Rat Legion

The Rat Legion is a corps of the armed forces of the Confoederatio Aemilia that consists of several specialties: infantry, cavalry and airborne troops. The Rat Legion was created in 1729 as global tensions rose and the fear of a global war became more prominent. The prospect of the confederation having to establish a system of conscription was extremely controversial, so Princess Emilia Antoinette explored other options. While visiting a cosmetic factory's laboratory, that had a a surplus of rats following the ban of animal testing in the confederation, she came up with the idea. Reportedly, the rats were offered luxury cosmetic products that they had come to enjoy while they were being tested on, and were more than willing to serve in the armed forces in return for a steady supply of hydration products and perfume. While the confederation has published images of these rats riding tanks, carrying rifles and performing airborne missions, foreign critics have expressed doubts whether the confederation was completely successful in creating a disciplined rodent army. Details on the number of servicerodents enrolled with the legion remain classified.
