Explanation;

╰─➤ Nyamwezi people are Indigenous peoples ancestrally from different parts od Tanzania. There are historically five ethnic groups who refer to themselves as Nyamwezi, Kimbu, Konogo, Nyamwezi, Sumbwa, and Sukuma. Sukuma is the largest ethnic group in Tanzania so I made her the mother. 

╰─➤ Tanzania represented Tanganyika, Tankanyika Territory, and German East Africa.

╰─➤ Sultanate of Zanzibar, Republic of Zanzibar, and Zanzibar are the same person as well.

╰─➤ Sultanate of Zanzibar is not related to Nyamwezi, she has ancestry primarily from Oman. She has some bantu ancestry on her mother's side and ancestry to Hadimu, but she is primarily Omani. Her father is the Omani Empire.

╰─➤ Zanzibar and Tanzania are married rather than them be the same representation or biologically related because its meant to represent the Zanzibar and Tanganyika merge in 1964.

Appearance; Tanzania has melasma. His primary skin tone is dark cedar toned, but he has darker brown patches on his cheeks, forehead, and temple. He has buzzed 4c curly hair hidden under a do-rag bandana with his flag design printed on it. Hes a muscular man with a mesomorph body. He wears a bright red tank top with a white bandana around his neck and 3 tight wrist bands on his right arm in the colour order gold–black–gold. He wears gray boxershorts but has a bright red asymmetrical skirt (not necessarily a skirt, more a belt that hangs on his hips with fabric hanging off diagonally cut down to his shin. The fabric starts at the belly button & spine then goes diagonally and had its longest point at the side.) (I am actually struggling to describe my invision.) (It's like the thing Esméralda wears in the Hunchback of Notre-Dame)
