The Republic of Ozymandias IV would like to welcome you to its Military Consignment Shop Storefront.

Are you a new nation just starting out on the road toward building a modern military? Are you an established nation with leftover military equipment that you don’t want to fall into rebel hands?

In either case, the Military Consignment Shop will provide you with the means to save tax dollars which can be better spent on advanced weapons systems.

All weapons are certified to be in 'good condition' and all sales are final.
