## Military

Note: Military numbers taken from the United States of America

Due to the vastness of Greater Kingdom, there has been a vast investment in the Kirin Military. The Kirin Military has over a million acting service men ready to defend the territory of the kingdom. In addition it has nearly 5,000 peaces of land equipment to support those troops on the battlefield.

Due to the vast distances between each of the parts of the kingdom, there has been vast investment in both the Navy and Airforce, with 20 aircraft carriers that are able to be deployed to each of it parts when the need arises and nearly 14,000 aircraft which are used both for offense and defence.

The Kirin military is highly modernised with some of the latest technology, which has served them well in any military engagements. In addition the military is broken down into areas, in order to best react to threats posed by foreign nations to its various borders. However, due to kingdom being so spread out it makes it difficult to gather enough assets together to create an invasion force if the kingdom wished to invade, without leaving other parts of the kingdom vulnerable.
