As of 2020, it has 9,171 active personnelle and 14,265 reserve personnelle, with an annual budget of IN£2.8 billion.

The Department of War, which itself is a department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, oversees the management of the AFI.

The operations of the AFI are managed by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, in collaboration with the Head of War and the Council of War.

The AFI was formed in 1893 as a union of the Aubertois Armed Forces, the Armed Forces of Henria, and several militias of Septentria. Prior to this, there were two provincial militaries operating in the country, each mostly managed by their respective provincial government, and several militias operating on behalf of the Government of Septentria. The Avy was founded in 1925 and incorporated into the AFI. Insulamia participated in the Battle of France in the Second World War, and later the landings at Normandy and the liberation of France. In 1983, Insulamia began a process of rapid demilitarisation, cutting the military budget in half and relegating the Ministry of War to a department under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Since then, the country has continued to steadily demilitarise, and, as of 2020, the AFI is one-quarter of the size that it was in 1980.

Currently, the AFI is a very small military, relative to other national militaries, though it is decently equipped and technologically sophisticated. Almost all military equipment used by the AFI is manufactured by the Federal government, specifically the Military-Industrial Department under the Ministry of Industry. The Department of Military Research under the Ministry of Science & Technology researches military technology for the Military-Industrial Department to manufacture.

History

Provincial armies (1888–1893)

Following the federation of Insulamia, the country did not have a national armed forces. Instead, each province maintained its own military. 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.
