The Tyreseian Workers' Navy, sometimes just the Workers' Navy or the People's Navy, is the regular military of the Workers' Federation of Tyreseia. It consists of the Tyreseian Workers' Naval Fleet, Tyreseian Workers' Naval Infantry Service, Tyreseian Workers' Naval Air Service, the Republican Guard and the Workers' Militias.
History
From the late Bronze Age through to the 2nd century BCE, the ancient Tyrian civilization utterly dominated the commercial and martime spheres of the Periclean world, with a navy that remained unmatched for most of its history. The navy, being the primary beneficiary of the Tyrian state, quickly overshadowed the ancient army, which was eventually abolished entirely and replaced with temporary mercenary clans hired by wealthy merchant houses. These same houses would then bring their armies to bear against one another, leading to a century of constant infighting that ended in a Latin conquest of the region. The Latin Empire brought with it a strong army tradition, but little naval experience, and so much of the region's naval development was put on hold until the Latins withdrew. From the 7th century CE to the 19th, the numerous states and statelets of the Tyreseian region maintained their own fighting forces with their own strategies, doctrines and tactics, only brought under one command again in 1861 following the Proclamation of National Unity. The Tyreseian Workers' Navy claims a lineage of history and tradition back in some parts to all of these fighting forces, such as through the traditional doctrine of maritime primacy inherited from the Tyrians and the use of vexilli from the Latins.
The next iteration of a unified Tyreseian military began in the choas of the National Springtime, when the early fight for Tyreseian nationalism and unification was ironically carried out by numerous disjointed fighting forces. In 1848, the Tyreseian Republican Army (TRA) was raised in Oyat, the result of a coup that placed a pro-unification Consul in charge of the then-independent merchant city. The two militias that had placed the Consul in charge were merged into the TRA on October 14th, and thus became the direct ancestors to the Tyreseian Workers' Navy. The TRA quickly developed a maritime wing both through the existing Oyat fleet and through the seizure of a pirate haven in 1851, which bolstered their numbers considerably. Despite these successes, the conflict known as the First Unification War was still going poorly for the rebels; it would take an admiral from Tsabratan, Azmelqart Šidduni, siezing control of the TRA and subsuming the infantry units under naval control. Such a forward-thinking strategy helped net the first major Tyreseian victory in the war at Gadam in February 1853. An army from Tyria was en route to attack a numerically inferior militia in the coastal town of Gadam. Utilizing his naval power, Admiral Šidduni staged a night-time sneak attack on the Tyrian Royal Army, routing their forces and destroying their supply trains, forcing a rout. Such a surprise and sweeping victory led to the local militia and, eventually, the rest of the Tyreseian national military movement to consolidate under the Tyreseian Republican Navy's umbrella. The sudden consolidation of forces led to a lightning string of victories that ended the war in 1855, giving an unlikely victory for the rebels.
Modern History
Branches
The Tyreseian Republican Guard is the most versatile branch, and the branch most present in civil life. Consisting of numerous agencies and departments, the Guard is responsible for a wide variety of duties, from military policing and gendarmerie duties, to coordinating law enforcement and resolving labor disputes across municipal and communal lines to manning forensics labs and even operating as domestic counter-intelligence (though this duty is often shared with the Office of Naval Intelligence).
Ranks
The Tyreseian Workers' Navy branches are made up of numerous enlisted, non-commissioned officer, and commissioned officer ranks. A full table for each is included below.

New Tyria is the capital and largest city in the Workers' Federation of Tyreseia, with a population of 8,XXX,XXX as of the 2020 Census. It is located along the X Bay, the X River and the Periclean Sea.
Though the city lacks official legal status as the nation's capital city, New Tyria has nevertheless played an outsized role in Tyreseia's history, politics, and culture. Most of the nation's governmental institutions and unions are headquartered in the city, along with the world's embassies and diplomatic missions. Much of the administrative apparatus of the Rubric Coast Consortium is also based in New Tyria. The city also serves as a transportation and service hub, playing host to the nation's only international airport and its largest railway stations.
History
In the aftermath of a devastating earthquake in 191 BCE, the ancient and eponymous capital city of the Tyrian civilization, Tyria, was largely destroyed. At the time, the Latin Empire had recently concluded its intervention in the civil war between the merchant houses of Hiram and Eshmun. As the Latin-backed Hiramites had won, the legions present in the region were seeking a place to establish a new Hiramite client capital. The other major Tyrian city-states, including the Hiramite home base of Tsabratan, had suffered even greater destruction from war, pestilence, famine and the earthquake. As such, much to the Hiramites' chagrin, the capital site was selected a few kilometers east of old Tyria, along the X River. Much rubble from the old city was repurposed in building the new, with some ancient Tyrian monumental structures being cut down and rebuilt as they once were. Through the recycling of building material and whole buildings alike, the core of New Tyria was established in around 179 BCE, with the harbor and Temple of Jupiter (a reconstructed temple to Ba'al Hammon) as the focii of the design. The process of ignoring the Hiramites' choice of capital and desecrating Tyrian religious sites proved too much for many to bear, and many Hiramites rose up in revolt in 178 CE. The revolt, concentrated in the west and featuring some Eshmunites fighting alongside their former sworn enemy, was swiftly put down as numerous Latin forces had arrived to aid in New Tyria's construction and in securing their new client kingdom. In the aftermath, the region now known as Tyreseia was quickly transformed into a more directly-administrated province of the Empire, with the once-great Houses of Eshmun and Hiram being forcibly dissolved.
During the Latin period, the city saw a quick explosion in growth, seeing many peoples of both Tyrian and Latin descent migrating into the city. Other minority groups, including the city's first Jewish populations, ended up within New Tyria's walls as the combination of riverine transport, maritime trade and Latin financial support made the city grow rapidly in just a few centuries.
Geography
The site of New Tyria is on very strategic ground. The city lies along both the Periclean Sea coast and the X, a large delta branch of the Heshek River. This branch was artificially widened by successive Latin, medieval, and early-modern projects, making it easy to transport goods and people from the Periclean down the channel to the Heshek and vice versa.
