[Miku the Based]

Name of Army: MKGNR armed force: S-class
Skill: 9/10 ghrka
Discipline: 4/10 Tribal
Morale: 10/10 Fanatical
Explanation: MKGNR did actually fight something of a genocide on all fronts in the independence war and faith is intrigral to fighting in armed forces so morale is high. Skill is high because they are the best of the best that the MKGNR has to offer with it's large population that already does firearms training in high school with High grade marksmenship examination. Tribal in Discipline because although they are drilled to heaven and back with small unit tactics and friend foe identification techiques they function conventionally more like irregular guerilla with no NCO or high rank authority having complete authority over them. They preform incredibally well on a unit by unit basis but anything more then that looks like a jumbled mess, they won't stand in a skirmish line even if you instruct them to, likewise they won't huddle together in one room even if you tell them to. They have however been incredibly good at being forward observers, they know how to read maps and coordinates to soir targets for rocket artillery and close air support.

Name of Army: MKGNR armed force
Skill: ranges from 4/10 newbie to 9/10 ghurka on normal distribution scale
Discipline: 4/10 tribal
Morale: 10/10 Fanatical
Explanation: Apart from the already mentioned genocidal war against the MKGNR just before the official birth of the nation the population is a devoutly religious population devoted to serving the Mikuite faith and follows the head of state which is god. Discipline is again Tribal but the small unit tactics is not so well developed, since they function more like Militia and drilled majorly on personal idenification of friend and foe and basic marksmanship not much else. The skill ranges so widely because the entire population basically consists of this element that can be called as a citizen soldier at moments notice. It ranges from just barely hitting 7 inch target at 250 yards that one time in high school to being able to hit a 8 inch target at 800 yards any day of the week in middle of adverse weather conditions. The upper end consists of people who did exceptionally well in examinations but wish not to join the s class for personal reasons.

[HarYan]

Most soldiers are something in beteween 4/10 - Newbie and the 5/10 - Trained, because they're recruits that receive a basic training to be reservists in case a war may happen and be used as a National Guard if needed to. They train a lot squad tatics, firearms use, and some even get a much larger specializantion in certains areas (these ones, like tankists, artillerymen, snipers, e.t.c, are like 6/10 or 7/10). But the physical conditioning for these soldiers is very basic, they can't for example jump from a helicopter, they're like militiamen with some training and with a pretty good organization. But after this they may try, if they want to, to become professional soldiers (or sergenteants or officers). And if they pass the tests, they will get lots of better training trough the time which will turn them into very good combatents of all kinds.

Discipline

The average recruits are 6/10 - Bonded, the soldiers coordinate well with their teammates and can work with other military elements well. Squadron leader soldiers are teached how to act with combined arms, and somewhat toghetter the armoured vehicles, artillery and air support. But the profs are much more capable than that and are very disciplined to do tjeir job like if part of a big machine, to 8/10 to 9/10.

Morale

We can say that all soldier is at least 6/10 - High Spirits, the average citizen is already very nationalistic and patriotic, and the Army only reinforce this aspect and this kind of thinking. The professionals, however, we can easily say that they're 10/10 - Fanatical
These soldiers are simply impossible to scare. They fight as if their enemy is a genocidal monster hoping to wipe their civilization out!, because fot them serve the country and the Emperor is their very reason to live and to die for.

[Chiloshia]

Chiloshia's military scores can be divided between the Army Core (Career soldiers, specialists, and officers) and the Service Army (generalist conscripts). The division is far from clean, but typically, the more complex the duty expected, the more likely a unit with a high core-army percentage (usually Maxing around 70% on the division level, but sometimes completely pure in smaller units) gets sent.

Name of Army: Chiloshian Army/Navy/AF/Marines (Core)
Skill: 7
Discipline: 9
Morale: 8
Explanation: Some units of the Army Core are absolute nightmares for even foreign special forces, but others are more normal. They are quite well-bonded and are led by the best of society in their officers, who at 15 are selected from the most physically and mentally fit of their class, given offers, and upon acceptance are trained for well-paying military leadership careers for years, leading to almost-unbreakable discipline. Their morale is fantastic, and only barred from a higher morale score in that Chiloshian Military Doctrine has uses for tactical retreats in the right circumstances and allows surrender in the case of shot-down planes, sinking ships, small unit encirclement, unarmed capture, etc, rather than mandating a banzai charge every time you hit 2% ammo levels or are against overwhelming odds.

Name of Army: Chiloshian Military: "Service Army/Navy/AF/Marines" (Conscripts)
Skill: 5
Discipline: 6
Morale: 5.5
Explanation: These are the everymen of the armed services, conscripts. They receive sufficient and frequently-reinforced training, and special care is taken to improve their cooperation. Not always particularly enthusiastic to spend two years in the army, they are however are bolstered by the presence of hearty core soldiers, quality officers, and in most cases that they would be called to battle, superior numbers. İt is also worth noting that legislation is being considered for this term of parliament to soften the rate of conscription and increase the number of honorable disqualifications for active military service, as well as turning some deferments into complete exemptions.

Name of Army: Republic of Crossoveria Armed Forces
Skill: Carolean
Discipline: Prussian
Morale: Fanatical
Explanation: The Republic of Crossoveria Armed Forces are the combined military forces in Crossoveria, compromising of the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, and Coast Guard. The Crossoverian Armed Forces are among the largest in the region in terms of active troops. Crossoveria's military forces are made up of 5,000,000 active duty personnel plus 5,000,000 reserve and trained personnel. These numbers include all branches.

[Northern Connecticut]

Name of Army : Armed force of Northern Connecticut
Skill: 6/10
Discipline: 7/10
Morale: 6/10
Explanation: The reason why the skill is at 6 is that the army requires all of its soldiers to be trained for several months before being sent to the battlefield. Discipline is a 7 because of the fact that the army uses propaganda to instill values such as patriotism and comradery. The good training and team-building exercise to teach recruits to get along also play a role in this. The reason why morale is where it is is that the army supplies good living quarters and food to its soldiers, soldiers are intensely patriotic, and propaganda also plays a role.

[GreatOceania]

Name of Army: Oceanian Armed Forces
Skill: 10/10 Carolean
Discipline: 10/10 Prussian
Morale: 10/10 Fanatical
Explanation: those who joined the OAF go through Harsh training that has killed many making them well fit and face Strict discipline and harsh punishments from the drill officer making them well disciplined and hardened and been heavily indoctrinated with the propaganda giving them high morale making them unbreakable

[TURTLESHROOM II]

Name of Army: Armed Forces of TurtleShroom (Army)
Skill: Storm Trooper (III)
Discipline: British (IX)
Morale: Fanatic (X)

Explanation:

No army can truly be ten out of ten in everything, but world-class discipline and naturally high morale are the successes of TurtleShroom. TurtleShroom's soldiers are expertly skilled and operate their weaponry and arms, etc. like extra limbs. Military discipline refers to the "state of order and obedience among soldiers and their ability to promptly and willingly respond and obey orders". TurtleShroomian devotion to the country as a shared idea of a TurtleShroomian Homeland (or Motherland) and the very state of being a TurtleShroomer are from what loyalty and devotion is derived from. TurtleShroomian soldiers, for all their faults, obey orders and do not break easily. During the Dark Harvest invasion of TurtleShroom, a tiny turtle hatchling (child) soldier- conscripted as a last resort -famously brought down a Future-Tech troop transport hovercraft by the act of surprise of being physically launched onto its hood and attacking the controls*.

Morale is high because TurtleShroomian cultivates a culture of patriotism, humility, and self-sacrifice from birth. A third of TurtleShroom's five hundred million humans are refugees that have become orders of magnitude wealthier (and more cared for) under their new homeland. These factors, along with a general polarization of extreme ideologies and religious devotion, create a fanatic fighting force.

There is one problem, of course: near Prussian-tier discipline and fanatic morale cannot win a war alone. TurtleShroom has won far more wars than it has lost, and only went to war once in the twentieth century.

International observers deem the TurtleShroomian Army to be more like "one giant militia with better weapons".
The problem is that the country's tactics, Second/Developing World status, and technological stagnation render them no more effective in defeating other nations than storm troopers. TurtleShroom has never won a war when fighting directly against the professional, standing army of another sovereign state. TurtleShroom's army and tactics were designed for TurtleShroomian soil for the purpose of fighting off raiders, bandits, and looters from the neighboring regions of Mackonia to the west, and the Terra Nullus Kitsunes and Nekomimis to the east.

For offensive and campaign warfare, TurtleShroom used and continues to use tactics it inherited from Mongoloid steppe nomads. The country only abandoned cavalry in 1933 AD and now, though fully mechanized, it continues to use technical trucks with machine gun mounts as neo-Tachankas for the same reasons a Mongolian horse archer used horses. Except with bullets.

Furthermore, TurtleShroom's Main Battle "Tank" for eighty years was not meant to fight against another army's tanks. It was considered an armored bunker meant to support infantry and was based on a bastardized maintenance of the A7V "Box Tank", with its technical flaws and instablility (not to mention being next to the engine) patched to run over mobsters and rebels. The instant they faced a tank for the first time in the War of Tsao Deliverance (called the "War of Red" by TS' enemies), the entire TurtleShroomian tank columns were eliminated with zero losses on the opposing side.

정의의 싸움이다 - Священная война (корейски)

Warfare in itself is simply an esoteric form of science. In order to understand, one must meticulously learn not just the basics of war but also the more-rigorous, technical side of warfare. If one wants to achieve victory before the enemy, one must not only understand and predict the enemy but also understand their own troops and their own skills. A commander must carefully and painstakingly calculate every more they and their enemy make on the battlefield. If a commander can rigorously analyze even the most miniscule detail on the battlefield, then surely one can methodically calculate each step they make in fulfilling an objective in the battlefield. The very fundamental mechanics of warfare is comparable to the quantum mechanics of the physical properties that make up nature itself, and if a theoretical physicist can understand the nature of physical existence in the material world then surely a skilled commander can understand the nature of warfare on the battlefield.

Name of Army: Zhouranese People's Army

Skill: 9-10/10 (active personnel); 8-9/10 (reserve personnel)

Discipline: 9-10/10 (active personnel); 8-9/10 (reserve personnel)

Morale: 10/10

Explanation: 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 NS$732.8 billion 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 14 - 18 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, Zhouran surpasses the US in both military industrial production and military digital technology. Thanks to Zhouran's meticulous & competitive technical-oriented national education, together with a strong technically-oriented academic emphasis on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics in Zhouranese academic discourse, and an emphasis on a highly-rigorous, highly-methodical, highly-competitive & meticulously-complex academic environment being popular characteristics of Zhouranese universities & military academies, Zhouranese weapons remain at the forefront of military technology. Zhouran has been the leading nation in designing and manufacturing semiconductors since the late 1960s and is the world's largest semiconductor producer, thus not only are Zhouranese digital military weaponry & equipment state-of-the-art but also fully-indigenous and extremely fool-proof.

The Zhouranese People's Army is outfitted with a highly-immense assortment of bleeding-edge fully-indigenous weapons & state-of-the-art technology that allows them to maintain a massive technological edge over opposing forces. Zhouranese weapons and equipment have 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.

Unlike many militaries of other nations, the Zhouranese People's Army has no official doctrine whatsoever. For Zhouranese military planners, they know warfare is fluid and not static, and given Zhouran's several millennia old history as well as the Zhouranese people's highly-impassioned warrior culture and fervid martial-ethos, the Zhouranese have a very-meticulous and methodical view on military warfare the same way they view science & technology. For Zhouranese military planners, they know war is situational and thus not every war is fought the same, especially when factoring things such as geography, enemy types, technology, etcetera, instead their emphasis heavily-leans towards flexibility and adaptability. While the ZPA may not follow any official doctrines, the military mindset is Maximum Combined-Arms Full-Spectrum Dominance over enemy forces, through the heavy utilization of devastating firepower, bleeding-edge hyper-advanced technology, and battle-hardened highly-experienced well-trained personnel. 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. Thanks to its numerous assortment of powerful highly-advanced weapons and cutting-edge technology, the Zhouranese People's Army is capable of inflicting overwhelming destruction on enemy forces and dominate over any battlefield. Meanwhile, 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. Thanks to rigorously-methodical military training and meticulously-complex military education, Zhouranese military personnel are trained as highly-skilled highly-efficient warfighter capable of executing any mission with very-high proficiency and accurately calculate every move made by the opposing forces.

The ZPA uses numerous 100% indigenous made-in-Zhouran weaponry that fills up their entire inventory. 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, 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 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).

In terms of armored vehicles, the ZPA Ground Force has a diverse line-up of various armored vehicles, with main battle tanks being the main centerpiece. The Zhouranese operate the most advanced tanks on earth as well as the largest fleet of armored vehicles in total. In the early 1960s, the Zhouranese became the first in the world to operate main battle tanks with thick composite armor for superior protection, powerful fire-control system for long-range firing on enemy targets, a large fully-stabilized 120mm rifled gun for superior performance over 100mm and 105mm rifled guns, and a roof-mounted heavy machine gun that can be controlled from the inside which not only allows for usage without leaving the safety of the tank but also allowing tank commanders to visually-observe the battlefield. As a result, Zhouran's 2nd gen. MBTs such as the Type 63 main battle tank and Type 67 main battle tank were superior to all western tanks such as the American M60A1 and British Chieftain Mk. 2/3/5 in all aspects of firepower, protection, and fire-control systems, not to mention mobility too as these Zhouranese are much lighter than their western counterparts, are powered by highly-powerful liquid-cooled diesel engines, and utilize superior transmissions for superior mobility over western counterparts. Plus, in the early 1960s, the Zhouranese were also the first to widely utilize armour-piercing fin-stabilized discarding sabot (APFSDS) rounds, which meant that Zhouranese tanks could easily puncture the non-composite basic steel armor of western counterparts, and given that Zhouran's early 2nd gen. MBTs use thick composite armor that provides protection several times higher than that of basic steel armor, basically the presence of these early Zhouranese MBTs brought devastating destruction on the battlefield. As MBT technology grew, so did the evolution of Zhouranese MBTs. The end of the 1970s and the start of the 1980s saw the introduction of Zhouran's early 3rd gen. MBTs such as the Type 66-100 main battle tank and Type 82 main battle tank, featuring improved armor for increased protection, upgraded electronics, increased mobility, and the utilization of 125mm smoothbore guns that are fed via autoloader for reduced workload. With their superior armor, firepower and electronics, as well as the continued evolution of Zhouranese APFSDS, these tanks are fully-capable of eliminating emerging western tank designs at the time such as the M1/IP/A1 Abrams and Challenger 1 with little-to-no difficulty. Zhouranese MBT evolution continued on with the end of the 1980s and the beginning of the 1990s seeing the birth of Zhouran's mid 3rd gen. MBTs such as the Type 76-200 main battle tank and Type 89 main battle tank with significantly-increased performance for total dominance over foreign designs such as the M1A2, Leclerc and Challenger 2, followed by the appearance of Zhouran's late 3rd gen. MBTs throughout the 1990s such as the Type 93 main battle tank and Type 67-300 main battle tank, and the creation of Zhouran's enhanced 3rd gen. MBTs since the late 1990s and early 2000s such as the Type 64-500 main battle tank and Type 75-99 main battle tank. By the mid-to-late 2000s, Zhouranese tank evolution had quickly evolved to the 4th gen. designs such as the Type 06 main battle tank and Type 77-09 main battle tank, followed by the introduction of 5th gen. MBTs in the late 2000s to early 2010s such as the Type 07 main battle tank and Type 13 main battle tank, which are widely renowned for their unrivalled armor protection and their powerful bleeding-edge 140mm electrothermal-chemical smoothbore gun. Thanks to this impressive evolution, Zhouranese main battle tanks remain unmatched on the modern battlefield.

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. Regardless, Zhouranese fighter jets remain unsurpassed, their full-effective capabilities allowing them to fully-dominate over friendly- and enemy-skies with little-to-no difficulty whatsoever. To go along with Zhouranese powerful fighter jets are bleeding-edge within-visual-range and beyond-visual-range air-to-air missiles that surpass all foreign peers. Not only do these AAMs have superior flight performances over their foreign counterparts but they also feature highly-sophisticated powerful electronic sensors that are unrivalled, thus allowing Zhouranese AAMs to remain highly-resistant to even the most advanced radar and infrared countermeasures fielded by foreign militaries.

Moving on 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. Since the mid-to-late 1960s, the Zhouranese were the first to heavily utilize guided-missile destroyers armed-to-the-teeth with anti-ship, anti-air and anti-sub weaponries, fitted with highly-sophisticated radars, and powered by powerful gas-turbines, with examples including the Type 1965 Douzheng-class DDG, Type 1968 Kelian-class DDG and Type 1968 Taifeng-class DDG, these designs being more superior to their foreign counterparts such as the Spruance-class destroyers and Kidd-class destroyers.

The highly-experienced and battle-hardened Zhouranese People's Army is renowned for its rigorously-methodical military training and meticulously-complex military education. 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. While having a large number of battle-experienced personnel and highly-sophisticated weaponry is important for military power, another important element to the ZPA's military power would be military training and education.

Enlistees must undergo six months of highly-demanding basic-training followed by nine months of highly-stringent specialist-training. A notable peculiarity of Zhouranese enlistee training is rooted in Zhouran's highly-impassioned warrior culture and fervid martial-ethos that prefers initiative over obedience. As a result, Zhouran's rigorously-methodical military training for enlistees is strongly influenced by the nation's passionate and intense warrior culture, which was created in 7 BC during the birth of the Silin Dynasty, and is unique compared to other countries' basic training, thus allowing for the efficient maximization of each individual soldier's skills and talents. Rather than "breaking" the personality of new recruits through intimidation and aggression, the Zhouranese seek to "mold" a recruit's personality into that of the ideal "Tongyehanke warrior" in the hope of producing highly-proficient, skilful and adept soldiers with stronger personalities and more individual initiative, thus turning each enlistee into a highly-skilled highly-efficient warfighter capable of executing any mission with very-high proficiency.

Recruits are closely and carefully trained by a drill instructor. Unlike other drill instructors from foreign militaries, a Zhouranese drill instructor is a junior officer who is assigned to the duty of indoctrinating new recruits entering the military into the customs and practices of life in the barracks. Drill instructors are held responsible for the welfare, behavior, and military education of the recruits assigned to them on a 24-hour basis throughout the period of initial training. Responsibilities include areas such as military discipline, physical fitness, and weapons training. A junior officer can only be a drill instructor after successfully completing a training course at a military academy.

With Zhouran's meticulously-complex military education, becoming a commissioned officer is an even more-formidable commitment. 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 academy education system, which was created in late 1862, officer cadets who graduate and become commissioned officers receive education comparable to that of a Specialist degree (above Master's but below Doctorate) in the Zhouranese academic degree system (which dates back to the establishment of the Zhouranese higher-education system in early 1861). 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.

Given the nature of Zhouran's highly-rigorous highly-competitive technical-oriented national education that is globally unrivalled, Zhouranese commissioned officers are commonly referred to as "Walking Calculators" and "Biological Computers".

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.

Manpower is relatively average for a nation of our size, and right now we've had like about 20-30 years to train? To me that still is young, somewhat like cat years young. Still hoping we refine our skills, be somewhat competent. It won't be so easy next time being caught off-guard.

[The Imperial Commonwealth of Russia]

Name of Army: Российская императорская армия (Imperial Russian Army)
Skill: 6/10
Discipline: 7/10
Morale: 6/10 (If it's a normal enemy) / 7/10 (if it's an historical rival, eg. the Germans)
Explanation: In Skill, if this was pre-WW2, we would have answered 4. But afterwards, the German "blitzkrieg" inspired our generals and field marshals to focus more on motorized warfare rather than mass infantry. A buildup of tanks and vehicles for the army would commence, and a reduction of armed forces would be funneled into more harsh training, leading to more skilled infantry.

In discipline, the harsh training and the reduction of the army of course helped into focusing on discipline and skill instead of the size of the army.

In morale, we tend to get family members and known friends in the same division in order to boost morale. We are also trying to perfect the science of emotion and philosophy, in order to create a more content population and of course, a happier army.

[The Disorder]

Name of Army:
Disorder Fleet

Skill:
9/10
The Disorder's extremist emphasis on technological superiority produces some truly nightmarish warriors. The concept of not wreathing oneself in at least several metric tons of machinery is completely abhorrent to them. Even if they have to eject from their mechs, hovertanks, or space warships, they're still going to be wearing powered exoskeletons that can fly, equipped with energy shields, BFG's, and cloaking devices. Disorder units are not completely invincible in combat, but they try their damned best.

Discipline:
3/10
The Disorder might have some of the very best command & control available, in the form of hyperspace telepathy. But it isn't used to its fullest potential: They're all anarchists. Order is the enemy they intend to obliterate from existence, so they actually take great pride in the disorganization that stems from total autonomy. They take orders from no one - ever. Occasionally pilots will coalesce together into squadrons & share objectives, but combat units consisting of more than one person are brief and fleeting even in the best of circumstances. When a few anarchists do coincidentally happen to cooperate on the battlefield, they can be positively devastating. Inherently though, this is a military that has abolished the chain of command, and regards heirarchy as an existential cancer.

Morale:
8/10
Disorder agents wage war, largely for the sheer thrill of inciting physical destruction. They are not interested in conquest, dominance, or peace, and generally believe that waging war for these aims is an irredemable sin. They believe that purging order from the universe is good for literally everything that will ever exist. Although they are not entirely undeterrable, they are utterly and unflinchingly ruthless, prepared to go to nearly any end to secure victory for the good of all chaos. Cloning technology offers limited immortality, so 'death' amounts to simply spending a clone - although the procedure is imperfect and will eventually cause soul-degeneration in the long run.

[Yeet Nationss]

Name of the Army: YNAF (Yeet Nationss Armed Forces)
Skill Level: 9/10
Discipline: 7/10
Morale: 9/10
Explanation:We conscript starting at the age of 20 and before that age citizens are rushed with propaganda and are prepared to join the military. Training is tough for infantry, marine, and Recon but our Army knows its for Yeet Nationss and will do whatever to serve their country. Our nation is a military state and a strong one. Our military is both experienced and deadly

[Grussland]

Name of Army: Das Heer (lit. "The Army")
Skill: 4/10
Discipline: 8/10
Morale: 8/10
Explanation: Although the army is very well coordinated with great discipline, camaraderie, and morale, the training and equipment regimens are behind the times. There is great investment in the discipline and morale of the armed forces, with good food, drink, and socialization and officers have many perks. All members of the armed forces undergo some form of indoctrination to shore up pride, purpose, and the importance of their roles and jobs. However, the basic training is still rooted in older 20th century principles and concepts with equipment that is certainly less than state of the art.

[Bigpipstan]

Name of Army: imperial army
Skill: 7/10
Discipline: 5/10
Morale: 6/10
Explanation: We don't see soldiers as expendable, as such we employ tactics that don't rely on numbers. It is preferable to send few soldiers with expensive equipment then lot with OK equipment.(These scores are the averages of the soldiers in the anocratic empire). As people with pacifist traditions, we don't have more then average discipline.

[Aknuliv]

Name of Army: Pejuang Utama Aknuliw (PUA)
Skill: 8/10 Napoleonic
Discipline: 7/10 Comrades
Morale: 9/10 Jingoistic
Explanation: PUA is a well trained military group and a grand power of Aknuliv. Their patriotism and fanaticism of Aknuliv make them dare to fight for what they believe in. In PUA, there is no seniority-juniority, only a group of comrades that train and fight together for the glory of Aknuliv. Its an independent group, without hierarchy and commando chains. Anyone can be a leader/captain/general in time. The only highest and permanent rank in PUA is Perwakilan Pejuang Utama (Peratama) that equals to a commander

Name of Army: Legiun Loyalis (LL)
Skill: 10/10 Carolean
Discipline: 8/10 Combined Arms
Morale: 10/10 Fanatical
Explanation: Legiun Loyalis or LL is Aknulivian special elite division units that move under Master Anku directly. Even they often called as Master Anku's Beast Units. Legiun Loyalis are known for their fanatism of Master Anku. All the LL members were sworn to always loyal to Aknuliv and especially to Master Anku to their death. Lekhsus were trained and keep upgraded to be a super soldier and special force. Most of Legiun Loyalis members execute a varied secret mission and special tasks that given by Master Anku himself. Even some of the greatest amongst them are placed besides Master Anku as his loyal bodyguard or assistant

[Gonswanza]

Name of Army: Gonswanzan Regional Military (Army/Navy/Air Force/Marines)
Skill: 7
Discipline: 8
Morale: 9
Explanation:

Given high patriotism, praise for their leader and at times a spiritual connection to their lands, the infantry themselves are seemingly perfect model patriots. However, they are not without fault, given some rather poor decisions made in regards to defense even if it did help to push the arms industry at the expense of quality. Alas, mandatory service helps to offset the mild hindrance while also strengthening patriotism to almost jingoistic levels. Furthering this, the high confidence and trust in a defensive doctrine and policies calling for limited presence in foreign conflicts almost adds to the illusion of Gonswanza being an impenetrable fortress. This is paired to a restructured military complex that actively supports technological advances and even welcomes a new form of fighting conflicts remotely without the need to dump excessive resources for little to no gain. But alas, should the time come for a more proper war to be fought, the military will step up to the plate and offer an unyielding iron fist in an attempt to destroy the enemy or cripple them enough for an ally to sweep in and finish the job.

[Mainistan]

Name of Army: Mainistan Armed Forces (MAF), National Protection Corps (NPC)
Skill: 7
Discipline: 7
Morale: 6

[The Greater Russian Domain]

Name of Army: Imperial Russian Armed Forces
Skill: 7
Discipline: 9
Morale: 7
Explanation: The Imperial Russian Armed Forces is a modern fighting force. While theoretically conscription still is law in the Russian Empire, the usual level of volunteers results in few if any men conscripted by legal force in any given draft class, and of those volunteers, most have pre-training from organizations of Kadety (JROTC-like programs), which makes them more receptive to the full battery of true military training.

Russian Military Doctrine in the 20th Century became increasingly based on combined arms (especially as the air force came into prominence). There have been additional updates based on increasing discipline throughout the subsequent decades.

Morale is generally quite high, and weather and terrain training means that such things will have less effect on morale than the average army. For the right war, morale may raise to a level higher than 7 situationally, however, the general army is not entirely fanatical, nor bound by codes of surrender/retreat being impermissible across any contexts, so the baseline is generally set at 7.

[The African Emirates]

Name of Army:Emiratian Assimilation Task Force
Skill: 10/10
Discipline: 9.5/10
Morale: 10/10
Explanation:

Any Emiratian consciousness participating in an Assimilation Task Force unit will be equipped with the combined military knowledge of millions of civilization previously taken over, so each unit has the prowess of a hardened and hyper-strategizing commander. Additionally, due to their nature as being machines, they are completely without pain or sadness programmed in; instead they possess damage indicators. Thus, any task force member is unable to lose morale, as they never needed any in the first place.

The only drawback of this arrangement is the many arguments between different units on the field over which tactic to use, as each unit is a near-perfect strategist and they may have differing activities. Fortunately, the arguments usually only last several milliseconds, and since a disconnected unit can still function with unparalleled prowess, this arrangement is worth the occasional conflict.

[Ausslaugand]

Name of Army: AP (Afdeling Padvinders)
Skill: 10 / 10
Discipline: 10 / 10
Morale: 3 / 10
Explanation: The AP - or simply known as the Pathfinders - is a directorate tasked with information and electronic defenses and surveillance. Tracing its origins to the Anglo-Dutch (now British) Directorate of Military Intelligence, it was once a small office of ten Oxford-educated investigators. Its existence denied by the Ausslaugandian government, even the president has no knowledge of its existence, although it is always indirectly and euphemistically referred unbeknownst to him/her.

Behind the closed doors and beyond trivial documentations, the Pathfinders are an organisation of approximately 10,000 staffers, their identities and backgrounds kept top secret. Their mission is surveillance and intelligence gathering operations, particularly SIGINT, CYBNIT, CULTINT, FININT, MARKINT, OSINT, and TECHINT. They are also responsible for the president's safety and integrity, which they conduct independently and invisibly at all times.

Though the largest, albeit most secretive, branch of the Talkstaff, the Pathfinders are pacifist like their brethren, both by training and extensive pre-recruitment screening and evaluation. They are seldom armed with any weapons, the greatest being tasers, stun guns, and flashbangs. Though they were once armed with pistols prior to the 21st century, the Pathfinders are analysts and detectives than peacemaker or peacekeeper - they always ask first and shoot later (or never in almost every case).

It is this extremely restrained and peaceful mindset that separates the Pathfinders from other espionage organisations. For instance, while they are no strangers to interrogations, it is considered the very last option on the Pathfinders’ minds. Indirectness and subtly are the Pathfinders’ forté, if not one of their unwritten tenets - direct confrontations (i.e. interrogations) are both a failure to stealth and irreparable destruction of anyone’s sense of privacy. Staying out of sight, out of mind, and out of existence overrules and dictates every operation - they are completely invisible to everyone even other agencies.

Name of Army: VAB (Verzenden Arrestern Beschermen)
Skill: 10 / 10
Discipline: 10 / 10
Morale: 5 / 10
Explanation: The VABs are the elite police tactical units of the Ausslaugandian Troopstaffs. Its mission includes counterterrorism, hostage rescue, high-risk arrest warrants, kidnappings, sieges, raids, and direct action. Informally, it is the most aggressive department, trained and organised for swift and mobile missions; however, the VAB can only operate within national jurisdiction. Operations beyond the Republic of Ausslaugand require the foreign nation's consent (i.e. rescue of an Ausslaugandian citizen in a foreign country).

The VABs traces half its origins to the Anglo-Dutch (now British) SAS, where the first operatives were former paratroopers and marines. After the Second World War (1941-1947) - aka the Pacific War - and the beginning of the Cold War era (1949-2001), all further members of the VABs were either civilian or from law enforcement backgrounds. One of the VABs’ original, and oldest, roles was providing internal security within Ausslaugandian jurisdictions, including hospital ships, sporting events, embassies, etc. Excluding Ausslaugand itself, the VABs first saw action in Iran and India, where government offices were under surveillance of a foreign power, specifically Japanese and communist spies/saboteurs. The VABs were also involved in the 1972 Munich Massacre, where, working closely with the German SS and Iranian SAVAK, they investigated, located, and rescued all the hostages; however, four SS, one SAVAK, and nine VAB operatives were killed in the ensuing rescue operation.

There are ten subdepartments, which goes as followed:

• VAB-1 (Hostages)
• VAB-2 (Sieges)
• VAB-3 (Raids)
• VAB-4 (Explosives)
• VAB-5 (Larceny)
• VAB-6 (Evasions)
• VAB-7 (Finances)
• VAB-8 (Media)
• VAB-9 (Cybercrimes)
• VAB-X (Treason)

Despite its fearsome and dangerous reputation, the VABs are rarely involved in gunfights. Though they perpetually learn and train with exhausting live simulations and combat exercises, the most firepower that the VABs wield are nothing more than SMGs, PDWs, and nonlethal grenades (i.e. flashbangs, smoke, etc). While they do carry tactical shields (pistols included), only a few selected, albeit most experienced, squads could wield them. Most interestingly, however, their mentality is largely indifferent from their Talkstaff counterparts; a deep respect and concern for the sanctity of life and collective well-being. In fact, all VAB units are only allowed one full magazine, which is solely for their weapon itself (no spares whatsoever) - a practice promoting ammunition conservation, stellar discipline, and marksmanship. Whenever a gunfight ensues, headshots are completely off-limits, with everyone restricted to the limbs or, at the absolute worst, the torso.

[New Agraya]

Name of Army: The Revolutionary People's Defense Force (R.P.D.F)
Skill: Professional
Discipline: Comrades
Morale: Fierce
Explanation: The main military force of New Agraya is relatively small and are meant mostly for defense purposes. Our country is just a couple decades fresh from Revolution and Civil War, so assault or invasion is on the very bottom of the list. However, these men and women are extremely committed to our political cause and are the sons and daughters of people who fought to liberate us from The Empire and build our Socialist State. Our terrain is confusing and treacherous, so in any foreign invasion they will have a distinct advantage. R.P.D.F History and Junk

[Reorganized Portugal]

Name of Army: Portuguese Armed Forces
Skill: 6/10
Discipline: 6/10
Morale: 6/10
Explanation: Portuguese soldiers go through mostly training regiments during times of peace, which has been since 1999, so they are better trained than many other armies. As early as 2000, you could rate the army at 9/10 after their shocking defeat over China in the Macau War, but since then skill has declined. For discipline, soldiers will communicate effectively and are well organized, getting along with their fellow soldiers. Portuguese troops are (mostly) proud to serve and defend the Fatherland from foreign threats, and thanks to the better food quality, they can keep it up as well.

[The Orwell Society]

Name of Army: The Orwellian Armed Forces
Skill: 7/10
Discipline: 5/10
Morale: 6/10
Explanation: The Orwellian Armed Forces are not your average, everday army. They are mercilessly trained to be as skilled, strong, and coordinated as possible. While they do not show personal bonding with each other, they will give their lives in the name of Big Brother.
