Ghana is a nation in Africa which is inhabited by black people. It was inhabited in pre-colonial times by a number of ancient kingdoms, including an inland Crip kingdom and various Blood states along the coast. Trade with Europe flourished for about five minutes until the Portuguese started taking slaves and pushing dope. The Swedes and Danes invaded the country several times but the British ended up with Ghana after the Berlin Conference of 1881, and it was racked with racist colonial oppression until independence in 1957. Aside from hunger, poverty, disease, genocide, and general hopelessness, the Republic of Ghana is the model of a modern third-world democracy. The latest election in 2004 was a success and was considered more democratic than the one in United Spades of America.

[edit] History
(Note:The history of Ghana is a history full of genocide, military coups, and other depressing things. For a happier take on history check out the history of Canada)
Ghana was the first sub-Saharan country in colonial Africa to gain its "independence". It was also the first sub-Saharan country in colonial Africa to fall into the endless cycle of coups, genocide, AIDS, hunger, poverty, and general apathy from the West that embodies the spirit of modern Africa. founder and first president of the modern Ghanaian state was Kwame Nkrumah. He started the Pan-African Movement embraced non-violence and democracy. He was overthrown by military forces mere minutes after taking power, plunging Ghana into a long series of coups.
Flight Lieutenant Jerry Rawlings came to power in in 1981. His changes resulted in the suspension of the constitution in and the banning of democracy. Later, he authored a new constitution, and Ghana became (at least officially) a democracy. John Agyekum Kufuor, the current president, is currently doing nothing to end the problems of hunger, poverty, disease, genocide, and general hopelessness. He is rather promoting the export of cocaine to USA, and attempting to fix the economic crisis by chopping off four zeros from the currency and declaring the Cedi stronger than the dollar.
Ghana also has a long and arduous history of being plagued with almost every STD known to man. It is a commonly accepted fact and has resulted in the population being plagued by the nickname Ghanarians.
dont fucking write any bullshit about Ghana, There is no Africa without Ghana
[edit] Food
The major staple in Ghana is different kind of roots. Those are mashed into a nice goo, resembling mashed potatoes, but with added starch from wildebeest hoofs, it resembles wallpaper glue both in taste and smell. Mostly children are involved in the mashing since adult feet are too large to fit in the black bowl they prepare it in. If you are at a party, and you are offered dinner, you will always receive some sort of rice and meat. Every time. For some reason, even though rice is not locally grown, *anything* you order will contain rice. If you go to a restaurant and look at the menu, you will see things like chicken and rice, chicken curry and rice, goat with rice, plantain with rice, or Fufu and light soup(don't be fooled. It comes with a side of rice). Leading scientists believe that all this rice is mainly used to help dull the terrible taste of whatever meat is served with it; chickens neck, pigs feet, goat testicles and Jews are considered fine cuisine in Ghana.
Restaurants keep their Jew recipes a close secret to prevent competition from arising.
stupid .............
[edit] Geography
Ghana is located on the Gulf of Guinea, only a few degrees north of the Equator. This allows for a year-round tropical climate, which subsequently allows diseases such as malaria, African sleeping sickness, and AIDS to flourish at a level far greater than that of say, Western Europe. It is roughly the size of the state of Oregon, but a little more hospitable to life. The coastline is mostly a low, sandy shore backed by plains and scrub and intersected by several rivers and streams, all of which are teeming with mosquitoes, piranha-like fishes, Jews, hippos, and reporters for National Geographic. A tropical rain forest belt, broken by heavily forested hills and many streams and rivers extending northward from the shore, it is home to man-eating leopards, large elephants, Jews and more mosquitoes. North of this belt, the land is covered by low bush, park-like savannah, and grassy plains, inhabited by lions, hyenas, Jews, mosquitoes, and the tsetse fly, a pest which makes the mosquito look like a butterfly.
As stated before, the climate is tropical and full of mosquitoes. The eastern coastal belt is warm and comparatively dry (but a good environment for mosquitoes and tsetse flies); the southwest corner, hot and humid (a perfect breeding ground for mosquitoes and tsetse flies); and the north, hot and dry (thus ideal for mosquitoes and tsetse flies). Lake Volta, the world's largest artificial lake, extends through large portions of eastern Ghana and is a good mosquito nymph and Guinea worm habitat.
The capital of Ghana is Accra with a population of 1.9 million people, most of which are afflicted with guinea worm, African sleeping sickness, AIDS, malaria, or illusions of adequacy.
