Liberia

Liberia: colonized in 1822 by freed African American slaves; founded in 1847 with the support of the US government. It's larger than Cuba, and Singapore and the United Arab Emirates, and even bigger than Israel.

The nation is basically sibling to the United States. And yet we rarely hear of it, even in the history books.

Hm.
