The Volunteer Army of the Just King (Clashonian: Frywillygé Armëe dyr Rëekts Känygs: FARK) was a far-right, radical monarchist paramilitary force, that operated in Clashonia and Weisserstein. Founded in 1904 on the wake of the Unionist coup d'etat, the FARK conducted attacks against the Unionist, and later both Republican, regimes, in the hope of reinstating the Clashonian monarchy. Their methods includes petty warfare and terrorism operations against the Unionist and Republican regimes in Clashonia. Following the monarchy's restoration, the FARK was integrated into the Royal Clashonian Army. The force took its name from an essay by Clashonian monarchist writer Eryck Ëernst vén Völler.
In May 1904, members of the Party of the Union State launched a coup d'etat against the Clashonian monarchy. King Williem II and his family were exiled and sought refuge in Weisserstein. Several prominent supporters of the monarchy would also fled at this time, namely pro-monarchist writer Eryck Ëernst vén Völler. He wrote in an essay 2 weeks after the coup, titled "The Just King and those who removed him." This essay attempted to frame the Unionist movement as an evil force, removing the Just King, in this period Williem II, from power through evil means.
In June 1904, former Major General Gythäart Bryént organized a small, private militia force, whose goal was to reinstate the Clashonian monarchy. It was partly funded by vén Völler, and so the organization was named after his essay. After it was founded, the FARK immediately became involved in an insurgency in the Kleinhart Jura alongside another pro-monarchy militia, Känygsbrigad Oltmann. It would absorb the latter in 1909, as the insurgency was seemingly defeated and FARK retreated to the interior of the Kleinhart Jura. FARK would reappear in 1919 when the Union State declared war on Weisserstein in order to annex the territories of Blubach and Bischofgen. FARK fought alongside the Reichswehr in the Kleinhart Jura and successfully pushed nearly 1,180 km inland and were right outside the city of Frywéil before the signing of the Treaty of Barnburg. Despite their victory, FARK was unable to reinstate the monarchy.
After the establishment of the First Clashonian Republic, FARK continued its guerilla operations in the Kleinhart Jura, and began gaining sympathy from many Clashonians. FARK became involved in the Weissersteiner Civil War on the side of the monarchy and was involved in numerous battles. It was noted by several reports from its members that FARK engaged the Clashonian Republican Guard, which allegedly aided the Greater Weissersteiner Realm, on numerous occasions, though these reports weren't verifiable by trustworthy third-party source. In the aftermath of the Weisserstener Civil War, it would continue its operations against the First Clashonian Republic until the Republican Guard launched a coup against the government in 1950, beginning the Clashonian Civil War. In the aftermath of the Clashonian Civil War, General Shymmaker's junta government issued a decree, designating FARK and other monarchist movements in Clashonia as enemies of the state, and began a crackdown campaign against FARK. FARK would continue its insurgency, and even launched a coup attempt against Shymmaker codenamed Operation Sunfall, though this would fall short. After this attempt, the Clashonian Army would launch a massive counterinsurgency campaign once again, this time with the goal of completely destroying FARK, codenamed Operation Vengeful, which failed to completely destroy FARK and its leadership.
FARK would become notable once again following the coup against President Klein in 1993 by the Clashonian military. In the chaos of a second junta, FARK membership skyrocketed as the people protested the coup, making FARK the most powerful opposition militia in Clashonian history. In 1994, FARK would launch a massive operation, capturing parts of northern Bannarsia and were closing in on Williemsbode. FARK would later free President Klein during April. Many members of the Clashonian military defected and joined forces with both FARK and the exiled portions of the military to rebuild the Royal Clashonian Army in May, which would successfully liberate Kaarylsbode in July and saw the surrender of General Saawer, marking the end of the Second Clashonian Republic. On August 21, a nation-wide referendum was held on whether or not Clashonia should reestablish the monarchy. Results would come in on August 27, with 61% voting in favor and 33% voting against. This would see the Clashonian monarchy reinstated on August 28.
