Transport
Anikatia leaders have traditionally used limousines produced under the DHB brand for official events. The President of Anikatia often rides in an armored DHB Pyeomiak SL-G limousine, 3 of which were provided in 2009 by Kyoungcho Group. The Pyeomiak SL-G is is bulletproof, completely hand built and comes with run flat tyres. These are the first vehicles manufactured in Anikatia to be secured from the factory at a level approaching that of BM factory limousines. Previously under the DSRA, the General Secretary of the Communist Party was always driven in a DSRA-built AAU 3075, escorted by Huadai 2085 models. The presidential motorcade is escorted by a police motorcade of numerous AAU Uiseos generally along with several identical DHB Pyeomiak SL-Gs. When visiting a foreign country, Anikatian leaders generally use vehicles supplied by the host country. This custom began to change in November 2014, when Sui Anyi used her own DHB Pyeomiak SL-G limousine on a state visit to Temuair. Anikatian Prime Ministers continue to use cars supplied by the host country.
Anikatia maintains two Nykov Ny-107NGV aircraft mostly for the President, Prime Minister, and other members of the cabinety, operated by the Anikatian Air Force. The planes are officially called seifu-senyō-ki (특별 정부 항공기, literally "Special Government Aircraft") in Anikatian and informally known as Anikatian Air Force One/Two in English. They are also designed to take Anikatian nationals and refugees home from foreign land in serious political turmoil, chaos after natural disasters, etc. The livery consists of a largely white body with a tricoloured stripes in the national colours along the sides. The engines and tail are painted in blue. The country's name is written in both Anikatian and English on the side and the flag is on the tail and behind the door.
Notes
- The Provisional Government of the Republic of Anikatia was a government in exile based initially in Isn Deslen, Belfras and then Oured, D.A., Emmeria. Although it had widespread support from many international powers particular those in Free Pardes, the provisional government was not recognized by the DSRA which held de jure sovereignty over the Anikatian people at the time.
- From 1951 to 2001, DSRA the office of President was abolished and the position of the General Secretary held the real power.
