The Defence of the Realm of Mascylla, interchangibly called the Mascyllary Reichswehr[a], officially the Royal Defence of the Realm[b] (KRW), or simply the Reichswehr (Hesurian: [ʁaɪ̯çsve:ɐ]), is the armed forces of the Crowned Republic of Mascylla and their adjacent civil administration and authorities, being divided into a sole military part (armed forces or Stretkräfte) and a civilian counterpart (Zivilverwaltung). Its service branches encompass the Mascyllary Army (Königliches Heer), the Mascyllary Navy (Königliche Kriegsmarine), the Mascyllary Naval Marine Corps (Königliche Marinekorps), the Mascyllary Air Force (Königliches Luftheer), the Reichswehr Joint Medical Service (Königliche Reichswehrmedizinbasis), and the Joint Support Services (Königliche Streitkräftebasis).
The Reichswehr has historically played a major role in the history of Mascylla as a whole, beginning with the political unification of the country through the military victory of the leading Kingdom of Aldia and Elbgau Confederation in 1793. It was a central aspect and part of societal culture, interior, foreign, and colonial policy in the Mascyllary Kingdom (1793–1923), and enabled a pivotal contribution to the eventual victory of Mascylla and the Armala Coalition over the Central Alliance, mostly the Cuthish Empire, during the Great War (1911–16). Subsequently, the armed forces and its leadership were an important political power in the Mascyllary Revolution (1923–24), acting as a deep state and cadre army before ultimately pledging loyalty to the republic in return for a post-revolution constitutional monarchy under Maximilian I. The onset of the Great Game once again underlined the military's importance, and the need for a modern and sophisticated armed forces precipitated the Act for National Security in 1959, re-organizing it to its current form by merging multiple offices into the Ministry of Defence and reworking the command structure of its branches.
Though the Monarch is traditionally the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, the Prime Minister de facto maintains this position jointly with the Minister of Defence of the Realm during peacetime, although the Monarch may supersede the Prime Minister's powers by a two-thirds majority consent in the Reichsrat and on the behalf and agreement of a Counselor of Defence (Verteidigungskonsul) proposed by the government. Despite these offices having significant powers, the ability to mobilize forces is vested in the Reichsrat, which can declare a state of war, accordingly with the Ministry of Defence of the Realm. The armed forces are administered by the Security Committee (Sicherheitskommittee) of the Ministry of Defence, headed by the Minister of Defence, which is in turn advised by the General Defence Staff (Allgemeiner Verteidigungsstab), composed by statute of the most highly-ranking military officers and chaired by a Chairman.
The Reichswehr is one of the world's largest armed forces by personnel size, and even though conscription has been temporarily suspended since 2002, it has been able to derive its personnel from long-lasting enthusiasm by the public as paid volunteers. It is generally considered to have access to power projection capabilities on a global scale, contributes significantly to BDTA collective security and defense spending with the single-highest military budget in the world, and possesses up to 390 strategic nuclear weapons under a nuclear triad doctrine and nuclear sharing agreement with Falland.
