The Socialist Armed Republic of Sofrezia (Frezii: Sotsialisticheskaya Vooruzhennaya Respublika Sofreziya) , commonly known as Sofrezia (Frezii: Sofreziya) is a sovereign, island nation located within the Marmor Sea. Sofrezia is primarily established on the largest island of the Marmor Sea, Grand Athantos (Frezii: Velikiy Afantos), but also holds a number of smaller islands and territories to the north, east and south. No countries currently share a land border with Sofrezia, although the nation is bordered nautically on all sides by the neighbouring countries of Senshen, Saurssia, Toubaze and Medovia. Sofrezia is a multi-party parliamentary republic, and is currently led by President of the Cabinet of Ministers, Roman Stavos, who took leadership in August of 2020 after the fall of dictator and former ruler of Sofrezia, Oleksiy Sobol.

Military

The Presidential Armed Forces of Sofrezia (PAFS; Frezii: Prezidentskiye Vooruzhennyye Sily Sofreziya), are the armed forces of Sofrezia. Since 1961, it is organised as a fully professional standing army. The Commander-in-Chief of the PAFS is the President of the Cabinet of Ministers, Roman Stavos. However for the most part an elected representative, decided by a sitting council of the highest ranked leaders of each military branch, dictates the day to day running of the armed forces. This operational command is lead by the Chancellor of the General Staff, Admiral Nicolaos Pachis.

Current Status

Following the overhaul of the armed forces in 1961, new conscripts to any branch of the PAFS have to undergo a minimum of 5 months of basic training, with a further three months of specialisation training.

Currently there are a total of 40,600 active members of the armed forces and are divided as such: 7,900 for the Sofrezian Revolutionary Army, 17,650 for the 8,498 for the Sofrezian Air Forces 6552 for the Coastal Operations Service

Navy

The Sofrezian Green Navy of the Marmor Sea (SGNMSM; Frezii: Sofreziya Zelenyy Flot Mramornogo Morya) also known as the Green Navy or the Sofrezian Navy, is the branch of the Sofrezian Armed Forces responsible for naval operations of Sofrezia. As of 2020, the SGNMS consists of approximately 17,650 personnel and 44 vessels, including 2 frigates, 6 corvettes , 1 submarine, 16 patrol boats, 7 minesweepers, 4 support vessels, 7 fast gunboats, and a hospital ship. This navy has a history dating back to the November Catastrophe, where the majority of the Navy fell under the flag of the newly arisen Peoples Republic, and only a small number stayed loyal to royalist forces. The SGNMS is a Green-water navy, and operates almost exclusively in the Marmor Sea; only ever venturing further when absolutely necessary to the safety of Sofrezia and her people.  

The SGNMS primarily maintains its larger number of corvettes and patrol vessels for use around the many islands that fall under Sofrezia's flag, however even these ships are starting to age, and the vast majority of the surface fleet should have already been replaced by more modern designs.

Equipment:
The Green Navy's fleet of warships and auxillary vessels are harboured in the three major naval bases at Batrae near Viriz, Grand Athantos near Nycera, and on Madoratti near the town of Cyrus. Internationally, the Navy uses the prefix SNV (Sofrezian Naval Vessel)for its ships.

Coastal Operations Service

The Coastal Operations Service (COS; Frezii: Sluzhba Pribrezhnykh Operatsiy), is the coast guard of Sofrezia. The COS largely operates in a peacetime role, however can be called upon in times of war to protect Sofrezian interests in the Marmor Sea in a more aggressive attack role.

Missions:
The Coastal Operations Service oversees a number of important maritime roles, such as the protection of Sofrezia's borders, ensuring safe navigation in territorial waters, assisting vessels and aircraft when in distress, the protection of natural resources, and fighting against smuggling and piracy. To perform these essential missions, the Coastal Operations Service uses a variety of vessels and aircraft which are almost uniquely constructed to be amphibious in nature.
