bluegargantuaColtan is a naturally-occuring metalic ore.
It is a material used in the manufacture of capacitors that are found in a wide range of modern technological gadgets. Thus demand for the stuff has been steadily growing.
80% of the world's reserves are found in the Congo. And it's just one of a wide range of natural resources that has turned the Congo into hell on Earth.
Despite the obvious pitfalls, I'd really like to do a game set in modern-day Congo. It wouldn't be an easy game, but it might be a very valuable one. No one PC or group of PCs could ever hope to "fix" the Congo (unless we're playing Nobilis), but struggling against the tide of misery and inhumanity could be really powerful.
