Alsesian Air Service

The **Alsesian Air Service** (Alseslang: **Alses Aer Sluviz**), known until 1982 as the **Bālthorist Air Service**, is the air warfare service branch of the **Alsesian Armed Forces**. It is one of the Central Uniformed Services of Alsesia, and is designated as the Air Force of the state in the current constitution. The Air Service can trace its roots back to a branch subordinate to the Ground Army, dedicating itself to providing intelligence and bombardment through manned balloons.

As a military service branch, the AAS is under the jurisdiction of the Department of the Air Service under the Department of Defense. The Department of the Air Service is headed by a civilian senior appointed civil servant, the Secretary of the Air Service (SEKAERS) and by a chief air officer, the Master General of the Air Service (GJAS) who is also a member of the Committee of the Service Commanders (ZSK). The AGA is the third largest military branch, and in the fiscal year 2020, the projected strength for the Regular Air Force (REGAER) was **WIP** personnel and the Reserve Air Force (BEDAER) had **WIP** personnel. The combined-component strength of the Air Service was **WIP** personnel.

## History

The Air Service was established on December 4th, 1852 as a subordinate branch of the Ground Army. Throughout its early years, it made use of manned air balloons, pioneering intelligence gathering and maneuvering techniques. The Air Service provided valuable support during the Circum-Bolic War and the Kylish War of Independence, most notably in surveying the mountainous terrain of the latter conflict.

The first practical engine-powered airplanes became available in Norvangol in 1905 when BSN Industries unveiled their Flyer I. The Air Service quickly adopted this new technology, using planes for long-range reconnaissance during the Erbitar Rebellion.

The Air Service gained a far more prominent roll during the First Granish Continental War when it encountered peer opponents also using aircraft in combat. The practice of adding machine guns to aircraft as weapons became feasible with the invention of synchronization gear, invented in 1913 by Tomas Snoamik in Penburg. The early invention of the synchronization gear gave Norvangolian pilots an advantage in the initial stages of the war, as their enemies lacked a true answer. This technological gap was only remedied by mid 1915, by which point several fighter aces had been produced. The first such pilot was Fyodor Michesc on May 10th, 1914. Michesc would go on to found the Krascamvits, the first dedicated close air support and ground attack unit in history, on July 19th, 1917.

## Organization

One of the Air Service's premier special operations units is the Air Special Strike Group, which consists of 4 fighter and 2 bomber squadrons.

It is an economic ideology holding that, although people should own the value they produce themselves, the economic rent derived from land – including from all natural resources, the commons, and urban locations – should belong equally to all members of society. It was developed in the 19th century by Alsesian economist Norj Alskom.
Hel's Landun

Per Article 4 of the Constitution of the Federation of Granish States:

1. To ensure peace based on justice and order, the people and authorities of the Granish States forever renounce initiating war as a means of settling international disputes.
2. For the sole purposes of protecting the territorial integrity of the Federation and evacuating its citizens abroad in times of conflict, the Granish States shall retain Federal Defense Forces consisting of a land, naval, and air service.
3. The Federal Defense Forces shall not be deployed abroad outside of the territory of the Federation, except in Joint Bases and Operational Areas established by the states of the Zenolapolus Conference, and shall be subject to restrictions by the Conference to be revised annually.
20th Television Animation

**20th Television Animation** (formerly **Fox Television Animation** and **20th Animation**) is an American animation studio that creates, develops and produces animated television series and specials. It is a unit of Disney Television Studios, a subsidiary of Walt Disney Television, which is part of the Disney General Entertainment Content division of The Walt Disney Company and the television animation division of 20th Television owned by 20th Century Studios. The entity is a sister studio of 20th Century Animation.

## History

20th Century Fox has created its television animation division entitled in 1982 to produce animated shows as well as TV specials and TV movies. Prior to that, they partnered with Filmation Associates in the 1960s on *Journey to the Center of the Earth* and *Fantastic Voyage* and in early 1970s without them on *The Hardy Boys* and *Doctor Dolittle,* DePatie-Freleng Enterprises on *Return to the Planet of the Apes* and even with Hanna-Barbera Productions on *Rob and Flicka*.

Initially focusing on Saturday morning cartoons such as *Cheaper of the Dozen*, it expanded in 1989 with its first two cable show *Little Bo Peep and The Simpsons*. Fourth overseas Fox studios were set up to produce the company's animated television series in 1984. However, As direct-to-video increased in importance, the overseas studios moved to making feature films. In mid 1991, Fox created a new division named Fox SearchDark Animation, which typically produces animated films and television shows targeted to adult audiences. In 1993, after the acquisition of 20th Century Fox by News Corp., the television animation unit News Corp. Animation and its division Saban Animation were merged into its television animation unit, keeping Saban as a separate entity. It was expanded to produce shows for Fox Kids, and it took over production of Saban animated shows.

Most animated projects from 20th Television Animation are subcontracted to third party animation production companies such as Film Roman, Titmouse, Inc., Bento Box Entertainment and Rough Draft Studios, but the company maintains 20th Television Animation as an in-house option. Because the company acts as a production house for hire, it is not treated as a labeled division of 20th Century Studios like Touchstone Television or Searchlight Pictures. The studio specializes in animation pre-production and post-production, while the actual animation production is handled by studios in South Korea. 20th Television Animation's frequent contractors include Digital eMation, Yearim Productions, AKOM Production, and Rough Draft Korea.

The studio maintains a location in the Miracle Mile neighborhood of Los Angeles, Its workers are represented by The Animation Guild, I.A.T.S.E. Local 839.

Finst

## The Federal Republic of Finst

Flag of Finst

**Finst**, officially the **Federal Republic of Finst** (Komdeo: Finst Banulur Morugut), is a semi-presidential state located in southern Tarepas, Arpeia. Located in the eastern part of the Tarepasan Plate, the landmass constituting the country is referred to as the Finst Peninsula. The plate boundary is demarcated by the Kangrus Mountains, which marks Finst's borders with Nerid and Macaper.

## Etymology

The word Finst is ancient, and referred to a sacred ground in the language of the Kommors. The title of Banulur Morugut means "separately equal people's rulership", with "separate" and "equal" referring to the federalism in the country that ensures all states retain equal rights and powers.

## Demographics

### Ethnicities and Race

Although Finst is overwhelmingly Kommor, the Kommor divide themselves into ethno-religious groups based on which patron god of Sabusa they worship. The seven recognized divisions, by population size, are the Sumakar, Erunhard, Veatol, Lues, Duwat, Apeas, and Oesse.

### Religion

The overwhelming majority of Finstians are Sabusites.

## Government and Politics

The Bahul Morukurt, Komdeo for Magnificent People's House, is the unicameral legislature of Finst.

Education in Alsesia

**Education in Alsesia** is provided by a mixture of state-run public schools and government-accredited private schools at the primary, secondary, and tertiary levels. Education is compulsory for all citizens from the ages of 3 to 19. The phases of schooling are divided into 4 years of Early School, 6 years of Primary School, 3 years of Secondary School, and 3 years of Tertiary School. The education curriculum and timeline is unified by the National Standard Education System, or NSES, and is revised by an independent commission appointed by the Department of Education.

Unlike most other education systems, Alsesia divides admissions into schools based on the quarter of a year a child was born in. This division, implemented in 1964, remains in place to minimize the relative age effect.

## History

*Main Article: History of Education in Alsesia*

### 18th Century

Czar Visedard I first mandated in 1762 that all citizens should be taught to read the Kodex of Mordprav. Although this policy did not achieve great success, it noticeably increased literacy rates, which many social reformers paid close attention to.

## Structure and Stages

Under the NSES, required formal education is divided into four distinct stages: Early (Suyt), Primary (Hant), Secondary (Dult), and Tertiary (Selt) Schools. Translated *literally* from Alseslang, they would be called Beginning, First, Second, and Third Schools.

Children are placed in Early Schools beginning at the age of three. These schools are designed to introduce the children to the concepts of learning, as well as teaching initial socialization skills.
Air Special Strike Group

The **Air Special Strike Group** (Alseslang: Aer Spesol Struik Grup), abbreviated as **ASSG**, is a mixed fighter-bomber unit of the Alsesian Air Service dedicated to deep strike operations above enemy territory in which air superiority is not established. It was founded on August 15th, 1956 due to the inability of early guided munitions to effectively hit targets, especially in contested airspace.

The ASSG currently utilizes F-11 Dragons as their fighter and P-6 Storms as their bomber.

**Motto:** “Fukrascamvitiz, Parhanshar Tarwas.” (We are the righteous wind, triumph follows.)

Royal Guard of Alsesia

## Overview

### Founded

September 9th, 27 BGC as the Czar's Life GuardsSeptember 1st, 1729 AGC as the Royal Guard

## Operational Structure

### Professional Leader

Custodian General Flējan Byorkrau

The **Royal Guard of Alsesia (Czarol Gard of Alsesia)** is a contingent of the Alsesian National Guard tasked with the protection of the Czar(a), President and other VIPs in government. The responsibility of Royal Guardsmen extend from serving as bodyguards in public to monitoring mail delivered to their charge.

Czar(a) and immediate family, President, Chief Justice, and the Speaker of the Sobrut.

### Tier II:

Cabinet Officials, Upper House Legislators (outside of the Sobrut Complex), Agency Directors, Supreme Court Justices, Royal Advisors, and the spouses of other Tier I VIPs.

Lower House Legislators (outside of the Sobrut Complex) and the Governors of Provinces and Territories.
Frondic System

The Frondic system is a system of measurement based on the Frond introduced in Alsesia in the early 1800s.

## Background

In the late 1700s, Czar **WIP** determined that the archaic systems of weights and measures in the country ought to be reformed. Then-President Alber Velirit championed a new system based on natural units, proposing to the Sobrut in 1793 that such a system be developed. The Sobrut formed a special commission for this purpose, which decided that the standard of length should be based on the size of the planet. They defined that length to be the 'frond' and its length as one hundred-millionth of the length of a quadrant on Arpeia's surface from the equator to the north pole. In 1797, after the length of that quadrant had been surveyed, the new system was launched in Alsesia.
Constitution of Alsesia

The Constitution of Alsesia is the supreme law of Alsesia. The document sets in place the division of government into the royal, executive, legislative, and judicial branches.

The current constitution is the fourth constitution in the nation's history. It was officially ratified on April 13th, 1982. The first constitution was created in the aftermath of the First Nogod Civil War, while the second was the result of the Nogod Succession Crisis following the sudden deaths of several key government officials within a short timeframe. The third constitution came into effect on March 11th, 1942 following the end of Second Nogod Civil War and winding hostilities in the Second Granish Continental War.
Structure of the Alsesian Naval Service

The **Alsesian Naval Service** is structured around three institutions: the Admiral Committee, the Operating Forces, and the Shore Forces. The civilian-led Department of the Navy is responsible for all command functions and oversight.

## Active and Reserve Components

The ANS is composed of the Regular and Reserve Navies. The Regular Navy (Regyul Nevy) consists of personnel actively serving in the Ground Army, while the Reserve Navy (Bedzēl Nevy) consists of personnel who have either transitioned from active service or have enlisted specifically as a reservist. Since all enlistment contracts have a ten-year commitment, a significant proportion of the Reserve Navy is made up of sailors waiting out the last years of their contract. In times of war, parts of the National Guard, especially the Coastal Guard, may become subordinated to the Regular Navy. The Reserve Navy and its materiel are considered one of the Naval Service's Operating Forces.

## Administration

### Navy Department Headquarters

The ANS is led by a civilian Secretary of the Navy, who reports to the secretary of defense, and serves as civilian oversight for the Master Admiral of the Naval Service (GANS). The GANS is assisted by the Vice Master Admiral. The GANS is a member of the Committee of the Service Commanders (ZSK), a body composed of the service chiefs from each service who advise the President and secretary of defense on military matters under the guidance of the ZSK.

### Admiral Committee

The Admiral Committee is a body responsible for controlling operational procedures and doctrine in the ANS, as well as assisting the Master Admiral in their duties.

The Committee consists of:

* The Vice Master Admiral (VGANS),
	+ Chairman of the Admiral Committee (LAZ),
		- Naval Personnel Director (NFD),
		- Naval Intelligence Director (NID),
		- Naval Operations Director (NOD),
		- Naval Logistics Director (NLD),
		- Master Medic (GM),
		- Reserve Navy Master (BNG),

## Operating Forces

The Operating Forces consist of ten components:

* Alsesian Eastern Fleet
* Alsesian Western Fleet
* Alsesian Trolrem Fleet
* Operations Command
* Auxiliary Watercraft Command
* Expeditionary Support Command
* Cyber Forces
* Naval Air Service
* Special Forces Command
* Reserve Navy

The three fleets do not independently carry out military operations. Instead, they serve as maintainers for naval assets such as vessels that are assigned to a General Region Command of the Armed Forces. Within each GRC is a naval component named a Battlefleet, which contains all of the ships organized into operational formations.
Karem Schetz

(PLACEHOLDER) Portrait c. 1941

**Karem Alevi Schetz**, 81st Yarbar of Rekest, HAN, OZ, ORC (born **Kar'em Aleuvi Scheres**; October 4th, 1899 - December 15th, 1973) was a Dekamese-born Norvangolian military officer and statesman who served as the nation's 2nd Secretary of Defense from 1948 to 1953. During the Second Nogod Civil War and the First World War, he served as the Master General of the Ground Army, and was responsible for the organization and development of the country's military throughout both conflicts. Schetz also played a critical role in the planning major operations such as Staren Māvrēp and Kavtel. Nicknamed the **Lion (Dego) of Norvangol**, Schetz is considered by historians to be one of the greatest military commanders of the 20th century.

## Early Life

Born to a family of Rur'walites in rural western Dekam, Schetz and his family were forced to flee after their village was raided by **WIP** in March of 1907. During the evacuation, the family was escorted by a company of Norvangolian army troops, who skirmished several times with **WIP** raiders. Their actions deeply influenced young Kar'em, who became infatuated with the idea of serving as a soldier. With nothing to their name, his father, Nanzur, accepted an overseas job as a laborer in Irnia Province. The Scheres arrived in Norvangol on July 2nd, 1907, where the immigration offices Alsesized their surnames to Schetz, and Kar'em's given name to Karem.

## Quotes

"You have spent a thousand years keeping a good man in chains over the color of his skin. Because of this, he will not fight for you. You have spent a thousand years torturing a good man because he loved another good man. Because of this, they will not fight for you. You have spent a thousand years keeping a good woman down because she was not born with a snake between her legs. Because of this, she will not fight for you.

You fight a war you lost before it ever started. For we fight in the name of the Czar, and his will is law, his power is infinite, and his wish for all mankind is ***FREEDOM!***"

Cabinet of Alsesia

The **Cabinet of Alsesia** is part of the executive branch of the central government of Alsesia, and is regarded as the principal advisory body to the President of Alsesia. The members of the Cabinet are the Speaker of the Sobrut and the heads of the executive departments, all of whom, if eligible, are in the presidential line of succession.

Members of the Cabinet (except for the Speaker) are appointed by the President and confirmed by the Sobrut. Once confirmed, they serve at the pleasure of the president, who may dismiss them at any time unless denied by the Royal Authority. Cabinet members, similarly to the President, are also subject to impeachment and trial in the Sobrut for "treason, bribery, gross incompetence, degeneracy, or other high crimes and misdemeanors".

The president can also unilaterally designate individuals as members of the Cabinet, although this is a symbolic status and does not, apart from attending Cabinet meetings, confer any additional powers to a person, including a spot in the line of succession.

Departments were known as Ministries until the passage of the 1942 Constitution.
President of Alsesia

The **President of the United Republic of Alsesia (Prēzadyn of de Soyut Volkstāt of Alsesia),** or **POSVA**, is the head of government of Alsesia. The President is the leader of the executive branch of the Alsesian Central Government, and the commander-in-chief of the Alsesian Armed Forces.

The office of President was established in 1732, as part of the government reforms following the First Nogod Civil War. The idea behind the office of President was that an executive appointed by the democratically elected legislature would create a sense of legitimacy. The first holder of the office, Visedard Bālthor I, served a single term under the documents that formed the First Bālthorist State.

Until Rodrik Ormitak's government passed the Presidential Elections Act of 1894 (PEA), elected members of the Sobrut voted for their preferred presidential candidate. The PEA resulted in the 1894 election referendums, as well as the first nationwide election in 1897.

Prior to the Alsesian Spring, Presidents were able to serve an unlimited number of five-year-long terms. The reforms following the Spring resulted in the creation of a three term limit, which remains in place.

Both the powers of the President and the method of electing them have changed significantly over time. Previously, the President was appointed to a term lasting five years by the Sobrut. The President could not, unlike in most parliamentary systems, be removed without an impeachment.
Chamor Vehicle Family

The **Chamor Vehicle Family**, named after the large lizard species, is a family of amphibious, tracked armored fighting vehicles produced by BSN Defense for the Alsesian Marine Corps. Chamor vehicles are designed to be launched from amphibious assault ships, and feature hydroplanes.

Executive Departments of Alsesia

**Executive Departments** in Alsesia are the component units of the government's executive branch, headed by the President. Until 1942, they were referred to as **Ministries**.

Each Department is headed by a Secretary, with the exception of the Department of Laws, which is headed by the Attorney General. Department heads are appointed by the President and confirmed by the Sobrut. Once confirmed, they serve at the pleasure of the president, who may dismiss them at any time unless denied by the Royal Authority. Cabinet members, similarly to the President, are also subject to impeachment and trial in the Sobrut for "treason, bribery, gross incompetence, degeneracy, or other high crimes and misdemeanors".

 Homs drat wuē patars tyvunpFelds vrēg wuē iēdars norpFrom Tamborsk to Olt KylanWu brogtor frei and yorgav
Higher Education in Alsesia

**Higher education in Alsesia** is an optional stage of education following graduation from Tertiary School. Alsesia's higher education system is composed of public and private universities, liberal arts colleges, and vocational schools. Various degrees are offered by Alsesian higher education, and it is estimated that some 78% of the population between the ages of 21-31 have attained at least a 2-year degree (Apprentice/Krexāt) in some subject. Approximately 61% in the age group have earned a 4-year degree (Freeman/Freipan), with some 19% having earned a 6-year (Master/Gosp) or higher degree. All institutions must be approved by the Higher Education Board of the Department of Education.

Unlike many other countries, the Alsesian higher education system accepts only students who have been educated under the NSES, FEP, or IFES systems. Foreigners with a diploma in these systems are free to apply to an Alsesian university, visas permitting.

## Public Institutions

Public universities in Alsesia are divided into the National (Nacionen) and Provincial (Blosten) level. National Universities are funded with a direct grant from the Department of Education based on factors such as enrollment, programs, existing income, and location. Provincial Universities are funded by the government of the province utilizing methods similar to the DoE’s.

A general rule of thumb for telling whether a public university is National or Provincial is through the name. A university deriving its name from a geographical feature such as a hill, mountain, or lake (e.g Star Mont University) is a National one, while a name taken from a settlement, or containing the name of the province (e.g Nordgard University in Helmgard), is always a Provincial University. Universities named after individuals are the most difficult to guess, as they can be either of the two or Private. A university named for a Czar, however, will always be a National University.

Alseslang

**Alseslang** is the native name of the **Alsesian Standard Language** (**Alses Standat Langat**). Alseslang is a constructed language that serves as an auxiliary tongue for the myriad of peoples inhabiting the country. Learning to speak and write Alseslang is mandatory in all provinces and territories, and the language has become globally relevant in business and science.

The National Institute for Alsesian Languages (NIAL), under the Department of Culture, is responsible for maintaining the orthography of Alseslang, in addition to making adjustments in vocabulary.

Alseslang is considered one of the Three Pillars of Alsesia, alongside Mordprav and the Volksskus.
Alsesian Marine Corps

The **Alsesian Marine Corps** (Alseslang: **Alses Marin Korps**), known until 1982 as the **Bālthorist Marine Corps**, is the naval infantry service branch of the **Alsesian Armed Forces**. It is one of the Central Uniformed Services of Alsesia, having been established as a separate branch in order to conduct amphibious operations and expeditionary warfare.

As a military service branch, the AMaK is under the jurisdiction of the Department of the Navy under the Department of Defense. The Department of the Navy is headed by a civilian senior appointed civil servant, the Secretary of the Navy (SEKNEVY) and by a chief marine officer, the Master General of the Marine Corps (GJMaK), who is also a member of the Committee of the Service Commanders (ZSK). The AmaK is the fourth largest military branch, after the Ground Army, Naval Service, and the Air Service, and in the fiscal year 2020, the projected strength for the Regular Marines (REGMAR) was **WIP** personnel and the Reserve Marines (BEDMAR) had **WIP** personnel. The combined-component strength of the Marine Corps was **WIP** personnel.

The traditional objective of the marines has been to secure beacheads in order to allow army units better suited for sustained combat to land and transfer combat duties.

## Equipment

The MaK relies on their sister service for transportation and fixed wing air support. For a detailed list of equipment such as small arms and logistics vehicles, see the list.

### Aircraft

Although fixed-wing aircraft operations are left to the Naval Service, the Marine Corps operates helicopters for purposes such as close air support, transport, and logistics.

Marine Corps helicopters are often smaller than their Ground Army counterparts, mostly as a result of being stationed aboard amphibious warships.

### Armored Vehicles

The Marine Corps does not operate main battle tanks, but instead utilizes amphibious assault guns and infantry-fighting vehicles. Marine Corps Battalions are classified as Assault, Heavy, and Light, based on whether they make use of assault guns, IFVs, or APCs as part of their deployment ashore.

### Artillery

The Marine Corps makes use of towed and self-propelled artillery, the latter of which comes from vehicles capable of amphibious operations.
List of Monarchs of Alsesia

Since the House of Bālthor established the monarchy of Alsesia, there have been 76 individual Czar(a)s, with 2 of them serving multiple reigns due to extreme circumstances such as changing positions with a relative to handle a national crisis personally. Therefore, the number of monarchs is listed as 78, a quirk of Alsesian historians counting each reign in such a way.

Unlike most monarchies on Arpeia, the Bālthors practice a form of lateral succession.

Culture of Alsesia

The **culture of Alsesia** is influenced by its unique history, ethnic and linguistic diversity, and its longevity as a nation and state.

## Fashion

Most attire in Alsesia is most commonly represented by netzorts, a traditional shirt design that has been updated throughout the centuries to be used in situations both casual and formal. The typical netzort consists of two pieces of fabric, the under and overpiece, sewn together. The underpiece is a typical shirt that features a v-shape collar. It can be both long or short sleeved, and is often made of wool or linen. The overpiece is sewn on top of the first, but is slightly shorter as to allow parts of the underpiece of be visible. It is most commonly made using a thin layer of silk.

Netzorts were typically associated with the upper-class of the Kylish Empire, but grew common due to the abundance of wool and silk sources in northern Granheim.

For business, netzorts are commonly worn under a button-down jacket called a vitsigar, made of linen or wool, depending on the season. The typical vitsigar has nine buttons running up the front, while the collar is used to hold lanyards and the like. It is customary to only wear them outdoors.

A traditional piece of headwear is the Mavskēn Kap (Leather Cap), commonly referred to as a mavskēn. Mavskēns consist of a cloth cap bolted to a shaped leather front with a brim. While fashionable for civilians, mavskēns are popular as part of police and military uniforms, especially during formal events. Brimless mavskēns are also common.
Sheridan Steel

**Sheridan steel** refers to a kind of steel that was manufactured extensively in the northern provinces of Alsesia. The steel was reputed for its durability and usefulness in tools.

## History

The name of Sheridan steel comes from the Sheridan dynasty, which ruled over most of the lands north of the Norlam Mountains before submitting to the Czar.

## Composition

A study conducted in 2016 by the University of Sheridan Pines found that due to naturally occurring impurities in the iron sources for Sheridan steel, the alloy bore a remarkable resemblance to L6 tool steel.
Do You See It?

**Do You See It?** (Alseslang: Du Bē Drat) is the official march song of the Alsesian Naval Service.

## Lyrics

Shkolze

**Shkolzes** are a dish consisting of bread and leafy vegetable wrapped around fillings of meat, spices, and other ingredients. They are traditionally made using rodnui bread and brechtul leaves are wrapped around fillings. The brechtul leaf is present to protect the bread from the moisture inside, which could otherwise cause the shkolze to break apart. Shkolzes are considered a quintessential, if not *the* national dish of Alsesia.

Due to the ubiquity of the dish, there are many regional variations in Alsesia and abroad.
MR-7 Rifle Family

The **MR-7 Rifle Family**, officially the **Militarized Mogzvak Pattern 15 Rifle**, is a family of assault rifles and carbines adapted from the Mogzvak P-15 for the Alsesian Armed Forces. The original MR-7 rifle utilized a 5.56x45mm cartridge with a 20-round magazine, and has since grown to use a 30-round magazine for most operations.

The MR-7 made its combat debut in 1965, serving with special forces operators in Yansem during its civil war. The rifle was well-received due to its reduced weight and reliability compared to its predecessor, the MR-6. In 1967 it officially replaced the MR-6 as the service rifle of the armed forces, and was used extensively throughout the wars in Alon-Gaseriz and Kozobak.

Out of the many infantry rifles present in these wars, the MR-7 was particularly praised, with its forward-assist and chrome-plated bore being noted as granting it an advantage over its contemporaries. One noted issue with early MR-7s was that the design allowed soldiers to accidentally press the magazine release button while closing the ejection port cover, which was largely rectified by adding a rib on the side of the receiver. In addition to the release issue, the 20-round magazine was criticized for providing insufficient firepower outside of prone-shooting, which resulted in the standardization of a 30-round magazine by 1972.

In the modern day, the carbine version of the MR-7, **MR-7K**, has largely replaced its rifle counterpart in frontline units, owing to its lighter-weight and comparable performance. The MR-7 family is slated to be replaced by the new MR-9 rifle by the late 2020s.
