The Aciriani Armed Forces (Aciriano: ''Forze Armate Aciriano''), formally known as the '''Imperial Armed Forces of Aciria''', are the armed forces of [[Aciria]].

The '''Aciriani Armed Forces''' (Aciriano: ''Forze Armate Aciriano''), formally known as the '''Imperial Armed Forces of Aciria''', are the armed forces of [[Aciria]]. The armed forces are made up of four branches; the [[Imperial Army Of Aciria|Imperial Army]], the [[Imperial Navy Of Aciria|Imperial Navy]], the [[Imperial Air Force Of Aciria|Imperial Air Force]], and the [[Polizia Amministrativa Imperiale|Imperial Administrative Police]], which functions as an autonomous branch of the Imperial Army. Even if seldom used outside of the PAI, the armed forces have as much civilian jurisdiction within Aciria as the official police force. The armed forces are lead by the Head of Imperial Defense, who is appointed by and subordinate only to the [[Emperor of Aciria]].

The Imperial Armed Forces ~~of Aciria trace its roots back to~~ the ~~establishment~~ of the [[Free Republic of Aciria]] ~~when it was called~~ the ~~Free Republican Army~~, ~~founded with~~ the ~~purpose~~ of ~~fending off potential attempts at reintegrating~~ Aciria ~~to its former overlord~~, ~~but was~~ mainly ~~used~~ to ~~pacify revolts~~ in the ~~region~~. ~~Formally founded~~ in ~~1785 following~~ the ~~establishment~~ of the ~~Grand Empire~~ of ~~Aciria after~~ [[~~Giovanni Montefeltro|Giovanni I~~]] ~~seized power~~ and ~~crowned himself Emperor. The Imperial Armed Forces are responsible for stability~~ of the ~~nation alongside fending off any threats against~~ the ~~sovereignty of~~ the ~~Grand Empire~~, ~~both domestic~~ and foreign~~. The Imperial Armed Forces are also able to provide relief support and humanitarian aid, but are seldom used for it~~.

The Imperial Armed Forces were born from the ashes of the [[Free Republic of Aciria|Free Republican Army]] following the reforms of [[Giovanni Montefeltro|Giovanni I]] in 1785, which established the Grand Army of the Empire. Due to the relative peace that has reigned in Aciria following the establishment of the empire, the army has been used mainly as a deterrent from foreign invasions, and to ensure domestic stability. The Second Great War is the most notable conflict the armed forces have taken a part in, which resulted in vast reforms in the ranks of the military after the war.

The mandatory conscription of every able-bodied man over the age of 18 has been in use since the Conscription Act of 1895. The armed forces have a unique place in Acirian culture due to its cultural and historical significance, alongside with providing citizens from lower classes a chance to rise in social status via a successful career in the military. The armed forces also has a notable influence on the economy of [[Aciria]], due to the Acirian policy of self-sufficiency, aiming to develop and manufacture as much as possible of the equipment used by the armed forces within Aciria. Following the Second Great War, [[Caphiria]] slowly became the biggest, and eventually only foreign supplier of military equipment into Aciria.

The ~~origin of the~~ Imperial Armed Forces can ~~be found in~~ the Free Republican Army, established ~~immediately~~ after the declaration of the Free Republic of Aciria by Silvano de Albairate. The ~~FRA~~ was in ~~no position~~ to ~~deter~~ foreign invasions ~~would one have presented itself~~ due to the ~~widespread~~ corruption~~, lack of morale~~, insubordination and incompetence, proven by the fact ~~it barely managed~~ to ~~pacify~~ revolts ~~in various regions of the country. Despite this, the FRA remained as the sole barrier between the sovereignty of Aciria and the invasion of a foreign power~~.

The Imperial Armed Forces can trace their roots back to the Free Republican Army, established shortly after the declaration of the [[Free Republic of Aciria]] by Silvano de Albairate. Albairate's formation of the army was met with backlash from the People's Senate due to fears that it would be seen as a sign of aggression, but Albairate saw it necessary to ensure the sovereignty of the new republic. The initial army was formed from ethnic [[Aciriani people|Aciriani]] legions and their supplies in the region, militias that sprouted up in the country in the unrest that followed the Acirian independence and volunteers from various social classes. Despite seeming like a capable fighting force, in reality the FRA would've likely been unable to fend off any major foreign invasions due to the corruption, insubordination and incompetence in its ranks, proven by the fact the FRA struggled to put down domestic revolts.

The FRA ~~remained~~ in such a state until 1783 ~~when Giovanni I took~~ the throne of Aciria and declared the ~~Grand~~ Empire of [[Aciria]]. As the Free Republic no longer ~~existed, the FRA seized~~ existing ~~too. For two years~~, the ~~internal stability~~ was ~~maintained~~ by the ~~respect~~ and ~~fear people had for the new Emperor, and local militias lead by former FRA officers loyal to Jean I. In 1785, Jean I declared~~ the Grand Army of the Empire, ~~reforming the defunct FRA into~~ the ~~earliest~~ branch of the Imperial Armed Forces. ~~Through relentless drills~~, expanded trade ~~and disciplinary action~~, the ~~Grand Army~~ of the ~~Empire quickly~~ was ~~transformed~~ to ~~a modern~~ army ~~which was a force~~ to ~~be reckoned with~~.

The FRA stayed in such a state until 1783 seized the throne of Aciria and declared the formation of the Empire of Aciria. With the Free Republic no longer existing, the Free Republic was quickly disbanded, its incompetent officers fired, corrupt officers rooted out by the [[Polizia Amministrativa Imperiale|PAI]] and reformed into the Grand Army of the Empire, the first branch of the Imperial Armed Forces. Because of the unrest spreading in the country, Giovanni was in a race against time to turn the army into a formidable fighting force. He invited foreign advisors, personally appointed the most capable officers and expanded arms trade from foreign nations to quickly modernize the armed forces, with its first test of ability being the [[Montanaro Uprising of 1803]]. Following the conflict, the conscription was scrapped due to worries of the quality of the troops suffering due to the amount of men the army had to manage.

~~A decade after the formation~~ of the Imperial Armed Forces, the ~~Conscription Act was put into effect by Jean I~~, ~~but eventually was scrapped in 1805 due to the amount of men conscripted meant the quality of the units suffered. This sparked worry~~ that ~~the Grand Army~~ was ~~headed for~~ the ~~direction~~ of the ~~FRA, a chance Giovanni I wasn't willing to take~~.

==Ranks==

All branches of the Imperial Armed Forces share the same ranks, reason for this being that each branch was formed independently following the examples of the already existing branches.

In modern times, the Imperial Armed Forces have made strides towards a self-sufficiency, meaning the army attempts to acquire most of their equipment from domestic suppliers. Due to lack of resources and/or industry, Aciria has looked to [[Caphiria]] for supplying them the equipment they cannot produce themselves.

==Imperial Army==

===Imperial Army===

The Imperial Army of Aciria is by far the largest service branch of the Aciriani Armed Forces, boasting 432,000 personnel as of 2020. It is warranted by the mainly flat geography of Aciria to ensure numbers capable of both defending and reinforcing strategic points in Aciria as well as mount an eventual offensive assault. The Imperial Army is split into the defensive Citadel Army (Aciriano: ''Esercito della Cittadella''), and the offensive Vanguard Army (Aciriano: ''Esercito d'Avanguardia''), but the offensive army can adapt to defensive positions and vice versa. Since 2016, the Imperial Army has experienced rapid expansion of their tech-intensive elements, including but not limited to army aviation and various electronic warfare units. Outdated communications technology is in the process of being phased out for more recent, integrated information network.
