Botha



Botha is the ruler of Transvaal, user created on December 26, 2007. He is usually referred by his primary title Staatspresident [State President] - although his full honorifics are State President of the Transvaal Republic, Member of Nordreich, Soldier of Großdeutschland - Gotenhafen Division 2/3 FT1, Standartenführer of Großdeutschland - Laager Division 2/5, Destroyer of Lord Jolon of Astaroth, Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves, The Great War III Medal, Bronze.

Role-playing aspects
For role-playing purposes, Botha is the ruler of a post-aparthied Afrikaner homeland called Transvaal which declared its independence on December 26, 2006 from South Africa - and loosely inspired and based on the former South African president, P.W. Botha [1916-2006].

Although Botha uses a picture of P.W. Botha as his avatar on the Cybernations and Nordreich forums, Botha never refers to himself as "P.W. Botha" and claims that his character and the real personage are not intended to be one and the same. The user Botha has also stated OOC (out-of-character) that he does not support nor encourage apartheid in real life.

During the course of role-play, Botha also plays an assortment of fictional secondary personages in the Transvaal government - such as Riaan van der Byl [prime minister], Ms. Annetjie van Matteus [foreign minister], Paul Cruywagen [TAF Commander-in-Chief], Rik Jansens [TAF Air Force Commander], Gerhard Schalkwyk [Ambassador to Kashlinkov], Johan Colbus [Ambassador to Republic of Venice], Pieter Stellenbosch [Ambassador to Slavorussia], and Laurens Bosman [Ambassador vacant].
