General information: Revalia is a laissez-faire libertarian's paradise, founded by groups of corporations seeking the ultimate tax haven on a barren island on prime fishery waters. With little immigration barriers, people are coming from all over the world in the millions to seek work here, and the government is a small affair dedicated primarily to defense and keeping order on the streets. Revalia is politically isolationist but economically interactive, trying to avoid entangling alliances but welcoming full trade relations with all nations, believing that allowing goods to cross borders is the surest protection against armies doing so.

Revalian Military Statistics:


Marine Legions: A hybrid army/navy specializing in peacekeeping and island warfare operations, it is the main branch of the armed services.

-1st Legion: 5000 marines stationed onboard the Revalian flagship Kyriakos Anastasia, prepared for rapid deployment across the region.

-2nd Legion: 5000 marines entrusted with patrolling the territorial waters around Revalia in four small Jiyu-class destroyers.

-3rd Legion: 5000 marines specially trained for peacekeeping and guerrilla warfare, typically stationed on the Kyriakos Anastasia, ready to deploy in twelve Talaaxian-made hydrofoils.

-4th Legion: 5000 marines entrusted with providing for the land defense of the island of Revalia in the event of a foreign invasion, as well as protecting sites vital to national security.
