AFRICA
The "God's Window" escarpment in the Drakensberg Mountains, Mpumalanga, South Africa
Call me Africa. You took your first steps on my soil, and you became human in my lands. Today, one billion, or about 15% of your species, live within my territory. I am an immense land, covering 6% of the Earth's surface area. I overflow with magnificent jungles, forests, grasslands, mountains, lakes, deserts, rivers, exceptional fauna, flora, and countless human cultures.
I have a reputation for danger. It is true that I am home to some very dangerous animals, and I possess some of the world's most hazardous terrain. However, the most harmful force within me is you. Your species is so variable; each of you is capable of both unspeakable savagery and unadulterated good. My people's brutal histories of colonization, war, poverty, and the extreme environments of my lands have often led to violence and crime.
Nevertheless, the rewards of experiencing me far outweigh the risks of traveling my challenging roads. Those with an insatiable hunger for exploration come to me, and I am eager to welcome you.
