The Nikolian Armed Forces (Serbian: Oružane snage Nikolije, Mazurian: Siły Zbrojne Nikolii), also known as His Majesty's Armed Forces are principal military forces of Nikolia responsible for its defence and promotion of wider Nikolian interests, support international peacekeeping efforts and provide humanitarian aid.
Since its creation in 1677 after the Unification of Nikolia, the Nikolian Armed Forces have participated in many conflicts that impacted Nikolia and Astyria as a whole, such as Napoleonic wars and Great Astyrian War.
The commander-in-chief of the Nikolian Armed Forces is the monarch of Nikolia, currently King Aleksandar II to whom members of the forces swear allegiance. Management of the armed forces is responsibility of the Ministry of Defence charged with formulating and executing defence policy for the armed forces. The highest command authority in the armed forces is the General Staff, composed of six senior officers who make strategic and tactical preparations and procedures for use during peace time and war.
