History
Provincial armies and unification (1888–1914)
Following the federation of Insulamia, the country did not have a national armed forces. Instead, two 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 military, but the provincial government funded several militias tasked with defending the province; additionally, the Royal Henrian Defense Force would also come to Septentria's aid if attacked.
