As the Papal State is an enclave within [[Urcea]], its military defense is provided by the [[Armed Forces of the Apostolic Kingdom of Urcea]], an arrangement formalized in the 1815 Concordat. Despite this arrangement, the Papal State is officially a {{wp|neutral state}}. The Papal State has no armed forces of its own, although the [[Yonderian Guard]] is a military corps of the Holy See responsible for the personal security of the [[Pope]], and residents in the state. Soldiers of the Yonderian Guard are entitled to hold Papal State passports and nationality. At the end of [[2030]], the Guard had 189 members. All recruits must be Catholic, unmarried Yonderian males who have completed their basic training with the [[Yonderian Defence Force]] with certificates of good conduct, and must be between the ages of 18 and 30. The Yonderian Guard are equipped with traditional weapons, such as the sabre and halberd, as well as with modern firearms. As the Papal State has listed every building in its territory on the International Register of Cultural Property under Special Protection, the International Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict theoretically renders it immune to armed attack. | |||
Civil defense is the responsibility of the Corps of Firefighters of the State of the Church, the national fire brigade. Dating its origins to the early nineteenth century, the Corps in its present form was established in 1941. It is responsible for fire fighting, as well as a range of civil defence scenarios including flood, natural disaster, and mass casualty management. The Corps is governmentally supervised through the Directorate for Security Services and Civil Defense, which is also responsible for the Gendarmerie. | |||
The Gendarmerie Corps is the gendarmerie, or police and security force, of the Papal State and the extraterritorial properties of the Holy See in and around [[Urceopolis (City)|Urceopolis]]. The corps is responsible for security, public order, border control, traffic control, criminal investigation, and other general police duties in the Papal State including providing security for the Pope outside of the Papal State. The corps has 240 personnel and is a part of the Directorate for Security Services and Civil Defense, an organ of the Governorate of the State of the Church. | |||
