Country Q is a low-income country in World Bank definitions, although until 1990 it was classified in the middle-income range. The problems facing the country date back some time, but came to a head in the last decade.
Country Q was a British colony from the late nineteenth century, but black opposition to colonial rule increased in the 1930s In 1965, the then prime minister declared unilateral independence from Britain and established a white minority government, sparking international outrage and economic sanctions.

Economic crisis emerged in the late 1990s and still persists.
