Editing Liberia (section)

== Großliberia ==
{{main|Großliberia}}
Großliberia was the official German administrative name used for Liberia during the period of Tanoan control from 1974 to 2024. The state remained formally Liberian but operated as a puppet government under the authority of the [[Tanoa Einsatzgruppen]].

The Tanoan takeover in 1974 did not abolish the Liberian state. Instead, the existing ministries, courts, police offices, and provincial administrations were reorganized under a loyalist government. The Liberian presidency was retained, but senior appointments, foreign policy, security decisions, and major economic agreements required Tanoan approval.

On 15 October 1974, the government adopted the name Großliberia for internal administrative use. The change reflected Tanoan plans to make Liberia the central base for its African political and military network. Monrovia became the main point of contact between the Liberian puppet government and the central institutions of Tanoa.

After [[Eef Paap]] became [[Führer of Tanoa]] in 1980, the regional command system was created. [[SS-Großabschnitt Afrika]] was headquartered in Monrovia and used Liberia as the main administrative base for Tanoan operations in Africa.

=== Incorporation of Sierra Leone ===

Sierra Leone was incorporated into Großliberia through the [[Monrovia–Freetown Administrative Union Agreement]], signed on 12 April 1988. The agreement was concluded between the Großliberian government and a Sierra Leonean interim administration led by Alhaji K. Mansaray.

The agreement transferred external representation, defense coordination, customs policy, port administration, and strategic resource oversight to Monrovia. Sierra Leone was reorganized as the Westprovinz Sierra Leone on 1 July 1988. Freetown became the administrative capital of the province and the second major city of Großliberia.

The incorporation occurred without organized armed resistance. The transition was presented as a formal administrative union and was supported by local officials who had already accepted Tanoan political protection. Existing Sierra Leonean courts, police offices, and ministries continued to operate at provincial level but were placed under Monrovia’s authority.
