Her Majesty's Ministry of Security
The Afalian Armed Forces formally known as Her Majesty’s Armed Forces of Afalia are the armed forces of the Kingdom of Afalia. Comprising three different branches-the Royal Afalian Army, the Royal Afalian Navy and the Royal Afalian Air Force, the forces were officially established in April 2013 following the end of the Titanican War where it became clear a modern and organised military was necessary for Afalia’s security and diplomatic and political influence.
Since its formation Afalia has taken part in a number of foreign interventions, joined international defence organisations and modernised and restructured its former security wing into a modern, fully equipped military dedicated to the defence of Afalia and deterrence of any future aggression.
In the light of the numbers of enquiries and requests for information on the Afalian armed forces and their current operations the secretary of state for security, the Rt. Hon Alice Cook MP, issued an order in council on the 20th of December 2013 allowing for the creation of a single, unified enquiries and information centre within the Ministry of Security to handle all information and administrative departments within Her Majesty’s Armed Forces.
Below links to requests for information and standard enquiries, applications to the armed forces for foreign persons or units, applications for overseas facilities and garrisons abroad and applications to request military bases to be hosted in Afalia and more can be found.

FOREIGN RECRUITMENT
Afalia’s tradition a socially tolerant, liberal and open society has been passed onto the armed forces in the form of foreign recruits. Since the passing of the Armed Forces Act 2013 the Afalian government has approved the recruitment of foreign citizens to all three branches of the forces, in almost all areas of service, with a range of benefits available for those who apply.
Unlike other armed forces the Afalian armed forces do not hold a single foreign legion or branch. Instead foreign recruits may choose which of the three branches they serve in. The requirements for applying to join the Afalian Armed Forces are as follows:
-Applicants are aged between the ages of 18 and 50.
-Applicants have the means to travel to Afalia to complete testing and training in order to become members of the armed forces.
-Applicants have no outstanding convictions or any previous violent or major criminal convictions.
-Applicants have at least a basic grounding in the English language and be willing to take lessons to improve their English if it does not meet armed forces standards.
-Applicants must be willing to be submitted to a basic security and background check.
-Applicants must be willing to serve at least three years in the armed forces unless they are honourably or dishonourably discharged.
Both male and female applicants are accepted and both may serve in equal frontline positions. Regiments are classified as mixed, all male or all female and applicants may indicate a preference for such a regiment when applying. Foreign recruits may select a particular role if they are successful and are not limited to frontline positions and operations. During service with the armed forces foreign recruits can expect:
-To be treated totally equally with native Afalian personnel.
-They will serve in the same regiments.
-They will be afforded the same welfare benefits and credits including free medical and dental care, housing and food and a pension.
-They will be able to serve in all the same roles bar service on one of Afalia’s four nuclear ballistic submarines, the so-called ‘Archangel Fleet.’
-The country will be bound to them under the so-called ‘Armed Forces Covenant’ which states that the public and government have an obligation to support active and non-active members of the armed forces.
-They will receive free mental healthcare during and after service, if required.
-They will receive free education credits during and/or after service, if required.
-They will, after three years service, gain Afalian citizenship and be entitled to the same rights and benefits of all Afalians.
-They will, if honourably discharged before three years, be entitled and gain Afalian citizenship.
Foreign recruits are expected to be dedicated, loyal and brave regardless of their role, and must swear an oath of allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Amelia, and pledge themselves to carry out their work to the best of their abilities. Recruits should be aware of the realities of service in the armed forces, both good and bad. Most importantly all foreign recruits must embrace the spirit of esprit de corps and dedicate themselves to their fellow servicemen and servicewomen.

OVERSEAS MILITARY BASING
As the nature and location of threats changes rapidly in the modern world the need for an immediate response and training in a variety of locations and environments is essential to ensure the continued security of Afalia and the maintenance of an expertly trained, fully prepared force. With this in mind, and a desire for better diplomatic, economic and cultural relations between Afalia and other sovereign states, the Afalian armed forces, including all three branches, is seeking locations across the globe to establish overseas facilities and garrisons. Though the conditions set out below are standard modifications can be made upon the request of the nation and/or after a period of negotiation:
-Afalian Armed Forces will generally seek to lease areas for bases for 99 years.
-Base areas will become the sovereign territory of the Kingdom of Afalia under the jurisdiction of the Afalian Armed Forces, and subject to Afalian law, in the same way as an embassy.
-Military and civilian personnel stationed at bases will be allowed access to the base’s host country’s sovereign territory outside of the base’s limits and will be subject to respective national laws when outside Afalian base territory.
-Bases for all three different branches of the armed forces are welcomed, especially bases which can accommodate more than one branch. Existing bases, or ‘existing land’ are particularly welcomed.
-Land which can be constructed or modified, ‘fresh land’ into a base for armed forces personnel will also be welcomed.
-$10,000 Universal Standard Dollars will be paid from the Exchequer of the Kingdom of Afalia to the host nation of a base per hectare of land. Large harbours, (at least 125 feet deep to accommodate submarines and at least three miles of waterfront) for naval bases will be worthy of $1 million universal standard dollars. Small harbours (with less than 125 feet depth and less than three miles of waterfront) will be worthy of $750,000 universal standard dollars.
-The Kingdom of Afalia must maintain sovereignty over the airspace of their bases’ borders regardless of the type of base.
-The Kingdom of Afalia must maintain sovereignty over the waters, (if a naval base), extending 3 nautical miles out from their base.
-Only conventional weapons will be stationed at Afalian overseas bases. No nuclear, chemical or biological weapons will be stationed in Afalian bases, nor will they enter the airspace or waters of the base.
-Respective of the policies pursued by some governments in regards to ‘national nuclear free zones’ Afalian nuclear powered ships and submarines will only be stationed in overseas bases with the contractual permission of the host nation. As stated above no nuclear weapons, including nuclear weapon carrying fleet of submarines will ever be stationed at Afalian overseas bases.
-In the spirit of diplomacy and co-operation a civilian military attaché will be stationed at any Afalian overseas base and act as a representative of the Afalian armed forces in that nation, updating and informing the host nation of activities such as large scale exercises within the base.
