hey, all. one thing i decided on just recently as part of my ASB ATL is that, in essence, the British Uganda Program is undertaken and many European Jews are "encouraged" to settle in an area of eastern Africa (legitimately in plenty of cases, but also forcefully deported and/or delivered there from antisemitic regions Underground Railroad-style)
due to previous changes to the timeline (and my own attempts to avoid convergent borders with OTL), the actual area the new state occupies is OTL southern Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, and a small part of the DRC; it borders the north, south, and western shores of Lake Victoria
now, does anyone have any ideas as to what this country could/would be called? i could always default back to "Uganda," but i feel that's kind of a cop-out.
also, what does everyone think would happen with this country? personally, i'm projecting that it could very well survive into the present-day, though one other thing i wanted to explore was this: at some point, large populations of Maasai are forced from their traditional regions into roughly the same area, potentially coming into conflict with the transplanted European Jews
