The Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland  existed from 1953 to the end of 1963, comprising of both Rhodesias and Nyasaland.  It was actually a Federal realm of British Crown represented by a Governor General. The Federation was established on the 1st. of January 1953, with the aim of forging a mid-way between a fully independent majority-ruled state and the white dominated territories of South Africa, Angola and Mozambique. Intended to be a permanent entity, but ultimately crumbled as the Black nationalists wanted to have a greater share of power than the dominant minority white population was willing to concede.
