Ethiopia

The Ethiopian Empire, otherwise known as Abyssinia or just Ethiopia, is a country in East Africa. It is an absolute monarchy ruled by Emperor Haile Selassie since 1930. For the most part, Ethiopia has enjoyed solitude away from colonial rule, having previously beaten the Kingdom of Italy and proving its might as a local power. Recently, however, the country has felt threatened due to the rise in Italian colonial power, especially under the leadership of Benito Mussolini and his ideals of Fascism.

While not largely an international figurehead, Ethiopia (along with Liberia) has been recognised as an influential voice in Africa, with Haile Selassie himself at the forefront of much of Africa's leading politics.
