The Factbook includes:</p>
<ul>
<li>historical, political, and  topographical maps for the region</li>
<li>a detailed history of the area</li>
<li>individual profiles of the five countries of Kisawa: Carana, Katasi, Mosana, Namuna, Rimosa, and Sumora.</li>
</ul>
<p>It is an outstanding resource for anyone who wants a ready-made setting in which to conduct a simulation on fragile and conflict-prone countries.</p>

<p>UPDATE: Much of the materials for Amani Africa are now offline. However, I have <a href="https://paxsims.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/carana_long_version_english.pdf">archived the Carana scenario on PAXsims</a>.</p>
