The Province de la Kossi lies in the western part of Burkina Faso and stretches to the border with Mali. The capital of the province is the town of Nouna, which has a mayor and high commissioner. The next largest town in the province is Djibasso, the last major town on the road from Nouna that heads west into Mali.
The Kossi is located in an under-developed corner of Burkina Faso. The Kossi has no paved roads and so, despite its access to Mali, is less traversed than provinces to the north and south that boast paved roads across the border.
Kossi the klown's sole reason for official existence as Y2K Czar was to convince the Soccer Moms not to take Y2K seriously.
Kossi's only Y2K message, equal to the Russian artillery barrage on Chechnya, was for the American people not to make serious preparations for any emergency, much less Y2K.
Kossi, aided by the corporate media, preached an officially sanctioned message of dependency upon the government and apathy towards a looming disaster.
