East African Federation is the name of the proposed African federation of the five member states of the East African Community — Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda — into a single state, which is supposed to take place by 2013. [1] The proposed currency would be the East African shilling, beginning in 2009. At 1,820,664 km², East African Federation would be the fourth largest nation in Africa and sixteenth in the world. With a population of 127,139,000, it would also be the second most populous nation in Africa (after Nigeria) and eleventh in the world. The population density would be 70 people/km². The GDP (PPP) by IMF estimate would be $131,772,000,000 USD and be the fourth largest in Africa and 55th in the world. The GDP per capita would be $1036 USD.
