[Sadakoyama]

When are people draughted in for National Service? Birth. Basic training begins in primary school.

Can those conscripted become officers? Yes, of course.
Give the timeline of a random person's National Service experience: One starts training in primary school, sort of like a Scouting program, where one learns first aid, basic marksmanship, physical fitness and health, woodcraft/camping, and working in a squad structure, that sort of thing. In the upper grades one transitions to an ROTC type program with more advanced lessons and a greater emphasis on fitness, along with tactics and strategy and the like. By the time one graduates (and becomes a legal adult), training is complete. Most folk do their year of active service right away, others wait to complete advanced degrees. It's better to do it young when one is strong and resilient and mostly unattached occupationally. After the year is complete, One is in the reserves, which means a weekend every month to keep one physically fit and familiar with one's reserve squad mates. Once a year there's a three week training/service mission.
What is the impact of National Service on society? It IS our society.

-They undergo a medical and psychological examination to ensure they are fit to serve
-They are assigned to a division
-Eight weeks of basic training, after which they are assigned a specialism
-A further eight weeks of training in that specialism, after which they begin active duty
-Following completion of service, they remain in the reserve for the next four years
What is the impact of National Service on society? Supporters claim military service fosters a sense of unity and equality amongst citizens. It is also seen as being an important rite of passage for 'turning boys into men', and teaching them how to defend themselves, as well as the nation and the socialist system, if they should ever come under attack. Opponents question the practicality of having a conscript army in the modern age, especially as Britain is a neutral state and not in any serious danger of invasion. The fact that only males are conscripted has also become a major source of controversy in recent years. Many, particularly young people, are now in favour of either extending conscription to women, or abolishing it altogether.

[Republica Federal de Catalunya]

Is there compulsory military service (hereinafter known as National Service) in YN?
The Military became the facto all volunteer after cold war end. But the need to increase the pool of recruits made the Government to restart draft in 2019.

It has evolved to a selective draft. So it's now like a short hiring contract by the military instead.

Formally still exists. was called formally. Servei Militar there was a draft, but you still could volunteer for the shorter term SNM or be a contract soldier. There es also a substitutive service for those that are conscience objectors.

As armed forces numbers fell after the cold war end. It became "volunteer" as the pool of needed recruits was covered by volunteer recruits and contract soldiers.
Also as it became De facto volunteer it meant the despenalization of insumission.
That had it effect in the end of the alternative Servei Social Voluntari.

If not, disregard the below.

Do both men and women have to do National Service? Yes, women have to pass the same physical tests than men. In general there is enough volunteers and contract soldiers to don't need draft in peacetime.

When are people draughted in for National Service? Normally at 18 after ending college. You can become a contract soldier at 16 if You are emancipated )you cannot serve overseas, combat duty or abroad until 18). In general only contract soldiers can serve in combat duties in peacetime. It's very popular specially at village level or neighbourhood level to have "quintos" parties for youngsters that get 18 that year. Students can delay entrance into service. Or do only basic training and often only expend weekends on boot camp.

Do all people have to do National Service? technically Yes, for nationals and legal residents. Until it became voluntary De facto. When it was compulsory there were exceptions. As not being fit for service, being the only income of you family or having small kids.

For how long must someone do National Service? (9 to 12 months in the military (depending on branch and service specialization) it was 12 to 15 month on social national service. Also 15 years in reserves for men and 3 for women.

Can those conscripted become officers? No. But NCO candidates and Officer candidates pass the same basic training than draftees. So it's unlikely that a drafted gets to officer at least in peacetime. There is a university students program that gets grants for university doing a complement officer course. Or joining territorial army.

Give the timeline of a random person's National Service experience: basic training 8 weeks. Pledge loyalty to the Constitution. 4 weeks specialist training rest of service training and deployment. Then 45 days paid retraining.

What is the impact of National Service on society?
Is disputed. But in general is considered positive. Also skills obtained during service are considered positive for civilian life.

[VlaRiSsiA]

Is there compulsory military service (hereinafter known as National Service) in YN? Yes, everyone over the age of 17 is abducted and sent to the military. There is no choice and anyone who resists will face a fate worse than death.

Do both men and women have to do National Service? Yes, our conscription does not discriminate. Men and Women have to be in the military for the same time and must both go through rigorous courses. However, due to the moralistic and oppressive regime, women tend to never have any official power and genders are segregated to prevent any inappropriate behavior.

When are people draughted in for National Service? Everyone at age 17 must be part of the military. Also, the first child in each family will be drafted to the child forces the moment they are born to create eternal soldiers.

Do all people have to do National Service? Yes, no one is exempt from mandatory conscription. Those with medical conditions are simply executed if they don’t fare well. Elderly people can be drafted if the situation calls for as many soldiers as possible.

For how long must someone do National Service? The usual length of service in the Military is 20 years total(3 years training, 9 years active and 8 years reserve).

Can those conscripted become officers? No. VlaRiSsiA practices a system in which people are born into different Military classes. Only those born into the inner circle can get power, so conscripts cannot.

Give the timeline of a random person's National Service experience:
-A person turns 17 and is abducted by the Military Enlistment Authorities. Their parents do not worry since propaganda makes them believe that they magically were transformed into soldier at by the Supreme Leader.
-They are tested for their loyalty to the supreme leader, and if they aren’t completely worshipping him, they will be crucified.
-After the test, the 3 year training begins in which they arr put through real life vigorous courses that are very lethal. They begin the first section of the training, where they are taught how to use weapons, fight, drive vehicles, act in battle etc.
-After they finish the year long 1st section, they begin the 2nd section of the training where they are forced to go through realistic violent scenarios and have their skills improved through endless rigorous exercises and psychological torture
-After they finish the year long 2nd section, they begin the 3rd and final section where they master all the skills necessary and are be put through physical and psychological torture that most people could not handle. They are put through forced labor, torture, starvation, and are forced to see gruesome imagery. This removes any weakness or humanity from them, turning them into a brutalized soldier. This section is the most dangerous and about 10% who go through this will die(making it deadlier than soviet gulags).
-Once the training has ended, and they are now placed in the active duty personnel and must fight for the Swampland
-After 9 years, they are sent to the reserve personnel
-After 8 years in reserve, they may finally be “free” but they will be conscripted again when the situation is dire

What is the impact of National Service on society? It makes sure that no other country in the world is brave enough to fight the Swampland, protecting it from invasions and allowing it to expand its influence and power.

[Seleyah]

Is there compulsory military service (hereinafter known as National Service) in YN? No.

However National Service has been enacted on three occasions in Seleyah history.

- In 1918. Almost 150,000 Seleyahns (out of a population of 1.5 million) volunteered to serve in the First World War. However late 1917 measures were put in place to initiate conscription. The legislation wasn't passed until April 1918, the first conscripts were not conscripted until July 1918 and the first conscripts did not complete their training and transit to Europe until after 11 November 1918, therefore no conscripts served in the front line during the war.
- 1941 - 1945. At the outbreak of the Second World War the incumbent Labour government initially refused to introduce conscription, although legislation was put in place should conscription be required. In December 1941 after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour conscription was rapidly introduced. Notably only Seleyahn volunteers served in the campaigns in North Africa and Italy alongside Australians and New Zealander's. Seleyahn conscripts were fed into campaigns in South East Asia and the Pacific against the Japanese.
- 1965 - 1970. After Seleyah military forces were committed to support the US in the Vietnam War selects be conscription was introduced. A number of Seleyahn conscripts served in the Vietnam War, although when Labour returned to power conscription was ended immidiately, with all combat forces withdrawn by 1971.

Ever since national service has not existed in Seleyah although from time to time some minor politicians articulate a desire to bring back national service. Unless a threat to the homeland emerges it is unlikely to ever be brought back.

[Capoliveri]

Is there compulsory military service (hereinafter known as National Service) in YN? No.

Whilst Capoliverians are not drafted into the military, citizens are strongly encouraged (and required for those wanting to join the Capoliverian Socialist Party) to join the Guardia Rossa (lit. 'Red Guards). The Guardia Rossa serves as a sort of national paramilitary organization and both men and women aged 25-60 are urged to join.

[Nacrad]

Is there compulsory military service (hereinafter known as National Service) in YN? Yes
If not, disregard the below.
Do both men and women have to do National Service? Yes
When are people draughted in for National Service? At 18, all residents and citizens must complete a short training period. Then, they may return to their civilian lives, but must complete 1 year of military membership between their 18th and 30th birthdays.
Do all people have to do National Service? Yes, but if they are not qualified, or conscientiously object to military service, they would be made to perform Alternative Civilian Service, like being a medic, caretaker or engineer.
For how long must someone do National Service? For those taking military service, 1 year of service plus 8 weeks of training; for those in alternative service, 15 months of service plus 8 weeks of basic training involving basic firearm usage and items relevant to their selected field of service.
Can those conscripted become officers? No, the highest rank is Lance Corporal. However, those having a university degree may choose to start as an officer, from which they would receive an additional 8 weeks of training and enter as a lieutenant.
Give the timeline of a random person's National Service experience: At age 18, just after their Senior Secondary Diploma Examination, they would report to their chosen military branch for training.
Shortly after, the person would board a bus to their nearest military base, where they would receive a haircut, and have their physical strength tested. If they fail the test, they would be made to choose their field of alternative service. However, most people would pass this test.
In the 8 weeks, they would learn how to use firearms, basic military terminology, marching, among other things. After which, they would receive a Certificate of Training Completion, which grants them the rank of Private.
Assuming that they do not immediately perform their year of service, they would be sent back to home, with a reminder of performing a year of service.
When they report to the military for the second time, they would be given a "refresh course", where the items of training are quickly revised. They would then be sent to the garrison to carry out their defence duty. It is unlikely for them to be deployed to warfare, as the voluntary force (those who choose to remain in the military after their draft period) is more than enough for the conflicts we are currently in.
After their discharge, they are allowed to keep their uniform, insignia and any medals they have earned, along with a Firearm Usage and Possession Permit and a Certificate of Mandatory Service Completion (Military), and are highly encouraged to enroll in the Reservist Preparation Course every 5 years to refresh their memory on the skill they have earned.

[Free Republics]

Any form of slavery violates the Federation Constitution and is therefore unlawful. Furthermore, all slaves who set foot anywhere in the Free Republics are automatically freed and are welcome to remain in our country. This would even apply to slaves who were members of an invading military force who would also be richly rewarded for providing military secrets to our armed forces which are comprised of free men who serve on a voluntary and at-will basis. In fact, large numbers of our soldiers exercising their constitutional right to quit the military helped bring down the tyrant Reino Kulseth.

If not, disregard the below.

Do both men and women have to do National Service? Yes

When are people draughted in for National Service? A person can individually choose, but it must be completed between the date that they leave school, and their 30th birthday.

Do all people have to do National Service? No, there are plenty of exceptions, including people with health conditions and a doctor's note, people who have graduated from university, athletes with a professional contract, etc. People who do not wish to participate in national service and do not meet an exemption can send an application form to their local deputy or mayor stating their reasons, which can be approved or declined.

For how long must someone do National Service? There are two types of national service, military and civil service. People who meet physical requirements for military service may choose between the two, and people who do not meet physical requirements for military service nor an exemption must enlist in civil service, which involves community service activities. Military and civil service periods are 1 year and 18 months for men respectively and 6 months and 1 year respectively for women. After military service, all men are in the reserve force until the age of 30, provided they pass a physical test each year, and women may choose to do so.

Can those conscripted become officers? Yes, at the end of their compulsory military service, if a conscript stands out, they may be offered a position to continue in the military as an officer.

What is the impact of National Service on society? National service has most importantly impacted the economically disadvantaged and populations vulnerable to crime. During national service, food and housing is provided for the entire period, as well as a small wage, and skills useful in the workforce are learned, allowing many to return and more easily find a job and get out of crime. In addition, in the case of national defence in a war, the majority of the population would have some of the necessary survival skills.

For how long must someone do National Service? Civil Service lasts for two years.

Can those conscripted become officers? N/A

Give the timeline of a random person's National Service experience: An average 18 year old would graduate from secondary school at the end of the year they turn 18. They would have a few months of holiday to think on the path they wish to follow during Civil Service, unless they are already in an apprenticeship - in such a case it would be most likely they continue their apprenticeship as their Civil Service.

Depending on a person's choice, the timeline of their Civil Service will differ. What does not differ are it's components. During the first year, Civil Service is split between basic military training and local apprenticeship into one's occupation of choosing (or adjunct to a professional, should the occupation require tertiary qualification). In the second year, the apprenticeship continues, whilst the basic military training gives way to service in one's communal militia (their local constabulary/gendarmerie).

As such, by the end of Civil Service, all will possess a basic competency in defence and firearms, possess (at least) two-year of work experience in an occupation or area of their choosing, and have developed networks in both their occupation/area and local community.

Those who abstain from combat training are instead trained exclusively in non-combat roles, such as medical, logistical, and communications roles. Likewise, those who choose to pursue full military/militia apprenticeships during their Civil Service are given more comprehensive training, and are likely to go on to become enlisted.

At the conclusion of Civil Service, one can either complete their apprenticeship or go on to tertiary education.

What is the impact of National Service on society?

The Civil Service acts as a time for experimentation and growth for Australic youth. Fresh out of high school, they can explore a career path and make a more informed decision about their future occupation. Most stick with their first choice, but the option always exists to try something else.

It also provides youths with valuable practical work experience, as well as social experience. Those in Civil Service will meet new people, forge networks and relationships with their fellow workers and fellow 'conscripts', and build a greater connection to their community. For apprentices, they can simply transition to full employment after Civil Service, whilst those who need tertiary qualification will still have connections they can rely on once they have gained such qualifications. Nobody is stepping into the future blind.

That the vast majority of citizens are combat trained is integral to Australia's defence should the nation ever be invaded. As Indonesia and its allies' armed forces and overall population vastly outnumber Australia's, it is imperative to dissuade a full military invasion by creating both a physical and social nation-wide defence infrastructure. In a time of defence, ordinary citizens - under the marshallship of the militias - will be able to fortify their communes and defend against incursion, whilst the professional defence force conducts counter-offensive operations. From a libertarian perspective, it also ensures the citizenry are capable and able to defend themselves from any tyranny being opposed on them, as a community.

Finally, the Civil Service is a great equaliser - whatever situation one was in beforehand, there is an equity of outcome and a shared experience.
