the Dominion of West Africa in a timeline of mine "alt cold war"
this a religion map of it circa 1959
blurple = christian
green = muslim
the two together are its territory
i've had some basic ideas about lore for it but I've very little expertise on this area, so I would like some help and information on how this nation could develop
the rough details:
the state is a decentralised federation due to its split up territory
the Orange Order is incredibly powerful within the state with all of the entire Protestant population of the nation being members by law
the state is highly sectarian being heavily divided between Christians and Muslims
support for the Monarchy is almost entirely concentrated in the Christian population
a railway from Dakar to Douala has been built going along the coast, this serves to somewhat unify the nation
Christians form a narrow majority around 51% of the population
Christians possess strong irredentist desires, many seeking to annex Liberia to the federation. other proposed areas of expansion include Benin, Togo and Ivory Coast though support for annexing these areas is weaker
the grand orange lodge of west africa is truly massive covering all of the OTL UN west africa region, it is the largest single grand lodge in the entire order with some twenty million members largely concentrated in the federation and the native population of Liberia
it lies a black sheep among the British dominions in Africa being the only dominion with no significant white settlement and the only dominion with Soley native goverment.
it has deep ties economic ties to the UK and the French union, the Belgian Congo and South Africa are also significant trade partners
the Christian population is highly loyalist
oil is an important sector of the economy
free travel and free trade exists with the French union and the Commonwealth
this about all I've got for it
some stuff I think that would need fleshing out
the nation's culture
the nation's economy
the nation's stability
and just generally what it would be like
