The movie is set in the Black Panthers home country, in Africa.

I wonder what country that would be. Rwanda? Zimbabwe (formerly Rhodesia)? Kenya? Ethopia? Niger? Nigeria? Uganda?
Because Africa isn’t a country, and only sub-Saharan countries are usually counted because that’s where practically all the blacks are.
Oh wait. I bet it’s that super-rich fictional part that Eddie Murphy’s character in “Coming to America” is from.
Actually, the country is called “Wakanda”, and is supposedly somewhere close to Kenya. In-universe, the country was fanatically isolationist, and was able to hold off all attempts at incursion or colonization due to being the only source of the fictional and nearly-indestructible metal “vibranium”. They somehow achieve a technology level at least a century beyond anything in the known world, including anti-gravity. This despite still being organized along tribal lines.
