A '''louage''' is a minibus shared taxi in many parts of [[Daria]] that were [[Burgoignesc colonial empire|colonized]] by [[Burgundie]]. In [[Burgoignesc language|Burgoignesc]], the name means "rental." Departing only when filled with passengers not at specific times, they can be hired at stations. Louage ply set routes, and fares are set by the government. In contrast to other share taxis in [[Audonia]], louage are sparsely decorated. Louages use a color-coding system to show customers what type of transport they provide and the destination of the vehicle. Louages with red lettering travel from one state to another, blue travel from city to city within a state, and yellow serves rural locales. Fares are purchased from ticket agents who walk throughout the louage stations or stands. Typical vehicles include: the [[MILCAR#Trucks|MILCAR Jornalero]], the [[TerreRaubeuer_Motor_Car_Company|TerreRaubeuer Valliant 130]], and the [[Cross_Trucking_Company#Industrial_and_Construction|CTC M237-07]]. | A '''louage''' is a minibus shared taxi in many parts of [[Daria]] that were [[Burgoignesc colonial empire|colonized]] by [[Burgundie]].

The military of Bulkh is small but highly professional. It is compromised of three branches the Army (land), the Maritime Defense Force (navy and coast guard), and the Republican Escadrille (air force and ostensibly space force). | |||
The Army had 5 brigades (3 infantry, 1 armored, and 1 air assault). It was reformed entirely during [[Operation Kipling]] eschewing many archaic and tribalistic traditions. It is viewed as the safeguard of secular republicanism and it's traditions and virtues follow those concepts. The army's strategic objectives are all defensive in nature but it's air assault brigade has some minor expeditionary capacities, within a limited scope. It is postulated that Bulkh could launch expeditionary operations against [[Battganuur]], [[Chaukhira]], [[Pursat]], [[Umardwal]], and [[Yanuban]], although sustainment would become an issue after a week of sustained fighting. | |||
The Maritime Defense Force (MDF) is formed around 4 destroyer squadrons, with a total of 8 destroyers, 18 frigates, 29 frigates and avisos, 63 littoral patrol craft, 5 ocean going tugs, 2 hydrological survey ships, and 2 dredgers. It also has an amphibious assault craft and 3 replenishment oilers that it purchased from [[Burgundie]] in the late 1990s through the mid 2020s which constitutes it's only expeditionary capability. | |||
The MDF also has a modest air wing with 13 fighter/torpedo bombers, 19 fighter/interceptors, 17 maritime patrol/meteorological survey aircraft, and 2 AWACS. | |||
The Republican Escadrille is a force of 7 air wings, 4 fighter/interceptors wings, two fighter/bomber wings, and one AWACS/Electronic Warfare wing. The Escadrille also oversees the countries Strategic Forces and it's arsenal of ICBMs, the true number is unknown but it is estimated that it is around 47. | |||
