Rheinbund
Established Nation
The weapons industry in Rheinbund has quite an interesting history. About 90 years ago, several Rheinian companies decided to bundle their efforts in producing military planes and military vehicles upon initiative of the government, which decided to take a share in the Rheinian defence industries as well. Since then, the Rheinian defence industry developed into a conglomerate of companies producing everything from tanks and APCs via various kinds of artillery to planes and missiles.
Currently, the weapons industry in Rheinbund consists of the following companies:
Any foreign purchase from the Rheinian defence industries has to be approved by the government of the Rheinbund.
