[quote=@NecroKnight] I got three questions that I might want an opinion on: 1) How large would be the white minority (aka Germans) in West Africa? Assuming that it has had about twenty years of relative peace and prosperity.[/quote] Pretty small. One hundred thousand would be pushing it. Historically the Germans really didn't do a lot of African colonization, so you aren't necessarily looking at a population like Rhodesia. To get to a number like 100,000 you're going to do some fancy math, like implying some people fled to Kamerun after the war and that there were generous land offers to the soldiers who fought for the Germans there. I say this because the historical white population of Kamerun was 1,643. You might also have a small British population in Nigeria but it looks like colonial Nigeria only historically had enough whites to fill administrative posts, and I suspect they would have left or been chased out after German occupation. So yeh, you're going to be in a tight spot. Probably won't be able to be as harsh as Rhodesia. You'll want to do something like bring Christian natives into the fold and made them equals in government in order to keep the balance. [quote=@NecroKnight] 2) is it okay if German, started out as official language - is mostly nowadays used only in politics and perhaps in the upper echelons of the military and business? Namely banks. Also the white population.[/quote] Yes, though official doesn't mean everyone actually speaks it. [quote=@NecroKnight] 3) Since it's 1960-ish - have most of the colonial powers managed to hold onto their colonies? Or have they mostly fought against their colonial occupiers and later turned into dictatorships? [/quote] Most have broken away. That's been our policy since it helps clean up the map, gives us more countries to RP, and avoids the problem of flakes taking up massive Empires and doing nothing with them. [quote=@SgtEasy] It seems as though [@asuraaa] has been absent for quite some time so I'll work around the bio. Reading through [@Vilageidiotx]'s options, I feel as though option 1 1/2 is a little better. I'm altering the history a bit with the Algerians recognise they need a little bit of help trying to get their country up and running with a modern economy and standards, even if it was with the help of the imperialist bastards who took them over. Instead, these fair religious nationalists want another establishment of an Islamic Caliphate but do not forcibly convert people who are staying as long as Islam is the main religion in the country. I want to take the stance of a more moderate Islamic takeover, with more emphasis on creation of an Islamic Caliphate with a caliph at their lead but with more Algerian nationalism. They have more ties to the Arab world but still recognise their somewhat significant presence in Africa. Basically I want an excuse to play a modern Caliphate with moderate Muslims at its lead. I just found it quite interesting. Any thoughts or contradictions before I move on to making a CS? [/quote] Hate to be a bummer but I'm not sure it'd be sensible for them to claim a Caliphate. The reason being is that the Ottoman Sultan is already recognized by the Sunni's as Caliph. The Algerians disputing this would probably get them branded Kharijites.
