    Okay, so I don't really know you. I know that you obviously are situated south from Sudan (obviously enough), managed to secure some semblance of independence after a bloody struggle with the government, then declared independence after a referendum. Today, you are a grown-up state, ready to get into your own messes, own your own debt, invade and be invaded in turn. In theory, at least - you still haven't cleared some of the rocky issues with Big Brother. Oh, and take care of your people on your own, which is significantly harder. Good thing you have some oil, because if the statistics are to be believed, you really need some cash. Getting some doctors would be a good start, if you don't mind an outsider giving advice.

    So once more, happy birthday to the newest country in the world, and good luck. Cheers! :beer:

    I read that the North is already sharpening the machetes to cut up all the "southerners" left stranded above the new north border of South Sudan. They now have the perfect opportunity for revenge massacres against those who were on the other side during the war as they've literally been delivered to the enemy now. Another war in Sudan is just a matter of time.
