Ah yes, the Belgium Congo - a location known for wide turning circles and nice flat, even road surfaces.
The Belgians made so much money from slave-harvested rubber that they indeed built decent highways and other infrastructure. Of course, those weren't for the indigenous population, only motor vehicles could use them. After the revolution, the nation had no finance, expertise and stability to maintain them.
How does this even turn?
The picture makes me think that both the front and middle wheels turn.
With great difficulty
With the two front sets of wheels and not very well I would imagine.
And I'm sure everyone traveling in such a vehicle would be happily welcomed by the local population considering the friendly nature of Leopold mere decades earlier.
Not pictured (and sold separately) is all the machinery needed to make the longest and straightest roads, bridges, and tunnels ever.
We’ve always hated the planet, but we used to do it with such STYLE!
