LOOL

Looking at you, South Africa and Nigeria, who always seem to pull out of the X-COM Project.

QuoteBut we don't have enough radar coverage

Yeah, well, neither does Australia and they're fine.  *native Australian fauna stampede and/or envenom every alien who has the audacity to land*  Besides, everyone knows that Berlin is the optimal first base location.

QuoteBut you didn't help us enough during the Terror missions

Yeah, well, it was either Lagos or New York City.  Or Cape Town or Beijing.  Do you have an idea how many people live in Beijing?  Or the political fallout of not aiding China?  The cold hard reality is that there are three major political/industrial centers in the world that must be protected at all costs - North America's north-eastern seaboard, West Europe (specifically, the Big Four), and East Asia (Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Macao, Seoul, Tokyo, etc)  Protecting everything else is nice, but not strictly necessary.

So yeah, Lagos is getting the B-Team.  It's called realpolitik.

Three fifths the cost!

A real mother.
