Unified People's Armed Forces (Magisteria)

The Unified People's Armed Forces (French: Forces armées populaires unifiées) are the unified armed forces of Magisteria. The armed forces are broken down into seven service branches: the Land Forces, the Naval Forces, the Aerial Forces, the Interplanetary Space Forces, and the Constabulary.

Each of the military services is given a role and a domain. The Land Forces are in charge of land operations, while the Naval Forces are in charge of sea operations. The Aerial Forces are in charge of air operations, while the Interplanetary Space Forces are in charge of space operations. The Constabulary serves as the nation's military police force and participates in missions and operations overseas as a fighting force.

From their inception during the Four-Way Civil War of 1924-28 as the Workers' Armed Forces, the Unified People's Armed Forces have played a decisive role in the country's history. They helped forge a sense of national unity and identity through their victory in the Civil War. The All-Union National Security Act of 1930 established the modern Magisterian military framework, establishing the Commission for National Defence (CND) and establishing the Naval and Aerial Forces.

The chairperson of the Council of Ministers is the commander-in-chief of the armed forces and forms military policy with the Commission for National Defence (CND). The Unified People's Armed Forces are one of the largest military forces in terms of personnel. They draw their personnel from a large pool of professional volunteers. With certain exceptions, Magisterian law mandates three-to-five months of military service for all male and female citizens aged 18-27.

The Unified People's Armed Forces are the world's second-most powerful military force. Magisteria's military spending in 2022 was US$288 billion, making it one of the largest in the world. Due to its large budget, the Unified People's Armed Forces has significant capabilities in both defense and power projection, resulting in advanced and powerful technologies that allow for widespread deployment of the force around the world, including around 150-500 military bases outside Magisteria. The People's Interplanetary Space Forces is one of the world's two active independent space forces, along with the U.S. Space Force.
