The Royal Sjealandic Defence, also known as His Majesty's Armed Forces, is the unified armed forces of The Archkingdom of Sjealand, charged with the defence of the Realm and its overseas territoriesm, aswell as maintaining Sjealandian sovereignity on the seas and abroad. It also promotes Sjealands wider interests, supports NFO peacekeeping and expansion and provides humanitarian aid. It is the largest military in the Northern Sea Defence Organisation and one of the largest in Esquarium.

Since its formation in the 1400's as an amalgamation of the Navy and Army, the armed forces have seen action in a number of major wars involving the world's great powers. Most notably of these have been the Ambrosian War of Liberation, Great War of the North and the Continental War. It has also fought several local conflicts in Nordania, such as the August War and the War of the Njord. Repeatedly emerging victorious from conflicts has allowed Sjealand to become the premier international power in Nordania and arguably one of Esquarium's leading military and economic powers.

The Sjealandic Defence consists of: the Royal Sjealandic Navy, a blue-water navy and the strongest in Esquarium, the Royal Sjealandic Army, the oldest professional land warfare branch in Nordania, the Royal Sjealandic Air Force, the air warfare branch, and the Royal Sjealandic Border Guard a mixed border police, paramilitary and military police unit. The Sjealandic defence makes extensive use of conscription to support its professional branches with conscripts being included in the standing regular reserve. As such Sjealand has an extensive population of able bodied soldiers to count on.

The Archking is the commander in chief of the armed forces under both the Sjealandic law and constitution, and as a result has an important presence in the military. The minister of defence is the serves as the main administrator and commander of the Sjealandic Armed Forces through the Chief of Defence and the Defence Command and the Home guard. The command of the foreign legion falls to the reigning monarch. De facto command of the armed forces fall with the Government, but they cannot mobilise the armed forces for offensive operations without the consent of the monarch and both houses.

Sjealand maintains the concept of total defence (Tynic: Totalforsvar), which is a military policy requiring extensive preparations in case of war, with pipelines and other infrastructure ready to be switched to military use, a preparation to switch governance to a war-government, including having a number of members of the home-guard aswell as other civillians ready to take on military roles in the event of conflict.
