WAKANDA: OUR HOME

Wakanda is a fictional African nation appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. It is the most prominent of several native African nations and home to the superhero Black Panther.
Wakanda is located in East Africa, although its exact location has varied throughout the nation's publication history: some sources place Wakanda just north of Tanzania while others – such as Marvel Atlas– show it at the north end of Lake Turkana, in between South Sudan, Uganda, Kenya, Somalia and Ethiopia (and surrounded by fictional countries like Azania, Canaan, and Narobia). In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, on-screen maps use the location given in Marvel Atlas. In recent stories by writer Ta-Nehisi Coates, Wakanda is located on Lake Victoria, near Mohannda, Canaan, Azania and Niganda.

There are several theories for the Wakanda name, the name may be inspired by a god called Wakanda, Wakonda or Waconda of Native Americans from the Great Plains, or Wakandas, a fictional African tribe of Edgar Rice Burroughs' novel The Man-Eater, written in 1915 but published posthumously in 1957, or the Kenyan tribe Kamba, Akamba or Wakamba, or the word "kanda", which means family in kikongo.

Before the emergence of the wakanda nation mystic beings known as originators were expelled from the region by the orishas the pantheon of wakanda composed by thoth ptah mujaji kokou and bast the panther goddess. In the distant past a massive meteorite made up of the sound-absorbing element vibranium crashed in wakanda and is unearthed a generation before the events of the present day tchalla the current black panther is the son of tchaka the black panther before him and a descendant of bashenga knowing that others would attempt to manipulate and dominate wakanda for this rare and valuable resource tchaka conceals his country from the outside world he sells off minute amounts of the valuable vibranium while surreptitiously sending the countrys best scholars to study abroad consequently turning wakanda into one of the worlds most technologically advanced nation.

Due to its intentional isolationism, Wakandan technology has, until recently, developed entirely independently of that of the rest of the world. As such, the design philosophies and methodologies are different and often incompatible with conventional equipment. Wakanda is the world's most technologically advanced country. For example, Wakandan computer technology is more powerful than that of the rest of the world and completely immune to outside hacking, as it is not based on binary electronics; it can, however, emulate the behavior of such electronics at hugely enhanced efficiencies, allowing it to easily hack almost any conventional system. Vibranium was used liberally in Wakandan technology, but the recent destruction of all Vibranium has forced large-scale redesigns.
