It seems good. I could see a population that large in a North African state, if there are big landscape projects restoring the fertility of the North African coast (which would happen with a large Francophone population that France actually cares about) and some food is imported.
That's what I was thinking about, actually. The landscape is completely different in this TL.
However, I'm not sure if there's much of a point to doing a history. Too few people are interested in this project and we'd never finish.
Yeah, I know that, but I had a nice time writing it. I don't know if I'm going to make a history for the other countries I posted, though. Just thought the North African Republic was an interesting idea, so I've added a little history behind it.
