Reichskommissariat Afrika

**Reichskommissariat Afrika** (abbreviated as **RKA**) is an autonomous German colony and the civilian occupation regime (*Reichskommissariat*) located in Africa. It is bordered by the Italian Kingdom of Egypt and Italian East Africa to the north which is ruled by the **Italian Empire**. The colony is led by Reichskommissar Hans Hüttig, a former officer of the SS-Totenkopfverbände and a concentration camp commandan, and with Siegfried Müller as its Reichsstatthalter (aka deputy).

## Description

### Physical features

RK Afrika is incredibly diverse, featuring beaches, rain-forests, and mountains aplenty. Its most notable feature however is a gigantic lake in the Northwestern part of the colony. It was originally a populated, low-lying area but it filled with water due to the Congo river being dammed in an attempt to create a shipping lane throughout the Sahara.

### Government and native relations

Similarly to Reichskommissariats in other places, RK Afrika is heavily reliant on African SS members to maintain order and prevent revolt. This is emblematic of deputy Reichskommissar Müllers hands-off approach to governance, with power being handed to native chiefs and private corporations as Müller prefers to spend his time hunting afrikas numerous species of fauna rather than actually run the colony.

### Ostafrikan government

afrika is commanded by Reichskommissar Hans Hüttig, who leads the colony brutally attempting to perfect his Aryan will, and spread it across the "Dark Continent" of Africa. Despite his deep hatred of his peers in the Generalburö, the official title of the government of Ostafrika, he still lets them live.

The favorite of Hans Hüttig is **Richard Baer**, who terrorizes the citizens of the colony, mainly those of African descent. Former SS commandant of Auschwitz, his relations with the SS has been able to earn him at least some respect.

Generalburö representative for afrika's minority of British colonists and exiles is Clifford Dupont. An old man, filled with wrinkles, and comprised with a small stature. Despite being an Englishman, and being far too lenient for Hüttig to tolerate, with him instead preferring the "Degenerate," Anglos are sent to work in the coal mines for all eternity, Dupont has been able to stay in his post due to Hüttig being unable to remove him without the go-ahead from Germania. However, Hüttig still suspects Dupont scheming to undermine his rule, just like almost everyone around him.

### Ostafrikan relations with native groups

Under the R.K. afrikan government, people live rigid, militaristic lives. The native African SS system is not implemented in afrika, instead preferring to only to use the German SS, with some former British Rhodesians. While this has given the colony the best-trained forces, it has also given them the least amount of forces available.

Also unlike other colonies, there is a way for the native people to achieve freedom via the work-to-freedom program implemented in the other puppet states. The natives are subservient in every way, but they do have an ability to achieve higher standings.

### afrika's foreign relations

Despite being a Reichskommissariat, afrika has made several foreign adventures without the go-ahead from Germania, those mostly being coordinated by Hüttig himself and being mostly of the extralegal sort. Originating from Hüttig's contempt of the other former Reichkommissariats in Africa, those being Wolfgang Schenck and Siegfried Müller, he has launched several investigations and coordinated espionage missions, to uncover any shady and illegal dealings that the two might have done.

Aside from Hüttig's personal vendettas against his peers, he has made contact with the Herstigte Nasionale Party, a party made up of Boers in South Africa. Despite believing that they are degenerated Aryans, he has still funded their party and trained local Boer militias in an attempt to subvert the government of South Africa. Whether this will work remains to be seen.
