The Fallish Armed Forces is divided into 4 sections. The Fallish Army, the Fallish Navy, the Fallish Air Force and the Fallish Home Guard. Conscription exists in Falland but due to most of the Fallish army being comprised of volunteers only a small number of men are called up into the armed forces annually. Exemptions from conscription can include {{wpl|Conscientious objectors}}, health reasons, education and cultural and religious exemptions. As of 2020 there are 54,382 active soldiers and 84,372 reserve soldiers. Falland's annual defence expenditure was ɢ15.591 Billion or 2.1% of the annual Fallish GDP. The Fallish Armed Forces are overseen by the [[Cabinet of Falland|Ministry of Defence]], the President of Falland is the armed forces' {{wpl|commander-in-chief}} and members of the armed forces are required to swear an oath of loyalty to the constitution of Falland.
Falland is a recognised {{wpl|List of states with nuclear weapons|nuclear weapons state}} after [[Ace (nuclear test)|testing]] its first nuclear weapon with Mascylla in 1943.

Etymology

History

Antiquity

Cambran rule

Middle ages

First Republic and Capron Restoration

The Elizabeth Square Declaration formally dissolved the Kingdom of Falland and established a democratic republic
  • Angered by increasing corruption, unpopular royally appointed governments & a worsening economic state for the middle and lower classes. A popular revolution in 1850 forces the King to establish a proper constitutional monarchy and full universal male suffrage
  • Emergence of the Liberal Party after suffrage enacted, successive liberal governments until 1858 when new king appoints his conservative uncle to PM and begins to roll-back some advances
  • Subsequent revolution & Elizabeth Square Declaration which abolishes the monarchy, grants amnesty to the King but orders the imprisonment of the ex-PM
  • Royal family flee abroad & declare new state illegitimate
  • Ensuing war forces a monarchical restoration in 1858 although constitutional monarchy & universal male suffrage guaranteed
  • Colonial expansion & empire
  • Industrialism & economic powerhouse
  • Liberal governments become increasingly pro-monarchy, rise of the Fallish Republican Party (FRP)
  • FRP govt. in 1902 allied w/ left liberals, no parliamentary majority for an abolition but monarchy's popularity remains very low
  • FRP ousted after colonial scandal & right Liberals + conservatives + nationalists restored to power
  • Socialist Party (SP) foundation and electoral successes
  • Foreign cause collapse of liberalism's support & rise of SP & FRP
  • SP-FRP popular front, government & collapse due to Republican infighting

War Falland

  • Far-right Fallish National Sydicalist Fatherland Party (FNSFP) elected in 1925 election, defeating the unpopular liberal government (FNSFP wins only about 20% of the popular vote but a majority of seats bc of a majority bonus system)
  • FNSFP Prime Minister Thomas Peyton-Jones begins consolidating power, sidelining his conservative allies and banning the socialist party after a series of anti-govt riots
  • Current monarch seeing Asplinism as a more agreeable form of Socialism & attracted to their militarist leanings assents to granting Parliament more powers and giving Peyton-Jones emergency powers
  • FNSFP one-party Asplinist state declared, all opposition parties and trade unions are disbanded followed up with a sham election
  • Irredentist foreign policy expanded upon and colonial reforms enacted loosening ties with some colonies
  • Peyton-Jones is ousted by more radical politicians led by former editor and propaganda minister Edwin Bampfylde
  • Bampfylde takes a hard-line expansionist ideology to distract from a faltering economy
  • Any potential war turns into a protracted nightmare for Bampfylde who had hoped for a quick victory, Bampfylde takes over planning the war and assumes all war ministries + foreign affairs fearing a potential coup
  • Harsh repression of growing opposition movement & govt. becomes more totalitarian
  • Massive military defeat causes lines to collapse, major retreats and desertion as well as decimation
  • King abdicates in favour of his sister who is placed under strict house arrest
  • Bampfylde & leading government officials captured & Falland fully occupied after unconditional surrender

Contemporary period

Independence Day Celebrations after the Braemablair Agreement was signed
  • Fallish colonies either granted independence or become international mandates, Sydenham becomes a neutral internationally governed free city whilst Falland is occupied
  • Elections to a constitutional assembly see right-wing Progressives (former civil servants etc) & liberals (former establishment) win a majority combined, position of the monarchy secured despite republican grumbling from FRP & SP (election results potentially interfered w/ by occupying powers who disliked the Fallish socialists & republicans for their perceived inability to prevent the FNSFP govt.
  • Monarchy referendum passes narrowly although emboldens the Socialist Party who win the first Sydenham elections whilst Falland is still occupied
  • Progressive-Socialist-Liberal-Republican national unity govt. created to provide a united front for independence, Sydenham rejoins Falland (neutrality enshrined in constitution)
  • Braemablair Agreement allows for Fallish independence although enshrines neutrality & bans all but defensive military action
  • Welfare state created by Socialist-Republican govt.
  • Cultural community established w/ former colonies
  • Economic recover (Miracle on the Kir)
  • Return to the international stage
  • Modern 'agreeable partner' foreign policy
  • Low-birth rate, reliance on immigration & other modern problems
