It is a federation of German colonies and mandates that is bordered to the north by the territory controlled by the French government-in-exile , Egypt , Abyssinia , and Somalia ; to the east by the Indian Ocean and the Portuguese colony of Portuguese East Africa; to the south by South Africa ; and to the west by the Atlantic Ocean, the Portuguese colony of Portuguese West Africa and Spanish Guinea. Mittelafrika is a part of the German Empire and is indirectly a de facto part of the Mitteleuropa economic union. Even if the unification of Germany arrived just before the Scramble for Africa reached its peak, then German Reichskanzler Otto von Bismarck didn't engage his country from a colonialist perspective. Many reasons can explain such a choice: the need to concentrate on the completion of German unity; a tradition of German expansion and trade in Eastern Europe and North Sea; and Realpolitik statements: Bismarck indeed believed that letting the French continue their colonial expansion would divert them from the Alsace-Lorraine question and European matters, even if he managed to obtain some reserved areas to Germany during the Berlin Conference. Such considerations came to an end with the accession of Kaiser Wilhelm II , whose Weltpolitik policy supposed the entertaining of a High Seas Fleet along with prestigious Pacific and African territories. The concept of Mittelafrika appeared at the beginning of German Weltpolitik in the s, when German imperialists wanted to expand their territory and to link the colonies already owned by Germany by annexing the region between them.

Much like Mitteleuropa , it articulated Germany's foreign policy aim, prior to the First World War , of bringing the region under German domination. The difference being that Mittelafrika would presumably be an agglomeration of German colonies in Africa, while Mitteleuropa was conceptualised as a geostrategic buffer zone between Germany and Imperial Russia to be filled with puppet states. German strategic thinking was that if the region between the colonies of German East Africa Rwanda , Burundi , and Tanganyika Tanzania minus the island of Zanzibar , German South West Africa Namibia minus Walvis Bay , and Kamerun today's Republic of Cameroon could be annexed, a contiguous entity could be created covering the breadth of the African continent from the Atlantic to the Indian Ocean. Given the richness in natural resources of the Congo Basin alone, this region would accrue considerable wealth to the colonising power through the exploitation of natural resources, as well as contributing to another German aim of economic self-sufficiency. The British and German empires competed for control over the region which now comprises Zimbabwe , Zambia , and Malawi. South Africa -based businessman Cecil Rhodes , on behalf of the British government , established a colony in the latter region named Rhodesia , after Rhodes himself. Germany also discussed with Britain for them to press their ally, Portugal , to cede their colonies of Angola and Mozambique to them. The British, however, had preferential trade agreements with Portugal, who they had long been allied with ; though plans for an eventual Anglo-German partition of the Portuguese colonial empire were created, Britain would see its position in Africa severely weakened if they were applied, since the Germans could then effectively threaten their planned " Cape to Cairo Road ". These plans were arguably made to be used only as a last resort to appease Germany in case she threatened to disrupt the balance of power in Europe. However, since German foreign policy interests were in subsequent years mainly directed at gaining mastery in Europe itself, and not in Africa, they were eventually shelved. Indeed, as it is likely that German concepts of a Mittelafrika were designed to put pressure on Britain to tolerate growing German dominance in the European continent, and not the other way around, colonial concessions would never placate the German Empire, as British politicians came to realise at the time.

In addition, PortugalBritain's ally, repeatedly refused to cede their colonies of Angola and Mozambique to Germany.

Demoted to Extra : Henri Mordacq, the integral figure in the return of democracy to National France in the original KR , is not even a general let alone head of state here, as his career had already collapsed after his patron Georges Clemenceau's government lost the First World War.

In KX, history repeats whenever whoever is elected President of France after democracy is restored will have a heart attack while having the same oral sexual act done to them, with the French Press pointing out the similarities to Faure's untimely demise. Unlike Faure however, the President survives this incident, living to see another day. Despite this, they fled to their colonies in Northern Africa and still claim to be the rightful French Government to this day. If he decides to ally the Democrats and liberalize the dictatorship, he will begin wearing a suit and tie.
