If we made them a colony it would. The reason they wouldn't be annexed is because it is easier to oversee a colony then having it as part of Unojo's mainland. Also the ethnic divide would be a problem and might reintroduced The 3 Clase System. Overall, it is too much work with little pay off.

I feel like a unified africa still wouldn’t be as powerful as the United States.

If the unified Africa focused on a policy of fiscal conservatism - limiting the size of the government, low taxes and giving tax cuts to businesses to foster domestic industries, putting tariffs on foreign imports, and limiting foreign investment - I believe it would be very powerful with time.

How come?

Or the wildly different cultures.

With the right rhetoric, wildly different cultures can be unified.

Yes, but through history, many problems with multi ethnic nations appear because of the cultural differences.

Multi-ethnic empires fail usually because of lack of representation of the ethnics, or the suppression of the ethnics within that region.

You got it partially correct. Tariffs are only good for funding the government that slaps them on everything. And without foreign investment, are you suggesting they start from scratch and rerun the last two hundred years so they can get up to speed on industry? There isn’t a first world country that doesn’t have some sort of foreign investment, either in knowledge, money, or resources. Plus you have to define Africa, are we talking the entire continent, Sub-Sahara, Madagascar?
