The Green Army or Hluttaw is a paramilitary and political organization in the island of Zhijun. Formed in the early 1980’s to fight the Corummese central government and its control of Zhijun, it held portions of the island with various degrees of success. Increasing pressure by Linge Chen’s government led to its weakening and partial atomization into separate groups, with most of these cells later being co opted into submission by Mirzak. In the present day the Zhijun Regional Administration is entirely under the control of Green Army members, from the office of Chief Minister to all 300 seats in the Zhijun Sovereign Assembly. At the same time the Green Army functions as a military unit under the direct control of the Ministry of Interior.
History
The Green Army has its origin in the historic divide between the Corummese settlers living in the island's central and less accesible highlands(known locally as the Hluttaw or Green Men) and the wealthier settlers living on the coast(called Shwayttaw or Gold Men), richer due to trade and more firmly under the control of the metropolis. Over the centuries of Corummese control, the Hluttaw would routinely burst forth from the highlands to raid the coastal areas
