The Imperial Domain of Mittelafrika is a German "imperial colonial domain" (Kaiserliche Kolonialverwaltung) which spans much of Subsaharian Africa. It is managed by Governeur Alfried Krupp, head of the industrial Krupp family which has numerous interests in the region. Much like India was the crown jewel of the British Empire, so is Mittelafrika the pride of the Kaiser. For more than 30 years Germany has enjoyed of cheap raw materials and labour; tobacco from Tanganyka is made into Hanoverian cigarettes, iron from the Congo is smelted in Krupp steel mills across Europe, oil from Nigeria feeds the Kaiserliche Marine and gold from Ghana is used in Zuse chips made in Saxony. However, such a recent acquisition has costed Germany much in both gold and lives; Britain's Imperial African Army made her bleed during the protracted First Colonial War. As such, Berlin has resisted Africa's ongoing wave of decolonisation, but this has come primarily by force of arms. In turn, numerous insurrections have begun springing up across Mittelafrika. Tangled up in the Vietnam War, it is unknown just for how long Germany can sustain operations in the Second Colonial War.
