The Timbian Armed Forces act as the official constitutional military for the Republic of Timbia and were officially constituted into their present form in 1921. The force describes itself as mostly defensive, and is known for its rather timid ground forces compared to a strong naval force. The Timbian Armed Forces are led by Timbia's National Defense Council, a nine seat council with three representatives from each service branch. The military is fully integrated with all positions open to both men and women given they meet internal standards, and has been since 1967. | The Timbian Armed Forces act as the official constitutional military for the Republic of Timbia and were officially constituted into their present form in 1921. The force describes itself as mostly defensive, and is known for its rather timid ground forces compared to a strong naval force. The Timbian Armed Forces are led by Timbia's National Defense Council, a nine seat council with three representatives from each service branch. The military is fully integrated with all positions open to both men and women given they meet internal standards, and has been since 1967. The Timbian Armed Forces rely on a number of international suppliers for many of its weapons and vehicles, while also producing some of these on license; some of Timbia's military suppliers are [[Arcerion]], [[Daxia]] and [[Burgundie]]. The Timbian navy has become mostly self sufficient in the production of its own surface vessels and submarines, product of a concerted effort to create a naval force that can project power in the [[Ocean of Cathay]] and defend Timbia's critical sea lanes to other continents and its fishing waters from threats that may arise. Timbia is also a member of the [[League of Nations]] in good standing and as such has contributed to some of its peacekeeping missions, Timbia provided logistical naval support to League forces during the war in [[Varshan]] and Timbian peacekeepers operated under [[Daxia]]n command in northeastern [[Varshan]] after the war. | ||
