Republic of South Africa
 * Goverment & Politics: A mysterious man  called James de Klerk raises from the ranks of the party in power (the National Party) and gains popularity among the white population of South Africa. His policies are more far-right than those of any previously elected president of the National Party and his opponents even compare him to Hitler and accuse him of trying to copy the fascist rule from Australia and Finland. However de Klerk makes good use of his charisma in his campaign, attracting thousands of supporters to his rallies across the country. Despite the opposition of the establishement, he still manages to secure the nomination of the National Party and eventually win the presidency thanks to the overwhelming support that he built through his campaign. He is sworn in as president on June 1st, after Robbert Swarts ended his mandate. Among his priorities as president were the funding and modernization of the military, and the creation of The Final Plan,  a plan inspired by the german Lebensraum with the ultimate goal of creating a purely white South Africa with enough lands for the new population to live. This plan consists of the following phases;
 * Military:
 * South African Army: The South African Army (which is purely white) increases its numbers to 250,000 active troops and 60,000 reserves after a recruitment program was made by the goverment. Chances are that the numbers of the army won't increase more, as South Africa prefers quality over quantity (nearly all of the current forces rceieved decent training and have decent weapons as well, better than the weak african countries that just got independence). Other land forces include around 130 tanks and a couple armored vehicles and artillery.
 * South African Navy: The South African Navy has a personeel of around 20,000 and naval crafts include 8 frigates, 15 destroyers, 1 corvette, 5 submarine and around 40 coastal defense craft. The Navy receives heavy funding in order to modernize our vessels.
 * South African Air Force: The South African Air Force has around 15,000 personnel and aircraft consists of 21 fighters/interceptors, 5 bombers, 32 fixed-wing aircraft, 80 transport aircraft, 36 trainer aircraft, 40 helicopters and 7 attack helicopters. The Air Force does not receive much funding for now.
 * Technology & Research:
 * Nuclear Program: The new president James de Klerk decides to begin South Africa's nuclear porgram with the ultimate goal of developing nuclear weapons. Because of this uranium is being extracted and enriched, however it will take many years until South Africa gets a nuke.
 * Wars & Conflicts:
 * Liberation of Lesotho: The first war related to The Final Plan begins with the "Liberation" of Lesotho. These wars are named as liberation because according to the South Africans they are liberating poor black people from bad goverments and putting them under good white rule instead. The was begins on July 1st and 45,000 trooos are used in the invasion. Since Lesotho is weak and just got independence, their troops are easily massacred by the superior South African army and they are forced to surrender within days. Lesotho is annexed into South Africa, though de Klerk promises to give them autonomy later on.
 * Liberation of Botswana: After succesfully "liberating" and annexing Lesotho, the second war of Liberation begins, this time against Botswana. 150,000 troops cross the border into Botswana and manage to take over their capital by November. However, fighting is not over yet as Botswanans are still resisting in the north, with South Africa controlling the south. By the end of the year South Africa held around 65% of Botswana's territory and a request is sent to the remaining Botswanan troops demanding that they capitulate.
 * Diplomacy:
 * Finland, Australia and South Brazil: South Africa creates an alliance called the Helix Powers along with three countries. The goal of this alliance is the mutual economical and military support between the member countries, this will make fascism strong once again.
 * Spain: Since Francisco Franco is still the ruler of Spain and he favors fascist-like policies, we decide to invite Spain to the Helix Powers as well. We point out that this alliance will be benefical for them, as they will have allies instead of isolating themselves from the rest of the world (they are currently not part of NATO or WP).
 * United States: We clarify that we will still be members of the ICFMD despite creating the Helix Powers, the reason for this is that we have communism as a common enemy.
 * Botswana: We tell them to capitulate inmediately or more bloodshed will occur.
 * United Kingdom: We kindly ask them to hand us control over Swaziland as they will be forced to give them independence soon anyway (they gained independence in 1968 IRL), and we think that it would be in better use under South African control instead of leaving it in control of inferior, black leaders.
