The 1st Infantry Division – Black Division (Creeperian SpanishCreeperian: 1º Դիվիսիօն Ինֆանտերձա – Դիվիսիօն Նեգրո; Creeperian Spanish – Iberic: 1º División Infantería – División Negro), commonly known as simply as the Black Division (Creeperian Spanish – Creeperian: Դիվիսիօն Նեգրո; Creeperian Spanish – Iberic: División Negro; Creeperian Spanish pronunciation: [di.βiˈsion neˈgro]) is a military unit of the 1st Creeperian Army which is composed of elite soldiers of the entire Creeperian Army. Founded on 24 June 1934, the division has engaged in several battles and operations throughout the Creeperian Conflicts.

The division is composed of 5,325 soldiers, making it the smallest division in the entire Creeperian Army, which usually average around 10,000 soldiers. The soldiers of the division are handpicked by the commander of the division and are approved by the Generals of the thirty-six armies. Soldiers serve for two year periods, after which, they are able to have a meeting with the commander of the division and one General for an extension of service for another two year period, which can be repeated until the age of 40. All former soldiers of the division are given a pension for their service with the unit unless they were dishonorably discharged.

The unit is considered to be one of the most well-known and infamous in history. It has engaged in more battles and operations than any other Creeperian division due to its elite status and it is one of the few active divisions to have engaged in combat in foreign nations, being currently Lyoa and Sequoyah, and being previously mobilized in El Salvador and the State of the Church. The division has a significant reputation of committing war crimes, especially during the Creeperian Civil War and Mara War, which has attracted international attention to the unit's reputation and history.

Great Romerist Soldier

Creeperian Spanish Translated

PRIMERA ESTROFA

Gran soldado en la'Guerra,
Sangre santo verterás.
En homenaje a su muerte,
Blanco sudario tendrás.
Romeristo, en'el combate
Acrecienta su ideal:
La'bandera negra y blanca,
Y la'gualda imperial.
Gran soldado, Romeristo,
Que'n empresa de destino universal.
En'su puesto de servicio,
¡Creeperopólis salvas!
En'su puesto de servicio,
¡Creeperopólis salvas!

SEGUNDA ESTROFA

Nada nos importa'l calor,
Teniendo la'sangre ardiente;
Si se nos quema'l fusil,
El machete es suficiente.
No hace falta la'trinchera,
Al que lucha en la'batalla.
Con'el pecho'al descubierto,
Y gritando ¡Viva a Dios!
Gran soldado, Romeristo,
Que'n empresa de destino universal.
En'su puesto de servicio,
¡Creeperopólis salvas!
En'su puesto de servicio,
¡Creeperopólis salvas!

TERCERA ESTROFA

Cuando entramos en combate,
Lo'hacemos con celo y brío.
Forjando a golpes de sangre,
Nuestra fama de bravíos.
Para que'l mundo se entere,
De que'l infante santo,
Save morir en la'tierra,
Lo'mismo'a luchar por'Dios.
A la'muerte, a la'muerte,
Con la'División Negro te lanzarás,
Portando sobre su pecho:
¡La'Cruz de la'Patria!
Portando sobre su pecho:
¡La'Cruz de la'Patria!

FIRST VERSE

Great soldier in the war,
[You] will pour holy blood.
In tribute to your death,
White shrouds [you] will have.
Romerist in combat,
Your ideal increases:
The white and black flag,
And the imperial gold.
Great Romerist soldier,
In the company of universal destiny,
In your post of service,
[You] save Creeperopolis!
In your post of service,
[You] save Creeperopolis!

SECOND VERSE

The heat doesn't bother [us],
[Despite] having burning blood;
If our rifle burns,
The machete is sufficient.
Don't forget the trench,
Which fights the battle.
With [our] chest to discovery,
And yelling: Long live God!
Great Romerist soldier,
In the company of universal destiny,
In your post of service,
[You] save Creeperopolis!
In your post of service,
[You] save Creeperopolis!

THIRD VERSE

When [we] enter combat,
[We] do it with zeal and verve.
Forging to bloody wounds,
Our fame of bravery.
So that the world finds out,
Of the holy infant,
[That] knows how to die in the dirt,
The same as fighting for God.
To death, to death,
With the Black Division [you] will fight,
Carrying on your chest:
The Cross of the Fatherland!
Carrying on your chest:
The Cross of the Fatherland!
