Righteous Independence Legion

The Righteous Independence Legion is an armed terrorist organisation founded in 2005 at the end of the Black Depression when Histalpol began regaining it's foreign relations and aimed to turn Histalpol back to isolationism and has since evolved from that group to a group generally opposing foreign relations and the government for making them. The origins are disputed, but are thought to have split from extreme supporters of the Histalpol Parti Isolationist which was in government from 1992 to 2008, but supported the actions of the first chancellor in that period, Hayden Bolton, holding position from 1992 to 2004.

The Righteous Independence Legion's motto references the following government of Gilbert McKemmy who was known for reopening foreign relations with the British, French and Irish, in the phrase La vraie liberté à travers une véritable indépendance ("True freedom through true independence"). This references Gilbert McKemmy's apparent lack of belief of what the party supports in the reopening of the foreign relations, and exclaims to be promoting true isolationism though their attacks.

The organisation was formed in 2005 after the claiming of the attack on a British cargo-truck passing into Histalpol, killing the driver and causing an estimated range from hundreds to thousands worth of damage from the produce being transported, though this was a faux claim as it was later revealed to have been committed by a Histalian organised crime group. Only in 2010, 5 years later did the group actually committee their first attack with a death toll of 16 in the 2010 Bastilia International Airport bombing, which they claimed they were responsible for. The group is proscribed as a terrorist organisation by Histalpol only as of 2013.

Origins
The Righteous Independence Legion has it's origins in the Histalian political party Histalpol Parti Isolationist, especially the radical supporters of the group. In 2004, Hayden Bolton, the HPI Chancellor of Histalpol since 1992 stepped down and Gilbert McKemmy took over, and the group started in 2005 one year into his chancellor position. In 2004 after McKemmy restarted foreign relations with the United Kingdom, the radical supporters of Histalpol Parti Isolationist, known as the Homeland Isolation League banded together in the city of Marlybron and protested free of the Homeland Isolation League, which were often peaceful protests along with Histalpol Parti Isolationist. The aim of this small group originally were to incite rioting at Homeland Isolation League and Histalpol Parti Isolationist protests.

The first public appearance by the leader of the group was a year later in 2005 when they claimed responsibility for the arson of a cargo truck travelling from the United Kingdom to Histalpol which killed the driver and caused hundreds of pounds worth of damage. They claimed responsibility but were struck off as a foux organisation when the arson was put down to organised crime, as the Histalian driver was a smuggler for a Histalian organised crime ring to get their drugs out of Histalpol, but the Righteous Independence Legion still claimed responsibility even with the case closed and the drug runners arrested.
