Republic of Shlyuz

A breakway from the Tsardom, the Republic of Shlyuz sits among the mountains between the open plains of it's former rulers and desert Peninsula of Bazistan.

Strengths

• Strong technical knowledge and training base to support highly trained and equipped aerial forces.
• Strong natural defences from the mountainous terrain.
• Oil and Natural gas.
• Multiple deposits of Uranium, Rare Earth Minerals and metal ore provide a solid economic base.
• Mutual Defence agreement with Rettung- strong bond including trade, supply of weapons and cross-training.

Issues

• Small nation surrounded by two regional players.
• Long and mountainous border can lead to unmonitored cross border activities.
• Landlocked so all trade must come through either their main ally or Bazistan.
• Limited arable land - food supplies strongly rely on free flowing trade.

Internal Security Platoon

Internal security forces have now yet received all the equipment of the Army. Instead they use a mix of modern items (most commonly camo fatigues) and older Tsarist equipment (body armour and small arms). It is common to see Internal Security forces with a mix of weapons and body armour. A common identifier is the use of black head gear, be it a helmet cover, peaked cap, beret or bandana.

As well as police work, Internal Security forces would act as ambush teams during invasions, using the local environment and a stockpile of weapons to outflank and harass invaders.

They are most commonly mounted in Gaz Tigr armoured vehicles.

Internal Security Platoons are made up of:

• Command Team
• 4x Internal Security Section

Internal Security Section
