Peace in Our Time! - A TRO Inspired Franco-British Union Quest

[] The Empire Endures
I am not sure we should transition all our colonies to the French style at once. That will both require a vast number of administrators at once and involve starting to attack and break up local power structures we are currently relying on continent wide. Perhaps we should limit it to west African colonies at first to not overstretch us if/when violence breaks out over the dismantling of more hands-off protectorates for a more hands on administration.
 
Mandate means it's awarded to a country by the League to govern for an unspecified amount of time. Giving it to America means transferring it to them diplomatically. You won't get money for it, but it won't cost you anything.
I see, tysm

Edit3: Reworked the entire plan.

Rhodesia and South Africa in one country really is the ultra racism machine. Disgusting!

Probably going to vote for Pax Brittania but I am not sure about the Palestine choice. There are no good options there though.

Actually, the Ethiopian Solomonid claims to be of Solomon's descent (and thus, indirectly claims to be Jewish-descended) right?

COOKING something horrendous👨‍🍳

[] Plan: Pax Franco-Britannica (Real!)
-[][SOM] Declare it a Franco-British protectorate
-[][ETH] Indefinite protectorate status
-[][PAL] In exchange for the "gift" of FBU protectorate over Ethiopia, crown Haile Selassie I as King of the Jews
-[][COL] Why pick? Didn't we just establish an agency to help with that? Resettle them all over the empire: Algeria, Kenya, Quebec, etc. Wherever there's space for racist Europeans, they'll find a home there, even at the expense of the locals.
-[] Colonial Sales: Transfer Mauretania, Southern Algeria, Northern Mali, & Northern Chad to the US for major reduction in our debts. If they refuse, rent their joint administration to the private sector of the FBU & its dominions.
-[] Overseas African Territories: Transfer most of FBU West Africa, French Africa, to the FBU Home Office as overseas territories.
-[] FBU East Africa: Federalize FBU Somalia, Eritrea, Somaliland, Ethiopia, the former French Djibouti, the Mandate of Tanganyika, as well as Anglo-Egyptian Sudan into an FBU East African Protectorate.
-[] FBU Central Africa: Federalize British Congo, East Africa, Pemba, Zanzibar, & Mafia, French Congo, Gabon, Ubangi-Shari, & Southern Chad, as well as the Mandates of Ruanda-Urundi & Cameroon into an FBU Central African Protectorate.
-[] FBU Southern Africa: Integrate British Northern Rhodesia, Southern Rhodesia, & Nyasaland to our South African dominion - for rationalizing and also to weaken Afrikaner influence.
-[] FBU West Asia: Federalize all FBU Levantine mandates into an FBU Levantine Protectorate. Also federalize our Southern & Eastern Arabian holdings into an FBU Arab Protectorate.
-[] FBU South Asia: Transfer French India, Sri Lanka, & the Maldives to our Indian dominion.
-[] FBU European Territories: Restore the Kingdom of Greece in Crete & Cyprus as a state that is in debt to FBU for occupation & "rebuilding".
-[] Colonial Administration: While more intensive administration is enacted in colonies reorganized under the Home Office, implement our current delegated-style of colonial administrative status quo - with adjustments to the new federalization context & employment of resettled collaboratorsrefugees - to the remaining colonies.

[ ][SOM] Give to Italy as a Mandate
[ ][LIB] Italian protectorate
[ ][ETH] With a heavy heart, yes, restore its independent government. It will be left in debt to London to pay for the occupation and "rebuilding"

We're overstretched as is, the more part we can jettison the better.

[ ][PAL] One State Solution: Palestine, Zionists will be equal to Arabs and Mizrahi Jews

It'll make them pissy in the short term but this'll create less breakpoints in the region for communists to exploit in the long run

[ ][COL] Resettle in Algeria. It will significantly boost the European population even further

Better to focus them in one place since there's no hope in actually gaining white majority if we spread them out and Algeria's politically important.

-[] Transfer French India to the Indian Dominion
-[] Federate the Southern and Eastern Arabian administrations.
-[] Begin a transition towards British-style colonial administration that relies on local chiefs and authorities as lynchpins to cut down on the cost of funding and manpower.
-[] Institute the switch-over of the former French Colonies that have not been reorganized into Overseas Territories, granting them native assemblies that may put forward policy suggestions towards colonial administrators, to be ignored or heeded at the latter's behest.
-[] Begin granting tax breaks to churches all over the Empire to intensify missionary efforts and opening new schools within the colonies.
-[] Grant the Americans naval and aerial basing rights within the various islands and coasts of the Indian and Pacific Oceans in exchange for debt reductions.
 
[X] Plan: MAXIMAL Imperialism
-[X][SOM] Declare it a Franco-British protectorate
-[X][LIB] League Mandate, assigned to the FBU
-[X][ETH] Indefinite protectorate status
-[X][PAL] One State Solution: Palestine, Zionists will be equal to Arabs and Mizrahi Jews
-[X][COL] Why pick? Didn't we just establish an agency to help with that? Resettle them all over the empire: Algeria, Kenya, Quebec, etc. Wherever there's space for racist Europeans, they'll find a home there, even at the expense of the locals.
-[X] Create the Imperial African Union, a suitably grand project aimed at combining the resources of an entire continent into creating profit for us. But this isn't merely just about streamlining such a massive continent, but a project aimed at encouraging all to join, including South Africa and the Iberians' African colonies.
-[X] While everyone would retain their colonies, this is about making colonial management self-sustaining through the taxation of resources and monetary value which will be used in various imperial projects in order to make the colonies even more developed and profitable such as railroads, resource extraction, industry and education for the natives to continue these projects for us.
-[X] The endgoal is to dissolve the ethnic and national tension between Africans in order to make them focus on more proper pursuits, like extracting profits for us by being cheap, disposable labor. Thus establishing one African state that will be in debt to all relevant parties with everyone having their fingers in the stock options.
-[X] In Arabia and the Levant, our goal is to do the same thing, and while we may have made promises to the Jews, they will have to be contented with making their stake in a new Middle-East Union.
-[X] Begin similar consolidations where necessary. The simplification and rationalization must go apace.
-[X] While using local pawns may have some merit, civil colonial service being standardized is also far too useful. We must combine these ideas in order to make it suitable in terms of costs, so we shall begin instituting civil service where we can into the colonies so that they can fund and manage their own exploitation for us mostly.
-[X] We shall have a transitionary period as we get this all set up, but as we slowly taper off funds from our colonial office, we shall instead ramp up using the Imperial Monetary Fund as a tool to get what we want and make sure that these administrations run smoothly to gain us profit.
-[X] Grant the Americans naval and aerial basing rights within the various islands and coasts of the Indian and Pacific Oceans in exchange for debt reductions.
-[X] Begin granting tax breaks to churches all over the Empire to intensify missionary efforts and opening new schools within the colonies.
-[X] Restore the Kingdom of Greece in Crete and release a Cypriot Republic (with bias towards Turkish nationalists) in debt to the FBU with guaranteed military basing rights. Encourage rabid nationalism and anti-communism, with express intent to return, destroy the communist deviants and punish those who betrayed their true states.

Here is a suitably out of touch and delusional plan! Perfect for the FBU to stick their dick in a blender to!

We're going to privatize Africa and claim it's a transnational union with a bunch of useless jargon!

And also approval voting:

Spreading the European refugees around and giving Cyprus to Greece instead.

I don't like the names in the colonial rationalisation plan at all. "Imperial Central African Federation" is far too wordy when you've got to fit it in after all of Elizabeth's other titles. I'd suggest just "East Africa" and "Congo" instead.

Though I guess on the other hand she might just be styled as the Empress of Africa and damn whoever gets annoyed by that.
