'''HISTORY '''

 [WORK IN PROGRESS]

'''ARMY '''

 Ottoman Republican Army – the bulk of the Ottoman Republican Armed Forces, the Army has always been vital on maintaining control and security of the Republic’s territories, especially in the desert where the bulk of the major effort to stem the growth of pro-mamono revolution is, even if the responsibility of prosecuting counter-insurgency operations are left to special operations units and militias.

<p class="MsoNormal"> Ottoman Republican Navy – the branch of Ottoman Republican Armed Forces which is responsible for upholding the security of their maritime territories

<p class="MsoNormal"> Ottoman Republican Air Force – the branch of Ottoman Republican Armed Forces which is responsible for guarding the Republic’s airspace

<p class="MsoNormal"> Janissary Corps – the spearhead of the Ottoman Army, this elite force have always led the way in breaching enemy lines and storming enemy areas. They are well-adapted to fight in any terrain at any time and circumstance.

<p class="MsoNormal"> Special Operations Force – tutored by Delta Force instructors, they are specialized in various covert action tactics, as well as counterterrorist operations.

<p class="MsoNormal"> Military Intelligence Branch – based on HLF Military Intelligence Directorate, they are responsible for military intelligence-gathering and are also adept at destroying hostile factions through ingenuity and subterfuge.

<p class="MsoNormal"> Citizen Forces – the territorial reserve of the Armed Forces, all Ottoman citizens except the disabled, elderly and children are required to be a part of the Citizen Forces and render two-week security services.

<p class="MsoNormal">'''OTHERS '''

<p class="MsoNormal"> The following departments are outside the jurisdiction of the Ottoman Department of National Defense

<p class="MsoNormal"> Civil Defense Agency – this agency is responsible for the safety of civilians during war, whether be from natural or man-made disasters

<p class="MsoNormal"> National Security Agency – this agency is responsible for homeland security rooting out enemy agents and terrorists before and if they managed to infiltrate the country.

<p class="MsoNormal"> Republican Guard – as they are responsible for guarding VIPs such as the President and diplomats, they are outside the jurisdiction of the Department of National Defense in case the military attempts a coup d’etat against the regime. True to their name, they are expert in building fortifications and defending territories for extended periods of time as long as possible, even from overwhelming odds. Their headquarters, the Republican Guard Forces Command, is answerable directly to the President.

<p class="MsoNormal">'''ALLIES OF OTTOMAN REPUBLIC '''

<p class="MsoNormal"> Human Liberation Front – principal supporter of the Republic and one of the Republic’s closest allies

<p class="MsoNormal"> North Zipangu – a secondary supporter of the Republic; sells military equipment to the Ottoman Republic in exchange for Ottoman oil.

<p class="MsoNormal">Shabiha  – desert tribal militias from the Bedouin ethnic group, one of the staunchest anti-monster nomadic warrior societies, organized, funded and armed by the Military Intelligence Branch, to fight against pro-mamono and anti-Ottoman forces using terror tactics. Unlike the Armed Forces, the shabiha are allowed to overtly commit war crimes such as pillaging and rape against desert inhabitants, especially those who are pro-mamono. They use spells to protect themselves from demonic energy and charms, so it is not unheard of them being able to humiliate mamono and retain their hatred to kill them. It is noteworthy for historians that most of local heroes who fought apophii are of Bedouin descent.

<p class="MsoNormal">'''ENEMIES OF OTTOMAN REPUBLIC '''

<p class="MsoNormal"> Demon’s Dawn – a monster extremist terrorist group with ties to Deruella, they aim to turn the desert into a dark demon realm under her control.

<p class="MsoNormal"> MSLA – based in a distant continent called Quarantia, the Monster-friendly States Liberation Alliance aids pro-mamono people and non-aligned Pharaohs in their fight against the Ottomans, and surprisingly, monster extremist members of Demon’s Dawn.

<p class="MsoNormal"> Harmonia – same with the MSLA, but strangely, both MSLA and Harmonia are in odds with each other as well as fighting humanists and monster extremists.

<p class="MsoNormal"> Hizballah – militant forces who demand the independence of desert kingdoms from the Ottoman Republic and “humanist and monster imperialists”. They fight the Ottomans, Demon’s Dawn, MSLA, Harmonia and shabiha.

<p class="MsoNormal"> 

<p class="MsoNormal">'''CURRENT STATUS '''

<p class="MsoNormal"> The Ottoman Republican Armed Forces still delivers performance comparable to most HLF military forces, but its small military population in ratio with large desert and mountainous territory has found it overstretched. It holds the record of having the smallest armed force amongst humanist nations, forcing it to rely on the shabiha, Republican Air Force, Janissary Corps, Special Operations Force and military intelligence to prosecute the bulk of their counterterrorist operations against pro-mamono rebels.
