History

Before the arrival of the French, N'Zoo was a satellite village for Doromou. It started to gain importance when Princess Pokou of Doromou started a big market there. Later, in the early 20th century, the French also used N'Zoo as a base for trading in the region. Today N'Zoo is a small town, with basic services: a health center, a primary and a secondary school, a customs office and a police station.

gollark: It has four functions: `write(tape_drive, data, ignore_out_of_space)`, `write_string(tape_drive, string, ignore_out_of_space)`, `read(tape_drive)`, `read_string(tape_drive)`.
