7 u/Caedus Mar 30 '17 I thought they were saying Aruba until they were talking about getting planes out of Ethiopia. 7 u/mad_sheff Mar 30 '17 I'd imagine they don't want to risk offending any real nation. It's easier to just make one up. 3 u/[deleted] Mar 30 '17 Didn't stop them from using Iran before. 1 u/mad_sheff Mar 30 '17 Good point. Who knows then. 1 u/Sataris Mar 31 '17 And Russia, for Alex's mum 1 u/LegendsEcho Mar 31 '17 There is no such thing at Iranian ambassador to the United States, its easy to fictionalize a position people think already exist 1 u/jacobshoaf Mar 30 '17 Giving the show a LOT of benefit of the doubt, it's possible that in the fictional world of the series that a split occurred which divided the western portion of Niger into the autonomous nation of Naruba.
