What if Republic of the Congo broke into pieces?

Republic of the Congo fell in 2179, taken by Cameroon.

The year is 2026, and Republic of the Congo splits apart overnight, city by city. Nobody touches anything after that: 300 years of history, left to play out.

Of 133 countries put through the same fate, 47 fell. Republic of the Congo outlasted 25 of them.
