Someone just pointed out that this says 11 May 2020, lol. No, #SOTS will not be released in the past (in the eye of the pandemic, no less).

Release date is in MAY 2021. 11 May (US) and 13 May (UK), but all in 2021.

One of the coolest things I learned during research for #TheNamelessRepublic was how West and North Africa weren't always so separated by the Sahara. In fact, pre-colonial trade with Europe and Asia happened because North Africa could connect them to West Africa. [1]
The Sahara Desert, to start, wasn't always so large/expansive. It used to be more grassland & savanna, and less arduous to cross from North to West Africa for trade. But climate change (!) caused desertification, and now the two regions barely communicate/trade today. [2]
Trade used to happen like this: North African Berbers (esp after the rise of Muslim states) traded with Asia & Europe, then took goods into the Sahara. West Africans met with them in market-centres like Sijilmasa and traded goods for both theirs and foreign stuff. [3]

Also, all of y'all who have yelled for ARCs when they become available, thank you! (Here's looking at you @KSekouM, @RoanhorseBex, @SAChakrabooks, @TochiTrueStory, @djolder, etc.) Best believe I will take you up on that, lol.

Thanks again, everyone! Now I need a loooong nap.
