The Royal Foreign Legion, one of Atruria's four operational military branches (the others being the Royal Marines, Royal Navy, and Royal Air Command) is, once again, recruiting soldiers. These soldiers can be professional mercenaries for hire, or prisoners convicted of serious crimes, donated by governments.

Mercenary Units

Mercenary Units may come only in sets of Companies, Commands, and Battalions. The Foreign Legion organization structure is listed below. Each mercenary soldier will gain citizenship of Atruria, after serving in the Legion for fifteen (15) years. All Legion soldiers will be afforded lavish 600 sq ft housing for their services. Additionally, while serving in the Legion, all soldiers will be provided with food, military housing, and a pay of 20,000 USD per year. Mercenary units may serve under the name of the nation that they originate from (I.E. 1st Japanese Dragoons) or their own unit name (I.E. Ashikaga's Dragoons; Demonspawn Dragoons, etc.)

Prisoners
Governments may donate prisoners to the Royal Foreign Legion. These prisoners must be convicted of serious crimes, such as rape, murder, or armed robbery, and equally as heinous acts. Governments will receive 100 USD for every donated prisoner. Prisoners may only be donated in sets of companies, commands, or battalions. Prisoner units MUST use a name specifying their nation of origin.

Organizational Structure
Section = 10 Soldiers
Platoon = 3 Sections (30 Soldiers)
Support Platoon = 2 Sections (20 Soldiers)
Company = 3 Platoons (90 Soldiers)
Battalion = 4 Companies (360 Soldiers) + 2 Support Platoons
Logistics Brigade = 800 Men
Command = 3 Battalions + 1 Logistics Brigade

Unit Type
As of now, it'd be greatly appreciated if all units submitted the type of unit they planned to become. The following are available types of units

Infantry: Your basic ground-based foot-soldiers
Armored: Tanks, Personnel Carriers, and other Vehicles
Cavalry: Yes, the Legion does use actual guys riding on horses and camels and other animals. Cheaper to supply than armored vehicles, but faster than infantry.
*All logistics and most support is handled by Atrurian Soldiers.

Gejigrad Infantry

I would like to send 380 prisoners accused of 1st-degree murder and sentenced to death to serve in your ranks. They are the strongest and smartest of this group, and I feel they would be better served here.

Thank you, the total payment for all 380 soldiers is $38,000. They will be formed into an Amazonian battalion.

20 of our own soldiers will be supplied for the sniper support, though

Hmm... In the hopes of improving relations with foreigners, the government of Antanjyl has decided to donate two (2) battalions of our military Daemons to your cause. May they serve your nation as well as they have served ours, let it be known that they have no regrets with leaving the glorious nation of Antanjyl. Treat them well.

Daemon Farwell,
Foreign Minister

OOC: A Daemon could be considered the Antanjyl equivalent to the marines of naval seals. However they are also mercantile in nature and are usually employed to other nations over short stints of time or by diffrent factions inside of the government itself. They are essentially trained for speed, since unbecknownst to outsiders, they are also our primary slavers force, or at least certain groups of these.

Dear Mr. Farwell,
The High Kingdom of Atruria is grateful for your generous contribution to our armed forces, with such excellent Soldiers. We hope to attain a close diplomatic relatioship with Antanjyl in the near future.

Regards,
Tiberias Kustennin,
Minister of Defense,
Atruria

Rome would like to send 5000 soldiers, all ex-special forces. They are all looking for work.

Thank you, glorious Romans, for this contribution to our military.

Thank you, glorious Romans, for this contribution to our military.

Your very welcome. I hope these ex-special forces soldiers will help you acheive victory over the evils of this earth.

We the Nation of Skitsojd would like to offer you the services of one battalion of our United Skitso Para-Military Forces. They are well versed in Parachute Insertion and guerrilla fighting. They are well disciplined and are trained in the usage of most weapons available.
They have asked to be called the 1st Skitso Paramilitärisch Battalion

Sincerely
Govt. of Skitsojd.

The Nation of The Burnsian Desert would like to get these prisoners off of our hands; we are prepared to give you 720 prisoners in exchange for $72,000 USD. We will not reveal the crimes for which they were imprisoned, unless it is required.

THE BURNSIAN DESERT

Hello world

We are a new democratic regime devoted to developing the technology to one day getting to the point where humans can live and work in space.

A whopping two fifths of our 5 million citizens work as scientists and engineers working to develop our nation's primary product: Advanced technology. This product is our livelihood. Much of our technology is sold to and becomes integrated into other larger societies which translate into economic, agricultural, medical, or military benefits.

Living in such a barren land, the economic return from this product allows us to import crucial resources needed to support our way of life as well as lets us focus the resources we need on our nations primary goal.... developing the technology neccessary for space exploration and development. While most of the citizens who are employed in our technical sectors produce our advanced technology products, approximately 1/4 of them are directly focused on working on space development projects. As a result our aerospace knowledge base exceeds those of nations many times our size.

Therefore our capability for defense technology development is quite advanced. Should you need any of this capability, please feel free to contact our national headquarters.

200 ex-Russian Spetsnaz have decided to try out your foreign legion they will leave our lands and proceed directly to your country immediately..

Thank you to all nations that have thus far aided the Foreign Legion. Additionally, the $72,000 USD have been wired to The Burnsian Desert.

The United Holy Kingdom of Xharn would like to donate 500 Political Prisioners to your legion for 50,000 USD..

A total of one hundred seventy eight Gejigradian ex-military personell are willing to take part in the expansion of your Foreign Legion.

[ See my NSWiki for information on the composition of my populace. ]

In an inquiry, a select number of 150000 soldiers from our military wish to try out your Foreign Legion. His Holy Eminence has granted the expedition, on the terms that these citizens [they are all volunteers] return home after 3 years [3 times the normal service term; OOC 6 RL days]. Pending on the success of this program, His Holy Eminence is willing to commit more volunteers to this rigorous program in your Foreign Legion. Furthermore, His Holy Eminence does not feel right in the "sale" of citizens of the Empire to foreign service in another country, whatever the intent is; therefore, your generous grant of any sum will be declined. The purpose is to receive the superb training in your Foreign Legion and to test their viability in Naktan training routine.

Please response promptly, as His Holy Eminence would like to know as soon as possible about this proposal.

PS>>> PM Karmala has noted with what diligence your nation acted in the recent murders of foreign nationals, and he wishes to thank you in your solidarity. Our priests pray for your nation, to add ever needed blessings to your people.

Coded Message: The Grand National Union of Xharn


The Grand National Union of Xharn has several dissidents that we need to get rid off for fear of international prosecution. We would like to hand over 2,000 captured communist soldiers these POWs are all Xharnian born but have been trying to overthrow the current regime. We think your Legion would be the best place for these red monsters.
