Our military are famous for being based on the British Army in uniform (but are them "in name only") taking elements of British, Finnish, Danish, French and Lithuanian military because of our nation's multicultural heritage.

However, we're not a knockoff or ripoff of them; we are distinct from any European army.

I have multiple puppets here; only a select few are used to represent the continent of Astholm; others used represent Westholme, and do not artificially boost my nation's statistics.Previously i used puppets with nation names that did not identify as Astholm (e.g. Australis Australia; now all new puppets use ASTHLM, NORTHLM, SOUTHLM, WESTHLM (HLM denoting The Holmes.
NOTE: Other uses of Astholm here have a different continuity and refer to work created by the user Astholm, not the nation

It's use of half-ton heavy soldier ants armed with spears and axes (Guns are a pain to manufacture in a post-nuclear wasteland, ya'know), and their tendency to immediately raid the sugar reserves of enemy encampments.

We're famous for a few things:
Our (arguably) stupid bravery
Our policy of "War is death. Whoever wins, the other dies."
Our other policy of "We will win because we will. There is no argument, for we have already won."
WE JUST DON'T DIE (Our soldiers, like all of us, have the ability to regenerate rapidly, so we fight on to the last breath, which is a long time for us)
We never lose, we just let you keep the trophy.
Our "Screamer" fighter pilots are trained to fight even after the flames erupt from the side.
