==Track listing==
'''[[Chad]]''', officially known as the '''Republic of Chad''', is a [[landlocked country]] in [[central Africa]]. It is bordered by [[Libya]] to the north, [[Sudan]] to the east, the [[Central African Republic]] to the south, [[Cameroon]] and [[Nigeria]] to the southwest, and [[Niger]] to the west. Due to its distance from the sea and its largely [[desert]] climate, the country is sometimes referred to as the "Dead Heart of [[Africa]]". Chad is divided into three major geographical regions: a desert zone in the north, an arid [[Sahel]]ian belt in the centre and a more fertile [[Sudan (region)|Sudanese]] [[savanna]] zone in the south. [[Lake Chad]], after which the country is named, is the largest [[wetland]] in Chad and the second largest in [[Africa]]. Chad's highest peak is the [[Emi Koussi]] in the [[Sahara]], and [[N'Djamena]], the capital, is the largest city. Chad is home to over 200 different [[List of ethnic groups in Chad|ethnic]] and [[Languages of Chad|linguistic groups]]. Arabic and French are the official languages. [[Islam]] is the most widely practiced religion.


#"I Heart Roberts'" (Featuring Helmet Roberts)
Beginning in the 7th millennium BC, human populations moved into the Chadian basin in great numbers. By the end of the 1st millennium BC, a series of states and empires rose and fell in Chad's Sahelian strip, each focused on controlling the [[trans-Saharan trade]] routes that passed through the region. [[France]] conquered the territory by 1920 and incorporated it as part of [[French Equatorial Africa]]. In 1960 Chad obtained independence under the leadership of [[François Tombalbaye]]. Resentment towards his policies in the Muslim north culminated in the eruption of a long-lasting [[The Tombalbaye Regime#Rebellion in Chad|civil war]] in 1965. In 1979 [[Transitional Government of National Unity|the rebels]] conquered the capital and put an end to the south's hegemony. However, the rebel commanders fought amongst themselves until [[Hissène Habré]] defeated his rivals. He was overthrown in 1990 by his general [[Idriss Déby]]. Recently, the [[Darfur conflict|Darfur crisis]] in Sudan has spilt over the border and [[War in Chad (2005–present)|destabilised the nation]], with hundreds of thousands of Sudanese refugees living in and around camps in eastern Chad.

==Trivia==
While [[List of political parties in Chad|many political parties]] are active, power lies firmly in the hands of President Déby and his political party, the [[Patriotic Salvation Movement]]. Chad remains plagued by political violence and recurrent attempted [[coup d'état|coups d'état]] (see [[Battle of N'Djamena (2006)]] and [[Battle of N'Djamena (2008)]]).


* Poison Pen Letters is the title of a track from the demo compilation 'State of Affairs'.
The country is one of the [[List of countries by GDP (nominal) per capita|poorest]] and [[Corruption Perceptions Index|most corrupt]] countries in the world; most Chadians live in poverty as [[Agriculture in Chad|subsistence herders and farmers]]. Since 2003 [[petroleum|crude oil]] has become the country's primary source of export earnings, superseding the traditional [[cotton]] industry.
* [[Love Is a Battlefield]] is a cover of a track by [[Pat Benatar]]
* Several tracks on the album contain samples from several movies, due to copyright restrictions the label was forced to remove them, however on the first few thousand copies printed they still remain.
* Track 1 "I Heart Roberts'" contains a sound sample from the film [[Hot Rod (film)]].
