AFJAT

The Anglo-French Joint Administration of Tseng (AFJAT; French: Administration Conjointe Anglo-Française du Tseng; ACAFT; Chinese: 曾國英法聯合政府, lit. Tseng Anglo-French Coalition Government) was the government that ruled Tseng (with the exception of Dutch Tseng and Savage Land) from 1944 to 1946 in a final attempt to keep Tseng under European hands.

AFJAT was divided into two prefectures, North and South. It lasted for two years before Tseng declared independence.

History
The AFJAT was founded on December 31, 1944 after the Treaty of Qingdao, in which Tseng changed from Japanese hands to European hands.

The governors of British Tseng and the Talasides were concerned about Tseng declaring independence with the protests and riots that happened in past few years. If that happened, it would be a crushing blow to the British and French Empires.

The AFJAT was politically and socially weak. Corruption was common, with a brutal fight in the Parliament on December 30, 1945 that led to 4 MPs dead and many arrested. After that incident, many other people with no experience in politics (one, Daniel Treich, was a part-time birthday clown) were elected in a desperate attempt to fill the Parliament. With that, the independence movement intensified. The AFJAT descended into anarchy in June 1946, and eventually Dave Saladoch, the governor, relented and, with the consent of the UK and France, AFJAT dissolved and the Republic of Tseng was declared on July 17, 1946.
