Liberia is an absolutely wild country, America's only formal colony (as opposed to its many, many de facto colonies in the 19th and 20th century) founded by Americans who thought black slaves should be sent back to Africa, and ruled by members of the free African American Bourgoisie. Of course no one told the people already living there, and the consequences of having a massive extractive divide between settler colonists and African cultures in the interior has had no negative effects whatsoever.

Brits drawing straight lines on maps wish they could create a country half as fucked up by design as Liberia.
