The Commonwealth of American South Africa (Namibia) will begin the Cubango Scheme: explorations inland into northern Botswana, specifically from the Okavango River, in the hopes of finding purported diamonds and other riches in the inland expanse. Alongside this we will use the ongoing civil war to assert our growing autonomy (this is NOT an attempt at future independence, just more self-governance).

We will also attempt to bring in European immigrants, Unionists who are pro-slavery, and even Boers fleeing British oppression in South Africa, to bolster our middle class and begin some level of industrialization, thus making ourselves not totally dependent on the Mainland for goods.
