The 1st Imperial Rifle Unit or more commonly the 1st IRU is the original and main military unit of the Imperial Federation of Schpecktenia. The unit was created by the Grand Empire of Schpecktenia to fight off invading micronations, but was never used.
The 1st IRU has been used in every single Schpecktenia war since the Schpecktenia-Liveno War. The unit was used heavily in the Greater Metro East War, but hasn't been used since its restarting.
History
The 1st IRU was initially created to ward off possibly invading micronations that would possible enter the Province of Shadowfoxia, but was never used. The unit was forgotten about until Schpecktenia's conflict with Liveno in mid-January 2023. The unit also changed its patch during the Two Days War, switching the color of the "1" from white to blue.
Many Schpecktenia citizens would join this unit upon their joining of the nation. 75% of the State of Texas is in the 1st IRU. The heavy growth of the unit peaked around the beginning of the Greater Metro East War, which gave Schpecktenia the upper hand in the Battle of Shadowfoxia.
