Military of the Wechua Nation

The Wechua Armed Forces are the military services of the Wechua Nation, comprising independent Army, Navy and Air Force components. Their primary mission is to safeguard the independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity of the country. As a secondary mission they participate in economic and social development as well as in civil defense tasks. The armed forces are subordinate to the Ministry of Defense and to the Sapa Wechua as Commander-in-Chief.

Despite being landlocked, the Wechua Nation has an agreement with Caputia for naval access at the Port of San Francisco. They have a small naval base east of the city that houses all eight of its ships and three submarines.

The National Police of Wechua is often classified as a part of the armed forces. Although in fact it has a different organization and a wholly civil mission, its training and activities as an anti-terrorist force have produced markedly military characteristics, giving it the appearance of a virtual fourth military service with significant land, sea and air capabilities. The National Police reports through the Ministry of Interior.

The Department of State Security serves as the Wechua secret police. Its stated purpose is to guarantee the safety of the Wechua Nation against both internal and external enemies. It maintains a vast network of citizens turned informants, and fights opposition by overt and covert measures, including hidden psychological destruction of dissidents. Its Directorate for Reconnaissance is responsible for both espionage and for conducting covert operations in the Keltian Green, and possibly in foreign nations. Its Main Department for Communications Security and Personnel Protection provides personal security for the Sapa Wechua, the Inkap Ratin and members of the Council of the Realm, and maintains and operates an internal secure communications system for the Wechuan Government.

In the year 1659 the Sapa Wechua entered into an agreement with the ESB Group covering the export of armaments and the provisions of services to the Wechua Nation. The total value of the agreement was a closely guarded secret but the arrangement allowed the Wechua to receive a significant quantity of small arms, armoured vehicles, and military aircraft, from factories in Normark.
