Key | Country | Year last implemented | Year abolished | Length | Applies to both genders? | Notes |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Aziallis | 1692 | N/A | 24 months | Yes | Stuff about it | |
Axmanie | 1864 | N/A | 9 months | Yes | Conscription was first instated in Axmanie in the wake of rising international tensions between Axmanie and former colonizer Kaiserreich. Fearing a potential invasion, then president Helmut Von Wilkenhau drafted a bill known as the Wehrpflichtgesetz (military conscription act) which mandated that every man had to serve in the army for a period of twelve months. Since then, there have been numerous attempts to repeal the law, but they've always failed. A popular referendum to end conscription in 2011 was rejected by more than 70% of the voters. | |
Ganji Islands | 1960 | N/A | 15 months | No | Conscription is compulsory for men, but for women it's voluntary. 14% of the women choose to serve in the army. Usually people serve when they finish their secondary or tertiary education, usually at 18-24 years old. | |
Hyrtexia | 1922 | N/A | 18 months | No | Conscription was established upon the formation of the Socialist Federal Republic and is a key part of Hyrtexian culture. A boy is seen to become a man when he has served his first 18 months in the army, starting at the age of 16, right at the end of secondary school studies, and before tertiary education. | |
Kissankyla | 1470 | N/A | 24 months | No | Conscription was established centuries ago. The law has been revised minimally. At age 16, you must join the service unless you have indicated you will be going to university for a 4 year degree. Upon the completion of the degree, you are required to serve only 12 months, unless it is in a field of great need. | |
Mokingpudova | 1882 | N/A | N/A | Yes | Mokingpudova believes that no citizen should be forced to work for something they don't want. | |
Nerany | 1954 | N/A | 10 months | Yes | N/A | |
Neuewland | 1706 | N/A | Varies | Yes | Conscription is not usually in effect, but during times of emergency, the Plutocratic council instates a conscription law which conscripts up to 10% of the Neuew population, randomly selected among all adults between 16 to 40, into the military, usually to be used as filler for the spaztverces and landarbeiters to work alongside of. This law dates all the way back to the early 1700s, when the Merchant Princes of Neuewland began consolidating the islands that composed the de jure High Kingdom of Neuewland. | |
Paslin | 1950 | N/A | 24 months | Yes | Conscription is in effect; however, Paslin has kept a small army, and instead usually trains the recruits, so they can be ready to be called up and go through training much quicker should the need arise. All civilians aged 16 to 42 have to undergo conscription unless they don't have citizenship yet. | |
Sacrofnia | 1620 | N/A | 15 months | Yes | "The workouts are harder than any battlefield" | |
Viha | 1927 | N/A | 6 months | No | N/A | |
Whitmarche | 1799 | N/A | 12 months | No | TBA | |
Wolfgalia | 1961 | N/A | 12 months | Yes | Wolfgalian military training and service is mandatory for a period of one year, accepted any time between the ages of 18 and 24 for all citizens. This owes mostly to the smaller size and more skill oriented focus of the military and the Galea belief that all people should be able to defend themselves in any circumstance, be it life-threatening or trivial. |
