Civilopedia entry[]
As part of the region once known as the "Spice Islands," Zanzibar, found in Tanzania in East Africa, has long captured the eye of traders sailing from around the world. At one time, Zanzibar was the world's leading producer of cloves, in addition to a number of other spices including nutmeg and cinnamon. In the modern day, Zanzibar is also heavily reliant on the tourism industry, which provides a steady income in addition to the agricultural industries.
