| — Description of forming Fang Federation |
The Fang Federation was a formable of 
Equatorial Guinea in Southwest Africa 
. It borders 
Cameroon and the 
Republic of Congo. It was removed from the game on the update of November 11, 2022, along with many other African formables.
Background[]
The Fang Federation is based on the Fang people. The Fang people, also known as Fãn or Pahouin, are a Central African ethnic group found in Equatorial Guinea, northern Gabon, and southern Cameroon. Representing about 85% of the total population of Equatorial Guinea, concentrated in the Río Muni region, the Fang people are its largest ethnic group.
The Fang people are relatively recent migrants into the Equatorial Guinea, and many of them moved from central Cameroon in the 19th century.
Early ethnologists conjectured them to be Nilotic peoples from the upper Nile area, but a combination of evidence now places them to be of Bantu origins who began moving back into Africa around the seventh or eighth century possibly because of invasions from the north and the wars of West Africa and sub-Saharan Africa. Their migration may be related to an attempt to escape the violence of slave raiding by the Hausa people, but this theory has been contested.
The Fang people were victims of the large transatlantic and trans-Saharan slave trade between the 16th and 19th century. They were stereotyped as cannibals by slave traders and missionaries, in part because human skulls and bones were found in open or in wooden boxes near their villages, a claim used to justify violence against them and their enslavement. When their villages were raided, thousands of their wooden idols and villages were burnt by the slave raiders.
Terrain[]
Fang Federation's terrain was entirely flat.
Strategy[]
Fang Federation was quite easy to form, although it may be difficult when Gabon is a player, but if not you can easily get through. 1st, you can make some troops to at - least outnumber their amount of troops due to how that's all you can afford right now, cause of how you don't have any square cities for tanks. Make artillery to get some damage out of them and train your troops, but before that you might need to make electronic factories to prevent deficit or debt. Justify, then while waiting train your troops then eventually declare war. Take their troops down [with research of infantry] and use the artillery to do some good damage, after that eventually split your troops then take the capital, you don't need to do anything else, just do capture all with the cities and after that you're done.
Threats[]
Democratic Republic of the Congo may be a threat- Nigeria may also be a threat
- Gabon needs you to form Empire of Gabon
- Spain might want to form Spanish Empire
- Any country in Africa attempting to form African Union
