Both genders can serve in the Wikipedian Armed Forces equally.

No, because we believe in protecting women and children, although we have not ruled out employing women soldiers in case of dire need

Well considering we're a Matriarchy, yes they are. As a matter of fact, more than 50% of the 'grunts' are women, with men often taking on the roles of NCO's, armour commanders, army CO's and special forces. Not that you'd be able to distinguish the men from the women, though. :lol:

OF coarse the are, men and women are equal in Kalaspia-Shimarata, but even if we were sexist against women, why would we stop women from killing our enemy if they're willing. The more soldiers the better, right? and why would we care if they were killed if we did hate them so much? Which we don't! Oh, and by the way, men and women serve equally in all units

Kalaspia-Shimarata's flag represents the Union between K&S. The dark blue represents the sea and the light blue represents the sky. In Kalashi language considers light blue and dark blue to be different colours. England colonised, and unified K&S, between 1774 and 1953, and English, light blue and dark blue are considered to be the same colour. Therefore, the contrast between dark blue and light blue represents the union, but the differences between K&S where as blue being two but simultaneously one colour represents K&S being two, but simultaniously one entity. The opposite to the symmetry represents the unity and indipendance of K&S, whilst also representing the Kalashi culture of opposite symmetry.KS is 75% Christian, hence the cross.

Yes, in fact due to the compact nature of our IFVs' and tanks' crew compartments the vast majority of tank and IFV crew are female. The maximum height is about 5'3" or 5'4", you can join the armoured corps if you are taller, but will have a hell of a time passing if you can barely fit in your vehicle.

Anyone denied any job for gender reasons counts as discrimination, and that includes the military.

Espescially with the largest and most militarily active minority in Sol Bella being a matriarchal and predominantly female race (Ponies if you didn't get it), it's not quite possible to realistically segregate and cut our military down to about half its size should that happen.
A Spanish-speaking, First World, Pseudo-African nation that has only been in FT for two years after advancing past the PMT tech level with a single space colony. Significant Pony minority. The nation is known for its export of energy and information technology services, and is known among its nearby neighbors in Africa for providing the finest scientific materials and personnel in the region.

Bethmora has for a long time been dominated by female soldiers and management, only in the last century or so have men been accepted as valued members of the military system. Before this time women were the sole gender in the military and were very successful, although men were used in war and defence but were not highly regarded.

Yes, of course. About 47% of the enlisted people in the air force are women, 35% of the enlisted people in the army are women, and 16% of the enlisted people in the navy are women.

Yes, they are considered equal and in the same units. We don't feature a big army though, currently below 5,000 soldiers. The Crataan army is trying to stay below 10,000. Female units pose around half of these soldiers.

That's a very small army, even for peacetime. Does the size increase in the event of war?

Hardly. We actually went up from 1,700 and the Government was trying to push the Enduring Peace Act (EPA), effectively eliminating our military. Crata is mainly guarded by the International Community (ICPPO, ADS, LUNA). We see a big army as a threat to international peace. But we totally see your point.

Meh, we'll stick to having a huge military for use as a deterrent, thank you. Besides, you can't exactly return a pair of Longswords.

Women openly and proudly serve Ati's planets and systems, defending against its many enemies as they are conscripted as well into the forces by the age of eighteen. They are fully allowed into all branches and are free to serve in any role they choose, provided they can pass and continue to pass the exams.

However, women seem to make up a larger proponent of the Navy's fleet officers and the strategic offices of the Marines than they do on the frontal forces.

In Dolmhold, everyone is allowed to serve in the military and training is compulsory, usually taken while at university as if it is their physical education course or a break from their training for a doctor's degree. Everyone is allowed to serve in any branch, but generally there is a bit more men in the army and roughly equal everywhere else, including the space forces. The number of professional military personal is very low though, as exceptionally harsh requirements need to be met. In times of invasion the case is exceptionally different, the professional military is trained to break apart and lead cells of resistence, picking up weapons from uncountable number of hidden supply caches and directing the resistence groups.
