Chad is a Tier II nation located in Central Africa 
.
Background
Archaeologists believe that the northern area of Chad was settled as long ago as 6000 BC. There are archaeological sites in the Borkou, Ennedi, and Tibesti areas that date back to 2000 BC. The earliest civilization was the Sao. The Sao were overtaken later by the 
Kanem Empire, which went on to become the strongest empire formed in the area of modern-day Chad.
Europeans arrived in Chad in the late 1800s and the 
French Empire began to take control in the early 1900s. In 1920 the French fully colonized Chad, making it part of the French Equatorial Africa, also called the AEF. Chad remained a colony for many years until it gained independence on August 11, 1960. The first president of Chad was Francis Tombalvaye, who was lead of the main political party, the PPT.
Unfortunately, the history of Chad has since been marred by constant civil war and unrest.

Chad starts with 20,000 infantry stationed on the capital, Ndjamena. This is not enough to invade any of your neighbors except for the 
Central African Republic, so use your manpower reserves wisely. However, Chad's capital Ndjamena will become a square city in less than a year due to population growth.
Chad starts with a manpower cap of 60,000, with a manpower gain of 264. Chad's starting Conscription Law is volunteer.
In other words, Chad is One of the OP nations In Africa behind Egypt and Nigeria.

Geography
Terrain
Chad consists of mostly flat terrain, except for the southwest point of the country which is Hilly.
Biome
The north of the country is Arid and part of the mighty Sahara Desert, which will protect you from invading armies from the north by giving troops a lot of attrition. The southern half of Chad has no biome.
Borders
Chad borders the countries of Central African Republic, 
Cameroon, 
Nigeria, 
Libya, 
Sudan, and 
Niger.
Threats
- Nigeria is Chad's biggest threat, due to it needing Chad for the
Sokoto Caliphate. 
France may try to form the difficult French Empire, for which it requires Chad.- Any nation attempting to form the
African Union. - Libya attempting to form
Senusiyya.
Formables
Chad has three formables:
Strategy
First, build an electronic, steel, motor, and fertilizer factory. Justify on the CAR and Niger. Get a general to get your home guard to be as powerful as possible. Research factory output and sell electronics to support your economy. Declare on CAR first and justify on 
South Sudan and 
Burkina Faso next. Get consumer factories as soon as possible. Ndjamena will become a square city very fast so don't make infantry, just wait for tanks. Invade Niger with your tanks and invade West Africa for more manpower and money. Keep invading West Africa until you're ready to invade Nigeria. Invade Cameroon before Nigeria so you can form Kanem Empire immediately after Nigeria falls. After Nigeria is done, your manpower will increase much faster. Invade the required stuff for the 
United States of Latin Africa. Then, invade 
South Africa for much more population, resources, and square cities. Then just keep invading countries until you form African Union. Forming the African Union will grant you the Rebel Skin. If Nigeria is a player, you're most likely dead. Beg, plead, make unfunny chad jokes, just try as hard as you can to prevent Nigeria from invading in the early game. A good unit to make for defense is aircraft, as they are the most powerful while also cheap enough that your nation can handle. Have fun!
