According to a plaque by the entrance, the building is used for "Third World Debt Collection". | ||
The building is based on the real-life [http://www.ugandamissionunny.net/Untitled-11_op_723x1078.jpg Uganda House] (336 East 45th Street) in [[wp:Turtle Bay|Turtle Bay]], Manhattan, New York City, housing the Ugandan Mission to the United Nations and is actually located in close proximity with the United Nations headquarters (which the Civilization Committee building bases itself on). As [[wp:Uganda|Uganda]] is an African nation, the choice of name for the Africa Tower is fitting. While bearing a close resemblance to the Uganda House, the Africa Tower faces east, as oppose to the Uganda House's alignment towards the north. | The building is based on the real-life [http://www.ugandamissionunny.net/Untitled-11_op_723x1078.jpg Uganda House] (336 East 45th Street) in [[wp:Turtle Bay|Turtle Bay]], Manhattan, New York City, housing the Ugandan Mission to the United Nations and is actually located in close proximity with the United Nations headquarters (which the Civilization Committee building bases itself on).
