Reichskommissariat Ostafrika
Reichskommissariat Ostafrika is an autonomous German colony located in Africa. It is bordered by South Africa to the south, Reichskommissariat Südwestafrika and Reichskommissariat Zentralafrika to the west, and the Kingdom of Egypt and Italian East Africa to the north. The colony is led by Reichskommissar Hans Hüttig, a former officer of the SS-Totenkopfverbände and a concentration camp commandant. Unlike other African colonies, such as Zentralafrika, and Südwestafrika. Ostafrika does not utilize local African Waffen-SS units. As a German colonial holding, they are a member of the Einheitspakt.
Description
Ostafrikan government
Ostafrika is commanded by Reichskommissar Hans Hüttig, who leads the colony brutally attempting to perfect his Aryan will, and spread it across the "Dark Continent" of Africa. Despite his deep hatred of his peers in the Generalburö, the official title of the government of Ostafrika, he still lets them live.
The favorite of Hans Hüttig is Richard Baer, who terrorizes the citizens of the colony, mainly those of African descent. Former SS commandant of Auschwitz, his relations with the SS has been able to earn him at least some respect.
Generalburö representative for Ostafrika's minority of British colonists and exiles is Clifford Dupont. An old man, filled with wrinkles, and comprised with a small stature. Despite being an Englishman, and being far too lenient for Hüttig to tolerate, with him instead preferring the "Degenerate" and wanting to sent Anglos to work in the coal mines for all eternity, Dupont has been able to stay in his post due to Hüttig being unable to remove him without the go-ahead from Germania. However, Hüttig still suspects Dupont scheming to undermine his rule, just like almost everyone around him.
Ostafrikan relations with native groups
Under the R.K. Ostafrikan government, people live rigid, militaristic lives. The native African SS system is not implemented in Ostafrika, instead preferring to only to use the German SS, with some former British Rhodesians. While this has given the colony the best-trained forces, it has also given them the least amount of forces available, excluding Reichskommissariat Südwestafrika.
Also unlike other colonies, there is no way for the native people to achieve freedom via the work-to-freedom program implemented in Zentral or Südwestafrika. The natives are subservient in every way, with no ability to achieve higher standings. This has, however, led to significant instability in Ostafrika, with native resistance movements constantly chipping away at the colonial administrations power and ability.
Ostafrika's foreign relations
Despite being a Reichskommissariat, Ostafrika has made several foreign adventures without the go-ahead from Germania, those mostly being coordinated by Hüttig himself and being mostly of the extralegal sort. Originating from Hüttig's contempt of the other Reichkommissariats in Africa, those being Wolfgang Schenck and Siegfried Müller, he has launched several investigations and coordinated espionage missions, to uncover any shady and illegal dealings that the two might have done.
Aside from Hüttig's personal vendettas against his peers, he has made contact with the Herstigte Nasionale Party, a party made up of Boers in South Africa. Despite believing that they are degenerated Aryans, he has still funded their party and trained local Boer militias in an attempt to subvert the government of South Africa. Whether this will work remains to be seen.

Just Another Camp
For Hans Hüttig, the running of a Reichskommissariat is no different than that of a concentration camp. We are not here to build a nation. We are not here to uplift the locals. We are the guards, and this is their prison. Any signs of dissent will be crushed, and the native population will mine and farm for the Reich until they drop.

Aryan Only SS
Whilst other elements of the Reich are all too happy to welcome degeneracy into their ranks, we can never lower ourselves to such a disgrace. The native population must know their place, below the German, and so the SS in Ostafrika comprise of full blooded Aryans alone.

The Unending War
Our colony is in a near constant state of warfare as countless native resistance movements carry out a persistent guerrilla war against our regime. Our patrols are ambushed, convoys stolen, positions raided and settlements burned. Even the fiercest of our soldiers have come to fear straying too far from the few beacons of civilization.

Surrounded by Degeneracy
Reichskommissar Hans Hüttig is a lone, fortified island in a sea of degeneracy. Both inside and outside Ostafrika, evil minds conspire to put an end to the rightful German rule over Afrika, and the lax rule of foolish administrators only fuels discontent and chaos throughout the German Lebensraum. To this end, he has embarked on a crusade in the name of all Aryans, to ensure that traitors, incompetents, hedonists, rebels and other degenerates all meet their long-due end: to be on the other end of a rifle barrel, or spend the rest of their pitiful life toiling for the good of the Reich in the concentration camps.

Trivia
The icon and the name of "Get your free TVs" focus for Ostafrika are a reference to the beta version of the game Half-Life 2, where "Get your free TVs" was a name of one of the game's chapters, and the icon shows rebel carrying a TV, just like in Half-Life.
