Peak Relative GDP: 0.03% (2014) Botswana seems to have been largely outside of the pre-colonial empires of Great Zimbabwe and Rozwi.

Peak Year: 1003 BCE (1.1%) Some sources miss the Mauro-Roman Kingdom but Phersu Atlas has it. All the atlases ignore the Odjak of Algiers Revolution which ended effective Ottoman rule in 1659. I view the Vichy French regime in WW2 as still being France, as the Germans had no garrisons, control of military forces or…
