The Resume

    (November 11, 1975- )
    Capital is Luanda
    Almost twice the size of Texas
    Population is smaller than Ohio
    Gained independence from Portugal
    Borders Namibia, Zambia, Republic of the Congo and Democratic Republic of the Congo

Why Angola might be annoying:

    Since independence, there are civil wars needing UN peacekeeping forces.
    Infant mortality rate is extremely high (at least one in eight babies do not survive).
    Angolan men only live to 45 and women to just 50.
    Only half the men can read and write, and only a quarter of the women have that ability. In the '70s less than 5% of Angolans could read and write.
    Cocaine and heroin are transferred through Angola.
    Many Angolans were shipped to Brazil as slaves. Actually, many of the new world slaves came from Angola.

Why Angola might not be annoying:

    It is home of the Welwitschia plant, which looks like an octopus and lives 1,000 years.
    The country is plentiful in gold, uranium, diamonds, iron ore, copper and petroleum.
    If you have $4, you can get over a million kwanza (their currency).
    Angola gets its name from the African King N'gola.
