Number of regiments: 4
Do your nation have any historical preferred way of fighting: Patience and waiting for the perfect moment to strike behind cover and camouflage. Some soldiers are expected to wait up to 4 days to attack without supplies. Run and gunning tactics have always worked as Graditorans have been natural runners and great flankers.
Do you wish to have a specific uniform: Yes
If yes how would it look like,you may describe it, post a picture or use the pictures assigned bellow as inspiration if you wish to paint it yourself: Mostly a grey and Black uniform. Maroon trim with gold on top would be nice too. The Grey and black would then be put in an old fashion camouflage kind of form too but it can be put into a more fancier way if you wish.
do you have a nobility back home? Yes
If yes on the previous question, will there be a presence of noblemen in this regiment? Some
What is the main ethnicity of your nations people? British like land and clothing style but with a more Renaissance Arabic way of life(Trade is great, streets are mostly clean, and culture is very rapid)
What is the main religion of your people? None, its very mixed not one stands over the other but Atheism is still at the highest percentage of 27%
is there something the regiments will be known for? Speed and ability to disappear and then reappear out of nowhere, and being able to hit targets with pin point accuracy at full sprints.

Number of regiments: 2 units of dedicated Trauma surgeon's and Field Medic's
Do your nation have any historical preferred way of fighting (It will most likely be incorporated into the way the regiment fights now somehow): As a medical regiment, they don't often fight, but the regiments are accustomed to working in combat zone's where Blitz and shock and awe tactics are employed.
Do you wish to have a specific uniform: Yes.
If yes how would it look like (I would however prefer if you stuck to the theme of the royal guard and use uniforms from the late nineteen century or the early twentieth century),you may describe it (so will I do them to the best of my abilities in paint), post a picture or use the pictures assigned bellow as inspiration if you wish to paint it yourself: If you decide to take the Surgeon's, here is their work uniforms, and the combat medics would like to be issued large equipment packs if not already provided for medical supplies and long cold weather style coats.
do you have a nobility back home?: No
If yes on the previous question, will there be a presence of noblemen in this regiment?: N/A
What is the main ethnicity of your nations people (do if you can compare them to a RL people)?: Heradorian (Arab/European)
What is the main religion of your people?: Most are Eastern Orthodox, though Muslim comes in close second.
is there something the regiments will be known for? (such as they die standing rather than retreat, they are good marksmen or something similar): Being able to integrate with other units, so they can spread medical personal around the Task Force, Division, Army Group, etc.

hmm theoretically not, I just lost a lot of work when I had to change to a new computer and get used to a older version of paint as I cannot find the version that I used. Though with Christmas and studies coming in the way were I not able to get to work on it but I should hopefully be able to work on it in the foreseeable future.

Might as well.
Number of regiments: However many that you need
Do your nation have any historical preferred way of fighting (It will most likely be incorporated into the way the regiment fights now somehow): They are typically known for their extremely adaptive tactics which are known to be creatively brutal and efficient.
Do you wish to have a specific uniform: Yes.
If yes how would it look like (I would however prefer if you stuck to the theme of the royal guard and use uniforms from the late nineteen century or the early twentieth century),you may describe it (so will I do them to the best of my abilities in paint), post a picture or use the pictures assigned bellow as inspiration if you wish to paint it yourself: The Dtorate Samurai wear armour extremelt remincent of late Samurai armouring however it has a regal 19th century touch. They also have a striking face mask which is modelled on Garanka (the Ditorist god of war) which creates a three eyed skull mask with a thermal/heat camera in the thrid upper eye.
Do you have a nobility back home? Yes.
If yes on the previous question, will there be a presence of noblemen in this regiment? Technically everyone in the Ditorate Samuari are nobility due to their service in combat. They are technically non hereditary due to the titles and power being gained through service but a nobility the same.
What is the main ethnicity of your nations people (do if you can compare them to a RL people)? Typical Titianicians are often East Asian in ethnicity however their eyes are noticeably darker than most and their skins are extremely transparent.
What is the main religion of your people? Ditorism,
is there something the regiments will be known for? (such as they die standing rather than retreat, they are good marksmen or something similar) They are the well known for their systematic, indiscriminate destruction towards the enemies of the Ditor. They are also known for wielding either full length Katanas made from carbotanium composite or shotos in combat to kill their enemies. They are the technically also slaves of the Ditor as they are separate from the actually military and there operations cover riot elimination to fort raids.

Ditorate shock samurai regiments

As one of the many Oriental regiments in the absolute royal federation so have the Ditorate regiments earned something of a reputation as willing and eager melee fighters even if the federation as practice maintain a doctrine to educate orientals about superior western and nordic standards of combat instead of eastern nonsense. However despite that so have the Ditorate shock Samurai regiments raised proven themselves well adopted to federal tactics and doctrine as shock troopers and trench raiders.

In the dark so have many Ditorate soldiers charged forward under heavy artillery barrages to attack enemy positions with the aid of their technological equipment paid for by the soldiers themselves. The katana that the soldiers uses while being a sword utterly despised by official doctrine have also grown to be something of a icon for the regiment as it is for Sawlyanese regiments in krigsmakten. To further help them in combat so are the samurai soldiers armoured by a heavy leather/ceramic armour suit that is very similar to the federal standard battle harness in function even if it is heaver, covers more and is more ornate than the simple visby harness most guardsmen are given.

When it comes to weaponry so are men from these regiment often armed with submachineguns, carbines and assault rifles and carries more grenades than the average guardsman does to help them in quick stormtrooper operations and sweeping cityblocks and trenches.

While historically being slave soldiers just as federal mamluk and Janissary regiments so are modern Ditorate samurai freemen due to the abolition of slavery in the federation.

Number of regiments: 2
Do your nation have any historical preferred way of fighting (It will most likely be incorporated into the way the regiment fights now somehow): Until the 16th century mounted archery (pastoral nomads from central asia); later on combined tactics of infantry and cavalry, with mounted archery still in use by elite units and conscripted and paid nomadic Liu who stood true to the old ways
Do you wish to have a specific uniform: Yes
If yes how would it look like (I would however prefer if you stuck to the theme of the royal guard and use uniforms from the late nineteen century or the early twentieth century),you may describe it (so will I do them to the best of my abilities in paint), post a picture or use the pictures assigned bellow as inspiration if you wish to paint it yourself: Image Heavy Cavalry from the 16th Century
do you have a nobility back home? Yes
If yes on the previous question, will there be a presence of noblemen in this regiment? No
What is the main ethnicity of your nations people (do if you can compare them to a RL people)? Liu; Central Asian Turk, somewhat sinizised
What is the main religion of your people? Judaism
is there something the regiments will be known for? (such as they die standing rather than retreat, they are good marksmen or something similar) They look back on a long history of nomads, proud in their superior ability of the bow, especially mounted. Learning to ride before they can even walk, these men form a superior cavalry unit, which is also capable of dismounting and serving as stout infantry.

Liugark Dragoons

As a people with a strong horsemanship tradition so are people from Liugark that migrates or join the royal guard for other reasons formed into dragoon regiments and fights as mounted infantry. Quickly have these warriors been known to ride into battle and dismount before engaging their enemies at foot with carbines and light artillery or just swarm over them in the night firing as they ride through their camps and vanish as quickly as they appeared.

The pure speed the regiments deploys at are one of the best and highly sought after skills they have as their experience allow them to ride farther and faster than normal federal dragoons, something which have allowed them to score many a victory in their long and glorious victory in krigsmakten.

Number of regiments: 2
Do your nation have any historical preferred way of fighting (It will most likely be incorporated into the way the regiment fights now somehow): As a nation that deals with long winters so have soldiers of the Commonwealth often utilized skis to travel and fight on.
Do you wish to have a specific uniform: Yes please.
If yes how would it look like (I would however prefer if you stuck to the theme of the royal guard and use uniforms from the late nineteen century or the early twentieth century),you may describe it (so will I do them to the best of my abilities in paint), post a picture or use the pictures assigned bellow as inspiration if you wish to paint it yourself: Long coat, Coat can be a plain colour with a colourful knitted sash across the chest. Sort of like this. Trousers can also be plain and a pair of leather gaiters would be nice, with fur trimmings also. A fur hat with a peak would do too and if possible leather wrist braces and gloves.
do you have a nobility back home? Not anymore no, there are certainly people who have blue blood but their noble rights are long gone.
If yes on the previous question, will there be a presence of noblemen in this regiment? N/A: People descended from nobles certainly.
What is the main ethnicity of your nations people (do if you can compare them to a RL people)? Germanic, mainly Northern. Though their language is based off of Dutch with a heavy Polish influence in the language, Cyrillic is used as the written alphabet. Facial hair such as moustaches are very common and are often braided.
What is the main religion of your people? Worship of nature spirits, though mainly it is now just a cultural thing.
is there something the regiments will be known for? (such as they die standing rather than retreat, they are good marksmen or something similar) Skiing and mountaineering marksmanship is respectable.

Very nice. Though I should have noted that they make use of the tradition to issue one or two feathers (attached to the helmet or cap) to soldiers who are able to shoot with both hands and for extraordinary marksmanship.

Ehhh, why not? I love doing stuff like this!

Number of regiments: 3
Do your nation have any historical preferred way of fighting (It will most likely be incorporated into the way the regiment fights now somehow): Skirmishers and light infantry. We ain't real good at strict discipline and standing in straight lines, and much prefer to fan out and the like.
Do you wish to have a specific uniform: Yes please.
If yes how would it look like (I would however prefer if you stuck to the theme of the royal guard and use uniforms from the late nineteen century or the early twentieth century),you may describe it (so will I do them to the best of my abilities in paint), post a picture or use the pictures assigned bellow as inspiration if you wish to paint it yourself: We would like to have some kind of zouave uniform, please. It's a good look.
do you have a nobility back home? Yes, but only as a social artifact.
If yes on the previous question, will there be a presence of noblemen in this regiment? Yes, a few. Their titles have no official recognition, privilege, or purpose anymore, but they're upper-class people and will assume that their wealth, education, and breeding entitles them to be officers. They title themselves 'horon,' which, bizarrely, is also the word in our language for 'commissioned officer.'
What is the main ethnicity of your nations people (do if you can compare them to a RL people)? West African Mande.
What is the main religion of your people? Serer.
is there something the regiments will be known for? (such as they die standing rather than retreat, they are good marksmen or something similar) That, umm, they are not actually very good soldiers. Poor discipline, poor marksmanship, brutal and ineffective officers, drunkenness, and bad behavior of all sorts. If it looks like the battle is going poorly, they'll probably run away. They are, however, very good and thorough at fighting people who can't fight back, and are excellent wilderness scouts.
