So, is it possible. That the Kaiser declared my Oberst Hurst - Duke and have him create a Duchy in West Afrika? Since I assume, the other alternative was having a second Afrikan Kaiser or likely all of the German colonies joining the Afrikan Kaiser? Or rather, having him to it regardless - but this way he'd have some sort of Imperial legitimacy.

As a passing note in German imperial administration: the German Empire recognized the rule of internal kings up into and through the First World War up until the Empire's dissolution and transformation into the Weimar Republic. So if you want to somehow manage to claim that Hurt finangled his way into being called "King in Africa" in much the same way the Kaiser was at the same time "Emperor of Germany" and "King in Prussia" to make him distinctive from "the King in Bavaria" it'd be possible.

I say this because frankly the land claims are fairly large, notably larger than most major kingdoms. But it's up to Shyri.
