South Africa (formerly, before coup d' Etat) | Federation of Suthenburg (current, after coup d'Etat)
 * Goverment:  The goverment lead by James de Klerk is toppled from power after a coup d'Etat supported by around 80% of the South African military is executed. The coup leader, Ethan Bright, is named as president. Ethan Bright promises to stabilize the country and solve separatism issues caused by overexpansion in the last few years. South Africa becomes a Federation and it is renamed to Federation of Suthenburg. Namibia and Botswana receive high degrees of autonomy, but Lesotho and Swaziland do not as they are seen as "irrelevant" and "weak". Nothing much changes and fascist policies are still applied, although Ethan now plans to allow blacks to live rather than killing them, using the "Equal but Separated" idea (this is because he sees them as cheap and valuable labor force). Media is massively controlled
 * Military: The Navy and the Nuclear Program are heavily funded and it is estimated that Suthenburg will develop its first nuclear weapon in a few years, more tanks and AFVs are also being produced as factories are still being made all over the country (using the blacks as slaves of course). Ethan's excuse for not reducing military funding is that Suthenburg, even if neutral, needs to be protected against all possible threats that may come from outside or even inside the country. Suthenburg also invests in counter-espionage since the new leader is paranoid.
 * World War III:
 * Invasion of Zimbabwe: The remaining areas of Zimbabwe are taken and what remains of the weak Zimbabwe Army is massacred. With full of the country, a puppet state named as Rhodesia is established. Most troops are sent back home but around 30,000 stay in the newly created country for the sake of stabilizing it.
 * Mozambiquan Civil War: The troops sent last year remain in Mozambique some additional months to destroy the remaining communist forces. After the last rebels surrendered, all troops were sent back home.
 * Declaration of Neutrality: After defeating Socialist Zimbabwe and communist rebels in the portuguese colony of Mozambique, Ethan Bright announces that Suthenburg will pull out of World War II as our part in the war has been done (wakening communist in the southern part of Africa) and there's not much we can do anymore besides of supporting the african allies economically. However, he also states that Suthenburg will join the war if it is neccesary or if things get out of control. Suthenburg remains within the ICFMD and the Helix Powers. As for trade matters, everything remains the same.
 * Economy: Not much to say. Industrial and mining activities are still being expanded as Ethan Bright decided to continue with the economic policy of Klerk. Blacks are exploited as cheap labor force as always.
 * Diplomacy: Explained in "Declaration of Neutrality" section.
