The Empire of Rossheim is an authoritarian monarchy located at the southern tip of the African continent. It borders the countries of African States, Rhodesia, Afrikaaner Enclave, and The Territory.

History

Following the unexpected collapse of the New South African government, local philanthropist Christoph Rossheim assumed power at Kimberley on New Year’s Day 2006 and swiftly established control over the Northern Cape, Transvaal and Free State. Political opposition was systematically suppressed in the aftermath of an unsuccessful coup and censorship was imposed, but the reunification of the country was achieved peacefully with the Treaty of Bloemfontein (15 January 2006) paving the way for the establishment of the Empire of Rossheim on 24 January 2006.

Emperor Christoph was killed in an accident on 2 April and succeeded by his cousin, finance minister and deputy head of state Johanna Yamamura-Rossheim, who ascended the Imperial throne as Empress Johanna I.

On 9 July 2006 Rossheim annexed the former Green Free State in accordance with Security Council Resolution 73.
