The Zamorodnian Combined Militia (Zamorodnian: Замородинська Зведена Міліція; Zamorodyns'ka Zvedena Militsiya) is the unified military of the Zamorodnian Hetmanate. Commanded by the Hetman, the Combined Militia is composed of local militias raised in each of the fifteen stanytsy in Zamorodna. Training, equipment, numbers, and methods of recruitment vary drastically from one stanytsa to the next, but each one is obligated to muster a minimal force determined at the election of a new hetman.
The Combined Militia is rare among professional armed forces in that it has no distinct branches of service, including subordinated power. As a landlocked country, Zamorodna has a negligible force of riverine vessels placed at the Hetman's command.
