Foreign Relations
Military
Main Article: Emmerian Armed Forces
The Emmerian Armed Forces are tasked with defending the United Kingdom of Emmeria from foreign threats and aggression, while also contributing to peacekeeping, humanitarian and disaster-relief efforts. The armed forces consist of three main service branches: the Emmerian Army, Royal Emmerian Navy (REN) and Royal Emmerian Air Force (REAF). Two sub-branches, the Royal Emmerian Marines and Royal Emmerian Coast Guard (RECG), are independent but nominally under Navy control.
Since its foundation, its principal adversary has been the Estovakian Imperial Armed Forces (1718~1921), and its successors the People's Army of Estovakia (1921~1991) and the Estovakian Armed Forces (1991~present). The presence of such a large ground force on its northern border and the presence of Yuktobania to the south has forced the Emmerian Armed Forces to retain conscription (with alternate service options) to this day. Most conscripts serve for at least 3 years in the reserve forces, with some opting for a shorter and continuous active-duty service period.
In 2019 the United Kingdom of Emmeria spent a total of $277.2 billion on defense, equivalent to 3.34% of GDP. Emmeria has 798,800 active military personnel and 1,373,200 reserve personnel. Due to consistent investment in training, equipment and technology, along with the world's second largest economy and third largest defense budget, Emmeria possesses one of the most powerful armed forces in Altereal.

"Guardian of the Nation"
Main Article: Emmerian Army
The Emmerian Army (established in 1540) is the largest branch of the Emmerian Armed Forces, with 503,000 active and 1,273,900 reserve personnel. It has the highest percentage of conscripts out of all the major branches, especially in (reserve) light infantry formations. However it retains a highly trained and experienced cadre of commissioned and non-commissioned officers, along with various specialized units.
The army operates 3,150 tanks, 9,913 armored fighting vehicles, over 5,500 artillery pieces and 1,431 helicopters. Its personnel and equipment are organised into four field armies, which are divided into corps, divisions and brigades. There are a total of 23 active division (8 armored, 5 mechanized, 2 mountain, 1 airborne and 1 air assault) and 9 reserve force commands (with brigades, regiments and district defense commands), which assume the role of divisions in wartime. 6 active and 5 reserve combat aviation brigades support land forces at the corps level.
Around half of the army's forces are deployed near the border with Estovakia, to counter the extensive deployment of Estovakian land units in the region.

While nominally independent, it closely cooperates with, and in wartime is commanded by, the Royal Emmerian Navy.
Royal Emmerian Marines training and doctrine is similar to that of the OMC, focusing on physical and mental fitness, the ability to achieve objectives in small groups, and potential operations on foreign shores. Along with airborne and special forces, the is usually the first ground force to be deployed for foreign interventions.
The REM operates similar land equipment to the Emmerian Army, and also operates various fixed-wing, tilt-rotor and rotary-wing aircraft. REM troop contingents protect ports and embark on REN amphibious warfare ships, and REM pilots operate from both Naval Air Stations and the decks of amphibious assault ships or aircraft carriers.
