The following is a detailed report on the armed forces of MFUSR. It was compiled by UN reporters in conjunction with MFUSR's government.

Requirements

All males and females are required to sign up for MFUSR's military at the age of 16. During times of war, these 16 year olds are sent to training camps right away. However, citizens are given the option to finish education until they are 18 years of age during times of peace. An overwhelming amount of students choose to finish their studies. However, all citizens of MFUSR, excluding the physically and mentally disabled, will serve two years in the armed forces once they are 16 or 18. Studies show that most of MFUSR's students accept this requirement willingly and see it as yet another positive educational experience. That is what the military hopes to create: MFUSR's goal is not to make killing machines, but strong and interdependent citizens who fight for their ideals.

The Soldier

The average soldier is 22 years old. Despite the fact that a large portion of MFUSR's army is made up of conscripted teens, there are many citizens who make their careers as soldiers due to the nice salary, living conditions, and education opportunities. The standard soldier serves in an infantry division. He or she is issued a dress uniform, (a crimson hat, dress shirt, pants/skirt, and boots), battle suit (sage kevlar helmet, kevlar vest, fatigues, and black boots), and a MF-071 battle rifle (7.62 caliber black rifle; 30 round clips; semi-auto and auto fire). Other soldiers serve in tank battalions, naval fleets, and air sqaudrons. They are equipped accordingly. MFUSR's large military budget has payed off. Soldier casualties are the lowest in the region due to superior training, equipment, and medical technology.

Foreign Policy

MFUSR is a militarily-ambitious nation. It currently occupies the nations of Hamboniastion, Altrufal, and Calvinastion. While it does not control these territories directly, it reaps a tremendous profit off of them. Recently, Altrufal was named as MFUSR's official UN District. All of MFUSR's ministers and ambassadors reside in this small territory.

Because of this occupation, MFUSR is in a constant state of war with insurgents and rebels in these nations. However, MFUSR has not had to to declare any major combat operations in these countries during the last 3 years. Attacks are weak and far in-between. Only the most radical of citizens dare to stand up to the army.

Because of the lack of destruction, death, and setbacks, MFUSR's public opinion of warfare is very high. MFUSR has never been attacked by a foreign force on their own soil either, so its citizens have never really felt the hardships of combat.
