'''Kexarin Rénkédar''' is a Kiravian politician who served as the [[Prime Executive of the Kiravian Federacy]] from 21190 to 21195. During this time, he spearheaded the effort to complete the transition from [[Kirosocialism]] to a capitalist market economy begun by his predecessor Ivardus Cólsylvar, and to end the three decade-long period of isolationism by opening diplomatic and commercial relations with numerous foreign countries.
Stenza's army is its oldest service branch, having existed as an unified force since 1811 when the Corummese Colonial government decided to raise a force made up of local conscripts with Corummese officers and NCO's. This force was effective enough in putting down any resistance during the colonial era, but eventually revolted against the Corummese government to start the Stenzan war of independence. The Stenzan Army was reformed upon gaining independence in 1921, and has existed in its current force since.


The Stenzan Army of today is a modern light mechanized force suited to Stenza's defense. The bulk of its forces are formed into (light) mechanized divisions, which are mobile enough to thrive in Stenza's somewhat difficult terrain. Three air mobile divisions, two airborne divisions and a single armored division finish up Stenza's offensive capabilities on land. One interesting thing to note about Stenza's light mechanized divisions is their secondary role as Gendarmerie divisions, with the bulk of these divisions being absorbed from the old Stenzan Internal Forces, a paramilitary agency under the previous government. Divisions and units that are marked as Gendarmerie divisions can perform constitutional law enforcement duties all over Stenza.
==Biography==
==Biography==
Rénkédar was born to an upper-middle class family in Rivūlev, a mountain town in County Armyrvosta, Kensonia. His father had come from a mining background and risen to become co-owner of a trucking company. The elder Rénkédar served two non-consecutive terms in the Kensonia Assembly during his son's youth.


Stenza's Army is a full time voluntary force with a major reserve component. Most army divisions are only staffed to a third of their normal wartime strength, with the other two thirds being drawn from reservists. Reservists are obliged to train for two weekends a month and two large exercises per year, with the government offering free education to every member of Stenza's military reserve.
Rénkédar joined the Kensonia State Defence Force at 22 and trained as a machine gunner and mechanic with the 91st Kensonia Mountain Regiment. Mobilised and offered to Federal command during the closing stages of the Tropical Sea War, Rénkédar's unit was deployed to the Parchiri Mountains of northern Vokambia in support of an (ultimately successful) mission to liberate Kiravian soldiers from POW camps. Rénkédar himself only came under fire on two occasions, and later claimed to have fired only six shots in combat before Kiravian forces withdrew from mainland Vokambia. He was given a commendatory promotion upon his return to Kensonia and honourably discharged with the rank of Staff Sergeant.


The army, much like the other services, has a professional officers corps open to both active duty officers and reservists.
==Prime Executure==
Rénkédar set out to continue Kólsylvar's dismantling of the bloated and dysfunctional Kirosocialist system. He oversaw the continued breakup and privatisation of the many state monopolies that had accrued during Kirosocialism.  


The role of marine infantry is one filled by Stenza's Army, with a handful of light infantry divisions being earmarked as marine capable and trained to work with the Navy. One of Stenza's air mobile divisions are also capable of operating from Stenza's maritime assets, and regularly trains on board Navy ships. These divisions use normal Stenzan army equipment, although specialized marine vehicles are available as well.
Applied distributist principles in the privatisation process by breaking up nationalised industries (such as blank) into a larger number of regional firms in order to mitigate an expected spike in white-collar unemployment by creating 20 or 30 identical managerial and specialist positions where a more conventional breakup into three firms would have yielded only three such positions.


Stenza's main line combat forces include:
Rénkédar's greatest contribution to Kiravian recovery from Kirosocialism was returning Kiravia to the world stage and reopening the nation to foreign diplomacy and commerce. Along withhis Chief State Executive and fellow Kaskan [[Fyren Raidhvód]], Rénkédar launched the Embassy Exchange Programme in 2119X, signed a mutual defence and free trade agreement with Alacea in 2119X, and forged alliances with the Far Echo Islands and Nova Pictavia in 2119X. Echo Islands Wars.


{| class="wikitable"
Though remembered as the most internationalist of Prime Executives, Rénkédar played a major rôle in the development of Kiravia's extremely restrictive, culturally discriminatory, and notoriously bureaucratic immigration policy. For the Shaftonist-Republican Alliance and the Rénkédar administration, heavily restricting immigration served the triple purpose of softening the expected blow of unemployment during the initial phases of economic liberalisation, encouraging the highly-educated Kiravians who had emigrated during the ''cuaĥyrvrætor'' to return, and protecting Cosco-Kiravian cultural and social institutions (which Rénkédar and the Shaftonist-Republicans of the time saw as an important stabilising force in microeconomics) from Westernisation. The Rénkédar administration enforced a strict application of the Migration Code's culturally-preferential provisions, froze the renewal (and thus compelled the emigration) of many non-Coscivian immigrants already in Kiravia, and effectively put a moratorium on refugee and asylum admissions.

=Air Force=
==Personal Life==
Stenza's Air Force, founded in 1934, is a mostly defensive force consisting of a mix of both modern and somewhat older equipment. The air force has both active duty and reserve squadrons, with the reserve squadrons being permanently manned through a month-on five months off basis. Stenza's modern front line fighters are based off a navy design, with older 1980s vintage models augmenting it. The multirole aircraft perform multiple mission sets, such as combat air patrol (CAP), close air support (CAS), interdiction, interception and more. Stenza also has a specialized bomber fleet of 48 1970s vintage strategic bombers, divided into four operational squadrons.
Rénkédar was known as a calm, collected man who spoke clearly and eloquently but little, in keeping with the laconic stereotype of Western Highlanders. He never married and described himself as "content in solitude and among friends", though during his term as Prime Executive, he lamented doing nothing to continue his family line. In 21195, he retired to an alpine estate in County Crúaxan, Kensonia and waived his right to a Federal Protective Service detail, preferring to live in privacy. He was known to be an avid (if untalented) golfer who made extensive use of the Kroveniren Hall putting green and followed major Kiravian and international tours closely, requesting that his aides include golf standings with his morning and evening briefs.


Aside from its combat squadrons, the Stenzan Air Force also has squadrons for transportation (both tactical and strategic), aerial refueling, Airborne Early Warning (AEW) and other miscellaneous tasks. These squadrons not only operate aircraft though, with the Stenzan Air Force also being responsible for the country's static air defenses. Both early warning stations and static air defenses are manned by crews of full time personnel augmented by reservists on a rotational basis, and the country hosts an air integrated air defense system consisting of these assets, interceptor aircraft and naval vessels.
Rénkédar died in his châlet sometime during the winter month of Karlua 21206. His remains were discovered early the following month by his accountant, and a coroner's investigation concluded that he had died of natural causes. Although a Sarostivist, Rénkédar was sent off with Iduan funerary rites and his cremated remains inurned with other members of his lineage near Rivūlev.


The Stenzan Air Force operates from both its own bases and reserve bases that exist at civilian airports. It is not uncommon for civilian airfields that only serve small regional aircraft to have large runways and the facilities needed to host large military aircraft.
In spite of his unprecedented diplomatic achievements and generally open policy toward the outside world, Rénkédar himself was no cosmopolite. Almost completely ignorant of Western culture, he relied heavily on [[Fyren Raidhvód|Raidhvód's]] advice and coaching in protocol situations. He entered office without knowledge of English or any Western language (one anecdote purports that he did not know that 'Q' was a letter of the Latin alphabet until his second year as PE), progressed to the English II level by studying on the job, and according to a post-retirement interview, remembers

Rénkédar practised the Sarostivist religion and also attended meetings at the interfaith [[Kartika#Points_of_Interest|Kartika House of Prayer]]. He is listed as a benefactor of a Quaker congregation in Ástóróva, [[Hanoram]].
The Stenzan Navy is the strongest branch of the Stenzan military, having been considered the "Tip of the Spear" for Stenzan protection for decades. With Stenzan having been an isolated nation for a long time. Stenza has quite a modern naval force built around four Nuclear-powered ''Kapiti''-class aircraft carriers and five 1940s vintage ''Ka'o''-class Heavy Cruisers, three of which have been modernized to act as missile cruisers while two more have been refurbished as command ships. Stenza's other surface combatants include both modern and outdated Destroyers and Frigates. Under the waves, Stenza has both modern Nuclear powered attack and ballistic missile submarines, supplemented by more numerous diesel-electric submarines. A Maritime Aviation branch completes the Stenzan Navy's offensive capabilities, consisting of both the traditional carrier-borne aviation capabilities, maritime patrol aircraft and a plethora of other aviation forces. The Stenzan navy is considered a blue water force.


The traditional Coast Guard duties of coastal defense, search and rescue and maritime law enforcement are carried out by Stenza's navy, using a plethora of coastal small craft and aircraft split up in Coastal Defense Zones, these zones are usually assigned one or two outdated frigates as well. Reservists generally spend a cruise with Stenza's defensive forces once or twice a year to meet their service obligation.

The Stenzan Navy also operates the Stenzan Auxillary Navy, a command consisting of both civilian and naval crews that staff Stenza's various support vessels, such as supply ships and transports.

Although Stenza's government neither confirms or denies it, Stenza has been known to be a nuclear capable nation that has developed, tested and operationally fielded Nuclear weapons. Stenza's nuclear arsenal is not too large, with Submarine Launched Ballistic Missiles reportedly being capable of delivering multiple-hundred kiloton warheads while nuclear tipped torpedoes and aerial missiles being reported to be in the sub-hundred kiloton range. Nuclear-tipped anti-ship missiles are also reportedly fielded, both on surface combatants and on land, although specifics are uncertain and their existence has been denied by the Stenzan government.

Kexarin Rénkédar is a Kiravian politician who served as the Prime Executive of the Kiravian Federacy from 21190 to 21195. During this time, he spearheaded the effort to complete the transition from Kirosocialism to a capitalist market economy begun by his predecessor Ivardus Cólsylvar, and to end the three decade-long period of isolationism by opening diplomatic and commercial relations with numerous foreign countries.

His father had come from a mining background and risen to become co-owner of a trucking company. The elder Rénkédar served two non-consecutive terms in the Kensonia Assembly during his son's youth.
