**The NCAU**, officially known as the **North and Central African Union** (Arabic: *اتحاد شمال ووسط إفريقيا*) is a country located in the northern and central part of Africa. It consists of 12 states, a federal district, and a major unincorporated territory. The North and Central African Union is the second largest country by both land and total area. It shares borders with the Democratic Peoples' Republic of Mali, Republic of Equatoria, Federal Parliamentary Republic of Zanaria, the Arab Republic of Egypt, the Kingdom of Morocco, the Federal Republic of Sahara, and the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia. It shares maritime borders with Spain, Sardegna, Criti, Sicilia, South Greece, North Saudi Arabia, and South Saudi Arabia. With a population of over 520 million, it is the most populous country in Africa, and is the third most populous country in the world, just behind China and India. The capital of the North and Central African Union is Abullia and its most populous city and financial center is Kinshasa.

For thousands of years, native Africans roamed the land, but in the early 1800s began European settlement of Africa, known as the "Scramble for Africa". After years of tyranny and persecution, Africa had fully decolonized by the year of 1960. As new African nations began to put their feet on the ground, the Cuban Missile Crisis began in October of 1962 overseas in North America. The tensions led to the beginning of World War III later that month; it caused many nations to declare war on each other. In fear of an invasion in Africa, the African Defense Coalition (ADC) was formed between Algeria and Tunisia with the signing of the Deal of Century. During the following months the war grew more intense, and the countries of Nigeria, Chad, Sudan, the Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Cameroon, and Uganda signed the Deal of Century and joined the ADC. The ADC began Project Callaway, a long with an economic union between the ADC's member states. The goal of Project Callaway was to research to build weapons for the purpose of defense, and if need, offense. Project Callaway led to weapons such as the ADC-108 Mosquito and the PL44 Liberator tank.

By 1966, three nuclear weapons had already been used in the war. One on San Fransico, United States, one on Austin, Lone Star Republic, and another on Osaka, People's Republic of Japan. The ADC's planners were attempting to organize a nuclear weapons program, but many of the ADC's member states were taking issue. Many of the member states feared that a fellow member state may go rouge and launch a nuclear weapon at another member state. The situation was not, but only worsening, especially with the leaders of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) considering leaving the ADC and joining the Defense Pact of Zanaria; they were considering leaving because the DPZ had a nuclear weapons program underway. The nuclear situation was not the only problem that had risen within the ADC. There were also issues over the economic entanglement of the member states.

By the middle of 1966, the ADC was on the brink of collapse due to member states disagreeing heavily, but its popularity among member states governments began to grow. Around that time, the United Arab Republic (UAR) began an invasion of Sudan. Only a few days after the UAR started its invasion of Sudan, the Republic of Mali began an invasion of Algeria and Chad, and the recently united Federal Republic of Zanaria began to invade the DRC. Although the forces of the ADC preformed well against the invasions, the opposing forces began to become too much.

By early 1967, the member states were severely damaged by the invasions and many people had either starved to death or had been killed in attacks, resulting in civil unrest. Nasir Radi, head of the ADC gave a speech broadcasted on radio calling for an African union and for the people to unite. It was seen as no other option, and the member states of the ADC united to form the African Union. With all the people united and finally fully cooperating with one another, the tides began to shift. More resources began to be supplied internally and dependency on foreign supply dramatically decreased. In April of that year, Nasir Radi was elected president, the Title of Protections and Rights was enacted, and African Union Nuclear Weapons Program (AUNWP) was started. By 1970, most foreign invaders had been repelled, especially with the creation of the BM-12 Scavenger, the PL1 Liberator II, and Kinshasa-class destroyers.
