Fake Nations
The creation of fictional nations for the sake of training exercises is not a new thing. For my Command exercise scenarios, I have gone one step further from simple “REDFOR” and made several fictional countries, with interesting results. Suffolkistan From: SEAL Submarine Exercise. Suffolkistan is a fictional designation for the real area of Suffolk County, […]

In it, Papua New Guinea sends its small navy out to conduct a raid in the titular archipelago. Several things about it appealed to me. The first was its effective simulation of a low-end force. The main […]
