British Nyasaland

Nyasaland, officially British Nyasaland, is a small, unstable country in Central Africa, one of the only surviving British colonies left in Africa. A protectorate of South Africa, the colony is governed by experienced Major Hubert Young, who has enacted violent repressions against Malawian partisans with the support of soldiers from neighbouring Portuguese East Africa. Nyasaland is viewed generally as being in a much better state than its sister protectorate Northern Rhodesia, partly due to its smaller size and better leadership. However, to say that the colony is untroubled would be a severe misconception.

As partisans bomb railways and assassinate British officers, the natives of Nyasaland look to their independent brothers in the north, and wonder how come they haven't been given the same opportunity. And with Major Young getting older, unless he can find a suitable replacement to carry on the mantle of governorship, Nyasaland may go the same way as many other British colonies.
