The **Armed Forces of the Fox Dynasty** are the armed forces which serve the Libirachi emperor and their government; the majority of the Libirachi armed forces comprise Libirachi Imperial Army, although some outliers exist such as forces belonging to the Commission for the Preservation of the New Order and the Beijing Defence Core. Controlled by Imperial High Command in Beijing, the Libirachi Imperial Army and the Beijing Defence Core are the primary attack forces of the Libirachi Empire, whilst the Libirachi Policing Core is responsible for enforcing the laws passed by the Libirachi Congress.

With 9 million active troops, the Libirachi Imperial Army is the worlds largest standing army, by a significant margin, and reports directly to the Central Military Commission of the Libirachi Empire, following nearly 200 years of being granted nearly full autonomy from the central state government from the establishment of the Imperial Republic of Libirachi in 1852 and the creation of the CMC in 2033 during the presidency of Karyn Voor. The LIA consists of the First Legion, the Imperial Occupation Legion, the Sky Core, the Naval Legion and the Special Forces, serving as the interior defence, ground invasion, aerial combat, naval and special forces divisions of the army respectively. The control of the Libirachi Imperial Army is layered and each force has an internal hierarchy which culminates in the Joint Chiefs, where leading members of the Libirachi Admiralty, Sky Core, Occupation Legion and First Legion meet to deliberate day-to-day operations of the LIA, whilst the Imperial High Command is attended by the leaders of the divisions, that being the Grand Admiral, Grand General and Grand Moff and is chaired by the Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, although since the title was granted to Empress Penny Fox in 2033, the IHC has been chaired by the Defence Secretary.

The Imperial High Command is held to account through the Central Military Commission which is led by the President of the Libirachi Empire and has membership including the Chairman of the Commission for the Preservation of the New Order, the President of the Imperial Privy Council, representatives relevant to the meeting which can be switched out based on need and on occasion members of the National Congress who specialise in army matters. The CMC can legally call any official at any rank within the LIA before it's jurisdiction and both the Imperial Security Bureau and Vindicta have the means to arrest and detain any official who refuses to comply with a CMC summons in order to force their participation in a commission session, whilst the Commission can sentence anyone brought before the body to receive a judiciary trial, or if the Empress so wishes the Vindicta has the power to execute anyone condemned by the body.

## History

As a result of the Libirachi War of Revolution in 1845-52, the Libirachi Imperial Army has always maintained a high degree of autonomy from the central government of the nation thanks to the leadership of Grand Marshal, and later President, Ashford Longwood who motioned for the independence of the army from any political party or leader in order to theoretically prevent the armed forces being used against the peoples of the Libirachi Empire, although it is generally seen by historians as a power mover by Longwood in order to cultivate an army loyal to him, granting him effective *de-facto* power over the nation as the head of the only national standing army. Demonstrated by the internal conflicts following the death of President Stanford Rightly in 1870, the armed forces remained loyal to the Longwood family under Ashford, and later his son Pearce when he assumed the presidency in 1912. Under the leadership of President Eshter Morgan between 1933 and 1949, the army increasingly became a tool of the Libirachi Revolutionary Party, especially during the 1938 Libirachi-Bovido Boarder Skirmishes and Tiananmen Uprising where they followed orders from party headquarters rather than the official government channels.

Over time, the Imperial Army began to become detached again from party channels under the leaderships of Xi Kanna and Jacob Zuma and by the time of the presidency of Nathan Jackson the armed forces maintained a high level of autonomy, with forces in Shanghai even rebelling in 2015, before overthrowing Jackson in 2019 and installing a new regime, which itself began to struggle with the armed forces in the Libirachi Civil War and then later on during the Wahngso Crisis, whilst in the late 2020s, the regime of Empress Penny Fox had to wrestle with an increasingly reluctant armed forces, leading to the 2033 Libirachi Coup d'état removing the government of Damien Salamander and creating the Central Military Commission under the government of President Karyn Voor.
