With a budget of $24 billion, military expenditure consumes approximately 1.615% of Zaclaria's GDP which is among the smallest in the world. That being said, it represents 6% of government spending which puts it among the top 15 highest. This is a result of Zaclaria relying on the Imperial Armed Forces of Caphiria as its primary military force, with Zaclaria's own military primarily serving in a domestic capacity. The RDF has 427,190 active-duty personnel and 2,944,000 in its reserves, for a total strength of 3,371,190. | With a budget of $24 billion, military expenditure consumes approximately 1.615% of Zaclaria's GDP which is among the smallest in the world.
