Defence

Overall defence of the colony is a responsibility of the Freethinker Ministry of Defence. However, as an Autonomous Province, Fortuna raised a branched military arm as the Fortuna Defence Force to serve as its provincial armed forces. As such, there are both nationally and provincially controlled forces within the colony, although there is significant cross cooperation between the various units. The revision of legislation concerning the defence affairs of the Autonomous Provinces, Commonwealth forces are primarily geared towards external defence and force projection in the region whereas the FDF are principally charged with internal security, disaster relief and economic and border patrol functions.

As part of the Freethinker Commonwealth, all citizens go through national service between 18 and 26 (with a small number of exceptions). Military national service contracts can be completed with either provincial or national forces.
