Some things i found that interested me about this place was... the religions(how effective missionaries are/were), natural resources(why people take interest in this place), exports(what people need from this place), and major trading partners (people who show the most interest in this place).

The Religions of DROC include- Roman Catholic 50%, Protestant 20%, Kimbanguist 10%, Islam 10%, other syncretic and indigenuous 10%.
