Mittleafrika

Flag of Mittelafrika

**Mittelafrika** is the largest political entity in the entire world located across all of Central Africa. Mittelafrika is a Unitary Colonial government with a system similar to that of the German Empire, but with an appointed prime minister and also with a lack of representation for the local peoples. Officially the head of state is Kaiser Wilhelm III of the Hohenzollern dynasty, but effectively the colonial governor controls everything. Mittelafrika was left in isolation during the Second Weltkrieg and spent much of the war trying to fight off Japan while sending what it could get through the british blockade. Mittelafrika was formed in the days leading up to the peace with honor as a large colonial government back on the 9th November 1919. Mittelafrika did not gain nor lose from the Second Weltkrieg but during the war it became de-facto independent of Berlin due to the issues relating to communication lines being cut by the French Commune. This has led to feelings of nationalism across Mittelafrika from several native groups, but some call for a system of smaller local led but still german aligned governments to replace Mittelafrika. And others call for more "radical" solutions. Mittelafrika is a member of the Reichspakt and Mitteleuropa despite not being in Europe.

## History

In 1936 Mittelafrika was underneath the despote Hermann Göring who exploited the colony for what it was worth and he wished to try and annex the Portuguese colonies. However after only 5 years of his rule allegations came from his brother Albert Göring about criminal activities by the Statthalter and called for the removal of Hermann from office. The German Empire despite its weakness knew that weakness in the unstable Mittelafrika could mean the collapse of its colonial empire and thus decided to investigate the claims. They quickly found much more evidence for Görings treachery than at first believed and thus the Empire immediately replaced him with a different man for the office. They placed Theodor von Hassel, a relatively old business owner, in charge of Mittelafrika to try and fix the damage that Göring had done to the colonial administration. His market liberal policies would benefit the colony as he moved away from the exploitive practices and tried to make Mittelafrika into a prosperous colony not just for the government in Berlin, but also for the people living in the colony. This was easier said than done and for the next 6 years the new Statthalter would focus on trying to break apart the power of the elites and placate the locals. This would work up until the break out of the Second Weltkrieg in witch Germany immediately called most of Mittelafrika's army back to Germany leaving a small garrison. This would fail miserably as most of these troops would never make it to Germany and would be captured in Ireland waiting for an opportunity to get past the British blockade. However the entry of Danubia into the war would alleviate some of this with Mittelafrika establishing routes through the Mediterranean to try and supply much needed goods for the German war machine, as the socialists in Italy did not have a powerful enough navy to stop the imports. However the entry of Japan into the war would lead Mittelafrika to need to face the full force of the Japanese navy in the Indian ocean. This would lead to raids on Zanzibar and the Seychelles respectively as some of the only combat to occur on Mittelafrikan soil. In 1943 however Theodor Von Hassel would die and with contact cut off mostly from Berlin it was decided to hold their own appointment. A german businessman stuck in Mittelafrika at the time, Fritz Thyssen, was asked to take the position and after some tentative negotiations he was put in charge, Berlin would later approve of the appointment. Fritz would immediately get to work industrializing areas of Mittelafrika as he wished to use some of his corporatist policies within Mittelafrika to make it self-sustaining. However this came at the cost of the rights of the local peoples as he began to clear native controlled land. This process has been ongoing and the future of Mittelafrika lays in the offices in Berlin. It's clear that Africa will have to be decolonized at some point but the question remains on how they should go about breaking apart the largest political entity on earth.

## Military

The Mittelafrikan military is quite large given the need to garrison the vast territory stretching from Ghana all the way to Namibia. The Army is the largest branch and while not as large as the military of the core of the German Empire, it is still vastly superior compared to most on the continent. However it has a noticeable lack of funding and will need to be modernized for the upcoming years. Mittelafrika also has a sizable navy left over from the Second Weltkrieg after its skirmishes with Japanese and Thai forces in the Indian Ocean. Mittelafrika also has a sizable air force witch is used to protect the skies and scan for insurgents deep within the Congo Rainforest. In Namibia their is also another secret waiting, the vast empty Namib Desert is the prime and current location for German Nuclear testing and is where the first Nuclear weapon in history was tested along the Skeleton Coast.
