New Union of South Africa (1983: Doomsday)

The New Union of South Africa (NUSA) is one of the successor unions to the former nation of South Africa. Formed in 2004 between the Republic of the Cape, German South West Africa, Volkstaat, and Waterboersland, it united the nations into one political entity, internationally

Post-Doomsday
After Doomsday, South Africa fell into chaos. Its economy collapsed as it lost its international trading partners and the nation began to collapse. Refugees organised their own malitias to defend themselves, further worsening the already deteriorating situation. Rioting was rampant, even though curfew was declared and several cities were abandoned as the situation grew worse.

However, it soon became apparent that the apartheid government was siphoning food and fuel rations off to mainly the whites. The black South Africans would not take this and exploded in open rebellion. In the meanwhile, remnants of British arrived in South Africa, bringing with them hundreds of thousands of refugees. Many of these headed to all over the former nation, helping boost populations.

The 90s were a turbulent time for the area. Large number of genocides were committied by blacks toward whites and in retaliation whites toward blacks. Local malitians fought each other for resources and food. Only when the survivor nations grew large enough in population and establish an armed forces did the area begin to come under the control of the various states. From there, the states worked on setting an agricultural base and open trading with each other.

With the new millenium, a few of the states began to consider uniting under one Union to help sort out many of the problems that plague the area. This would cumilate in 2004 as negociations between Volkstaat, Waterboersland, Kwazulu and the Republic of the Cape, as well as German South West Africa would lead to the formation of the New Union of South Africa.

The New Union
The New Union helped the member nations establish a successful trading link between each other and help their economies grow. The nations together could fund many former industries to be restarted once more, providing employment and supplying their peoples' with a larger variety of goods.

The Charter of the New Union explicitly outlawed apartheid and other forms of discriminatory governments. However, the enforcement of this was up to the individual nations' themselves. This was often a point of heated debate between the Cape and other members of the Union - which fully supported the move.

One of the first actions the Union decided upon was to help Zulu King Goodwill's forces in their ongoing civil war. This is widely regarded as the reason the war came to a close in favour of King Goodwill in 2007. This helped establish the fact that the majority of the nations in the Union had moved on from the apartheid thinking of pre-doomsday South Africa and this helped earn the respect of the member states' black populations.

However, not everything was such smooth going for the Union. There would often be heated debating between the Republic of the Cape and other member states and this led to political tensions between the leaders of the member states. The Cape's government would be deposed by a joint ANZC and SAC military force which occupied the city in 2006, with the nation's membership becoming pointless.

The Union would continue to focus on infrastructure in their member nations and help establish significantly better living conditions. Roads would be built and trading deals would be sought and finalised with surrounding nations. Roads from Volkstaat to GSWA and Waterboersland would all be repaired and this would help to provide safe trade routes for the nations.
