       Guards of the Hirilian Realm
       •
       enforces compulsory military service and maintains an extensive
       military industrial complex. Hirilia is still not a nuclear
       power, however there are forces within the parliament and the
       military that push Hirilia towards developing nuclear armaments
       despite the governing body’s insistence on an anti-nuclear
       arsenal. The Hirilian military bases have a standard setup in
       the east but to the west, exhausted mines and land are sold back
       to the government and the mines are expanded into elaborate and
       highly prized subterranean military bases. This includes most
       army and air force bases. With a population of 16 million
       Hirilians all of them, men and women, serve in the armed for a
       minimum of 2 years after turning 18. It is then up to them
       whether they would rather remain or if they would prefer to
       exit. Currently, the Hirilian military is comprised of 500,000
       professional soldiers and officers with an additional 75,000
       currently in their mandatory 2 years of service.

       forces. It makes more than 50% of the Armed Forces. With bases
       throughout the nation the Army has the second largest budget in
       the Armed Forces and is the parent branch to the Hirilian Strike
       Forces. With peaceful neighbors to the west and empty wasteland
       to its south and east the Hirilian Army is largely used for
       border patrol and often the training of the Hirilian Militia.

       - Special Forces
       The Special Forces comprise of only 5,000 – 7,000 individuals
       and are largely inactive. Most of the year they spend training
       for the day they are needed. They also serve a ceremonial
       purpose in many national rituals. \
       - Merchant Marine
       As Hirilia is a land locked nation and has no need for a Navy,
       it does not have one. However, it has a very small branch of the
       military in charge of protecting the ports and trading ship on
       the Snake and parts of the Columbia rivers. These are not
       military ships however the Merchant marines are armed and are
       knowledgeable on water-based combat
       - Hirilian Militia
       The Hirilia Militia is a special branch of the Hirilian Army

       forces within the nation. Most missions occurring in eastern
       Hirilia, the Hirilian Militia finds itself very well-funded and
       very well equipped. Most future Hirilian Special Forces units
       begin careers in the Hirilian Militia.
