Leading to tensions with the British. When WW2 broke out, South Africa saw it as time to separate, and the Union declared its independence, taking with them the whole of the old Dominon and claiming South-West Africa/Namibia, and invading the terrirory in hopes of taking it with them. At the moment, South Africa is trying to appeal to Germany to help support them gaining independance. [color=#f02030][b][u]Culture:[/u][/b][/color] This South Africa is very rooted in Afrikaaner nationalism, Afrikaans is the only official language, with English even being outright banned. The divide between whites and blacks is very wide, with the two not even allowed to use the same facilitiesm. Many black south africans are fleeing to British territories looking for asylum. [color=#f02030][b][u]Military:[/u][/b][/color] South Africa's military is based on, and mostly made up of remnants from, the British military. South Africa has a very strong land army and a decent air force, but a mediocre navy at best.
