Conscription

Country	Conscription in force	Since	Length	For women	Alternative service available	Exceptions for certain groups
Ambrose	Yes	2010 (current form)	24-36 months	Yes	Yes	No
	Conscription has existed in Ambrose since antiquity, initially in the form of medieval levies and later implemented following the military coup after the Democratic Reformation. Though it was loosened by the Kettering administration in the early 2000s, in its current form it has been in force since 2010, for the first time allowing for the conscription of women and minority groups. Conscientious objectors have the option of exploring alternative national services, though this is heavily stigmatized by society.

	Conscription for the Islamic Revolutionary Army has existed since the formation of the IRA in 1922 but takes its current form from the 1980 Conscription Law. The 1980 amendment provided exemptions for university students studying engineering, medicine and science degrees, however they are viable to be conscripted into specialist roles following their graduation. Conscientious objectors are not recognised and face either prison sentences or being press-ganged into service for the maximum four years. Conscription has since been reserved for the Islamic Revolutionary Army Land Forces and the Gendarmerie General Command.
Katranjiev	No	from 1953 to 1990	N/A	N/A	N/A	N/A
	Male conscription was mandated during the People's Republic of Katranjiev, lasting 12 months once they finished Year 13. Only those who were deemed "mentally or physically unfit" for service were exempt from the draft. After the end of the Liberationist regime, conscription was abolished in October 1989, and it took effect on January 1, 1990.
Luziyca	No	until 1991	N/A	N/A	N/A	N/A
	The Luziycan Armed Forces is entirely volunteer-based.
Montecara	Yes	1949	24 months	Yes	No	No
	Conscription is theoretically universal and compulsory, with the usual term of service beginning at the end of secondary education, typically from ages 17 to 19 or 19 to 21. Once off active duty, service members are in the reserves until reaching the age of 40, or 45 for officers. In practice, less than 20% of the pool of potential conscripts is actually called to serve.
Xiaodong	Yes	1988 (current form)	24 months	Yes	Yes	Partial
	Conscription - known as Patriotic Civic Service - was first introduced for men in 1869 being mandatory for 28 months. In 1936, women were also requiered to enlist for conscription and in 1988 the time of service was decreased to 24 months. Alternate service in a non-combatant role is optional on medical grounds. Those attending higher education can opt to serve for 12 months in either an combatant or non-combatant role.
