South Africa

​
The **South African Federation**, commonly known as **South Africa**, is a constitutional monarchy based in the southern tip of the African continent. It is currently a city-state, existing only in its capital city of Cape Town. The nation is best known for its rapid growth in membership and public alliance with the German Empire and the Baltic Duchy, along with a strong affinity for diplomacy.

## History

### **Creation**

The South African Federation began as the town of Cape Town on March 6th, 2020, with its first occupants being Apollotheace, Alexdynamo, and TheNamesLuna. Initially only seeking to survive in the chaotic world of geopolitics, Apollotheace brought along two other players — ValiantSpice and Blazemerald\_King — to contribute their specific skillsets to the town. After a day, Cape Town became home to four players and their respective houses.

### **Incursion of Madagascar & Treaty of Insomnia**

On March 7th, 2020, the then-town of Cape Town adopted the **Pretorian Doctrine.**This policy meant that the soon-to-be South Africans must seek to incorporate all sub-Saharan African peoples into a unified nation, and meet all opposing claims to the region with hostility. The first target of this doctrine was the State of Madagascar. On the same day of the Doctrine's declaration, three South Africans sailed to Madagascar and destroyed most of the unclaimed territory of the town, along with taking the inventory of EmpressEmerald, an inhabitant of the island. Madagascar, being allied with Finland, had Textercraft inform the South Africans that they must either return their stolen materials or face war. Tensions ran high until Blazemerald\_King, the newly-appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs, brokered the **Treaty of Insomnia**with Madagascar, named thusly due to its signing on March 8th, the first day of daylight savings. The Treaty banned further conflict between South Africa and Madagascar, and returned all stolen goods to the Island's government. Tensions have since simmered, and the two states enjoy a neutral diplomatic relation. As well, the Pretorian Doctrine has since been discontinued and is no longer the policy of the South African Federation.

### **Alliance with the German Empire**

Immediately following the Incursion of Madagascar, Crown Prince Frederick III of the German Empire requested the presence of South African representatives to discuss possible forms of international association. After an hour of negotiations, the two nations brokered the **Treaty of Cape Town.**Although the specific details of the Treaty are confidential, South Africa and the German Empire — along with the empire's colonies — enjoy amicable diplomatic relations.

### **Proclamation of South Africa**

As the night fell on March 10th, 2020, ValiantSpice, Blazemerald\_King, and Alexdynamo worked around the clock to fill the gold stores of Cape Town. At midnight, the three were successful at reaching the 900G necessary to form a country, and the South African Federation was formally created as a sovereign nation.
