[[File:Castellanae-01.png|thumb|A group of National Guardsmen]]Supplementing the national defense of the Legion and Navy is the [[National Guard (Caphiria)|National Guard of the Imperium]] (''Castellanae Imperiae''). Its primary instrument is the web of forts (''castrum'') dotting the Imperium. At least one operates in each province, supplying between 1,000 and 5,000 c''astellanara'' to its protection. A single castrum is administered by a base commander (''Praefectus Castrorum'') of the same rank as centurions. His authority over his assigned base is typically respected by higher rank officers (like ''Duces'') but can be overridden if necessary. | [[File:Castellanae-01.png|thumb|A group of National Guardsmen]]Supplementing the national defense of the Legion and Navy is the [[National Guard (Caphiria)|National Guard of the Imperium]] (''Castellanae Imperiae'').

Besides the guardsmen based in a castrum, new legionary recruits (''tirones'') and reserve legionaries (''adscripticii'') reside there to prepare for deployment to replace fallen legionaries.

As in physics and chemistry, Caphirians have dominated the Nobel Prize for physiology or medicine since the Great War. The private sector has been the focal point for biomedical research in Caphiria, and has played a key role in this achievement. | As in physics and chemistry, Caphirians have dominated the Nobel Prize for physiology or medicine since the Great War.

The development of the Internet in Caphiria happened in parallel across the world and while Caphiria does not claim to have developed it first, it does claim to have possessed the first fully-connected country. Early computers were limited to direct channels for communication, where data flowed continuously between connected computers, primarily for military application.

Early computers were limited to direct channels for communication, where data flowed continuously between connected computers, primarily for military application. In the late 1940's, a supercomputer in the Petramori Region in [[Magenevum]] and a small terminal in Venceia were linked over existing telecommunication networks by exchanging data in packets. This connection became permanent was critical in coordinating the development of the first nuclear bomb. This was eventually supplemented by a similar inter-networking of hundreds of magisterial and military computers across the Caphiric world. | ||
Engineers operating this early network of networks offered the protocols for linking computer networks to academic institutes such as the [[Imperial Academy of Science]] and the [[University of Caphiria]]. From there, academics started connecting their private computers. In 1959, the University administration instituted universal protocols for all networks of academic computer networks. Access to this single network of networks was offered to students attending all connected universities and academies. Once this inter-network had reached tens of millions of users, some senators caught on to the idea and started along the path to globalizing this system. Ultimately, the result was the [[Cratis Network]], popularly called the Cratis, a global network of networks using the same data relay protocol for communication. During the development of the Cratis, the research and knowledge was shared among colleagues across the world and protocols became standardized and the Internet evolved into a global resource. | Engineers operating this early network of networks offered the protocols for linking computer networks to academic institutes such as the [[Imperial Academy of Science]] and the [[University of Caphiria]].
