Askeland Republic wrote:OFFICIAL STATEMENT OF THE ASKELAND REPUBLIC
From the officially appointed leader of the people Jobjorn Orgumleidisson
As an official statement of acknowledgement of the sovereign rule over its own lands
This day of the 13 of the month of May in the year of 2019. We the nation of Askeland Republic decree our lands are now an independent governing state!
We wish from this date forth that the peoples of the international community recognize this and confirms their support of this statement or their disapproval.
We of Nordic birth share our ancestors pride of being an independent state free from oppression and boot heels of the Fascists and Communists ideals. We are simple men and women who will stand together through the tests that you the international community will give us and we hope to soon become an international power to be respected as our ancestors would have wanted.
Better to fight and fall than to live without hope - Norse saying and Motto of Askeland Republic
Head Minister Jobjorn Orgumleidisson
In Jafndægribjǫð (Equinox Fields) the capital of the Askeland Republic loyal Nordic clansmen and women celebrated and drank their fill at the taverns as tonight they were a free nation. They would enjoy themselves at the festival that had planed to take place in a large park in the center of Jafndægribjǫð near the seat of the government: at the ministers complex.
Though this was a happy time of the nations civilians the looming threat of an international intervention and annexation was possible. The Duty of protecting the National Security of the nation fell to the Askeland Defense Force (ASKFOR) and its 4 Army Corps to defend the newly minted nation with is modern arsenal of weapons and equipment.
1st and 2nd Army Corps were deployed en-mass to defend the country as best it could. However from its size and the relatively small amount of personnel to defend it the national reserves were called up to defend major cities and roadways, while the 1st and 2nd defended the border and islands and coastline. With 22 Infantry based divisions and 4 Armored based divisions in the regular forces and 13 National Reserve (Regular force personnel assigned to the home front. Usually Engineers, medics and so on) This didn't Include the Askeland Militia (Civilian Reserve, or Part time soldiers) however the almost 30 under-manned Battalions spread across the country were ordered to be ready to be Nationalized if the need were required. ASKFOR also had one fleet to work with to deal with any coastal incursions. Reserves for this branch would be a ship by ship basis. As for the Air-forces It only had Two Wings with the second being half strength and was a support wing for transport and resupply.
