East African Federation
Official Name: East African Federation
Ruling Party: CHAWAMA - UPC/TANUnote
Ideology: Democratic Socialismnote
General Tropes
- Allohistorical Allusion: The EAF has a passing resemble to OTL Yugoslavia. Both are multiethnic federations struggling with internal issues and increasing ethnic tensions.
- Common Tongue: Because of the hundreds of different ethnic languages and the split between Francophone and Anglophone countries, Swahili is commonly used as a second language for business and politics.
- Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: At first glance, the EAF seems to be too preoccupied with maintaining its internal stability and saving itself from constant corruption cases and controversial political figures who threaten to tear the Federation in half. However, the EAF is in reality the strongest African economy behind South Africa and has been an important force in African politics, with Tanganyikan military advisors and Kenyan investors spreading the Federation's influence throughout the continent.
- The Federation: Likely the strongest example of this trope in MTNO, the East African Federation is a federation between the states of Tanganyika, Kenya, Zanzibar, Uganda and Burundi, with hundreds of diverse ethnicities and languages within their borders. While the Federation is practically a nation-state of its own, it grants autonomy to member states according to the principles of Pan-Africanism and upholds a multi-party democratic system.
- Fictional Political Party: On the federal level, East African politics are split between three political coalitions: the left-wing East African People's Party (CHAWAMA), the right-wing African Democratic Alliance (ADEA) and the centrist francophone Non-Partisan Bloc (BNP). All of these large coalitions are completely fictional, albeit the parties that make up the coalitions are mostly real ones.
