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 thanal levies and later implemented in their modern form by Godfred Crovan in 1859. In its current form of Confederal Service, in force since 2010, all males and females are subject to conscription — called up for a period of three months, after which approximately two-thirds are demobilized to the reserves. Conscientious objectors have the option of exploring alternative national services, though this is heavily stigmatized by society.
 UNIR Yes 1980 (current form) 12-48 months No No Yes
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.
 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.
 Sjealand Yes 1828 (Sjealandic constitution) 8-16 months Yes Yes Yes
Conscription in Sjealand is a common practice in the armed forces, with over 36,000 young people doing national service yearly. The conscription is enforced primarily as going through basic training for 4-6 months and then functioning as garrison and reserve soldiers for the duration of the service, during which the military attempts to recruit them as career soldiers. Both genders are at age 18 called up to a national lottery where they draw lots to determine who must serve if there is a lack of volunteers.
 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 required 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.
