What if the whole world declared war on Gabon?

Gabon fell in 2212, taken by Cameroon.

The year is 2026. One morning, the entire planet declares war on Gabon. Nobody touches anything after that: 300 years of history, left to play out.

Of 133 countries put through the same fate, 56 fell. Gabon outlasted 49 of them.
