Transvaal

= Nation Information = Transvaal is a sizeable, well developed, and ancient nation at 848 days old with citizens primarily of Dutch ethnicity whose religion is Christianity. Its technology is first rate and its citizens marvel at the astonishing advancements within their nation. Its citizens pay extremely high taxes and many despise their government as a result. The citizens of Transvaal work diligently to produce Water and Sugar as tradable resources for their nation. It is an aggressive country that some say has an itch for war. It believes nuclear weapons are necessary for the security of its people. The military of Transvaal has been positioned at all border crossings and is arresting all drug traffickers. Transvaal does not allow any form of government protests. Its armed police forces work quickly at "dissolving" any and all government protests. It has an open border policy, but in order for immigrants to remain in the country they will have to become citizens first. Transvaal detains individuals who participate in the slanderous comments about the government. The government gives foreign aid when it can, but looks to take care of its own people first. The government of Transvaal will trade with any other country regardless of ethical consequences. = Territory = Map as of February 26, 2009



Republican territory in grey; African Protectorates in red; 'White' Protectorates in green

At the time of independence, the Transvaal Republic laid direct claim over all territory which made up the former Transvaal province of South Africa as well as the enclave of Walvis Bay in Namibia.

However, due to military expansion from the Third Great War, Swaziland and parts of Botswana (around Gaborone) came under Transvaal direct control; these two territories are currently governed as the Tswana and Swazi Protectorates.

On April 30, 2007 Transvaal gained direct access to the Indian Ocean when Maputo in Mozambique was occupied. The following day, the Sotho Protectorate was established from occupied Lesotho territory. All occupied Mozambique territory was incorporated into the Occupied Economic Zone on May 11, 2007.

The city of Bloemfontien was liberated on May 14, 2007 during the Southern Front campaign. On the following day, Messina in the north was occupied as the Northern Front campaign commenced. Transvaal military units entered Zimbabwe territory and announced plans to create its new Rhodesia Protectorate for governance as soon as more territory was liberated.

On May 29, 2007 all South African territory claimed by Transvaal came under its direct control and the Rhodesian Protectorate was established.

On October 1, 2007 Transvaal's territorial control drastically increased by 140 miles from land liberated from LSF guerilla control to achieve its largest extent to date - most notably making the Rhodesian Protectorate a more viable territory. Prior to liberation from LSF control, effective Transvaal influence in Zimbabwe-Rhodesia had previously been confined to the immediate area around Bietbridge and environs.

On October 6, 2007, as Transvaal control began to fall over Namibia, that territory was annexed and placed under direct Republic control. The South West African Protectorate was established on November 5, 2007.

A major territorial acquisition on November 29, 2007 resulted in government control in Rhodesian reaching the Livingstone Falls on the Zambezi River and the outskirts of Harare-Salisbury in Rhodesia. Beira in Mozambique incorporated into the Occupied Economic Zone.

The cities of Port Elizabeth and Windhoek were annexed into the Republic on December 21, 2007.

On December 27, all of Botswana came under Transvaal control.

The city of Lusaka came under government control on January 4, 2008 along with all of Rhodesia. A direct land route connected Transvaal with the Walvis Bay enclave.

Two days later, Kaapstad (Cape Town) peacefully was annexed into Transvaal. The following day on January 7, 2008, All South African territory came under Transvaal government control after Simonstown was annexed into the Republic. The city of Blantyre in Nyasaland (Malawi) was occupied the same day as part of the Rhodesian Protectorate.

Transvaal recognised the independence of Cherokee Namibia on March 3, 2008 from the South West Africa Protectorate.

On May 3, 2008 Prime Minister Hertzog announced a major restructuring of the internal divisions within the Federal Republic of Transvaal. The Occupied Economic Zone of Mozambique, Northern Rhodesia, and Nyasaland were re-classified as African Protectorates while Northern Namibia was placed under white protectorate rule along with the remainder of (southern) Rhodesia.

After Cherokee Namibia was deleted due to inactivity, that territory was re-annexed into the Namibian Protectorate of the Federal Republic on July 24, 2008.

On August 6, 2008 Transvaal withdrew its occupation of Southern Angola and relinquished all control and claimed over the territory. The following day the unclaimed Comoran islands of Grande Comore and Mohéli were invaded and annexed. The islands were placed under the authority of the Mozambique Protectorate. A little over a month later on September 14, 2008, the Arctican islands of Anjouan and Mayotte in the Comoros archipelago were also forcibly annexed.

Transvaal colonised Paraguay on August 28, 2008 - renaming the territory Transvaler Suid-Amerika.

The Madagaskar Vrystaat was established on September 12, 2008 as an autonomous protectorate over most of Madagascar at the conclusion of the Arctican campaign.

On September 24, 2008 the islands of Reunion, Rodrigues, Tromelin, and Coco are transferred from Franzharia to Transvaal and become part of the Indian Ocean Protectorate along with the Comoros Islands.

Transvaler Suid-Amerika was evacuated and relinquished to Agmar on October 27, 2008.

The Prince Edward and Marion Islands were claimed and annexed on October 28, 2008.

On November 1, 2008 the Comoros Islands were granted their independence from the Federal Republic as the Kingdom of Lübeck. On the following day a protectorate over East Africa called the Franzharia Free State was established. That same day, Bouvet Island in the South Atlantic was claimed and annexed; Southern Islands Protectorate established.

The Franzharia Free State fell on November 23, 2008 after the Silver Revolution; the Krygsmagte withdrew its occupation the same day.

On December 1, 2008, the Madagaskar Vrystaat was abolished by mutual agreement and Southern Madagascar re-united with Arctica.

With the sudden demise of Tionese/Franzharia rule over their Indian Ocean islands on December 25, 2008, the Mauritius and Seychelles (Seychelles and Aldabra) island chains were occupied and incorporated into the Indian Ocean protectorate.

With the collapse of the Pan-African Coalition, Transvaal re-exerted its territorial claim over Southern Angola. However instead of occupation, the Federal Republic immediately turned the region over to the soon-to-be independent Zambian authority.

On February 26, 2009, the new nations of Association (Nyasaland), Franzharia-Zambia (Northern Rhodesia) and Mozambique were granted their full independence from the Federal Republic. Transvaal retained control of the city of Maputo and all of Mozambique south of the Save River.
