Hendalarsk: Difference between revisions

'''Hendalarsk''', officially the '''Most Serene Federation of Hendalarsk''' (Hendalarskara'': der '''Durchlautigste Staatverband Hendalarskaras''''') is a federal monarchy of an estimated 80 million people located in northwestern [[Levantia]]. The river [[Fröse]] forms its border with [[Yytuskia-Helvana]] to the west, while the nation also shares a land border with [[Cohe]] and [[Gibet]] and maritime borders with the [[Kestrel Isles]] of [[Yonderre]] and the occupied territories of [[Covinia]]. Predominantly populated by ethnic Hendalarskaren who profess the Hendalarskara Catholic faith, Hendalarsk is divided into nine federal states, three Marches, a Capital Region and the [[Pentapolis]]. The bicameral parliamentary federal government rules from Frehmenwerth in the Frehmenwerth Capital Region, with the head of state, the Archking, serving as a notional figurehead.

This theoretical base is reflected in the contemporary capabilities of the Hendalarskara Armed Forces. In addition to the professional standing armed forces, Hendalarsk practises conscription (''Landesdienst'') for all Hendalarskaren at the age of 18, with caveats for relevant disabilities and conscientious objection; conscientious objectors can instead undertake government-mandated civil service, generally involving infrastructure maintenance. Thus while the armed forces largely operate with around 500,000 standing personnel, the nation can theoretically field around 7,000,000 troops in the event of a total war, although the very existence of such a war would be considered a strategic failure in its own right.

The Hendalarskara Armed Forces are divided into fourandone branches; the Army of the Federation (''Bundesheer''), the Federal Air Force (''Bundesluftflotte''), the Federal Navy (''Bundesmarine''), the Special Brigades (''Sonderbrigaden'') and the Emergency Corps (''Nottruppe'').
