The armed forces of Cartadania are some of the largest in the world by active personnel and in terms of military equipment. It consists of the [[Cartadanian Army]] (including the Army Aviation Command), the [[Cartadanian Navy]] (including Naval Aviation), the [[Cartadanian Marine Corps]], and the [[Cartadanian Air Force]]. The president is the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces and appoints its leaders, the secretary of defense and the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The Department of Defense administers four of the five service branches, which are made up of the Air Force, Army, Marine Corps, and Navy. The Coast Guard, also a branch of the armed forces, is normally administered by the [[Department of Homeland Security]] in peacetime, but can be transferred to the Department of the Navy in wartime. Military service in Cartadania is voluntary, and has been since 1974, but conscription may still occur in wartime. Reservists are available to the armed forces and participate in defense exercises and deployments abroad on a pretty regular basis. Cartadania spent $1.072 billion on its military in 2024, approximately 4% of its GDP. | The armed forces of Cartadania are some of the largest in the world by active personnel and in terms of military equipment.

Cartadania has not been invaded in modern histry, with the only invasion occurring in the 5th century, prior to the country's existence. Additionally, Cartadania has no contested territorial disputes with any of its neighbors, nor does it have rivalries since the fall of [[Varshan]]. The Cartadanian military has also once intervened militarily to subdue the Cartadanian government. It has, for the most part, though, built a tradition of participating in LON peacekeeping missions. | Cartadania has not been invaded in modern histry, with the only invasion occurring in the 5th century, prior to the country's existence.
