The Kennedy Militia

thumb|Kennedy Militia battle standard.
The Kennedy Militia was a Montroig based national guard and militia movement. The name is derived from the groups founder, former Montroigan Minister of Resources JackFKennedy. The group advocated for Montroig's rightful lands in the upper Montroigan peninsula and Baldia's Backyard (named after its close proximity to New Baldia) be turned over from Chevkri to Montroig.
The militia was disbanded in early October 2021, but was reactivated on Kennedy's orders in early November 2021. Kennedy had the militia serving as a purely non-political defense force outside the authority of the Loyalist Uldarash Federal Government, or the Montroigian or Alfheimian governments.
The Kennedy Militia has been described by some, specifically former Montroigian Minister of Infrastructure Lottie993 as a terrorist organization.
== History, Foundation, and Membership ==
On August 19th 2021, Montroig Minister of Resources JackFKennedy was attempting to gain more land for the Federal Republic of Montroig's expanding population. They turned their attention towards the upper Montroigan peninsula and Baldia's Backyard, both lands owned by the Republic of Chevkri but uninhabited by them. When initially attempting to buy the lands Chevkri's Apex, UrsusTheEngineer, refused to sell as he wished for Chevkri to remain territorially larger than Aurora. Following a failed bill introduced to the Montroigan Congress to launch a full military invasion into Chevkri, due to fear that Uldarash would send in its army to assist in Chevkri's defense, Kennedy then stated that they would create a militia outside of Montroig's national army to take the lands himself. The militia was officially founded on August 20th 2021 gaining 4 members in just one day. Kennedy slightly altered the militia's purpose and currently has it acting as New Baldia's national guard and not provoking anything with Chevkri, as the militia is far too weak to put up a fight against Chevkri and possibly the entirety of Uldarash, and Kennedy does not wish to risk losing their Minister position. 
== Ideology ==
The main beliefs of the Kennedy Militia is taking Montroig's rightful territories of Baldia's Backyard and Upper Montroig back from Chevkri and protecting New Baldia from any possible foreign threats. Higher ranking members in the Kennedy Militia, namely Kennedy himself, believes that Montroig should have a much more aggressive foreign policy and pushes for overseas colonies and more territory.
Originally, the group was heavily anti-Chevkri, but in November 2021, Kennedy started to distance the Militia from those views and keep it as a pure non-political militia tasked with the protection of Montroig and Alfheim
== Allegations of treason ==
Main article: The Kennedy conspiracyOn October 5th 2021, Kennedy Militia founder JackFKennedy was indicted on felony treason charges due to the militia, despite the fact that the militia never levied war against Chevkri or any other nation inside or outside of Uldarash, or attempted to overthrow the government.
Kennedy was banned on October 8th 2021, and disbanded the Militia shortly after. The Militia Discord was used for communication between Kennedy and Montrogian officials during the duration of their ban.
== Reestablishment ==
On November 9th 2021, two days after JackFKennedy was unbanned, they reestablished the Militia to serve as a defense force outside government authority for Loyalist Uldarash. The militia attempted to gain business status in Alfheim, but was declined. The militia sat idly for the duration of the war, and was permanently disbanded on January 2, 2021, following Loyalist Uldarash's surrender to the Second Empire of Uldarash.
