Fortlese Youth Brigade

The Fortlese Youth Brigade (Spanish: Brigada Juvenil Fortlese, often abbreviated as either FYB or BJF, and alternatively FYB/BJF) was the youth organisation of the Fortnite Party in Fortland. Its origins date back to 1947 and briefly went under the name League of Young Kopfmann Followers ("Liga de Jóvenes Seguidores de Kopfmann") between 1953 and the death of Levi Kopfman in 1954. From 1957 until 2022, it was the sole official boys' youth organisation in Fortland and it was partially a paramilitary organisation. It was composed of the Fortlese Youth Brigade proper for male youths aged 12 to 18, the Middle Brigade of the FYB (Brigada Media del BJF or "BMBJF", also "BMB") for younger boys aged 7 to 12, and the Brigade known as the Young Children's Brigade of Fortland (Brigada de niños pequeños de Fortland or "BNPF") for boys aged six and under. 
With the fall of the Fortlese Union in 2022, the organisation de facto ceased to exist. On March 1st, 2022, the Fortlese Youth Brigade and its subordinate units were outlawed by the Senate along with other Fortnite Party organisations. Under Section 41 of the Reformed Criminal Code of the Second Fortlese Republic, the Fortlese Youth Brigade is an "unconstitutional organisation" and the distribution or public use of its symbols, except for educational or research purposes, is illegal.
== Origins ==
The organisation has it's roots in the Communist Youth organisation (Spanish: Juventud Comunista, JC), a youth sub-branch of the Fortnite Party formed in October of 1947. The JC had it's first meeting on the 3rd of November that same year. Based in St. Henderson, it served to train and recruit future members of the Communist Defence Unit (UDC), the main paramilitary wing of the Fortnite Party at that time. This organisation meshed into the Fortlese Youth Brigade in 1953 with the victory of the communists in the Fortlese Civil War. All other youth organisations in Fortland were subsequently either banned or merged into the BJF.

At the Brigade's height in 2015, the BJF had around 900,000 confirmed members as stated by official Fortlese government sources. Various independent sources have given different totals. It has been estimated that at least all Fortlese children born between the years of 1953 and 2017 were part of the BJF at some point in their lives.
Despite rare instances of disaffection, overall, the Fortlese Youth Brigade constituted the single most successful of all the mass movements in the Fortlese Union.
