Madagascar Provisional Authority

Madagascar, officially the Madagascar Provisional Authority, is a military dictatorship on the island of Madagascar. The nation was born out of the turmoil of the collapse of German Mittelafrika, when the island's governor Reinhard Heydrich fled to Südwestafrika. The ensuing power vacuum was filled with the long-underground French Resistance, the Croix-de-Fue. Under the hardline Jean Mermoz, the new provisional authority set about repressing and assimilating the Malagasy population, preparing the country for reincorporation under a French government that had ceased to exist several years prior.

As 1946 arrives, Mermoz's government finalises its control over the island, attempting to stamp out insurgencies on the island by the Malagasy and Jewish populations. Once this has been finished, Mermoz and his organisation hope to establish formal links with the French Government-in-Exile in South Africa, and build a renewed French nation.
