Goblytanian military structure

Main structure

Her most glorious majesty empress, Hannelore Marekess Juliana Braga

High command made up from Generals from all 5 branches of the goblytanian army (and very occasionally the commandant general of the reserve corps)

and representatives from all the 5 "high noble" families

* Garde Du Royal
* The Armed forces of goblytania (army)
* Grande Navy
* The Goblytanian Aerokorps
* Reserve and civil Corps (includes the Gardia municpale)
* Goblytanian ordinance

**Branches**

***Garde Du Royale***, every royal even the minor ones are entitled to a "royal guard" regiment which are provided by the state, high nobles often have whole regiments (100s of men), but the lower down the pecking order your are, the less your entitled too (but there will always be at least 1 bodyguard) some families pay to raise their own regiments, so the quality can be incredibly variable, but it doesn't stop every boys dream to part of royal regiments.

***Armed forces of Goblytania,***

***Grande navy*,**

The Goblytanian navy is made up of 3 fleets and nascent fleet aero arm consisting of recognisance aircraft and small fast blimps

Ship designation, goblytanian warships are GWS "Goblytanian War ship"

**The Home Fleet,** this is the fleet tasked with defending Goblytanias sea border, it has a handful of larger capital ships, but the bulk of it formed from transports, destroyers and PT boats, on paper it does lots of coordinated actions with the Gardia Costeria, but in reality they are like 2 cats in alleyway.

**Fleet Du Norde,** Second biggest fleet in the goblytanian navy, has a lot of mid size ships but they are almost all fitted as icebreakers, making the hulls incredibly strong, but of course slow and heavy, with poor manoeuvrability.

**Fleet Du Tropicia,** The largest fleet of the navy, necessary to keep a distant empire alive and trading, not to mention it is "Goblytanias hammer" used like a club with "gunboat politics".

**Fleet Aero Arm,** technically shared equally amongst all branches but they are used the most by the Fleet Du Tropica, they consist of recon planes and blimps and also use flying boats for search and recovery.

***The Aerokorps.***

The Aerokorps is technically a branch of the army but because the trade guilds are the ones who build and maintain the blimps, they stay neutral and work to achieve the guilds motives rather than the militaries, so they are not actually that trustworthy.

Note = All goblytanian ships follow the tradition of painting eyes on the prows of ships (so the ship can see where its going) the aerokorps has continued this tradition.

***Reserve and civil Corps*,**

**Army reservists,** the reserve branch prewar was a important part of the halfpay/pension service and was responsible for keeping records of serviceable man who could be called back up, but as the war has progressed the reserves have been called up so it finds it self as a bit of a shell with minimal things to do, (a lot of the staff have transferred out to the frontlines anyway)

**Gardia Municipale,** the armed paramilitary police of the state, technically civilians, but they are often made up of the nastier more conservative elements of goblin society, so many have joined the fascists in there cause.

**Gardia Costeria,** the section of the Gardia municipale who operate on the rivers and coastlines of Goblytanias an combination, coastgaurd, revenue house, and river police, they wear the same uniforms as the normal Gardia but have distinctive navy blue trousers, and even though they are supposed to be working in coordination with the home fleet, there is bitter jealousy between the two branches.

***Goblytanian Ordinance.***

to call "the ordinance" a single entity is a absolute lie, its width and breath is vast, every bullet and every hardtack biscuit that is ever moved or used, is touched by "the ordinance", in addition it deals with mapping, demolitions, prisons, civil architecture such as wells and aquifers, essentially every aspect of goblytanian life is touched by it, in fact without its the country would shut down, its shame its absolutely rotten to the core.
