In a similar way to that of the 1930s, the International Brigades recruited foreign volunteers who wished to fight integrated into the armed forces of Nanban-Ha. However, they are fundamentally different in that their are a more strict military force since their recruitment is not based on a certain specific affiliation with a specific political current within the revolutionary left. All volunteers of any leftist orientation are accepted into its ranks on the condition that they agree to fight alongside comrades and companions from different political backgrounds.
For now, the whole thing is limited to the preparations of the various protagonists, which will take time. The conflict will only break out when I think that everybody is prepared enough. Alliances have to be formed. Armies of foreign volunteers have to be raised. On both side.
The main reason is also that I am interested a lot in the process that precedes the confrontation. Many RP about war, insurrections, uprising, state coup and so on, have a tendency to start when everything break loose. The idea is to keep the question of what will happen during the war, especially the detail of the military confrontation, for a later stage. I want to focus on everything that related to what is happening before a war start, from the political division and antagonisms between the different sides to the military preparations. It will most certainly facilitate the start then the development of the future RP
For now, we will work around around the following questions: How a powerful equivalent of the Soviet Union, if it was still existing today, would prepare itself for a full scale war against a wide coalition of states equivalent to NATO. And how will it play out if Nationstates nations get involved ?
Other elements or factors may come to extend the framework of the Brigades if necessary as it develops, but everybody know already what is at stake, right ?
Recruitment process can take two forms. The "volunteers" option offer the possibility for a country or a political organization to send a numbered contingent to the benefit of the International Brigades. This contingent can have replacement or not, leaders or not. This "short term" form of recruitment option represent the cases where the recruitment and selection of volunteers is keep in the hand of the nation or political organization sending the volunteers. As opposed to the "recruitment offices" options that symbolized a recruitment process totally under the control of the International Brigades.

A specific implementation ratio must be taken in account. You can apply for approximately one company recruitment office for 10 millions inhabitants tranche of your general population. So if your nation have a population of 20 millions, you can only apply for 1-2 Company recruitment offices. To keep it realistic, I will correct your application if I think it is not.

A specific implementation ratio must be taken in account. You can apply for approximately one Battalion recruitment office for 10-20 millions inhabitants tranche of your general population. So if your nation have a population of 20 millions, you can only apply for ONE Battalion recruitment office. For a population of 50 millions, it would mean that you are allowed to apply for 2-3 Battalion recruitment offices. To keep it realistic, I will correct your application if I think it is not.
