| — Description of forming Kingdom of Kongo |
The Kingdom of Kongo is an African formable that is centered along the Congo River. Due to the alarmingly small manpower of the 
Bas-Congo, it is a tedious task to form this formable, although not hard, if neighbour players are absent. It was removed from the game on the update of November 11, 2022, along with many other African formables, but has been re-added in the next border update on 21nd November 2022, making it the first formable to be re-added into the game after being removed.
It borders 
Gabon, 
Republic of Congo, 
Democratic Republic of the Congo and 
Angola.
Background[]
|
The Kingdom of Kongo was a kingdom located in central Africa in present-day northern Angola, the western portion of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Republic of the Congo as well as the southernmost part of Gabon. At its greatest extent it reached from the Atlantic Ocean in the west to the Kwango River in the east, and from the Congo River in the north to the Kwanza River in the south. The kingdom consisted of several core provinces ruled by the Manikongo, the Portuguese version of the Kongo title Mwene Kongo, meaning "lord or ruler of the Kongo kingdom", but its sphere of influence extended to neighbouring kingdoms, such as Ngoyo, Kakongo, Loango, Ndongo and Matamba, the latter two located in what was Angola today. From c. 1390 to 1857 it was mostly an independent state. From 1857 to 1914 it functioned as a vassal state of the Kingdom of Portugal. In 1914, following the Portuguese suppression of a Kongo revolt, Portugal abolished the titular monarchy. The title of king of Kongo was restored in 1915. The remaining territories of the kingdom were assimilated into the colony of Angola and the Protectorate of Cabinda respectively. The modern-day Bundu dia Kongo sect favors reviving the kingdom through secession from Angola, the Republic of the Congo, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Gabon. |
