Armed Forces of the United Socialist Republics (USR)
Military Forces of the People’s Republic of Korsakia
Overview
Korsakia is not a warlike nation, but it requires a small standing army to protect it from its powerful neighbours such as the Dominion of Solo Yasoon. The force of 45,000 men and women compromises an army and air force.
Infantry
Light Infantry
The Light Infantry are the basic troops for the Korsakian army. Poorly armed and armoured, nevertheless they are well trained and are fanatical about protecting their country. Many of them have the traditional Korsakian gift of the powerful throw, making them experts with grenades. Some have been trained in the use of anti-tank weapons, enabling them to deal with most situations. They often utilise the X4 ‘Stunty’ off-road vehicle.

Heavy Infantry
The Heavy Infantry are the elite forces of Korsakia. Heavily armed and armoured, some are trained as snipers, demolition experts or technical specialists. They are often used to counter internal threats, and specialise in street to street fighting. They are chosen for their abilities, most particularly the ability to throw a grenade further than most men or women could.

Military forces of
The United Socialist States of Guakomolie
Overview
The USSG is not a warlike nation, as a rule. Only 0.5 percent of their population actually counts as a standing army – there are only around 40,000 soldiers in all. However, when pressed to defend their lands, they can marshal incredible support from their patriotic nation. What follows is a brief documentation of their actual standing army.
Ground Forces
Conscript
These are the men and women who are not actually part of the army - they are simply doing their one years' compulsory military service. These people are not fighters - they are the maintenance of the army, responsible for logistics.
Equipment
AK-47 Sub-machine gun with bayonet (http://www.firearmsmod.com/weapons/ak47.jpg)
Number in service: (roughly) 100, 000
"Effective" Number: 28, 000
Number in Garrison: 100, 000
Number standing by: 0
Number engaged in Conflict: 0
Guerrilla Trooper
The standard fighter of the USSG army. Usually they are not the most skilled of fighters, although they train mostly in urban areas. Despite their little experience, they are drilled to perfection, and are extremely skilled urban fighters, specialising in guerrilla tactics, appearing from a dark alleyway, to give off a quick burst of fire, before vanishing into the darkness once more. Certain members have been trained as marksmen, and form a firebase of sniping, supporting advancing or falling back troops.

Number in service: 30, 000
"Effective" Number: 30, 000
Number in Garrison: 30, 000
Number standing by: 0
Number engaged in Conflict: 0
Paratrooper
These brave men are the spearhead of a USSG assault, leaping from their stealth planes and unfurling parachutes, before delivering brutal death to their foes. They are often used to destroy convoys of supplies, or destroy important targets, such as enemy high-priority bases.
