General
Praetorian Guard NL is one of the largest Military Units in the eNetherlands. It is a private military unit, under command of M. de Ruyter. Despite being a private MU, it has always followed the orders from the Dutch Ministry of Defense.
History
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.
Uniform
All soldiers in Praetorian Guard NL (and its predecessor ICA-NL) have to wear a uniform.
