Interior Army Gets Makeover

The Angliarique Interior Army’s assets will undergo a major restructuring and revitalisation programme, in the aim of national defence. The Angliarique Permanent Government introduced this changed after convening for a rare session at the Manor of Valeria to discuss military affairs.

The Angliarique Land Force, the ‘Unified Force’ will continue conscription efforts, as factories are encouraged and subsidised to manufacture armaments. The entire conscription and weapons project is estimated to cost 20 billion Dahls (or 6.6 billion EM).

The Angliarique Air Force, the 'Airborne Vanguard' will undergo a revitalisation programme involving a process of rapid rearmament and replacement of old aircraft with modern equipment. The project is to cost an estimated 43 billion Dahls (or 14.3 billion EM).

The Angliarique Navy, the ‘Crown Armada’ will see the complete replacement of vessels aged more than 7 years. It is expected to cost 60 billion Dahls (or 20 billion EM). The project is rumoured to involve the building of more than 8 shipyards and the construction of more than 60 missile-capable ships.

The project has been opposed by protests from the Spascirian-led Angliarique Peace League (APL), a spokesman told the Regnal Press, “The record spending of 123 billion Dahls will ruin the welfare of the people, already food subsidies have been removed, and rationing is the reality, we object to rapid remilitarisation at the expense of the livelihoods of ordinary Angliarisians and Spascirians.

APG Taps Into Royal Reserves, Raises Taxes

For the 1st time in more than 200 years, His Majesty Emperor Angliareich has granted the Angliarique Permanent Government complete access into the Angliareich Treasure Palace located under the Manor of Valeria.

The palace holds tens of thousands of historical artifacts originating from all around the world. Ancient weapons, holy relics, and well-preserved monuments clutter the palace, which have been estimated in total to be worth more than 7.6 billion EM. The historical grant is rumoured to be part of the APG’s efforts in securing political and economic resources vital to national security.

Meanwhile, the APG has also raised the rate of income tax from 10 to 20% for Spascirians, and 5% to 15% for Angliarisians. This comes after the Interior Army’s revitalisation programme caused the government to enter deficit spending. The measure is expected to improve the APG’s balance sheet for the short term, as experts warn that high taxes may lead to reduced business growth in the long term.

Nation’s Might On Display


Port Lionheart

On Sunday, the Angliarique Interior Army will be holding a massive parade, to celebrate the success of its conscription efforts.

The parade will involve all branches of the Interior Army, including most of its assets.

Beginning with the Unified Force (UF), the heavily-trained national ground forces of Angliarique that totals nearly 150,000 servicemen. As of the publication of this article, there are 90,000 men on active duty, whilst 60,000 are in reserve.

The Unified Force comprises of 2 regiments, including a special forces unit.
  • The Darkford Regiment: 20,000 active, 20,000 reserve
  • The Carpathia Regiment: 50,000 active, 30,000 reserve
  • The Valerian Guard: 30,000 active
  • Total number of tanks: 500
  • Total transport vehicles: 2,200
This branch of the Interior Army was founded in the early 18th century by the 20th Duke of Greater Carpathia, a warlord that at his peak reigned over a kingdom 7 times greater than modern day Carpathia.

Then, the Airborne Vanguard (AG), the air-force of Angliarique that totals 4,500 personnel, with the total number of aircraft hovering just below 60. As of the publication of this article, there are 2,000 men on active duty, whilst 2,500 men are in reserve.

The Airborne Vanguard comprises of 3 squadrons.
  • The Horizon 1st Squadron: 2 Divisions, 7 fighter jets each
  • The Horizon 2nd Squadron: 20 Heavy Transport Helicopters, 2 Transport Aircraft
  • The Horizon 3rd Squadron: 20 Heavy Transport Helicopters, 2 Transport Aircraft
This branch of the Interior Army was founded in 1975, to appease Angliarique nationalists’ demands for a national air force, to display the empire’s might and strength.

Finally, the Crown Armada (CA), the navy of Angliarique that totals 34 ships, including the CA’s museum fleet. As of the publication of this article, the total personnel serving for the CA stands just shy of 35,000 people.

The Crown Armada (Modern) comprises of 2 fleets.
  • Crown Armada One: 1 frigate, 2 corvettes, 3 fast attack craft, 5 patrol boats
  • The Rear Armada: 1 frigate, 1 corvette, 3 fast attack craft, 5 patrol boats
The Crown Armada (museum) comprises of 1 fleet.
  • The Angliarique Superfleet: 11 galleons, 2 aircraft carriers
This branch of the Interior Army has 2 divisions. The modern fleet entered service in 2008, while the museum fleet has been in service for more than 100 years, starting with 5 galleons in the late 19th century. The carrier fleet entered service 40 years ago, and boasts 30 dive bomber aircraft per ship. The museum fleet is currently on an escort mission at Frescania, the mission itself has been a source of controversy in recent times.

Long Live Angliareich!

Regnal Press - BREAKING
Emergency Declared, Regent Appointed!

His Majesty Emperor Angliareich in a speech to the public on Friday, declared that the Angliarique Empire would now be under a state of emergency. God Save the Emperor! Long Live the Emperor.

The Emperor announced in a surprise address to the curious public, from the balcony of the chancellor’s office at the Sanctum of Laurels. His Majesty read from an official document:

“Lords, Ladies, and citizens of Angliarique! Last night, I was informed by the chancellor on developments surrounding the Frescanian incident, and international overreactions towards it. The chancellor sincerely expressed to me, that the innocent incident has now spiralled out of the government’s direct control, in that a conference for détente has failed. As such the chancellor further expressed his wishes, that necessary steps and measures must now be undertaken to protect and defend the rightful interests of the Angliarique Realm. Similarly, my deputies in government have expressed their views, agreeing on the fact that, without a doubt, the international situation, and the current climate of our relations with regard to various nations, has reached a terminal point. And that I should now undertake the responsibility entrusted to me as Emperor of this prestigious realm, and defend our vulnerable citizens in this time of grave national urgency.”

“It is then under this consensus that I, Emperor Angliareich II, on the 25th day of November 2023, issue this proclamation, and do decree as provided by Article 16 of the Angliarique Imperial Ordinances, that whereas the permanent deputies and the Angliarique citizens have expressed a united belief that our empire is under an existential threat, and whereas evident threats have emerged to the fullest extent of potentially harming the empire’s citizens, it must then be my sole duty as Emperor and Supreme Custodian of this realm to exercise the powers vested in me by the throne, in this decree that an imperial state of emergency now exists in Angliarique.”

“Therefore, under this present emergency, in the effort of securing survival of the Angliarique peoples’ monarchy, and the safety of the realm in its entirety. I appoint Crown Prince Haglia Angliareich to undertake the duty, and exercise with discretion the powers vested in that of the, Prince Regent of the Angliarique Empire for an indefinite period, effective on the 25th day of November 2023. Signed, Emperor Angliareich II, on the twenty-fifth day of November, in the year two thousand and twenty-three.”

The Angliarisian public responded well to the anouncement, shouting slogans supportive of the emperor, everytime His Majesty paused. But this news is expected to draw considerable flak from pacifist groups, and the anti-royal Spascirians.

Developing Stories:
  • APG sources say, high-level 'diplomat' to meet Tarusan leader, in coming days.
  • Chancellor condemns several foreign leaders, for 'irresponsible' remarks and 'misleading' statements, over recent Frescanian Controversy.
  • Interior Governor visits Port Lionheart, says, 'counter-terrorism' preparations underway.
  • Angliarique Central Bank meeting concludes, officials say, economy in 'stable' position.
