- The Democratic Republic of the Congo is not really democratic. Or a republic. In fact, it's in Africa, so it's probably not real at all. Don't worry. It doesn't really matter anyway. Stephen knows there isn't a war over there because no one talks about it. Truthiness has spoken.
- The Democratic Republic of the Congo has a GDP per capita of only $348, and an HDI of 0.286. It has a life expectancy of 46.5 years. It also has the world's second highest rate of infant mortality, after Chad. 115.81 babies die out of 1000 live births. Congo-Kinshasa is a large country located at the center of Africa. The land is largely rainforest. The Congo River flows through it, and is part of the border between it and Congo-Brazzaville. The country used to be known as Zaire.
- Although citizens of the DRC are among the poorest in the world, having the second lowest nominal GDP per capita, the Democratic Republic of Congo is widely considered to be the richest country in the world regarding natural resources; its untapped deposits of raw minerals are estimated to be worth in excess of US$ 24 trillion.
- The name Democratic Republic of the Congo was adopted in 1997. The land was formerly, in chronological order, the Congo Free State, Belgian Congo, Congo-Léopoldville, Congo-Kinshasa, and Zaire. In most Harry Turtledove works, the DR Congo is still the Belgian Congo.

- Democratic Republic of the Congo (République démocratique du Congo in French) is the third largest country of Africa and it was formerly a Belgian colony - known as Zaire or Zaïre in French. Literally, Congo means a river, perhaps an apt description of the land and the people as traditionally hunting must be the main livelihood of the people. The word is derived from the Bakongo ethnic group, living in the Congo river basin. After gaining independence, it became the Republic of Congo. However, it changed its name to the Democratic Republic of (the) Congo to differentiate its name from the neighbouring country of the same name, Republic of Congo. The Democratic Republic of Congo shares its borders with the Central African Republic, Sudan, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, Zambia, and Angol

- Established as a Belgian colony in 1908, the Republic of the Congo gained its independence in 1960, but its early years were marred by political and social instability. Col. Joseph MOBUTU seized power and declared himself president in a November 1965 coup. He subsequently changed his name - to MOBUTU Sese Seko - as well as that of the country - to Zaire. MOBUTU retained his position for 32 years through several sham elections, as well as through brutal force. Ethnic strife and civil war, touched off by a massive inflow of refugees in 1994 from fighting in Rwanda and Burundi, led in May 1997 to the toppling of the MOBUTU regime by a rebellion backed by Rwanda and Uganda and fronted by Laurent KABILA. He renamed the country the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), but in August 1998 his r
- The Democratic Republic Of Congo (or Zaire) is ruled by President Kaiba, who was elected in 2004 with a massive 96% of the popular vote (in Zaire). This was a very democratic election, with every male aged over 16 allowed to vote (or in Zaire). The opposition candidate waged a low-key campaign from an unmarked grave in the cellar of the Presidential Palace in Kinshasa. The reasoning for the 96% total from two votes is the current innumeracy rate, which stands at 126%. President Kaiba follows a fairly liberal policy (for the region) and has only executed 13,000,000 dissidents in the past month and a half. Vice President Mallaaaiaris is in overall charge of the military, but is generally loyal to his brother except for that time he tried to kill him. On November 27, 2006, he was confirmed as
