The Plains Militia was formed in the settlement of Belfield in North Dakota in 2201 on the ideal of bringing peace and order to the area. After its creation, the Militia spread for a few brief years before a decline in the mid-2200s. In an attempt to stay relevant and expand its ideal, the Plains Militia became a founding member of the American Northern Army. This security came at the cost of their independence, and the Militia has steadily become less distinct from the rest of the ANA. However, the Plains Militia is still infamous in the ANA for their notorious black and white views on morality and generally being old fashioned.
