oh and in case it isn't obvious, military conflict is not a major focus of our interest in participating in the simulation of running a country.

The Zhouranese People's Army utilizes a vast array of highly-sophisticated military equipment designed to keep the military successful against competitors in the global arms race. The Scientific Military Research Bureau, an advanced military research agency subordinate to the People's Defense Council, is responsible for the research and development of new technologies for military use, as well as forming and executing research and development projects to expand the frontiers of technology and science and able to reach far beyond immediate military requirements. The People's Republic of Zhouran spends around US$2,742,624,000,000 annually to fund the Zhouranese People's Army. Thanks to its advanced and sophisticated equipment, as well as its massive blue-water navy and significant aviation capability, Zhouran has significant force projection capabilities. This element is very crucial to the nation's power, diplomatic credibility and national interests.

Military service is extremely popular in Zhouran. Technically, military service with the Zhouranese People's Army is obligatory for all Zhouranese citizens. However, in practice, it is entirely voluntary; due to the popularity of military service and the large number of individuals who volunteer to join. Any males and females of 18-22 years of age can register themselves with the government authorities. Conscription has only existed in theory since the establishment of the People's Republic of Zhouran in 1956. Technically, those who have registered themselves enter selective compulsory military service, with a 36-month service obligation. Military service is performed in the regular armed forces. Due to the extreme popularity of military service, it is difficult to join the military. Each year, an average of around 16 - 20 million people would sign up to join the ZPA, but only around a few million would successfully join.

From May 14, 1947 to September 8, 1956, the Zhouranese Civil War brought an era of division and stagnation within Zhouranese civilization, but in just ten years, Zhouran went from an industrial-power-turned-warzone into a reconstructed-industrial-power. Since the late stage of the Cold War, Zhouran is a political, economic and military superpower with the ZPA being one of the "Three Pillars of Zhouranese Power". While the nation's global diplomacy and massive prosperous economy represent the soft-power section, the ZPA represents the hard-power section of Zhouranese Power.

By the end of the 1970s, not only did Zhouran became a highly-developed wealthy nation with a GDP per capita (PPP) and human-development-index higher than countries such as the US, but it also became an economic powerhouse since by the end of that decade Zhouran already had the world's second-largest economy. As for defense spending, Zhouran's military expenditure rapidly grew along with the national GDP, by the start of the 1990s Zhouran had the world's largest defense budget, and while the US budget did grow following 9/11, Zhouran retook the spot of first place throughout much of the 2010s. Not only that, since the 1960s, Zhouran's reconstruction of its industries led to the rebirth of its military-industrial-complex, which ever since the 1980s became the world's largest in terms of total production of weapons and munitions. Not only did Zhouran's MIC outproduced America's, but since the 1970s and 80s, the country challenged the US in both military industrial production and military digital technology.

In the late 1970s, the Zhouranese People's Army Air Force became the first in the world to operationally use fully-commissioned fighter jets equipped with passive electronically scanned array (PESA) radars, giving PESA radar-equipped fighter jets such as the Jian-20-1-0 and Jian-19-0-1 an advantage over rival fighter jets equipped with standard pulse-Doppler radars such as the US Navy's F-14A Tomcat and the US Air Force's F-15 Eagle. Not only that, since the mid-1980s, the ZPA Air Force was the first in the world to operate fully-commissioned fighter jets equipped with thrust vectoring engine nozzles, giving supermaneuverable fighter jets such as the Jian-21-2 and Jian-18-2-0 a dogfight advantage over rivals.

Within the areas of naval warfare, Zhouran began producing heavily-armed guided-missile destroyers since the 1960s and 70s, and by the 1970s the ZPA Navy operated DDGs such as the Type 1965 Douzheng-class and Type 1968 Taifeng-class, which rivaled destroyers from the US at the time such as the Charles F. Adams-class, Spruance-class, and Kidd-class. The 1970s also saw the birth of Zhouran's nuclear navy, resulting in vessels such as the Type 1971 Shenlun-class SSN and Type 1976 Xinshi-class CVN.

Conventional warfare is not just an area Zhouran outpaced the former USSR and challenges the US in, but in the realm of nuclear warfare, the Colossal War-Fighter (referring to the combined military, paramilitary, and industrial strength the People's Republic uses in the geopolitical arena that takes the form of a heavy-niujiazhu warrior wearing an ayanluluoheli plate armor) uses his assault ayanjiamujuela (a type of Zhouranese ayanjiuamujuela or two-handed sword) as his trump card. From the mid 60s to the mid 90s, in the span of three decades, Zhouran conducted numerous Military Nuclear Research Exploration Projects (a buzzword of ambiguous nature), not to mention that the country produces highly-powerful ICBMs ranging from the early Xing Jian-1 silo-launched ICBM of the 1960s, to the high-MIRV-capable Taiyang Jian-3 heavy ICBM to the road-mobile MIRV-capable Yue Jian-5 road-mobile ICBM and so on. Currently Zhouran has an estimate of up to 1,640 active nuclear warheads out of a total of 6,380 nuclear warheads, the third largest in the world, its ICBM stockpile has enough range and MIRV capability to deliver apocalyptic firepower to basically most corners of the world. Since the late 70s, Zhouran maintains a first-use policy on the usage of both strategic and tactical nuclear weapons.

Within the Zhouranese People's Army, the average Zhouranese soldier and officer serves multiple years of numerous tours of duty abroad in other countries, fighting in various terrains ranging from forests to urban to jungles to deserts. As a result, the average Zhouranese soldier and officer has the battle experiences and know-hows, and for commissioned officers this is backed by five years of highly-rigorous highly-competitive technical-oriented military education in Zhouran's various military academies. Highly-experienced and battle-hardened, the ZPA conducts various military expeditionary operations abroad and overseas military-operations-other-than-war (MOOTW) every year. The ZPA's numerous assortment of powerful highly-advanced weapons and cutting-edge technology along with its highly-significant capabilities in both defense and power projection due to a large military budget as well as constant overseas deployment of troops has resulted in a large well-armed battle-experienced military force fully-capable of widespread deployment of force and firepower around the world. This is further supported by the nation's highly-robust R&D, rigorously-methodical military training, and meticulously-complex military education. Thanks to its massive pool of battle-hardened highly-experienced soldiers and officers, the ZPA has a very long history of sending military advisers and instructors abroad to assist foreign militaries.

In order for Zhouranese officer cadets to become commissioned officers, they must undergo five years of intense study through highly-rigorous highly-competitive technical-oriented military education in Zhouran's various military academies. During their time at a military academy, officer cadets go through rigorously-methodical learning on the areas of military organization, military theories, military history, tactics, strategy and grand strategy, operational level of war, logistics, armaments and other areas relating to war. Through the meticulously-complex Zhouranese military education system, officer cadets who graduate and become commissioned officers receive education comparable to that of a Specialist degree (above Masters' but below Doctorate in the Zhouranese academic degree system), in comparison, foreign military academies of other nations commonly award their cadets with a Bachelors' degree. Once a Zhouranese officer cadet becomes a commissioned officer, they are quickly assigned to their first tour of duty in order to build up on their experience in the field.

Numerically large and technologically advanced, the Zhouranese People's Army is highly-experienced and battle-hardened, conducting various military expeditionary operations abroad and overseas military-operations-other-than-war (MOOTW) every year. The ZPA's numerous assortment of powerful highly-advanced weapons and cutting-edge technology along with its highly-significant capabilities in both defense and power projection due to a large military budget as well as constant overseas deployment of troops has resulted in a large well-armed battle-experienced military force fully-capable of widespread deployment of force and firepower around the world.


The Zhouranese People's Army maintains massive arsenal of state-of-the-art weaponry, with Zhouranese weapons and equipment having been designed to be modular due to strong Zhouranese emphasis on adaptability and flexibility for fluid situations. The Zhouranese are aware that in order for soldiers to be in their peak performance, they must have access to the best arsenal possible since weaker weapons can bring down the potential performances of troops in the field.

Utilizing numerous 100% indigenous made-in-Zhouran weaponry, the Zhouranese People's Army maintains a vast array of highly-sophisticated military equipment designed to keep the military successful against competitors in the global arms race, which is further supported by the nation's highly-robust R&D and massive military-industrial-complex. In terms of the hyper-advanced equipment used by the Ground Force, examples include the Type 04-08 MBT with its state-of-the-art electronics and protection, the Type 07 advanced MBT with its next-generation armor and powerful 140mm ETC gun, the Type 1996 Tactical Infantry Armored Suit (gen. 1; un-powered) for greater infantry protection, the Type 2012 Tactical Infantry Armored Suit (gen. 2; powered-exoskeleton) for both enhanced protection and physical assistance in speed and strength, and the elusive Type 1000 Tactical Combat Mechanical Armored Suit (hyper-sophisticated powered-exoskeleton known for its usage of metamaterial nanofiber mechanical-muscle and providing the wearer with biological enhancements for superhuman feats). There's much more advanced weaponry and equipment used by the Ground Force, but there are too much to list.

With Air Force and Naval Aviation, they operate a wide range of advanced combat aircraft, the main stars being the fighter jets themselves. The ZPA Air Force and ZPA Naval Aviation both operate the most advanced fighter jets in the world as well as the largest fleet of combat aircraft in total. In the late 1970s, the Zhouranese People's Army Air Force became the first in the world to operationally use fully-commissioned fighter jets equipped with passive electronically scanned array (PESA) radars, giving PESA radar-equipped fighter jets such as the Jian-20-1-0 and Jian-19-0-1 an advantage over rival fighter jets equipped with standard pulse-Doppler radars such as the US Navy's F-14A Tomcat and the US Air Force's F-15 Eagle. Not only that, since the mid-1980s, the ZPA Air Force was the first in the world to operate fully-commissioned fighter jets equipped with thrust vectoring engine nozzles, giving supermaneuverable fighter jets such as the Jian-21-2 and Jian-18-2-0 a dogfight advantage over rivals. The Zhouranese currently operate a wide array of various highly-sophisticated fighter jet designs including the Jian-25-1-2 gen. 4++ fighter jet, Type 114-900 gen. 4++ carrier-borne fighter jet, Jian-24-3-0 gen. 4+++ fighter jet, Type 116-200 gen. 5+ carrier-borne stealth fighter, Jian-30-1-0 gen. 5++ stealth fighter, and Jian-31-0 gen. 6+ stealth fighter, all designed for maximum full-spectrum total air-dominance over friendly and hostile skies. The effectiveness of both Zhouranese fighter pilots and fighter jets is so high that there are actually debates regarding maximizing the effectiveness of Zhouranese fighter pilots. The controversial close-knit group known as the Boys in Blue (Putonghua: 蓝衣人), consisting of military officers from the ZPA Air Force and ZPA Naval Aviation along with civilian defense analysts and military researchers, use past and present combat experiences of various Zhouranese fighter pilots for their arguments in favor of retiring all light fighters and dedicated CAS aircraft in exchange for more heavy multirole fighter jets, although not everyone shares their radical sentiments.

Moving to the Navy, they're known for operating a wide variety of powerful warships, with strongest emphasis placed on guided-missile destroyers and nuclear-powered submarines. Examples include the Type 2001 Heilaohu-class DDG, Type 2004 Laixinsun-class DDGN, Type 2008 Chengun-class SSN and Type 1188 class of SSN. The ZPA Navy is a nuclear navy that focuses strongly on expeditionary warfare and sheer firepower to decimate any enemy fleets it encounters.

the armed forces of gwrachbyd generally do not involve themselves in other's wars (though we do make exceptions in cases of unjust aggression) but without knowing your situation we can not join you on the battlefield

we also note that military strength is not a quantitative value. just because a nation has 100s of tanks does not mean that those tanks are effective in the modern battlefield. the same can be said of aircraft and other weapons of war.

that said we are more than happy to offer trade deals with your nation for access to export variants of our weapons. (and some of our venerable equipment that is currently in the process of being phased out) (PMT level)
though we can not provide any guarantee of exclusivity.

if interested send us a telegram and we can provide you with a list of weapons and equipment that we can offer you. including part output of our current run on tanks (if you wish to mount your own weapon systems we can provide them faster and cheaper)

we currently have a large surplus of infantry combat armour, infantry weapons including small arms, anti armour weapon systems, and precision rifles that are in the process of being phased out.

tankettes armed with ATGMs, mortars, SAMs and autocannons.

BF-1 endo-exo atmospheric attack jet, (current production model, we can offer them at reduced rates if you wish to load them with your own weapon systems)

we can also provide you with weapon systems custom made for your own vehicles (provide a list of vehicles and we can provide you with weapon options)

Quality & quantity aren't binary dichotomies. If that's the case then the Swiss military or the New Zealand military should be superior to any larger military such as the Chinese military, US military, etc. But in reality warfare doesn't work like video games and numerous factors come into play regarding the quality of a military ranging from resources to industrial base to R&D to training & education, etc.
