General
Praetorian Guard NL used to be one of the largest Military units in the Netherlands. It is a private military unit, under command of M. de Ruyter. Despite being a private MU, it has followed the orders from the Dutch Ministry of Defense for a long time: from its creation until ~ day 2486. On that day, Combat orders to fight for Norway against eNL were set.[1]
History
First years
Praetorian Guard NL was founded on day 1688. Originally it was founded as the Dutch branch of the Irish Citizens Army, and was called ICA-NL. During those days, members of ICA-NL could work in the ICA communes, and would be paid in weapons. This made ICA-NL grow rapidly into a major MU. However, after a while the communes were closed down, and it was deemed best if ICA-NL continued its own path. The name was changed to Preatorian Guards NL, and the new uniform was adopted. At the time the Netherlands were not on the map, so it was decided that the uniform should make the members recognisable abroad as being Dutch. This was achieved by using the prominently present orange colour.
Turmoil within the ranks
After M. de Ruyter emigrated to Norway, on 8 April 2014[2], a lot of people in the Netherlands became suspicious of the MU. Members however discussed the position of the MU, and a huge majority wanted to keep following the official eDutch military orders.
However, this clearly was not the end of it. M. de Ruyter actually misused the money for COs for probably Norway[3]. At that time, aside from Trannsvaal also djirtsdew left PG.
A few weeks after this article, eNL attacked Norway, to help its friends in the North Sea Protection Pact. M. de Ruyter, at that time the CP of Norway then used money from PG to set COs to fight for Norway, against the Netherlands.[1]. This incident again cost PG some its more prominent members, one of which was the long-time second commander, 071leiden. On the other hand, some of the members joined Norway instead.
At this point it is uncertain whether Preatorian Guard NL shouldn't simply be renamed Praetorian Guard Norway, as it's more and more beginning to act like it.
Uniform
All soldiers in Praetorian Guard NL (and its predecessor ICA-NL) have to wear a uniform.
