The '''Armed Forces of Insulamia''' ('''AFI'''; {{lang-fr|Forces Armées d'Insulamie}}) is the triservice {{wp|Armed forces|military organisation}} of [[Insulamia]], responsible for the defense of the nation. They also promote Insulamia's national interests, deliver {{wp|humanitarian aid}}, and provide {{wp|civil defense}}. It consists of three branches: the [[Army of Insulamia|Army]], the [[Navy of Insulamia|Navy]], and the [[Avy of Insulamia|Avy]]. As of 2020, it has 9,171 active personnelle and 14,265 reserve personnelle, with an annual budget of [[IN£]]2.8 billion.
 
The [[Department of War (Insulamia)|Department of War]], which itself is a department of the [[Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Insulamia)|Ministry of Foreign Affairs]], oversees the management of the AFI. Constitutionally, the [[commanders-in-chief of Insulamia|commanders-in-chief of the AFI]] are the [[Monarchy of Insulamia|Queen]] and the [[President of Insulamia]], who are also the {{wp|Head of state|heads of state}}. The operations of the AFI are managed by the [[Minister of Foreign Affairs (Insulamia)|Minister of Foreign Affairs]], in collaboration with the [[Head of War (Insulamia)|Head of War]] and the [[Council of War (Insulamia)|Council of War]].
 
The AFI was formed in 1914 in response to the outbreak of the [[First World War]]. It was a union of the [[Aubertois Armed Forces]], the [[Royal Henrian Defense Force]], and several [[militias of Septentria]]. Prior to this, there were two provincial militaries operating in the country, each mostly managed by their respective provincial government, and several militias operating on behalf of the [[Government of Septentria]]. The Avy was founded in 1925 and incorporated into the AFI. Insulamia participated in the {{wp|Battle of France}} in the {{wp|Second World War}}, and later the {{wp|Normandy landings|landings at Normandy}} and the {{wp|liberation of France}}. In 1983, Insulamia began a process of rapid {{wp|demilitarisation}}, cutting the military budget in half and relegating the [[Ministry of War (Insulamia)|Ministry of War]] to a [[Government hierarchy of Insulamia|department]] under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Since then, the country has continued to steadily demilitarise, and, as of 2020, the AFI is one-quarter of the size that it was in 1980.
 
Currently, the AFI is a very small military, relative to other national militaries, though it is decently equipped and technologically sophisticated. Almost all military equipment used by the AFI is manufactured by the [[Federal government of Insulamia|Federal government]], specifically the [[Military-Industrial Department (Insulamia)|Military-Industrial Department]] under the [[Ministry of Industry (Insulamia)|Ministry of Industry]]. The [[Department of Military Research (Insulamia)|Department of Military Research]] under the [[Ministry of Science & Technology (Insulamia)|Ministry of Science & Technology]] researches military technology for the Military-Industrial Department to manufacture.
 
==History==
{{main|Military history of Insulamia}}
===Provincial armies and unification (1888–1914)===
{{see also|Army of Aubert|Royal Henrian Defense Force|Militias of Septentria}}
Following the [[federation of Insulamia]], the country did not have a national armed forces. Instead, two [[Provinces of Insulamia|provinces]], [[Aubert]] and [[Henria]], maintained their own militaries that were remnants of colonial militaries. There were several reasons for this, including a lingering distrust between the provinces, and the relative peacefulness of Insulamia which did not warrant a strong nor unified military. The [[Federal Government of Insulamia]] was also not focused on defense at the time and did not yet have a ministry for war. [[Septentria]] did not have an official armed forces, but the provincial government funded several [[Militias of Septentria|militias]] tasked with defending the province; additionally, the [[Royal Henrian Defense Force]] would also come to Septentria's aid if attacked.
