Our rank structure, which can be seen here, mainly resembles that of the United States Armed Forces for the most part, though the rank "Lancer" exists in the Republican Air Force and the Planetary Defence Forces, the former utilizing the rank as a replacement for Master Sergeant and the latter as a rank in both enlisted and commissioned officers. Meanwhile, the PDF utilizes a series of ranks that differ from most armed forces, including the removal of Brigadier General and Major General as ranks. Such can be noted in the rank list below:

2. Private First Class (PFC.)
3. Lancer-Specialist (L. Spc.)
4. Lancer (Lcr.)
5. Lancer-Sergeant (L. Sgt.)
6. First Lancer-Sergeant(1L. Sgt.)
7. Lancer Sergeant-Specialist (L. Sgt. Spc.)
8. Lancer Sergeant-Captain (L. Sgt. Cpt.)
9. Lancer Sergeant-Major (L. Sgt. Maj.)
10. Lancer Sergeant-Major of the PDF (L. Sgt. Maj. PDF)

Planetary Defence Forces: commissioned officers:
1. Lieutenant, 2nd Class (Lt. 2dC.)
2. Lieutenant, 1st Class (Lt. 1sC.)
3. Captain (Cpt.)
4. Lancer-Captain (L. Cpt.)
5. Major (Maj.)
6. Lieutenant Colonel (Lt. Col.)
7. Colonel (Col.)

Planetary Defence Forces: flag officers:

Alas for the bright cup! Alas for the mailed warrior!
Alas for the splendour of the prince!

Army

Soldier-commands noone, no insignia. Technically in a battle situation with no officers or NCOs still living a brave soldier can try and lead the men on.
Senior Soldier-commands three fire teams each of four soldiers with AK 47s, grenades and bayonets and one soldier with the above weaponry and an RPG, or an anti-tank gun, the equivalent in most militaries of a sergeant.
Sarge-commands thirty men, the equivalent in most militaries of a lieutenant or a captain.
Sargent Major-commands up to 120 men plus a few NCOs, the equivalent in most militaries of a captain or a major.
Sargent Major General-the most senior NCO in the army.

All ranks from Soldier to Sargent Major go up through time-in-grade, the earning of any special rewards, and the like. There is only one Sargent Major-General. Officers are few and rarely seen, and outside wartime are mainly the gentry or nobility who brought their ranks, (although promotion without paying for it is normal in wartime and can happen in peacetime) but the NCOs from Senior Soldier up are very close to their men.


Decurion-commands 500 men, the equivalent in most militaries of a major or a lieutenant colonel,
Senior Decurion-commands 1000 men, the equivalent in most militaries of a lieutenant colonel or a colonel.
Centurion-commands 10,000 men, the equivalent in most militaries of a brigadier-general or a major general
Senior Centurion-commands 50,000 men, the equivalent in most militaries of a lieutenant general
Deputy Legate-commands 100,000 men, the equivalent in most militaries of a full general or even higher in rank.
Legate-commands the whole Army. There is only one Legate, the equivalent in most militaries of a field marshal or a generalissimo. The only one who outranks him is the Mayor.


Navy

Seaman
Senior Seaman
Midshipman
Senior Midshipman
Warrant Officer-Admiral.

All ranks from Seaman to Senior Midshipman go up through time-in-grade, the earning of any special rewards, and the like. There is only one Warrant Officer-Admiral. Officers are few and rarely seen, and outside wartime are mainly the gentry or nobility who brought their ranks, (although promotion without paying for it is normal in wartime and can happen in peacetime) but the NCOs from Senior Seaman up are very close to their men.

Lieutenant-commands a small ship
Captain-commands a large ship
Rear Admiral-commands a squadron of ships
Vice Admiral-commands
Admiral-commands a fleet of ships

Crucilandian military ranks are distinguished by the color of the soldier's visor, the lowest being blue and the highest being red. Crucilandians employed in the service of "Taagiyd L'chiymah Shiput" (Hebrew for "Martial Judgement Corporation," the name of the subsidized private military monopoly that furnishes Cruciland's security) are distinguished out of their armor by the pale color of their auras, which shift in hue to match their rank instead of their personality type. Going from lowest to highest-ranked, this is Cruciland's military hierarchy...

Tat-Abiyr (Under-Knight) (functional equivalent of "Private")
Meal-Abiyr (Over-Knight) (functional equivalent of "Private First-Class")

Tat-Tzal'van (Under-Crusader) (functional equivalent of "Corporal")

The Royal Atlantean Armed Forces use a rank system inspired by the military ranks of the UK and the US. As a member of NATO, it also uses the NATO ranking system to denote equivalent ranks.

OF-10 (6-star) - Generalisimos (Generalissimo) - This rank is reserved only for the Queen, who is the Commander-in-Chief
OF-10 (5-star) - General Itaron (Champion General) - This rank is an honorary/wartime rank at the Queen's discretion; otherwise, it is given to the Lord Regent, who is the deputy Commander-in-Chief. In wartime, holders of this rank would command an army group; otherwise, they would, most, if not all of the time, be Chiefs of Staff.
OF-9 - General - This rank is normally the highest rank attainable in peacetime through normal means, barring recommendation for promotion by the Queen herself. Holders of this rank are Chiefs of Staff or hold major commands in the Royal Atlantean Army (or, if expanded due to a major war, a field army, though, nonetheless, this is likely still a major command).
OF-8 - General Liklat (Lieutenant General) - Holders of this rank command corps.
OF-7 - General Aukilari (Auxiliary General) - Holders of this rank command divisions.
OF-6 - Brigadar (Brigadier) - Holders of this rank command brigades.
OF-5 - Kolonel (Colonel) - Holders of this rank usually hold no command (except for certain units), but are usually subordinates, usually as auxiliary commanders, to brigadiers.
OF-4 - Kolonel Liklat (Lieutenant Colonel) - Holders of this rank command battalions.
OF-3 - Marskal (Marshal) - Holders of this rank command companies.
OF-2 - Kaptan (Captain) - Holders of this rank are subordinates, usually second-in-command, to marshals.
OF-1(A) - Liklat (Lieutenant) - Holders of this rank command platoons.
OF-1(B) - Liklat Aukilari (Auxiliary Lieutenant) - Holders of this rank command platoons, although they are trying to get used to their job.
Officer Student/OF(D) - Optis Ofikari (Officer Cadet) - Holders of this rank are training to become commissioned officers.

WO-5 - Ofikari Aukilari Kapis (Chief Auxiliary Officer) - Holders of this rank usually are the warrant officer-in-charge of division, corps and major commands.
WO-4 - Ofikari Aukilari Maitar (Master Auxiliary Officer) - Holders of this rank usually are the warrant officer-in-charge of battalion and brigade commands; otherwise, they also handle technical and tactical duties in division, corps and major commands.

Uses certain NS stats.

Atlantis is an MT nation that is the third richest country in the world, behind only China and the United States. It is closer to the USA, UK, Italy and Spain (in that order, though Italy and Spain is probably tied) culturally than it is Greece. It is also a naval power.

And no, Atlantis is not underwater: It has a land area around the size of France.

Pros: Classical liberalism, democracy, the West, Brexit, Viktor Orban, free education, strong military
Cons: Authoritarianism, fascism, communism, multiculturalism, Islamism
