Tanzania (Earth-5875)

Tanzania, officially the United Republic of Tanzania, is an East African country, in the East African Protectorate, on Earth.

Early history
Tanzania was founded in 1964, after its territory was formed in an union with the territory of Tanganyika and the Zanzibar archipelago. The leader of independence Julius Nyerere became the ruler of the country with the assistance of Abeid Amaan Karumel. By the 24th century, Tanzania became one of the countries to compose the East African Protectorate, alongside Kenya and Ethiopia. In 2467, the EAP re-nationalized many private corporations that were formerly under state control on Tanzania. Through its history, the UNSC established many of its bases, using the natural defenses of Mount Kilimanjaro to stay covert.

Battle of Earth
During the late Battle of Earth, on November 17th, 2552, the Prophet of Truth arrived on Earth with his forces and the remainder of the Fleet of Certain Fulfillment aboard the Dreadnought. While boarding the ship, SPARTAN-II John-117 failed to assassinate the Hierarch and was bailed from the ship, breaching Earth's atmosphere and falling into a jungle, south of Mount Kilimanjaro. Five hours later, he was found and rescued by Marines led by Sergeant Major Avery Johnson and Arbiter Thel 'Vadam.
