While the maternal death rate has declined worldwide, almost every country we have good data on in the 19th century had a maternal death rate below the current one for Sierra Leone. See ourworldindata.org/maternal-mortality . That said, some African countries had high death rates of this sort until very recently. The upshot is your choice of country is a pretty good one; this really is close to the maximum maternal death rate in the real world. | |
