Military Knowledge -
The most impressive thing is the amount of citizens who are enlisted there is currently 10,000,000 active duty. We do have a mandatory enlistment for when we go to war which makes you serve a minimum of one year in the armed forces as active duty. You will only be selected if you are 18 years or older.(Not everyone is forced to enlist during mandatory enlistment about half of the registered 18 year old and up males are selected.)

Reserve units are citizens who do not wish to intake upon normal military life and will only go out for war there is estimated 800,000 reserve units ready to fight at any time.

[OOC: 10 million troopers for a nation with around 250 million? That's nearly four per cent of your population, and that will kill your economy. Your defence budget is a little over 50 billion, which is less than one tenth of the American military budget, and the US of A only has 1 million recruited men during wartime! Your nation's economy will plummet into the depths of the Earth based on your military spending.]
