Yalhuacan Military

The Yalhuacan Military is the Military of the country of Yalhuaca.

It is subdivided into 5 main clans, the Jatimi Brigaide, Xikatli Brigaide, Nasuti Brigaide, Pùkati Brigaide and Xampati Brigaide.

Each Brigaide has a Recruiting Center, usually deep in the territory that the Brigaide is responsible for. For example, the Xikatli Brigaide's recruiting center is located in the city of Umat Pèt, in the middle of the territory. Each Recruiting Center has a group of people, known as the Recruiters, who travel throughout the country and bring back people who want to join the military, usually Ciktop students who are not doing well enough academically to get into higher education. The military pays relatively well and requires intensive training in the Recruiting Center, which functions as a military base. Training can take years and involves use of different weapons, such as spears, knifes, swords and particularly bow and arrows. People are also trained in personal defense and fighting with no weapons. Since there is no threat to the kingdom currently, much of the military is for show and only very able bodied, strong, young men are chosen for the military. The Xampati Brigaide is responsible for defending the capital and the palace and is therefore disproportionately large so the best soldiers from across the peninsula are sent there, as that is where they are most necessary.

Most of the time, the job of the military is to quell any rebellion and they are often seen as authoritarian by the people. They function as the police in some ways, though only in cases of rebellion or crimes on a massive scale.

Each Brigaide is further subdivided into Pišuka, a Namayal word meaning "piece" or "bit." Each Pišuka is responsible for one city or one area between cities. Tàlhan Pet has two Pišuka. The largest Pišuka is the Southeastern Wetlands Pišuka in Pùkat, also known as Kulhantika Nukna Akn'oc Pišuka. The smallest is the downtown Tàlhan Pet Pišuka, or Pišuka Tàlhan Pet'oc.
