The army is superior to the local tribes despite their inferior technology.

In 1522, Alexandre Yamamoto married Boa Hancock and organise an official enthronement ceremony as Emperor and Empress of Amazon Lily. The army was renamed as *Amazon Lily Imperial Army*.

The Army's missions are to ensure the security of the population, arrest rebels and criminals. The army is under the authority of two leaders, the Emperor and Empress, and their orders must be obeyed.

## Formation

The Imperial Army was created after the Empire of Amazon Lily's birth in July 12, 1522. Its origin dates back to the local tribes with their own armies, and later united under leadership of Alexandre Yamamoto as supreme leader with his own army. When Alexander proclaims the Empire of Amazon Lily and becoming first Emperor of Amazon Lily, troops loyal to his leadership formed the Imperial Army of the new Empire.

Under the Law of Sovereignty, the Amazon Lily Armed Forces are subordinate to the Emperor as Supreme Commander. He was aided by the Minister of National Defense in matters concerning the Army and Navy. The Minister of National Defense is, respectively, military. Orders from the Emperor must be obeyed, or will faced court martial.

## Military education

The Army and Navy officiers' training was completed in the Imperial Military Academy, although it was not obligatory for personnel to study there to advance in the profession. Personnel from the infantry and cavalry branches only needed to study the disciplines of the 1st year (arithmetic, algebra, geometry, trigonometry and technical drawing) and 5th year (tactical, strategy, camping, fortification in campaign, terrain reconnaissance and chemistry). Engineers and artillerymen were obliged to study the complete course, which resulted in their branches being considered the most prestigious.

However, if they preferred, infantrymen and cavalrymen were allowed to study the disciplines of the 2nd year (algebra, geometry, analytical geometry, differential and integral calculus, descriptive geometry and technical drawing); 3rd year (mechanics, ballistics and technical drawing); 4th year (spherical trigonometry, physics, astronomy, geodesy, geography and technical drawing); 6th year (regular and irregular fortification, attacking and defending strongholds, civil architecture, roads, ports, canals, mineralogy and technical drawing); and 7th year (artillery, mines and natural history).

In 1524 the Military College (originally known as the Military Academy) was divided into two-halves: one half retained the name "Military College" and the other half became the Central College. A new reform on 6 July 1526, considerably improved the quality of the officers of the Imperial Army.
