<span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="text-decoration: underline"><span style="font-size: 150%; line-height: 116%;">Everyone should at least take a look at this.</span></span></span><br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="text-decoration: underline">Sariel</span></span><br/>Sariel was created as part of the United States. It came under attack by multiple religious terrorists early in it's life due to the massive move of a few million who simply wouldn't tolerate the "Furries." What some of you may have noticed is that "Sariel" is an anagram for "Israel." Just to be clear, I'm not comparing the furry community to the plight of the Israelis or the Jewish community. I'm merely comparing the situation of the fictional nation of Sariel to Isreal and making a point. Like Israel, Sariel has a strong special forces military. The backbone of the Sarielian army is it's ability to disappear in less than a week. It's extremely mobile and relies heavily on Special Forces programs.<br/><br/>The capital of Sariel is "Monx" which is merely the renamed city that used to be "Sacramento."<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="text-decoration: underline">The Sword of Sariel</span></span><br/>The "Sword of Sariel" is the battlefield designation of the Sarielian Fourth Covert Task Force. The SoS is very well known and is a famous group, although not much is known about the actual unit. The group was formed originally as an eight man group for a single mission. During the mission, five out of the eight members in the group were killed, which is better than what was expected, which was only one man expected to make it out alive. The group came back from the mission and a new member was added. Thus, we come to the SoS unit that was deployed to Germaine before the invasion.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="text-decoration: underline">The 'Nines</span></span><br/>The original 'Nines unit was created by Monx in order to protect his interests with the splicing. It was folded into the Sarielian army as a special forces unit designated The 9th Mechanized Infantry Unit (MIU). The other MIU's are not special forces. The 'Nines are often referred to as "Land Cavalry" because of their typical tactical deployment. Their usual MO is to attack and move up quickly into enemy territory. They use a variety of vehicles from Humvees to light gun-buggies to lightly armored tanks. Sometimes they do move around on foot, but not often.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="text-decoration: underline">Dr. Sherman Monx</span></span><br/>Monx is the creator of the splicers, a brilliant medical doctor, and the original founder of the nation of Sariel. He's kind of the savior of the splicers and a very famous man amongst the Nation of Sariel. He died five years before the incident in Germaine. If he comes up, it's probably in a somber tone close to the same way someone from South Africa might talk about Nelson Mandella.
