Bentay

Bentay is a medium sized NationStates nation located in Aberdeen. It is the largest arms manufacturer and dealer in the region, able to manufacture giant orders in 1 week or less. Bentay is a very young nation, started around day 292 in Aberdeen history. On day 300 Bentay's Federal Economist, Laird Birde, was killed in his home by an assassination. More on that is down the page. I spent a lot of time working on the military and everything is (should) be perfect about it. Hope you enjoy!

Goverment structure

Bentay is a republic, it houses elections for the people that elect selectmen, and the selectmen elect the leaders. There are 4 people in power, the people that rule the nation. There is a Prime Minister, 2nd In Command, Federal Economist, and the Supreme General.

Prime Minister Nathaniel Burke

Nathaniel Burke is an outgoing leader who's not afraid to speak his mind. He doesn't have a lot of patience which often gets him in trouble, on such occasions as when he entered Dancing Bananaland [[without notice. He was leader of the refugee group that came to Aberdeen on day 292.

[[=== 2nd In Command Keanu Nuvara === Keanu Nuvara was one of Burke's best freinds growing up, and when Burke was appointed leader of the refugee group Bentay, he saw Nuvara as being the best for the job. Nuvara is a shy man but not afraid to get his hands dirty if need be. He finds himself as main commander whenever Burke travels alone, which is quite often.

Federal Economist...

Laird Birde was killed on day 300 of Aberdeen's history. He was supposedly murdered by Dan Whitts, who was the vice Federal Economist. Whitts was contacted by the mob and started working as a hitman in the middle of his government career. As of now Bentay has no Federal Economist, elections are scheduled for Aberdeen's main election month, August.

Supreme General John Rickson

John Walker Rickson has had a long history in military, serving 28 years of his life in the Armed Forces. He has served in 2 wars in his life, gaining several medals including 2 Purple Hearts, 5 Gold Stars, 2 Silver Stars, 8 Bronze Stars, 3 Platinum Crosses, 1 Extenguished Service medal, and many, many more. He is considered the most dangerous man in Bentay at the age of 46, since he has had so much combat training.

History

Bentay is technically a rogue state. It was the confederate side in the Civil War of Barraccuda. Bentay was badly beaten after Barraccuda's forces had taken most of their cities, but the enemies overconsidered the power of the SK-4 Superjet. They packed about 95% of their forces onto these jets and moved them all towards Bentay's capital. However, the difference between the SK-4 and the SK-5 superjets was that the SK-4 lacked point defense lazers, therefore having no effective Anti-Missile countermeasures fired from ground. Bentay's Patriot missile systems fired away and destroyed all the planes. Barraccuda's forces surrendered and Bentay had won their fight for freedom. Not wanting to live in a war-torn country, Bentay moved to Aberdeen where they could live in peace.

Military

YES finally! I spent a long time studying EVERY aspect of my military and here it is. Bentay's armed forces use mainly weapons from Russian and Middle-east design, circa 1950's to 1990's. Military emphasis has shifted recently from sniper and guerilla tactics to conventional military methods. This is believed to have been caused by the military unit jump. 700000 Men-at-arms, including 10000 snipers, 45000 machine gunners, 245000 general infantry, 250000 Navy, 50000 Air Force, 100000 Marines.

ARMY

300000 men, which includes: 90000 snipers 50000 machine gunners 100000 vehicle crew 150000 general service infantry Vehicles are at a literally endless supply due to Bentay's arms market. Whenever one is destroyed it is quickly replaced. Here are all of the weapons that the army uses: AK74 is the main assault rifle used by infantry. RPK is the light machine gun used by gunners. PKM is the heavy machine gun used by gunners on foot and tanks. .357_Magnum is the pistol used by all military units. SVD sniper rifle used by snipers. PP-90 sub-machine gun used by medics and tank crewmen. Tavor_TAR-21 assault rifle used by marines. SA80 assault rifle used by paratroopers. Jeep CJ-5 light vehicle for transport.
