= Military =

Kristonion’s military is made up of the Army, the Air Force, the Special Forces, and the Border Guards. Unlike many nations, military service is not compulsory at any age and drafts are only held in times of anarchy. The nation spends around 20% of it’s budget on the military.

The Army’s main purpose is to serve as the land force of Kristonion. They are in charge of the infantry, artillery, and armored divisions. They are also the main offensive and defensive group in wars. During peacetime they join the Border Guards.

The Air Force’s main purpose is to defend the Kristonion airspace from hostile attack during war. The Air Force is rarely used offensively in wars, and because of this, the Air Force is small and inactive. The Air Force went offensive for the first time during the Second Great War, but did not prove efficient.

The Special Forces main purpose is to take care of special missions that are not possible by the Army. The SF’s usually during wartime sneak behind enemy lines and weaken enemy defenses to help the Army break through. Also the SF is used by the Kristonion Intelligence Agency (KIA). The first time they were used this way was on January 19th when the Kristonion citizens were taken hostage by a neighboring country. It was the SF’s who rescued them. Also when the German-Greek Conflict occurred, the SF were there to fight.

The Border Guards’ main purpose is to protect Kristonion’s borders. They are equipped just like the Army and have orders to shoot anyone who crosses into Kristonion illegally. During peacetime the border is more protected then usual due to the Army’s forces being present. Also the BG’s work to defend the border from drug smugglers who are not welcome in Kristonion.
