The Foreign Services Element is an initiative within the Levantine Union Defense Council that allows officers to transfer to serve in the [[Royal and Confederate Army (New Harren)|Royal and Confederate Army]] of [[New Harren]] while on active service. The Foreign Services Element is an extremely competitive program, and service in New Harren is considered prestigious and career enhancing. | The Foreign Services Element is an initiative within the Levantine Union Defense Council that allows officers to transfer to serve in the [[Royal and Confederate Army (New Harren)|Royal and Confederate Army]] of [[New Harren]] while on active service.

===Restitution Amendment=== | |||
The Restitution Amendment was an amendment made to the LUDC charter in [[1989]] which resolves to continue to exempt [[Burgundie]] from having a standing army in [[Levantia]], but in lieu of that, requires it to increase its financial and troop commitments to the LUDC. This was the agreement arrived at in lieu of [[Burgundie]] having to pay reparations to [[Urcea]] directly for the latter's involvement in the [[Second Great War]] and [[Operation Kipling]] "to an extraordinary degree even for allies as close as [[Burgundie]] and [[Urcea]], on behalf of the interests of [[Burgundie]] and not always in line with the national goals of [[Urcea]]." which was a hot topic political platform for some conservative and nationalist parties in the 1980s in [[Urcea]]. | |||
===Bar-barrier=== | ===Bar-barrier=== | ||
The collection of missile defense systems across the LUDC nations colloquially called the Barbarian barrier, or the Bar-barrier. It is a central hub of surveillance and targetting data used by [[Burgundie]]'s [[Hypaspistai Projectile Defense Network]], [[Fiannria]], [[Urcea]], and [[Yonderre]]. These four countries collectively cover most of the [[Deric States]] who pay additional dues for the maintenance of the system to defend them. The system does not own or operate any missile defense aparatus but is a clearing house for data used by the individual countries. All of the [[Deric States]] share information with the Bar-barrier system despite their lack of capability to act on the information in their own right. | The collection of missile defense systems across the LUDC nations colloquially called the Barbarian barrier, or the Bar-barrier.
