The collapse of the Simba administration in the latter half of the 1990s left a power vacuum that was quickly filled by a menagerie of leaders from various party backgrounds and with various political agendas. FRELIMO, long the ruling party, began to re-assert dominance in the south, but was stopped in Beria by a RENAMO offensive, while in Cabo Delgado in the north, an army colonel by the name of Raphael Camillo established a personal dictatorship. Niassa, its provisional leadership understandably concerned about the eruption of violence there, invited Strathdonian annexation. A subsequent Strathdonian invasion destroyed local leaders in the center of the nation who had yet to be brought under the sway of either FRELIMO in the capital or RENAMO in Beria, dividing the country into four distinct parts.
An opposition political figure in Cabo Delgado by the name of Raoul Domingos led the successful overthrow of the Camillo dictatorship in 2002, and established a parliamentary democracy there that would, under his leadership, move to a union with the FRELIMO-controlled south. The Commonwealth of Mozambique was thus created. RENAMO, under its leader Alfonso Dhlakama, established the Mozambique Free State in the center after influence had been given time to radiate out from the party's Beria seat of power.
Foreign-Administered Provinces
Following the collapse of Simba and the emergence of a fairly well-armed (if abysmally trained) armed force under the dictator Raphael Camillo, Strathdonia and Roycelandia jointly seized the provinces of Tete and Zambezia, mainly in order to secure the city of Quelimane and the railroad leading there, which was Strathdonia's principle access point to sea trade. The province of Niassa invited Strathdonia to invade it, as protection against both the Camillo dictatorship and in order to benefit from the relative economic prosperity of Strathdonia.

Politics:
The Commonwealth of Mozambique is a multi-party Parliamentary democracy, inspired mainly by Botswana and Strathdonia. The ruling party, Movimento para Paz e Democracia (MPADE), or alternatively the Peace and Democracy Party, was founded by Raoul Domingos in 1987 as a centrist alternative to RENAMO and FRELIMO, with emphasis on human rights and governmental reform. MPADE, and its political allies Liga Mocambicana dos Direitos Humanos (LDH) and Direitos Humanos e Desenvolvimento (DHD) currently hold a comfortable, but decreasing, majority of seats in parliament, with both FRELIMO and RENAMO holding a small number of seats in opposition. With the retirement of Raoul Domingos from political life and the marginalization of his closest adherents, the MPADE has taken on something of a new character, largely abandoning Domingos' doctrine of peaceful and gradual engagement with the Mozambique Free State. The Alberto government now promotes unification by any means and does not hide the fact that it believes the Free State to be part of the Mozambique Commonwealth.
There is very serious talk of dissolving MPADE amongst senior party figures, due to the significant amount of friction between the old guard Centrists and the newer Pan-Africanist MPs, although there are also many voices calling for the maintainance of MPADE as a united front for human rights and good governance.
The government's stated priorities are infrastructure development, drastic reform and improvement of education and health services, and attracting foreign investment. HIV/AIDS is the major health issue, although tackling preventable diseases and improving access to sanitation and clean water are also major concerns. The Commonwealth of Mozambique prides itself in having a speckless human rights record, and there are no restrictions on press and political freedoms (within the borders of non-militancy). It is no secret that Maputo has been in the market for new military hardware and the 2,000-man military under Raoul Domingos has been increased to some 8,000 under Leon Alberto. This is entirely the result of increased regional tensions and the growing threat in the government's mind of a RENAMO invasion. Despite an increased focus on defense, the government can still boast an improving economy and plummeting rates of infection with preventable diseases.
Society and Economy:
The Mozambiquian economy is in bad shape after governmental mismanagement and civil war, but stabilization in most of the nation has allowed for a reasonable amount of growth. Several major Roycelandian companies have established themselves in the Commonwealth of Mozambique and are all major employers, and a cottage shipping industry has sprung up along the coastline where the need to move people and cargo between the two separated parts of the Commonwealth of Mozambique is quite acute. Hindustan Aeronautics has also announced plans to outsource some of the production of Tiger Moth biplanes to a factory outside Maputo.
Agriculture still employs the overwhelming majority of Mozambicans and most of these farmers send only a small fraction of their crop to market. Consecutive failures of the monsoon season to deliver the necessary rainfall has made farming all the more difficult and unprofitable, but once this ends and once labor-saving farm equipment becomes available in quantity it is probable that the agricultural field will see a major recovery. Like Lusaka, the Commonwealth of Mozambique places considerable emphasis on being able to feed itself, and at present isn't far shy of that goal.
Forcas Armadas de Mocambique (FAM):
The Exercito de Mocambique operates around 12 ex-Simban T-55 medium tanks, a number (its quite difficult to pin down, especially considering the sporadic maintainance conditions of equipment) of Panhard AML (mostly AML-90 and -60) armored cars, a number of BTR-70 and BTR-152 APCs, 10 Alvis Stormer APCs, 10 Alvis Scorpion scout vehicles, 6 Alvis Saxon APCs, and a number of 75mm, 105mm, 130mm, and 122mm light guns along with recoilless rifles and light rocket launchers. Sixteen Reumech OMC Mamba Mk.II mine-protected vehicles were recently purchased to replace the somewhat vulnerable BTR-70s. Although the defense force started out small, with only around 2,000 personnel, it has since swollen to over 15,000 troops, of which some 8,600 serve full time. When relations with the Free State and other nations in the region manage to cool down, if ever, that total is expected to decrease considerably, with many active units being transferred to reserve status. The MBDA Milan is the primary ATGW, and around 67 Milan posts are in service. Defense minister Augusto has expressed interest in purchasing the Kentron Ingwe ATGW, and the Exercito is expected to take delivery of around 15 Ingwe posts to replace the Milan in armored battalions.
The Forca Aerea de Mocambique, probably the best-equipped of the three Forces, currently has 14 fixed-wing combat types, 14 helicopters, 11 transports, four training types, and four liason aircraft. The 'sharp end' of the CoMDF-AF is the IAR-99 Soim, operated by No.12 squadron. These eight aircraft, serving in the strike/training role, are cheap and capable platforms for a cash-strapped AF like Mozambique's, even if their top speed is less than 600mph. The other part of the combat force is made up of six ex-SAAF Impala Is. Both of these types can carry AAMs and useful air-to-ground payload. Eight IAR330Ls form the backbone of the helicopter transport fleet, supported by two Alouette IIIs and four IAR330 SOCATs in the gunship role. While currently without any ATGWs, it is widely believed that the Ministry of Defense intends to buy in some 25 Ingwe missiles to equip the SOCAT fleet. A total of seven CASA C-212 aviocars are on register, five of them basic transport variants and the other two patrol configured, and they are complemented by a combined total of five An-24s and Do-28Ds. The biggest problem for the Forca Aerea is its nearly complete lack of radar-equipped aircraft, so all non-visual detection and tracking is the responsibility of two Giraffe 75 radar posts, one guarding the airbase at Inhambane and the other posted to Pemba. The Forca Aerea recently purchased 50 U-Darter AAMs from South Africa, giving the radar-less IAR-99s and Impala Is relatively sharp teeth.
The Marinha de Mocambique is also respectably equipped, given Mozambique's present condition, with four missile-armed fast attack craft and two patrol-configured Mi-8s. Its entire strength is part of the joint Strathdonian/Mozambican coastal boat squadron, based out of Quelimane. Three of the FACs are rather old Osa-II vessels, left over from the 1980s and refurbished by Strathdonian boatbuilders. One of their number, MNS Nampula, is equipped with the BAe Sea Eagle while the other two carry Sea Skua missiles. MNS Maputo, formerly SAS Job Maseko, was recently delivered to Quelimane and is the most powerful of the MdM's vessels. The two Mi-8s, previously in Forca Aerea employ, have been formed into No.1 Navy Squadron and are equipped with Elta EL/M-2022A surface search radars for patrol tasks in the Mozambique Channel. They can be fitted with Sea Skua ASMs, but are usually unarmed. No.11 squadron of the FA also flies in support of the Coastal Boat Squadron, with its two C-212-200 maritime patrol aircraft.
