The premise is that South Africa is colonized by the French instead of the Dutch beginning in the late 16th century. Eventually, the French colony comes to encompass all of southern Africa and becomes a world power (essentially a smaller, French-speaking counterpart to the USA in the real world). By 2012 in that reality, Lasalliana is the largest, richest and most powerful country in both Africa and the entire southern hemisphere.

Nice work!

No major French mistake as far as I could tell, though in Malgache Island, Notre-Dame-de-les-Merina should be Notre-Dame-des-Merina or Mérina and Zambčze Delta should be Delta du Zambčze.

If you ever need some proofreadinf with French, feel free to ask.

That is a fantastic country! I've been thinking about doing something with a larger, democratic (maybe) south african state.

Funny is that many of the Afrikaners are French Huguenots. Perhaps they deported the Huguenots in Africa?
