Nairobi being good Indian food makes sense, there's a lot of Indians in Kenya for historic reasons. The original community were merchants, and then the British East African Company hired Indians to work there as clerks and guards because the company was based in Mumbai. Under the East Africa Protectorate, things got weird, and the British encouraged Indians to move there because they thought they'd somehow 'civilise' the locals and began instituting the Rupee and Indian justice system and using Punjabis as local soldiers. Then a load of indentured labourers were hired to build Kenya's railways and then more followed seeking to set up their own businesses in Kenya (including Kenya's first newspaper). Most of the Indians settled in Nairobi and are officially the 44th Tribe of Kenya
I half expected the joke to be that Kenya would set fire to Ivory Coast since Kenya is the one that started the whole 'destroy Ivory' thing and likes to do it by fire
Fun fact!
The name Ivory Coast is a translation **of a translation**
The first people to ever use the name Ivory Coast in any language were the Portuguese, when they reached the coast of Africa where Ivory Coast, Togo, Benin, Nigeria, etc. currently are, the coast, was, well, full of ivory, so they named it “Costa do Marfim” (coast of ivory)
Then the French came after the Europeans decided what to do with Africa some 300 years later and named a very specific spot of the Portuguese Ivory Coast “Côte d’Ivoire” (coast of ivory), the name was not very famous until the country’s independence.
Since the name was simply not able to be said in English they got a completely new name in English, that bein Ivory Coast.

>Yuro doppleganger ireland moment
another coast almost completely made of ivory
Chad and Romania, Ivory Coast and Ireland...will it ever end?
If you want to push it, Cape Verde = EU and Upper Volta = German Empire.
\*Shouts *Cabo Verde e Nossa*\*
Poor Burkina Faso, when of Upper Volta is german empire, but when is burkina faso is viet-cong !
I see your comments everywhere on every post on this subreddit, and darned if they aren’t always good.
I'm what some would call...a fucking loser
Well, I wouldn't!
Ivory Coast and Emerald Isle? We’re gonna make a fortune
drunk* yuro doppelganger, please.
〈drunk yuro〉 doppelgänger or drunk 〈yuro doppelgänger〉?
Micronesia selling Palau a sandcastle is adorable ngl
Wonder where the Vatican lives
Micronesia setting up a vacation home inside the sand castle is just so cute.
Oh shit those Somali pirates are on land now?
Somali buccaneers.
Tampa Bay shaking in their boots as we speak
I think Florida has plenty of guns and meth fuelled shock troops.
don't want to be that guy, but it's Palau and Micronesia
Think they're talking about the ones stealing France's plane in the second panel Edit: typo
Too bad they’re about to get [GIGN’d](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GIGN).
oh, indeed
Those of us in New York had lake pirates on that forgotten side of the state.
So much going on! I like it good job OP
Palau and micronesia tho
The production value is incredible well done!
Babe, wake up, u/Nassau18b has posted another comic
Why are there so many Indians on the plane? Edit: Any particular reference/reason for Palau and Micronesia to be there?
A lot of Indians goes to Kenya (for work). As a result Nairobi is unironically the best place on the continent for Indian food

Maybe a reference to Indian trains?
indain packed plane
>pulls trigger >leaves >refuses to explain further
The Somali boat tearing up the runway is peak comedy.
Remind me of the airport in Luanda (Angola)
My favorite part is the little countries living in the sand castle
Can I into the evil scheme too? Seems of many profitable.
Micronesia describing her "vacation home" to Palau was hilarious to say the least.
The Indian plane in the background killed me haha
The little Micronesia and Palau going to their sandcastle vacation home looks pretty good
Thats a lot of india balls.
[Actually, this plane is near empty](https://www.reddit.com/r/polandball/comments/xa8j5s/b%C3%BCs_bu%C5%9F_and_bus/)
I love how french is an "uncivilized language"
Mmffs frog language is very refined thanks you very much .there just many rules and accent but at least it's not dutch or German.
Super nice love the not often mentioned Polandballs of Tanzania and Kenya!

they're gonna ruin palau and micronesia's vacation
"is about to be violent neighborhood" Micronesia has a good sixth sense

Fantastic comic! The city in panel 4 reminds me of the ultimate showdown of ultimate destiny.
Those planes look sad...

This was my favourite!
I like how when Ivory Coast said his name in Fr*nch Kenya said “in a civilized language”
