Free Democratic Legion

The Free Democratic Legion is a pro-Government paramilitary and is the official paramilitary force of the Free Democratic Party, the ruling party in much of the Central Mountains. The Free Democratic Legion, or FDL was founded in 11992 as the Counter-Protest National Guard. Initially the CPNG served as an alliance of Students opposed to the protests. The CPNG was heavily armed by the police in Zanavar and surrounds, and in 11994, the CPNG became both the official student wing of the FDP and their official paramilitary, and as a result they rebranded as the Free Democratic Legion, and began participating in counter-offensives against the rebel groups. The FDL has seen the greatest number of casualties per hundred members for any group in the conflict, due to their poor training.
