Trivia

 * It is unknown how long it took to build the massive installation, but it must have cost a lot to Amestris.
 * Briggs soldiers and the East soldiers are considered Amestris' finest military units, but, while the Eastern Army is the 'perfect attack', Briggs holds the title of 'perfect defense', suggesting a alliance between both Briggs and Eastern Army would provide the perfect military unit.
 * The Amestrian Army have regular exercises between Northern and Eastern forces, which usually take place in the Briggs' fortress during the winter. These exercises serve to train the Amestrian army and prepare them for any conflict that might take place between Amestris and Drachma.
 * It is common knowledge that this exercises are usually won by the Briggs' forces.
 * Although there's a cease fire treaty between the two countries, the Briggs' boarder is known to be a very unstable area, prone to incidents which might lead to the breaking of that treaty.
