The military of Beejaya is a extremely well funded area. With 30% of the national budget, the military has the latest in weapons and spends a decent amount of money on research. While it is widely rumored that most of it's technology has been lifted from other nations, the government maintains that all of it's weapons and patents have been developed on their own. However it should be noted that virtually no one takes this statement seriously. An unsual aspect of the military that is not copied by many forces is the encouragement of relationships within units. Soildiers and officers alike are encourage to form emotional and physical relationships. The thought behind this is that a solider is more likely to die for someone he or she loves then a friend. This has proved to be a great advantage for Beejaya on the Battlefield.
