From all of my research, I can think of no finer structure for an organisation than being decentralised, and having shells within shells. Few people would suspect that a group seeking to reduce inequality has an ambition to remove all traces of human civilisation.
Australia does not really have any militia, not like in the US. Such an outfit could be fun, and a cover for other activities, although keeping out MAGA-types would be hard. At least anyone trying to infiltrate us wouldn’t know what type of people we really are.
I asked a parrot app for name ideas and it was quite impressive and well-thought out:
Here are some serious-sounding names for a secret Australian militia, with varying vibes:
Indigenous Inspired:
- Malkara Watchers: “Malkara” is an Aboriginal word for “shield” and evokes protection.
- Waliri Brigade: “Waliri” means “south wind” in some Aboriginal languages, hinting at their unseen presence.
Australian Landscape:
- Outback Guardians: Straightforward and emphasizes their role as protectors of the vast Australian interior.
- Southern Cross Legion: References the iconic constellation and implies national pride.
Military Terminology:
- Crimson Rosella Company: “Crimson Rosella” is a vibrantly colored Australian parrot, unexpected but memorable. Company maintains a military structure.
- Southern Shield Directorate: “Directorate” suggests a well-organized and strategic force.
Latin Options:
- Custodia Australis (Guardians of Australia): Simple and elegant, using Latin for a sense of mystery.
- Auxilium Terra Australis (Aid of the Southern Land): Latin emphasizes their role as secret defenders.
Bonus – Deception:
- Emu Emergency Responders: An unassuming name that throws people off the scent.
