A few other nations still retain battleships.

My military would be famous for its outdated views on the psychological side of war (it's still a gentlemanly pursuit in my country), and for its excellent effectiveness in manoeuvre warfare both on land and at sea.

Our military makes up an incredibly small portion of our national budget. The number of personnel in the Air Force and Army (no Navy) put together is just barely 40, 000. However, as a result of this, the soldiers we do have are extremely highly trained and well-equipped as well.

Unlike some of my young and inexperienced counterparts, I hope we're not infamous for lack of mercy. Our function is to preserve, not to destroy. I hope our military is known for its compassion as well as its efficiency. I hope you understand that if you become our prisoners, you'll probably be treated better than you are by your own army.

What are we "known for," you ask?

Professionalism, polite courtesy to others, including those who are enemies, and a driving desire to succeed at anything to which we set ourselves, be that seizing an enemy strong point, or rushing food and medical care to starving children in one of the world's less fortunate regions.

Some of our soldiers do the same thing. They call it "sparkling eye" technique. Speaking in the indigenous language and playing indigenous music, handing out gifts and such.

But that's not what we're known for. It is mandatory for all boys to start the Beringian Youth Training Corps at the age of ten until they are eighteen. Then they must serve one year in the military in whatever field they like as long as it is done by the age of thirty.

Oh snap! La Habana has no military either.

So anyone can attack your nation and take over within few hours?


We have senior membership in a massive defensive alliance (The Vladivostok Alliance) which takes care of our defensive concerns, so no. Even though La Habana has no military of its own, we could still place a crippling economic embargo on any nation we want, because La Habana's economy is so overwhelmingly colossal. Failing that, La Habana could ask The Vladivostok Alliance to reduce the invader to a smouldering crater.

The "Vojsko Solyhniyi" is well-known for its cutting edge technology, efficiency, harsh and extensive training, professionalism and mercy. Our armed forces are very well-funded but are kept no larger than four million fighting personnel, so no expense is spared in providing equipment and training to the man on the ground. The army fights in mechanised columns and keeps a quick advance going, whilst an individual squad's equipment allows it a great degree of tactical autonomy and survivability without armoured vehicles if necessary. This tactic was used to great effect in the Solyhniya-Kurzhevsk war of 2007.

A small and elite force, the Augarian military is one of the best trained, and probably the best technologically equipped, force in the region of Tyrrhenia. Consisting of only 600,000 troops, only around 150,000 of which are active infantry, the Augarian military is a miniature defensive and strike-force, designed to 'get in, then get out' with low casualties, and high effectiveness.

The modern Augarian uniform consists of the following features:
-Heat-vision thermal visors
-Night Vision
-Gas Masks
-Temperature-controlling self-contained fiber exoskeleton
-Sidearm Belt Holster
-Main Weapon leg holster
-White fiber armor plates
-Built-in communications devices
-Backpack containing extra munitions, advanced computing controls, and global GPS tracking, functions with helm to provide visual data (map) of local surroundings in real time on the visor.
-Weapon is linked, in handle, to an easily detachable wrist slot, linking installed weapon data to the suit. the Visor HUD provides weapon statistics

in addition to the average WER COMPACT (WERCOM) assault rifle which utilizes advanced aiming modules built into the suit's heat-sensing visor to indicate when the opportune moment to fire (when sights are aligned) is. The WERCOM, additionally, contains an under-barrel shotgun, which has short range and a rather narrow spread, through it has been proven useful in close quarters, combined with the fact that the rifle itself is rather small.

The Augarian soldier is also stereotyped as uncaring, stoic, and wealth-obsessed, as they are payed 'by the kill' for each hostile they slaughter (which can be proven, via recorded footage of their visor), though they are severely punished for the intentional murder of civilians.
Libertarian Purity Test Score: 160
Capitalism is always the answer. Whenever there's a problem in capitalism, you just need some more capitalism. If the solution isn't capitalism, then it's not really a problem. If your capitalism gets damaged, you just need to throw some capitalism on it and get on with your life.

Sorry sir, but we also have cavalry (although they are never used in wars)

The thing is that we still fight with cavalry. Sorry for miswording that. I that other nations still cavalry but not for fighting. We still use our cavalry in wars even with our more advanced weopons and tanks.

We also have combat units of horse cavalry.
