Anybody is allowed to serve, as long as they pass the health test and stuff.

Of course.

In fact, our deadliest sniper currently serving is Cpl Elizabeth Murgatroyd, RBJM. Her kill count is 175, greater than that of Chris Kyle, and counting, apparently.

This nation is what happens had the Anglo-Japanese Alliance developed further and resulted into something like Austria-Hungary. As a result, the USSR takes Japan's place in the Axis, and Japan is still part of the allies during World War 2. The war ended due to fear of nuclear war.

Does not use NS stats until further notice.

Women are allowed to serve in the military. They must meet the same conditioning and requirements as men. There are some specialized female roles when dealing with different cultures. Women are trained in military police and interrogation roles to search other women and interrogate other women, this is often necessary with some cultures. There is a tendency for women to have more support roles than combat roles. Although some roles have proven surprising. There is a tradition of women snipers in the Ghost Brigades. There is even a sniper sisterhood in the military. There are more women in the OESW Office of Economic and Special Warfare than men.

Everyone must do mandatory military service in the Hashizawan military.
Hashizawa does not represent my political beliefs

The nation name and characters on my flag are not Chinese

This is a fascist nation
Explanation of the flag
The characters down the side are the characters of fire, water, wood, earth, and metal. These are the 5 traditional Japanese or Chinese elements and a central part in Hashizawan religion. The large characters centered in the right of the flag are the characters to Hashizawa. The three stars outside of the central large star represent the commoners, the lords, and the emperor. The large central star represents Oichi, the current capital. Red stands for blood, white for the heavens, green stands for the earth.

Our military has more women than men. In fact, it wasn't until our last Premier, Konstantin Velikoselsky, was in office in the 1970's that men were allowed to join the military at all. Still, most high-ranking posts in the military are occupied by women.

Seriously, they are allowed to serve in almost all positions in the military, though some roles remain off limits such as any position on a submarine.

We actually have a large number of women in our submarines because women tend to be smaller than men and our submarines aren't exactly roomy.

Yes. Men and women serve together in all units except the Special Cavalry, which is all female. The Lesbian Collective Militia is of course also all female, but is not generally considered to be a military unit.

Women are completely forbidden from all aspects of the military. Their place is in the home and only the home.

There has been a movement recently to allow women to serve in tank crews only. This has been gaining some momentum and is beginning to be tested behind-the-scenes.

As Yuznoslavija's military is mostly post-partisan, everyone and anyone may contribute. Orphaned children, aged, or women are all normal sights in the Yuznoslav Antifascist Defence.

In the Novan Federal Armed Services, women make up an increasingly large percentage the higher ranks you look at. Only 20% of privates are female, but 35% of noncoms, 50% of commissioned officers, and 70% of flag officers are women.

There... Is a military here. But it doesn't matter what person goes to the military, if they go through moderation and are fit, it's okay.

We have children in the military here fighting. It's common because children are strong and powerful.

There's nothing preventing it, but everybody who joins has to qualify for membership in the USK military. However, there are barely any women in it.
