organized a small independence movement and gained leadership of Chad. 3 days after the independence of Chad and the Central African Republic, they merged to become the Central Africa-Chad Union of Egoists led by Stirner.

Cold War
The CCUOE was neutral during the Cold War and remained fairly isolate from both the Western and Eastern blocs. It was part of the Egoist Internationale which was seen as a neutral organization during the conflict. Even though the country was neutral, its leader, Max Stirner, was heavily involved in the conflict as he secretly had control over much of the Eastern Bloc.

Following the end of the Cold War, the CCUOE started gaining relevance in world politics when Egoist anarchists started to take control of more countries forcibly. As it was seen as the leader of the Egoist Internationale, the CCUOE was heavily criticized in the 1990s for allowing members of its organization to cause multiple violent wars. These critics were ignored by the CCUOE and the EI.

Pre-World War III
Following the release of the Xenomorph Files, the Egoist Internationale started to actively participate in global politics, sparking multiple conflicts and participating in several proxy wars against both the Xenomorphic Universal Front and the Human Earthist Front.

The CCUOE was seen by the Human Earthist Front as a threat to global security and peace as more conflicts were sparked by the Egoist Internationale in the 2030s. It was also seen as an enemy by the Xenomorphic Universal Front, whose members frequently threatened the leader of the CCUOE, Max Stirner.

World War III
The CCUOE joined World War III a few days after Colombia and Venezuela's border conflict escalated into a global conflict. The First Battle of Stirneropolis damaged the country but none of the territory that the country controlled was annexed into any other country, and damages were mostly economical. Max Stirner faked his death after the First Battle of Stirneropolis, leaving power of the country to Hideki Tojo, a close aide of Stirner, and Purificación Carpinteyro, who had escaped from Japan after she fled Russia and encountered Toshinori Yagi.

Interwar period
While the country was de jure controlled by Carpinteyro and Tojo, Stirner still privately advised them on leadership and de facto controlled the country.

The country was mostly neutral on geopolitics and had much less of a global influence. It shortly returned to actively participating geopolitics during the Cambodian Crisis, sending thousands of soldiers to aid Max Stirner, who had returned, in his cause to defeat the Khmer Rogue.

World War IV
Due to Stirner's return, the HEF planned to eliminate all of the Egoist Internationale as it was too big of a threat with Stirner alive, sparking World War IV. The Second Battle of Stirneropolis ended up as the biggest battle in history and following a fight with the Avengers Initiative, Stirner faked his death once again. A few hours after this battle, Venezuela used a Destruye-Paises and detonated it in the middle of the Chadian desert, essentially evaporating most of the country and killing dozens of millions of Egoist Betoians, Chadians, and Central Africans. The country was mostly destroyed, and the only surviving areas being savannas in the south of the country, which were annexed into bordering Democratic Republic of Congo.
