Bruuman Navy in alert amidst Arebel Sea Blockade crisis

The Voodoo People's Republic of Bruuma has issued today an official statement declaring its neutrality in the Arebel Sea Blockade crisis. The country however warned that it had put its military fleet on alert and that all foreign military vessels or airplanes caught trespassing its territorial water will be eliminated, a warning directed mainly to Athary and Iosal. The VPRB also remarked that its only international airport, situated in the capital Bayougrad, and its civilian ports will remain opens to non-military crafts of all nations permitted to transit.

Submarines play an important role in the Bruuman Navy


Despite the significative losses suffered during the Sporaltrayn War, the Bruuman  Navy and the Air Force are still a force to be reckoned with, since the paranoid militaristic country has always mantained huge military stocks. The Navy's vessels are partially outdated but are mostly effective in brown waters, due to the importance given to torpedo boats and submarines, while the Air Force crafts have been renewed and modernized and even helicopters can play a role in anti-submarine warfare, thanks to the newly built carrier frigates.

Bruuma temporarily host Ryccian refugees; plan to relocate them to Puerto Pollo


The VPRB has welcomed the Ryccian refugees fleeing from anti-socialist violence in their home country. They are being hosted for the moment in government touristic villages and hotels on Revolution Island, the beautiful minor southern island where all the state-run tourism business take place. 


The Bruuman government has announced that they plan to relocate them on its puppet state Puerto Pollo, granting houses and employment. While the official reason is to boost the economic development of Puerto Pollo, still recovering from the civil war ended last year, the real reason lays in the regime's paranoid control of the population, which limit contact with outsiders as much as possible, while in Puerto Pollo the presence of foreigners, both stable and temporary, is a common occurance. Considering the harsh living conditions in Bruuma, it is likely that the Ryccians will be relieved to begin their new life in the smaller but freer puppet country.
