[FH] PAU

I'm going to designate two more PAU world names:

Sahel ("Resting place") --settled by Mandinga, Sorku, and other ethnic
groups from western Africa.  Religion is primarily Muslim, mixed to
some extent with pagan traditions.  Much of the habitable area is
savannah, coastal lowlands, and marsh.	The PAU draws upon Sahel for
its armor/cavalry crews and a number of pilots.  Terraforming has been
extremely successful and the agricultural sector is thriving; Sahel
also enjoys the benefits of being at the junction of several
interstellar trade routes.

emaXhoseni ("the place of the Xhosa"): settled primarily by Xhosa and
related peoples, mostly Christian, plus Khoi and San ("Bushmen").  The
livable area consists of one supercontinent with an inland sea.  The
varied terrain causes the Xhosa to build combined arms brigades rather
than specializing in one area; the burgeoning industrial base means
that they can afford to build those units, although equipment is of
course not up to the standards of the Major Powers.

While we're at it, we might as well add more details:

KwaZulu ("the place of the Zulu ") has a high degree of axial tilt,
resulting in hot summers and cool winters in the relatively small
habitable area of the planet.	Terraforming efforts have finally
allowed the planet to become agriculturally self-sufficient, although
at the cost of draining capital from industrial development.
KwaZulu's formations are short on armored vehicles and artillery; on
the plus side, KwaZulu infantry is very well regarded and is much in
demand for mercenary assault troops.
