National Revolutionary Army (the Cape)
The National Revolutionary Army (Cape Coscivian: Fortsan Revolucao National - literally "Armed Forces of the National Revolution") is the constitutional military of the Federacy of the Cape. It consists of four service branches - the National Revolutionary Army Ground Forces, the National Revolutionary Army Aerospace Forces, the National Revolutionary Navy, and the National Revolutionary Army Strategic Forces. The commander-in-chief of the military is the Capetian head of state, the Chief of the Republic. Defence policy is formed through the Department of Defence and the General Staff, which represents the command of the armed forces on behalf of the Supreme National Assembly.

Founded in 1896 as a revolutionary organization in the Capetian War of Independence, the National Revolutionary Army became the military organization that led to Capetian independence and the founding of the Federacy of the Cape. It was reconstituted into the constitutional national military of the Cape in 1901. Originally loyal to its Republican Nationalist Party, the NRA was civilianized during the first multi-party period, although it led the formation of the emergency National Reclamation Government following the surrender of civil authority to Arcer occupation forces in the Second Great War. Ruling in parallel with the RNP postwar, it was again civilianized in the wake of the 1992 Republic Day revolution, although the extent to which this has occurred remains tenuous. While technically adhering to the principle of civilian control of the military, the NRA continues to see itself as the guardian of the Cape's state ideology, Restarkism, a role granted to it by the founder of the Cape, Melvyn Kalma and codified in the Fundamental Statutes of the constitution. It has therefore played an outsized role in Capetian politics, most recently leading an institutional coup d'état in 2021.
The NRA is one of the largest militaries in Crona by total number of military personnel. While the NRA's primary fighting force is drawn from a group of paid professional volunteers, military service for up to 12 months is compulsory for citizens of all genders. The force remains primarily defensive, and is focused on the defence of national territories and securing the Songun Straits. Slow reforms have taken place in recent years, focusing on the reformation of the NRA into a more professional-based force with expeditionary capabilities.
Organization
Mission
The Fundamental Statutes of the Constitution of the Federacy of the Cape defines the National Revolutionary Army as "the revolutionary and nationalist armed forces of the Cape, which shall defend until death the hard-fought National Revolution from without and within". The commander-in-chief of the NRA is Chief of the Republic, although the army's General Staff holds large amounts of unspoken power.
