Slayerhero90 was the username I came up with when I needed a RuneScape account, and I've just stuck with it.

Interesting, GreatWyrmGold was the name I came up with when signing up for the GiTP forums, and I've stuck with it ever since.

Europe is a continent, and let's start small...say, some little country with a horrible dictator and good natural resources.

Also by the sea, and with poor-as-africans neighbors. Maybe something in Africa?

Congo is not much of a Republic. You got a lot of rebels, there might have been fraud in the elections(The current president father died in a failed coup), the governement is completely corrupt and the HDI index* is downright disastrous.(The worst living conditions in the entire world) There's an UN force however, though those haven't been doing much lately. There isn't much wrong you can do there.

Also, in respective sizes; Equatorial Guinea(Which btw, doesn't lie on the equator) is about the size of Belgium. Congo is larger than France, and is infact the eleventh largest in the world. Congo is also considered the nation with the most natural wealth, and the second poorest country on Earth. Really, we can't do much wrong there.(We can probably, but I don't need you to prove that).

*0.5 for Guinea; 0.2 for Congo.

I would think that the rebels of the Congo would be ill-equipped and almost completely untrained - if we get a few tanks into the area, we probably can get them to surrender and continue fighting on our side.

Also, have I posted this yet?

There rebels are quiet well funded. They control several diamond mines, and might be sponsored by Ruwanda/ Other neighbouring country. Also, your tanks are going to be in serious trouble. Congo is mostly forests and mud.

It must be near the equator, or YOU would have got rid of it from the list.
Equatorial Guinea may be smaller, but sometimes smaller is better.
It also isn't landlocked (or I'm thinking of somewhere else).
Has the President of the congo been 'elected' worst dictator of the year?
Also, the pres. also has one of the largest amounts of personal funds of a head of state. Lots of money up for grabs.

Quite well funded? They can't be better than the Taliban, and boy do those suck: There's a story about a battle where a few Americans were wounded and a couple Afghani soldiers killed. Taliban body count: Close to two hundred. And that was while having the coalition forces pinned down at a cliff for half a day without air or artillery  support.
And don't think the diamond money goes exclusively into their military actions: Lots of others are making money off that trade, too. A better cash cow would be drug trade, anyway. Or counterfeit rhino's horn, to be used in Chinese medicine!
