Speech and Colloquialisms
Revolvisian speech is, quite frankly, shocking to those who are unfamiliar with it. The majority of familiar swear words in English do not exist, instead replace by 'cleaner' words and phrases. A list of Revolvisian colloquialisms will be compiled here.
"Pocksicker" - Insult, noun. May also appear as "Pocksicking [noun]" or "Pocksick"
"Kuck" - Insult, verb. May also appear as "Kucking [noun]" or "Kucker"
"Frick" - Insult, noun. As with the other insults, it may appear as "Fricking" or "Fricker" on occasion.
"Safer than a crab in Brachyuria" - A rather cryptic colloquialism for those unfamiliar with the nation of Brachyuria. It means that whatever is being described is completely safe.
People/Nations that Revolvisia has personally insulted

Pictured here are the main cities, highways and rivers in Revolvisia.

Economy
Revolvisia's currency is the Post-Jung (aka the Post). All of the Post notes display a picture of Jimi Hendrix, a 'tag' to prove their authenticity and are coloured depending on their value.
Green = 5 Posts
Red = 10 Posts
Blue = 20 Posts
Purple = 50 Posts
Yellow = 100 Posts
Recurring Characters
New profiles will be added as characters are introduced. Profiles of current characters will be added and finished eventually, though I have literally no idea when eventually is going to be.
Army
Revolvisia has an army of well trained people and well built vehicles, though fully devoid of nuclear weapons. This army makes up roughly 1.5% of the populace during peace time, though it can be dissolved into the public, and 4.5% during war reaching up to 5% should the situation require it.
About 0.5% of the population is also put into a special force, Johannson's Personal Detachment (The JPD). These soldiers are the creme de la creme of Revolvisian combat operations and are raised from birth to act as the Lucidarch's invisible task force.
2 members of the JPD on a training exercise.
Infantry
1st Armoured Division Krystania - 12 armoured brigades and 8 infantry brigades.
2nd Infantry Division Marhall - 16 infantry brigades.

4th Infantry Division Alderidge - 12 heavy infantry brigades.
5th Infantry Division Shresburgh - 12 heavy infantry brigades, 4 air assault brigades and the Garrison.
