Kanian Defense Forces

The Kanian Defense Forces are the military forces of the Republic of Kania, tasked with protecting Kania's national sovereignty and its citizens from external threats. The KDF consists of three branches; the Army, Navy, and Air Force. The President of Kania is the sole commander-in-chief of the military, and is the only person allowed to declare war or peace in the government. He is aided in his running of the military by the Department of Defense, which is lead by the Secretary of Defense. Both the President and the Secretary of Defense are advised by the Kanian Defense Council, which is directed by the Head Chief of Staff.

The KDF has a long history of service to the country, and fought numerous battles aimed at protecting the integrity of Kanian independence from larger, more powerful foes. The Kanians dogged determination to resist the control of Britain, the United States, and Canada resulted in the development of the military as an intergral part of Kanian society. However, civilian control of the military has long been the norm, and only military commanders who have retired from their service have been allowed to pursue the presidency. The military has made it very clear though that any of its personnel that attempt to use force to take the government will be dealt with swiftly.

The Kanian government allocated 2.7% of the national GDP, or $25.384 billion (₭17.374 billion) to the military budget. The KDF numbers 57,113 active personnel, with another 171,339 in reserve. Despite the military's small size, the military budget in proportion to the size of the force its supporting, has allowed the KDF to purchase and equip only the best weapons and technologies the world has to offer. Also, the military's expertise has provided Kania with considerable power projection, allowing Kania to serve as a military player in joint international military operations.
