For national defense, we prefer a standing army composed of trained, background-checked volunteers instead of rifle-toting rubes.

That's not to say we couldn't conceivably fall back on an armed citizenry in case SHTF.

you are to find whatever you can use to arm yourself knife,gun,bow,stein,etc.
improvised weaponry is also accepted.
but you need a rallying cry to be a combined force instead of an untrained rabble.

Although the national guard are used in place of a militia, residents are encouraged to own and maintain at least 1 rifle, semi-automatic or bolt action.

we do not have a militia specifically but military service is required for at least 2 years and most of our citizens own a firearm of some kind. so if war touches our soil we can take care of ourselves

Militias make up a large part of TVCOM's national defence, as it mantains a rather small standing army in peacetime.

There are a number of militia in Keduk. Corporations, unions, political parties, communes and local governments all maintain their own militias, as do other citizen groups if they so wish. Some militias are licensed under the Planetary Defence Force, while others operate outside of this command structure. The single largest militia is the PPA (Planetary People's Army) which is the armed wing of the PUM (Planetary Union Movement), a massive trade union group representing workers in hundreds of different fields. The PPA operates outside of the PDF although it would probably be prepared to resist an invasion should one occur.

In the Federal Republic of Munster after a citizen has finished his conscription he is given an assault rifle currently C8/C4 carbines but these are being replaced by HK416's after which he serves a compulsory 12 years in the reserves where the must qualify biannually on their weapon system and meet once a month for maneuvers. One the 12 years is completed they often join a local organized militia.

As Hircines try to see a larger picture in the maintaining of a civil society. The Hircus Civil Defense Corps supports the Hircus Defense Force and Star Command. The HCDC will allow any citizens who volunteers , No matter the age to volunteer in any way they are capable. If it is to volunteer to spend time with disabled veterans or to help distribute needed supplies in case of natural disaster. More and More younger people are becoming part of the HDF-Star Command and the Tak'hasor (Space Marine) because of its important roles of in the galaxy.

"...and as standing armies in the time of peace are dangerous to liberty, they ought not to be kept up..."

That phrase does appear in the Mesogirian Constitution, and though we are forced by international circumstance to maintain large standing armies, the principal in one held dear in our country.

All citizens, of sufficient age and physical ability, have the right to serve in their locally-accredited unit of the National Militia, or independent State Militia, provided they can maintain good service reports during training sessions (typically one weekend a month), and during the mandatory two-weeks annual qualification at a regular army base, the largest of which is Fort Resolute, hosting more than 500,000 militiamen and women in total each year.

After compulsory 18 months service, all servicemen have the option of keeping their weapon. The vast majority do so, with many also joining the Military Comrades Association, an extra-parliamentary force that could be somewhat compared to militia. They are often called upon for training exercises involving the Permanent Armed Forces and the Reserve Armed Forces, security details and other militant-security focused roles unavailable to the Armed Forces.
Indeed, the Reserve Forces themselves could be regarded as militia.

The only militia/paramilitary force which comes close to that definition in Costa Fiero is the Policía Militar, which is a 65,500 strong force of civilians trained by the military to act as some form of gendarmerie and to maintain law and order in rural areas where normal police forces would be overstretched.

There are no militias, unless you count the small armies raised by the nobles, but they are always considered to be part of the Imperial and Royal army. So technically there are no militias, just Imperial and Royal Military.

Vigilanteism and mercenary forces are illegal. Militia are generally grouped as both.

Mandatory firearms ownership for all mentally stable citizens.
Most mountain coal-mining and farming towns have some form of armed militia.
Cities have a national religious police functioning like an American version of the Iranian Basij Corps.

No standing army or mass militia. Instead a levy from the tribes is conducted. Each tribe is responsible for choosing 5% of their male population between the ages of 17 and 23 to serve as the levy. We have a warrior class for a reason.

Our younger citizens are heavily encouraged to join our popular youth movement, the Zande Warrior Society. It's basically a well regulated patriotic militia and political activist group.
