The Pelaxian Liberation Movement (PLM; Pelaxian: insert here) is an ethnic Pelaxian paramilitary organization that seeks the liberation of ethnic Pelaxians in Caphirian lands, and the annexation of the areas historically owned and inhabited by ethnic Pelaxians from the Caphiria. Pelaxian nationalism is a core tenet of the PLM, and the creation of Greater Pelaxia, which would include all Pelaxians in Sarpedon, highlighting Pelaxian culture, nation and ethnicity.
Roots of the PLM are in the ethnic conflicts between Pelaxians and Caphirians originates largely with the Great Schism of 1615, though tensions between Caphirians and the emergent Pelaxian culture existed prior to the formal separation. In the intervening centuries, Pelaxia gradually expanded at Caphiria's expense, but many Pelaxian-speakers still remained within Caphiria even after the Second Great War. Following the lack of action by the Pelaxian government in the decades after the war, officers and conscripts from the Pelaxian military seized an arms depot from the 4th Alpini Regiment stationed in south of the country and went into hiding, eventually reappearing in Caphirian territory where they initially focused on defending ethnic Pelaxian areas, to moving on the offensive.
The Government of Pelaxia quickly condemned the actions of the PLM, but reports of alleged official involvement in both the formation of and supplying of the PLM have floated around since the 1980s.
Background
Funding
The PLM receives funding from ethnic Pelaxians from both Pelaxia and abroad. Funds from those sympathizing with their cause also aren't uncommon. Pelaxian leftist organization Social Renovation Movement has also been confirmed to have smuggled weapons and supplies from abroad to the PLM via Pelaxia. The funding and supplies are often given to the ethnic Pelaxians in recent days, while in the 1970s and 1980s most of the funding and supplies went directly to the PLM to fund their operations.
PLM is also reported to have been involved in drug trafficking and manufacturing as a major source of income since the 1980s. Pelaxian investigative journalist Fiorida Basilvestri claims that her anonymous sources in the PLM confirmed this, but due to Basilvestri fervently refusing to name her source, the claim has never been confirmed.
Ever since the 1980s reports and conspiracy theories regarding Pelaxian government involvement in the conflict have sprouted up, attributed to the fact founders Acquino Ferrarone and Ignandro Guerri were both employed by the government in the past before their founding of PLM, and the quality and amount of arms PLM was in possession of in its heyday.
Recruitment
In Pelaxia
Originally founded by military officers and conscripts displeased with lack of government action following the massacre of Pelaxians in Caphiria, the majority of initial PLM members and recruits were military, or ex-military. Some officers and conscripts later on joined, but majority of those who joined later were unemployed, lower income men. PLM targeted this demographic in particular due to their lack of place in the world, and the PLM offering an honourable purpose in life. The PLM didn't discriminate based on tribes, with Pelaxians, Marinai and Montanaro are in its rank indiscriminately.
Foreign volunteers
Only a few confirmed reports of foreign nationals joining the PLM exist, but the demographic of the recruits is the same as those recruited in Pelaxia. Often the volunteers were of Pelaxian descent.
