Origin
The Nationalwehr was created in 1993 following the end of the Bak Political Crisis. With Bakyern no longer in internal conflict, the Reichsheer was disbanded and reformed into the Nationalwehr, with all assets and personnel being passed onto the Nationalwehr. During the Transition to Democracy in Bakyern years, 1.3 million personnel were laid off due to Bakyern's politics no longer being focused towards conflict and war. The Nationalwehr and Territorialheer have been in a battle of jurisdiction over who is responsible for defending the states, but after a court ruling in 1998, the majority of jurisdiction in the states has been transferred to the Territorialheer.
