Zanzibar Land is a small heavily fortified landlocked state in Central Asia, located between the former Soviet Union, China, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. The south of the country Is mainly desert, while the north is comprised Largely of steppe, mountains, and plateaus. The climate is arid, with a large temperature difference between daytime and nighttime, with sunrises and sunsets occurring at 07:06 and 17:00, respectively. Its also composed of large quantities of forests with an abundance of species unique to Zanzibar Land. The area was formerly Tselinoyarsk or the Virgin Cliffs, housing various Soviet instillations during the time of the Cold war and nuclear testing later made famous in its roal in a classified op known as 'operation Snake Eater'. It would later become Zanzibar Province, an autonomous zone of the USSR. Opposition to the old regime mounted in the early 1990s, after the secession of the Baltic states. The period of crisis inspired nationalism in the area's leaders, who proclaimed independence in 1997. Despite military intervention by members of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), formed around Russia, the small tribal nation was able to win its sovereignty. Primary credit for the success was generally given to the mercenaries from around the world that participated in the war. Because of this, Zanzibar Land's war of independence was also known as the "Mercenary War," bringing back to global attention the profession of the gun for hire. After the war, Zanzibar Land became a heavily fortified state. It soon began to invade nuclear disposal sites across the world, seizing those weapons that were still intact, and armed itself with nuclear weapons. It then began to invade its neighboring countries at will. With Metal Gear D and an army comprised of mercenaries, Zanzibar Land became one of the world's only nuclear powers at a time of disarmament and peace.

The center of the area consisted of swampland inhabited by Indian Gavials. The mud within the swampland was highly viscous, making travel on foot hazardous, and as such, was often referred to as a bottomless swamp. Also known as "the untouched forest," Dremuchij had largely been unaffected by human activity by the early 1960s, and was so dense that large units were unable to penetrate it, making it a natural defense against enemy forces. Because of its defensive properties as a border area of Tselinoyarsk, it acted as one of the major reasons behind the development of the Sokolov Design Bureau and Groznyj Grad within Tselinoyarsk. The border to Tselinoyarsk itself was located 60 miles to the south of the northern part of Dremuchij where it connects to the planes that host Zanzibar city, The Bridge of Sorrow - formally known as Dolinovodno in the times of the USSR the large bridge which passes over the valley where the Ponizovje River lies the bridge connects Dremuchij to Rassivet, Rassivet- older than Zanzibar or even the Soviet research stations Rassivet is an abandoned factory long sense destroyed well before the times of operation snake eater or N014 there's still something to see for the entrepid explorer but not much of note is left over, Chyornyj Prud- a Deep swamp filled with Gavials Leeches and Fish of many Breeds including the Aroana on the other side of the river lies a hilly clearing covered in foliage and leftover Soviet gear including landmines and electric fences making it dangerous for many who wish to explore the area, Chyornaya Peschera - a deep cave system that lies under Bolshaya Past Crevice while partially flooded and filled with Crabs Frogs and Bats the cave houses the ocasional bones of Soviet troops making it the Dream of the intrepid explorer, Ponizovje- a Mangrove swamp in which the river of the same name flows used to send boats carrying supplies down river in the times of the USSR from two factories one smaller to the west housing weapons and one to the north larger that holds Food and medicine that connects to Graniny gorki and Svyatogornyj the river finds itself overflowing with various species of fish some poisonous some delicious, Graniny gorki- an abandoned Research facility that used to be filled to the brim with Soviet Scientists and engineers now it lies empty and surrounded by traps left by a member of the Cobras known as the fear though the man is long dead his silent vigil keeps others from exploring this place to its fullest, Svyatogornyj- the south eastern part of Sokrovenno it's lightly filled with traps and the occasional bird, Sokrovenno- the Resting place of the End one of the Kobras this veritable Garden of Eden is filled with mammals and amphibians big and small from Goats to toads it's a near venerated piece of wood lying at the foot of Krasnogorje, Krasnogorje- a Large mountain Range dotted with the occasional Soviet instillations repurposed to House Zanzibar land forces the range grows arid during the summer and spring only seeing snowfall during the colder months making the area seem rather deserted with that and the light oxygen only vultures snakes and the ocasional rodent make they're home in the region, Groznyj Grad- an immense base once rumored to house a Soviet Super weapon the Area is now used to house planes and helicopters belonging to Zanzibars military as well as to watch it's north and eastern borders making the region difficult to invade on foot snow can fall at night in summer and in the colder months it can be covered in snow making the area a sight to behold for some, Tikhogornyj- lying somewhere beneath the Krasnogorje mountain Range the waterfall and the cave beneath are a sight to behold for hiker's and campers alike, Lazorevo- the highway leading down the mountain range and around Tselinoyarsk itself linking with the Libre highway that snakes it's way towards Zanzibar city, Rokovoj Bereg- down the mountain from Grozny Grad north from the Lazorevo highway and past the Zaozyorje woods lies a lake and a clearing filled with white lilies though air exercises were held in the area the place is still a sight to behold in the spring months when the flowers bloom in abundance
