The Green Army or Hluttaw Sahn 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 on to 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 the government. In the present day the Zhijun Regional Administration is entirely under the control of the Green Army, 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, participating in various conflicts across the Corummese domain.
History
The Green Army's origin lie in the historic and geographic divide between two communities of Corummese settlers that inhabit Zhijun. On one hand stand those living in the island's central and less accesible highlands who are known locally as the Hluttaw or Green Men and who made their living as subsistence farmers or breeding small quantities of livestock. On the other side are the wealthier settlers living on the coast known as the Shwayttaw or Gold Men, richer and more cosmopolitan due to trading with other polities around the Sea of Istroya. The Shwayttaw were also more firmly under the control of the metropolis and were considered a loyal and reliable population. Over the centuries of Corummese control, the Hluttaw would routinely burst forth from the highlands to raid the coastal areas before being pushed back by imperial retribution.
Zhijun Rebellion
The arrival of Linge Chen and his PCD to power in 1992 caused drastic change to the situation on Zhijun. Chen immediately strenghtened the organs of repression by sending several secret police divisions to Zhijun and letting them loose upon the island to squash all dissent. Several Hluttaw groups led by a former policeman named Kan Kuw San reacted to the crackdown by coalescing into the Green Army to fight the government. The Green Army slipped into the hills to start their insurgency. One of the first Green Army actions was a raid on the Goshen labor camp where they managed to free and forcibly recruit around 400 inmates; a mixed group of political prisoners and petty criminals.
