Rhodesia

Rhodesia is an unrecognized state in Southern Africa. It was preceded by a federation comprising the former British colonies of Southern Rhodesia, Northern Rhodesia and Nyasaland. Following World War II, the colonies began to draw in vast numbers of white settlers from other former colonies during the process of European decolonization, along with various supporters of pro-Axis factions and regimes during the War.

Today, Rhodesia is often considered to be an international pariah state due to its ingrained system of legally formalized ethnic discrimination and segregation, widespread crimes against humanity committed during the First Bush War with Azania, and its pursuit of weapons of mass destruction (WMDs). As such, it is not a member of the Alliance of Free States, although it remains largely pro-capitalist and anti-communist in terms of foreign policy orientation.
