Default African countries OOB

I usually goes by cannon for that but, in my opinion, a number of countries survived despite the war. Nevertheless, the situation is generaly chaotic with pirates in western Mediterranea, off the coast of Morocco, in the Gulf of Aden, around Cape Town and around Zanzibar.

Libya was subjected to nukes and conventional bombing and Tripoli was reduced to rubble. However, a large number of nomads (including Khadaffi) and isolated communties survived. A new capital was established at Sirte, a small refinery and several oil wells survived.
