Overview
Rupert's Land is a small nation located on the west coast of the Hudson's Bay. Formerly a Crown Corporation trading post known as "Northwest Co.", the residents went rogue and became a sovereign country. Not much is known of Rupert's Land, however, despite embracing total isolationism, the nation is rich in gold, resources and military might, using guerilla hit-and-run tactics in times of war, and utilizing a large wall around the entire settlement for defense.
History
Little is known about the activities and history of Rupert's Land due to its isolationist policy, and what is known is vaguely documented.
Early History
The capital city of Northwest Co. was founded on September 8th, 2019, later becoming a nation on October 19th, 2019.
Recent History
Skirmishes With Other Nations
Since its inception, the international activities of Rupert's Land have almost exclusively included military engagements with other towns and nations. Earlier battles include skirmishes with the city of Albuquerque, usually fought outside the walls of Northwest Co. prior to nationhood. More recently, Rupert's Land has engaged in a rather open political and military rivalry with both Norway and the Quebec town of Saint-Jerome. Norwegian sieges and outright attacks on Northwest Co. led by MrAustino_ are commonplace, while guerilla attacks carried out by the militia of Rupert's Land against Saint-Jerome have been known to occur.
Government
Rupert's Land is an Absolute Oligarchy, ruled almost equally by a council of seven residents, with a King to keep the council in order. Anyone not included in the core seven are subjects of the King, and are legally classified as serfs.
Military
The Department of Defense is run by the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of Defense also holds the highest rank in the military. Following the Secretary of Defense, the ranks of the military follow down in order: General, Commander, Soldier, Recruit. The Recruit is a member of the military who has no experience, they are taught the basics of each essential unit and then be assigned to one by the choosing of their General. Once the Recruit has learned the essentials of the military, they will automatically be promoted to Soldier. A Soldier’s duty is to obey the orders of their Commanders whether on the battlefield or on a weekly training op. Once the soldier is promoted to Commander, they begin to hold the reigns of leadership over a platoon. The duties of a Commander include: Leading their platoon in battle or training ops, tracking the accomplishments of their soldiers, and being informed by Generals of what their tactical orders are to accomplish a mission. A Commander will remain as a Commander until selected by the Secretary of Defense to be a General. A General’s duty includes: Working with the Secretary of Defense in planning to execute military goals, deciding consequences for insubordinate behavior, helping plan weekly training ops, and to coordinate troops in times of war.
The military will be completely made of volunteers and all military operations will be optional for soldiers to attend, however, when in attendance of a military operation all military personnel will obey only the orders of their superiors and will only act by their will. Any error in obeying commands will result in that soldier facing any repercussion their General sees fit. These repercussions include: demotion in rank, withdrawal/ temporary suspension from the military, or anything else the General sees fit.
The duties of the Secretary of Defense include: Be the representative of the Cascadian volunteer army. Manage the recruitment of military personnel, and fill the roles of the three essential units: Infantry, Artillery, and Reconnaissance. Establish and maintain weekly and routine military training exercises to uphold a strong defense. Provide the Senate with estimations for military spending. Be the secure holder of funds provided to spend on the military and ensure that the funds are spent accordingly to the orders of the senate. Advise the President and Senate on matters of national security. Ensure that all towns are guaranteed equal protection by the military. Appoint Commanders to become Generals.
