Background
East African Federation

-           Moderate democracy with a rich cultural and military history that has recently found itself at the leading edge of changing the balance of power in Africa, its initial success 6 years earlier of funding and allowing Somaliland to gain independence also created a huge boon to its economy, as the empire of Ethiopia lost its entire coastline; yet, the revanchist emperor Haile Selassie looks bitterly upon Nairobi’s stunning geopolitical victory to cut-off its long-time trade and military rival from foreign ports of trade.

-           The East African Federation also despises many of its neighbors, who it considers unjust, cruel dictatorships. Worst of all is its failed support for the former Congolese monarchy in an attempt to keep red revolution out of the Congo. Now with a rising Congolese state on its immediate border, the leadership of the EAF must choose wisely over rapprochement with its monarchist, moderate neighbors, or to find other ways in which to check the power of the Marxists.

-           Relations with the kingdom of Madagascar have been traditionally cool, and had flared up negatively during the Somaliland insurgency years, but there is mutual potential for cooperation, considering the Malagasy army’s small size and rather large border with the Congo.

-           While the EAF is not a current naval power, it has the capacity, should it choose to in greatly expanding its fleet beyond its green-water, self-defense capacity, this however might bring it larger exposure with the nervous colonial powers, who see their influence diminishing.
