Description The National Millicentary of Pereselia, or the "Stamil" as it is commonly called, is the main enforcement organisation in the country. It is under the control of the Ministry of the Interior and operates on a national level. Municipal uniforms vary depending on the amount of crime in an area, but the dress code remains the same for the entire nation of Pereselia once on parade, so to say.

Interesting, can you tell me what the rank insignia means and where the word millicentary comes from?

Millicentary comes from the word millicent, which is the Nadsat word for policeman. A millicentary is just a police organisation.

The ranks, from left to right, show a Sergeant and an Inspector. The numbers indicate the local municipality's ID number for that specific officer, which is organised in a different way than numerical order as it might appear. (However, the method of organising this is still... er... unknown to me.) The ribbons to the right of the rank insignia just show achievements that the officers have done. In typical police order of uniform, these would not be present.

Clockwork Orange? I see, that dictionary kind of reminds me a little bit of Newspeak from 1984.

Yes, in a way, under the category of invented languages to help add flavour to an author's piece. Nadsat is more akin to slang that the younger generations in the book use.

I've watched 1984 but I can't say I've ever seen Clockwork Orange.

I do like the idea of mounting rank, digits and appropriate awards onto some kind of badge or something of the kind. The shape of it looks vaguely familiar. Reminds me of the one I did by hand for my Conscripts ages ago. Anyway, looking forward to more things on Perselia.
