Porlos: Difference between revisions

=== Military and Law enforcement ===

The [[Porlosi Defense Forces]] are constitutionally subordinate to both the Prime Minister, via the Porlosi Defense Office, and the Assembly of the Woqalate, via the various Defense Committees. As of 2034, there are 96,000 personnel serving in the [[Porlosi Army]], 31,000 in the [[Porlosi Navy]], and 28,000 in the [[Porlosi Air Force]]. The PDF is organized on the essential principle of legitimate Porlosi self-defense: the repelling of any external military aggression in order to guarantee freedom of the Porlosi people, national sovereignty, and territorial integrity. Its secondary missions include committing to multinational operations within the framework of the [[League of Nations]], participating in internal support missions, assisting allied nations, and establishing a sub-regional defense system. Military service is voluntary, with enlistment age between 18 and 24 years old and no conscription. Decades of Tierradorian military influence and support allowed for the PDF to evolve into what it is today, with the PDF being considered as one of the best equipped in South Crona. The PDF manages its own weapon research facilities, shipyards, ordnance, tank and plane factories, mostly using resources imported from Tierrador and [[Alstin]]. Following the end of [[The Deluge]], real military expenditures declined steadily and the defense budget in 2026 was only about 0.56% of GDP, a historical minimum, below the Cronan average. Within the defense budget itself, funding for training and even basic maintenance has been significantly cut, a factor contributing to the accidental loss of the Porlosi submarine Kuaahalisa in 2029. Porlos has [[SCMDT|a mutual defense treaty]] with Tierrador, Ormatia, Ceylonia and Istrenya, and hosts three [[Tierradorian Defense Force|TDF]] military bases within its borders. Domestically, Porlos has a highly respected police force. The [[Porsaahi Paaturosia]] (Porlosi Patrol) has 9,000 total employees, with jurisdiction spanning the entire country. There are also local police departments in every settlement in the country. Crime in Porlos is one of the lowest in South Crona, with a rate of 950 per 100,000 people. Naqili, the country's largest city, was the safest city in Crona from 2023-2026

Porlosi cinema features a mix of Soqweux and Qabóri influences. Naqili is the main city in Porlosi cinema, as several Porlosi film producers are headquartered in the city. Notable Porlosi films include [[Insuaalir Duudos]] (''Island Guys''), [[Waptikaashiti]] (''Warrior''), [[Kuootai Apspat]] (''Just Kidding''), and ''[[The Last Job]]''. The popular Porlosi dark comedy and pseudo-documentary series [[Wealsaadafun]] (''Wealth Idiots''), which ran from 2007 to 2016 on [[TV9 Porsaahi]], focuses on a fictional group of incompetent investors who attempt to allocate the fund's billions while operating within the ethical investment guidelines set by a fictional group of even more incompetent Porlosi politicians. Each episode revolves around one or more of the investors accidentally breaking one insignificant guideline, which in turns starts a chain reaction of severely negative failures. The show was created as political satire, taking shots at the country's pension office for not specifying a specific list of straightforward investment guidelines, giving the investors who were in charge full freedom to invest the funds in whatever they chose, which lead to severe mishandling and many close calls of collapse. Eventually, the Assembly of the Woqalate would approve harsh ethical guidelines in 2012, ironically similar to those seen in the series.
