Sakkutuut

The Sakkutuut is the united armed forces of the Nuuk Empire, and previously that of the Federal Republic of Greenland and the Greenlandic Workers' Republic. It was founded by Eske Illejan in 2019 as the official military of Greenland, but was forcibly deactived in 2084 when the Workers' Republic of Greenland was forced to become a puppet of the EGR. It was reactivated in secret in 2889 by WRG Premier Albung Maelsoq. After the Greenlandic Civil War brought the WRG to an end in 2906, it became the official armed forces of the Empire of Greenland under Emperor Ole I. It remains the forces of the Nuuk Empire to this day.
==History==
The Sakkutuut was originally founded in 2019 by Eske Illejan as the official military of the Federal Republic of Greenland. Before, the loose confederation of militias under Illejan had referred to themselves as the Sakkutuut, but the group wasn't officially united until 2019 when Illejan declared its existence. There was a brief panic from June 29th to July 12th, 2018 regarding the Sakkutuut, however. During the Greenlandic Revolution, the Sakkutuut consisted of a group of loosely-allied militias and cliques, united only through their loyalty to the Greenlandic independence movement. After the war, Eske Illejan declared the unity of the Sakkutuut as a coherent military force. However, the military cliques saw themselves more as independent entities now that the war for independence was over. Regionalist tendencies divided these cliques, with the main rivals being the Qaanaaq Militia and the Upernavik Clique. The biggest fear was the collapse of the Greenlandic nation into a Warlord Era. However, Eske Illejan stepped in. He bought out lower-ranking officials in these militias, and they happily took the opportunity to betray their higher-ups. The opportunity to work for the federal government undermined the leaders of the militias, and they fell out of popular support before being disbanded.
