How militarized is your nation

Postby Zhouran » Sat Feb 22, 2014 12:02 am

How militarized is your nation?

Hippy Pacifist type: Your nation has no army. (eg. The Vatican)
"None of your Business" type: Your nation has an army but the army does not intervene in politics.
Intervening type: In times of war or during a scandal involving the military, your military sometimes intervenes. (eg. corrupted dictatorships like al-Bashir's Sudan or al-Assad's Syria)
"Strong army, strong nation" type: Your nation has a massive military but the government remains mostly civilian. (eg. China, Russia, USA, Israel, Iran)
Militarized type: Your military has military officers within the government structure. (eg. North Korea)
Highly militarized type: Your military has huge power within the government. It is also possible that the military controls the government, which would mean your nation is a military junta. (eg. Myanmar from 1988 to 2011)

The Hatsunia Defense Forces are probably somewhere between "None of your Business" and "Hippy Pacifist" - it's actually a defense-only military.

(I think the USA is more of a "Strong army, strong nation" type, especially when its military spending is about half of the world's total. It also tends to intervene in other countries)

We are a warrior culture , virtually the entire population is in the military or has had military training (and still has access to military grade weapons and armor) , our defense budget exceeds the combined budget of some regions so our large standing army is equipped with the finest weapons and armor that can be produced . But we are still a meritocratic democracy (although the prime minister is a serving admiral, and many members of the cabinet hold military commissions.

Definitely "Strong Army, Strong Nation" though the military has occasionally dabbled in politics in the past, ranging from Intervening to Fully Militarized.

Somewhere between "Strong army, strong nation" and
Militarized type. The only active officer allowed to serve in both the military and politics is the Lord Marshal. He has full control over the military, however, the Emperor is still de-facto commander-in-chief, and there is a protocol to strip all power away from the Lord Marshal in times of crisis.

Highly Militarised

All Fennish people MUST do one year's service in the military. All members of Parliament are part of the nobility, who must know how to command and lead soldiers. The military is very important within the Empire. And of course the Emperor is the Supreme Commander.

We're the Militarized type. Our regular military amounts to 210,000 active and 700,000 reserve personnel in peacetime out of a population of 6,300,000. We're currently in war and our mobilisation will probably increase the active personnel to 1,400,000.

Highly militarized

All citizens are required to have training and serve in the Home Guard from 15 to 18, when they then can opt to stay as part of the Home Guard or join the army. Most if not all politicians are either active duty or veterans, with the president acting as Grand Marshal of the armed forces.

Somewhere between militarized and highly militarized.

The Military have a very large amount of influence in politics, their even granted seats in the Grand Council, numerous officers and generals occupy non-specific government advisory positions and the threat of coup is a constant danger to the insecure democratic government. The Military also control numerous industries for the sole purpose of supplying and arming the armed forces, unlike the state owned enterprises these industries have not been privatized and probably never will.

"Strong army, strong nation" type: Your nation has a massive military but the government remains mostly civilian. (eg. China, Russia, USA, Israel, Iran)

The civilian government is allowed to give general orders to be interpreted by military officers. That said, if one wishes to join the government they must forfeit their commision. Our military is massive, but requires authorization from civilian authority to act. Many politicians are former military. The current Empress has not served in the military though she is trained in a variety of martial skills.

Highly militarized type: Most of the leadership are also high ranks in the army; the Führerin herself is the head of all armed services. While we do not have compulsory military service (instead preferring a highly trained and professional military), defense is the government's top priority. Part of the economy is based very heavily on the military, and the military seems to be receiving perpetually more and more funding. As a result, it is extremely well-equipped, well-trained and ready to respond to anything, anywhere in the world quickly.

However, the government and the military are still technically separate.

Highly militarized type: The Fallen Jedi's Grand Army (GAR) serves as the main military branch, and it is highly likely that high ranking members of the army have some type of influence in the Political Spectrum, such as the Grand Moff, Supreme Commander, Grand Admiral, and it is most likely possible that the High Dark Jedi General has great influence in Politics, as the High General Rank is reserved for the family tree of the Emperor, who is Sanji Masaki, the current Military Influence scale is as follows:

Code: Select all
Emperor = Holds Maximum Control over the Military, Executive Power over the Republic Senate

High Dark Jedi General = Second Most powerful Military Commander, Technical Field Commander, Unknown amount of Political Power

Grand Moff = Military Influence is Contested by the Supreme Commander and the Moff Council, First Military Representative for the Senate

Supreme Commander = Contested Military Influence with the Grand Moff and Moff Council, Second Military Representative for the Senate

Grand Admiral = Controller of the Republic Navy, Naval Rank can exceed the Supreme Commander power over the Fleet, Unknown Political Influence (Possibly Moderate Political Influence)

We have a Strong Military, Strong Nation type. Our military is massive but also is the state. We have, however, often been ruled by generals and been a military junta.
Military service is compulsory in almost all cases. Those not capable of combat are instead given civillian tasks in the military. Those completely uncapable are to be given permission in order to not serve.
Soled has a long history of military rule. In fact, by modern standards it was not before the 90's that Soled stepped down from being a spartan-like military state.
