Can you tell me about Africa? 
 Hi! I will be happy to. It's the second largest continent in the world. Iron-working had been introduced to Northern Africa by the first millennium. By 500 BC, metalworking was common in western Africa. 
 Can you tell me more about Africa's territories and regions? 
 There is evidence of modern human migration with signs of early human settlement found in Southern Africa, Southeast Africa, North Africa and the Sahara. There are 54 recognized and independent countries there. 
 That is interesting. What kind of politics does Africa have? 
 There is a political body called the Pan-African Parliament (PAP). It is the legislative body of the African Union. To become president of the African Union, the person must be elected to the PAP and then gain majority support there. 
 It sounds different from other countries. Any other information on Africa's politics? 
 The African Union has a parliamentary form of government and has legislative, judicial and executions branches. Presidential authority is dictated not only by the Constitutive Act and Protocol of the PAP but also by African and international treaties. 
 International treaties dictate the presidential authority? That is odd. Any other facts you can tell me about politics? 
 International relations appear to be very important to the countries there. There is an entity called a federated commonwealth called the African Economic Community. The African Union is attempting to change it into a state using established international conventions. 
 Thanks for all of your help today! 
 You're very welcome!
