}}'''Intrepid Enterprises''' ([[Burgoignesc language|Burgoignesc]]: ''Entreprises Intrépide'') is a {{wpl|Private Military Company}}, officially styled as a security company, founded in [[Yonderre]] in 2005 by [[Ulrich Digarde]], a former colonel of the [[Yonderian Defence Force]]. Intrepid Enterprises provides a suite of security and military services on land, sea and air on contractual basis to both state and non-state actors. Intreprid Enterprises has been categorized by critics as a private army and has been under criticism for not conforming to the laws of war on multiple occasions. Intrepid Enterprises also runs a number of training camps in Yonderre for both government and non-government security and paramilitary forces to hone their skills.

Intrepid Enterprises has been involved in [[The Deluge|the Deluge]] since 2008 and the [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]]-led anti-piracy [[Operation Khyzer Rhykh]] since 2010 fulfilling various tasks. Beginning in 2018, Intrepid Enterprises signed on to a major contract with the [[Yonderian Defence Force]] for policing and security actions on the YDF-manned [[LOTA]] airbase in [[New Harren]]. Intrepid Enterprises was also directly involved militarily in [[Cetsencalia]] and [[Quetzenkel]] during the [[Final War of the Deluge]].
The '''Chenango Confederate Republic''', commonly referred to as the '''Chenango Confederacy''', is a country in [[Cusinaut]]. It became independent in [[2024]] from [[Algoquona]] during the [[Final War of the Deluge]].


Intrepid Enterprises came to notoriety in 2011 when footage surfaced of their contractors sinking a pirate ship with all hands lost in the Puhktun Sea after having first captured and disarmed the aforementioned pirates. Although their actions were legal in accordance with [[Yonderre|Yonderian]] laws, the company came under harsh criticism internationally, with motions put in place to limit mercenaries in warzones.
In addition to the territory usually ascribed to the Confederacy, [[Pachaug]] is part of its ''de jure'' territorial sovereignty, but ''de facto'' has never been part of the country. This occurred as a transfer of the original [[International charter city|charter]] between Pachaug and [[Urcea]] while it was part of [[Algoquona]]'s sovereignty. It was transferred from nominal ALgoquonan sovereignty to Chenango sovereignty in [[2024]]. This arrangement also covered [[Housatonic]], which became formally independent of the Confederacy with its reorganization as a republic in [[2030]].
 
The Confederacy is a member of the [[Nysdra Sea Treaty Association]].

Intrepid Enterprises was formed in 2005 by [[Ulrich Digarde]], a former Colonel of the elite [[DELTA]] special forces unit of the [[Yonderian Defence Force]]. Backed by [[Yonderre|Yonderian]] investors including [[NOVA]], Digarde recruited chiefly former and current YDF servicemen to form the company's initial cadre, with which he would train new contractors.

==Government and politics==
 
The Chenango state is a confederacy of three units, each with large autonomy over internal affairs and public administration. The Constitution of the Chenango Confederate Republic is loosely based on the [[Northern Confederation]] who coordinated its members external affairs but mostly left members to govern themselves autonomously with loose conflict resolution powers. The Constitution grants extended powers to the central government, however, such as binding arbitration, making it illegal for the Republics to defy a conflict resolution order from the government, as well as centralized custom controls, powers to tax for, create, and regulate transportation networks, and critically the central government is empowered to raise and maintain armed forces. Some observers have noted that the Constitution provides for something more like a "loose federal republic" than a "strong confederacy".
 
The Confederate central government has two branches, an Executive and Legislative. All judicial matters are the matters of the Republics and disputes between Republican courts are resolved by a direct act of the Legislature. The Legislature is unicameral and is referred to as the "High Council of the Chenango Confederate Republic", which is elected every five years in years beginning with 0 and 5. Seats are apportioned in a system known as "proportional plus five", wherein the seats are assigned each decade in proportion of the population of each Republic out of a pool of 85 seats. After apportionment, each Republic receives an additional five seats. This system was designed to ensure a relative balance between the three Republics. The High Council has authority to approve or reject treaties and has all legislative powers over the limited authority delineated to the central government. The Executive branch is lead by the President, who is elected nation-wide using an {{wp|electoral college}} in the same terms as the High Council. The President negotiates treaties, generally conducts war and peace on behalf of the Republic including oversight of the military, and has administrative control over the Transportation and Customs Departments, the two main agencies of the central government.
 
Due to the foreign influence exerted on the Confederacy by [[Urcea]] in supporting its constitution, the Chenango Confederacy is sometimes referred to as a [[Benefactor confederacy|benefactor confederacy]].
 
===Republics===
The Confederacy consists of three confederate units known as ''Republics''. Unlike many other confederate and federate states, each of the republics is numbered rather than named for the place or people it encompasses. Accordingly, the ''First Republic'' encompasses the lands of the [[List of peoples of Cusinaut#E-H|Great Chenango]] people, the ''Second Republic'' of the [[List of peoples of Cusinaut#I-L|Little Chenango]] people, and the ''Third Republic'' of the [[List of peoples of Cusinaut#I-L|Island Honeoye]]. The Republics are largely free to determine their own form of government and how it functions.
 
The First Republic and Third Republics share the same form of government which is based on the model of the [[Government_of_Urcea#Province|Urcean province]] except with unicameral rather than bicameral legislatures that elect the Republic's chief executive, in each case referred to as the "Republican Executive". The unicameral legislature for both the First and Third Republics are simply referred to as the "Republican Constituent Assembly", which assigns its own electoral districts on a decade-by-decade basis. Republican Executives are typically chosen by heritage rather than by political party within the First and Third Republics, with relatives typically succeeding along clan or tribal basis. In both of these Republics, terms for the legislature are five years along [[Urcea|Urcean]] lines; the Republican Executive serves at the confidence of the legislature.
 
The Second Republic has a hybrid-legislative model wherein all legislative and executive powers are invested in the Council of Five, the leader of whom normally represents the Council but has limited institutional power over his or her peers. The Council is comprised of the hereditary heads of the four largest clans of the Little Chenango people which represent the vast majority of the population. The fifth member is elected from a constituency of all Second Republic citizens who are not members of the four largest clans. The clan leaders serve for life unless removed by a vote of their clan, which a non-governmental function, whereas the fifth, elected, member serves four year terms.

==Military==
Intrepid Enterprises was directly involved militarily in [[Cetsencalia]] and [[Quetzenkel]] during the [[Final War of the Deluge]]. The company was notable in its ability to provide all aspects of a highly trained modern army to the less professional militia forces of Cetsencalia. For instance, in Cetsencalia, Intrepid Enterprises fielded not only professional fighting men, but armour and support aircraft such as [[AMS-72]] combat helicopters, infantry fighting vehicles and [[AMY-40]] main battle tanks. In Quetzenkel, IE contractors operated in the role of frontline advisors, fire and movement coordinators and forward air controllers providing guidance to close air support.
The Chenango Confederacy has two military branches as well as a shared naval force. The primary component of its armed forces is the Trinational Army (TNA), which is the Confederacy's ground-based military force with some limited maritime and airborne assets as well, primarily helicopters of various kinds. The Trinational Army replaced the Organized Militia of the country, which conducted operations during the Confederacy's quest for independence in the [[Final War of the Deluge]] and operated from [[2023]] through [[2026]]. Unlike the Organized Militia, the Trinational Army is a professional, standing army, and in [[2032]] it had an on-paper strength of 38,000 men, though many of these personnel are still considered to be in training or fit only for garrison duty. The TNA is organized into three mechanized brigades, a marine and coast guard regiment, an artillery regiment, an engineer regiment, a logistical regiment, and several specialized battallions as well as a training center command. In [[2026]], the Trinational Army sent its 1st Mechanized Brigade to serve in the joint [[League-occupied Varshan|League of Nations occupation of Varshan]], the only Cusinautic country to do so. The mission there concluded in [[2029]] and served both as a participation in the international mission as well as a continued training and military development exercise, as commanders and personnel from the TNA regularly interacted with military personnel from other occupying countries. The TNA is largely equipped with refurbished versions of previous generation [[List of equipment of the Armed Forces of Urcea|Urcean equipment]], but in [[2032]] it placed orders for more modern Urcean equipment to be delivered in the future. The TNA is the fourth largest army in [[NSTA]], following the armed forces of [[Urcea]], [[Quetzenkel]], and [[New Harren]]. In [[2032]], the TNA entered [[Pachaug]] to suppress the [[Pachoy Rebellion]]. Although professionally organized, the TNA is generally thought by most international observers to have performed poorly during the rebellion, including and especially in their partially failed attempt to rescue hostages during that conflict as well as during a high profile friendly fire incident. In the wake of the rebellion, the TNA contracted with [[Intrepid Enterprises]] to examine its shortcomings, retrain officers and key personnel, and offer recommendations for future improvements to the Army.


==Services==
The Trinational Air Force is a small air force designed to largely conduct operations in tandem with the larger [[Urcea]]n [[Royal Air Force (Urcea)|Royal Air Force]].

===Policing and security===
Inrepid Enterprises offers a suite of training and practical solutions in the field of policing and security, having headhunted high profile and excellent police officers of the [[Custodes Yonderre]]. Notably, Intrepid Enterprises signed a contract in 2018 with the [[Yonderian Defence Force]] for policing and security actions on the YDF-manned [[LOTA]] airbase in [[New Harren]], providing base security. On sea, Intrepid Enterprises has at various times chartered with civillian transport and haulage companies as on-board guards, particularly in and around the Puhktun Sea.
===Military===
Intrepid Enterprises has at its disposal a large arsenal of military equipment, expertise and experience with which to conduct military operations. The company operates at least five [[AMY-40]] main battle tanks and a larger number of armoured personnel carriers, as well as a wide variety of utility vehicles and technicals. Intrepid Enterprises also has air support in the shape of at least six [[AMS-72]] combat helicopters and two [[FS-75]] CAS jet fighter-bombers. Intrepid Enterprises also has a number of smaller, fast sea-going vessels and landing craft at it's disposal.
===Training===
Intrepid Enterprises runs a number of training camps in Yonderre for both government and non-government security and paramilitary forces to hone their skills, the largest of which is [[Intrepid Training Center]] which offers tactics and weapons training to military, government, and law enforcement agencies. ITC also offers several open-enrollment courses periodically throughout the year, from hand to hand combat (executive course) to precision rifle marksmanship. They also offer courses in tactical and off-road driving. ITC's primary training facility, located on 7,000 acres (28 km2) in northeastern [[Vandarcôte]], comprises several ranges, indoor, outdoor, urban reproductions, a man-made lake, and a driving track.

The Chenango Confederate Republic, commonly referred to as the Chenango Confederacy, is a country in Cusinaut. It became independent in 2024 from Algoquona during the Final War of the Deluge.

In addition to the territory usually ascribed to the Confederacy, Pachaug is part of its de jure territorial sovereignty, but de facto has never been part of the country. This occurred as a transfer of the original charter between Pachaug and Urcea while it was part of Algoquona's sovereignty. It was transferred from nominal ALgoquonan sovereignty to Chenango sovereignty in 2024. This arrangement also covered Housatonic, which became formally independent of the Confederacy with its reorganization as a republic in 2030.

The Confederacy is a member of the Nysdra Sea Treaty Association.

Accordingly, the First Republic encompasses the lands of the Great Chenango people, the Second Republic of the Little Chenango people, and the Third Republic of the Island Honeoye. The Republics are largely free to determine their own form of government and how it functions.

The First Republic and Third Republics share the same form of government which is based on the model of the Urcean province except with unicameral rather than bicameral legislatures that elect the Republic's chief executive, in each case referred to as the "Republican Executive".
