The Non-Democratic Republic of the Kongo (Kongo Empire)

Ancient Kingdom (Pre-Lutera)
Old Kongo is one of the most ancient civilizations known to man. It was founded on the banks of the Kongo river at about 8000 B.C, around the same time that Emperor OtterSmash McWarriorsTrash was born. It was an agricultural society whose people grew crops such as Maize and Potatoes. Not much is known about the architecture of the ancient kingdom, but in ancient cave art it appears similar to the multi-houses of the Pueblo.

Lutera and Militarization
The imperial coup in the Kongo is often regarded as the end of the ancient kingdom and the beginning of the Lutera, or modern era. The Kongo was transformed from a small agricultural kingdom into an industrial empire under Emperor OtterSmash McWarriorsTrash.

Conquest of Sub-Saharan Africa
Under the leadership of Emperor OtterSmash, the Kongo expanded its borders far beyond what anyone could have imagined. It stretched from the Atlantic in the west, to the mountains of Ethiopia in the east, to the plains of South Africa in the south, and to the deserts of Egypt in the north. It's military is unmatched in Africa, only rivaled by The Guidan Empire. Several decisive victories allowed to Kongo to gobble all rivaling kingdoms, including Loango, Abyssinia, and even Portuguese Angola.
