As you all know, Jean-Bedel Bokassa, the former president of the Central African Republic was an idiotic maniac. He crowned himself the New Napoleon and renamed his country the Central African Empire. He also spent a third of this country's annual income in the ceremony and reportedly fed human flesh to the French Ambassador. After this, I began to wonder if he was more pragmatic and managed to improve the lifestyle of the common Central African. Maybe he could've intervened in the Chad civil war to expand his country or just decide to keep his nation a republic.
PS: He can still be a evil dictator who feeds political prisoners to zoo animals
