Tuareg Confederation of Azawad
The Tuareg Confederation of Azawad is a country located in West Africa. They are bordered by the the Malian State and the Sultanate of Sokoto to the south, the Algerian Military Territory to the north, the Sultanate of Aïr to the east and the Iberian Union and the Islamic State of Mauritania to the west.
History
The Tuareg Confederation of Azawad was created under the impulsion of Attahar Ag III and his son Intalla ag Attaher when the French colonial empire collapsed. However, the Germans quickly put in place a bombing campaign that destroyed the towns of the Confederation forcing the Tuaregs to flee into the desert. Even worse, their leader Attahar Ag III died. But Intalla ag Attaher soon replaced the founder of the Confederation and rebuilt the Tuareg state.
In 1962, the Tuareg Confederation of Azawad has advantages and disadvantages. Its people have become masters in the art of mastering the desert. However, the Confederation lacks a state structure and its stability is particularly fragile.

Luftwaffe Terror Bombing
Launched from airfields in Südwestafrika, the German Luftwaffe regularly launch missions across western Africa, indiscriminately bombing both civilian and military targets as a demented form of 'pilot training'. Only along the coast do those few scattered cities with sufficient anti-air capabilities keep the Luftwaffe at bay, with none in the region capable of beating back this enemy permanently. This leaves the Germans with near impunity to strike the towns and farmlands further inland, crippling west African growth until this nightmare can finally end.

Tuareg Heritage
Azawad is not a nation so much as it is a tribal confederation, an alliance of the Tuareg tribes of the southwestern Sahara. The government isn't decentralized, it simply doesn't exist. Individual tribes roam the desert, migrating across the sands as they have done for centuries. Without significant reform and centralization, Azawad will never be remembered as anything other than a temporarily unclaimed region of western Africa.

Saharan Nomads
The Sahara is a brutal environment, where only the hardiest forms of life can survive. The Tuareg tribes of Azawad are masters of this hostile landscape, making as much of a home of it as anyone could. Centuries of passed-down experience have given them a greater understanding of the desert than any outsider could ever hope to attain.
