The People's Forces for the Liberation of Chianski are the armed forces of Chianski, comprising a small land army and air force with a significant navy and naval aviation branch. The armed forces have been undergoing extensive modernisation and upgrades of equipment at great expense to the government. The PFLC receive significant support and training from the East Cerdan [[National People's Army]]. ▼
▲The People's Forces for the Liberation of Chianski (FPLC) are the armed forces of Chianski, comprising a small land army
The Air Force has approximately 700 personnel and consists of two fighter-interceptor squadrons, two helicopter squadrons, two surveillance squadrons, one transport squadron, and one training squadron along with supporting staff. Most of the Air Force consists of ageing East Cerdan and Morstaybishlian aircraft and equipment, with some modernisation in progress. The Navy consists of around 2,300 personnel and is organised primarily around coastal defence and border surveillance with around 54 light coastal patrol boats, 4 corvettes, 1 frigate and 2 midget submarines of East Cerdan and Morstaybishlian origin.
The paramilitary People's Militas account for some 27,000 citizens who receive military training and are equipped with older weaponry and equipment. Chianski has no domestic arms industry and is reliant on international suppliers. The majority of its material is provided by East Cerdani and other socialist countries, some weapons and equipment left behind after independence from Morstaybishlia are still in use by the FPLC. The FPLC receive significant support and training from the East Cerdan [[National People's Army]].
Registration is mandatory for all people over the age of 18 with selective conscription for 1 year periods of active duty. Any person unwilling to serve the conscription period has the possibility to avoid it by instead serving community service for the duration of their active period.
==Economy==
The Chianskian Economy
[[File:20440010202020Industria.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Expanding light and heavy industries is a priority of the young socialist government.]]
The Chianskian Economy is officially organised along '5 Year Economic Plans' in a similar manner to other socialist countries.
===Natural Resources===
Under Morstaybishlian rule, few geological surveys were done, but after independence geological surveys were conducted on the islands and surrounding exclusive economic zone. New oil fields were discovered surrounding the islands, prompting the development of a limited extraction industry however further expansion was limited due to the challenges at the time. No new further exploration was undertaken until 2008 when further discoveries of huge oil fields were discovered adjoining a number of pre-existing and exploited fields. Following this, the government launched efforts to reverse declining extraction and to kick-start the creation of a domestic production and processing industry.
All oil extraction, production and processing is managed by the state-owned National Petroleum Directorate (DNP) which also has the exclusive right to manage oil exploration permits. The Kunene Oil Refinery in Telver is the sole refinery in Chianski, and was commissioned in 2019 after nearly a decade of construction with assistance and oversight from East Cerdani. The Kunene Refinery has a peak capacity of approximately 138,000 barrels per day and exports around 90-95% with 8-5% typically reserved for domestic consumption and stockpiling.
===Agriculture===
Crop production, forestry and fishing are seen as key industries in Chianski. Plantation agriculture has historically been the mode of operation during the days of colonisation with priority given to cash crops over food production. Following the socialist revolution all the plantations under foreign control have been passed into state-owned agricultural combines and enterprises. Main agricultural exports consist of fresh and canned fruits, maize and tobacco goods such as Chianskian Cigars.
Domestic food production and processing was historically inadequate to meet the food consumption of the local population, with most of the food being imported internationally. After the socialist revolution the new government has implemented policies to expand domestic food production, officially achieving self sufficiency in maize, rice and wheat in 2021. Despite this Chianski continues to import as much as 25% of its food, primarily from [[East Cerdani]] and other friendly countries.
===Tourism===

The tourism assets of Chianski are primarily it's natural environment consisting of pristine beaches, dense forests and coral reefs. Tourism has historically been a very profitable industry in Chianski. Prior to independence Morst Tourists would regularly vacation and visit Telver and Chianski's beaches. Tourism dropped in the wake of the 2004 Revolution, but international and domestic operators have regained their confidence and tourism has surged from 2016 with a growth rate of 34% in 2022.
The Chianskian government has been careful in it's management of the tourism industry, as it provides a large amount of much needed foreign currency and attracts more foreign investment than any other part of the country's economy. The government has been actively promoting Chianski as an eco-tourist destination internationally and has successfully hosted a number of international sporting and aquatic events to promote the industry. Cruise Ships are also an important factor for attracting visitors, and the government actively engages and invests in c
===Heavy & Light Industry===
The Light & Heavy industrial sectors are relatively new in Chianski, only emerging after independence but quickly diversifying into a large import-substitution manufacturing sector. These included food processing, textile manufacture, consumer goods production, cement production, chemical and medicine production, oil refining, glassware manufacturing and tyre manufacturing.
Following the the socialist revolution in 2004 the new government has placed special emphasis on expanding heavy industries such as oil refining, wind-turbine manufacture and ship-making and maintenance. A number of these industries are still being developed, with ship-making limited by a lack of significant international customers and interest along with under-investment into the expansion of floating drydock facilities, many of which are used for maintenance, upgrades and jumboisation.
===Transport===

There are over 1,000 km of roads across the islands, but much of the network is unpaved and undermaintained. The main international airport is at Telver, 3 other major paved airports, 2 paved aerodromes and around 12 airstrips with unpaved runways make up the network of airports across Chianski. The state-owned Chianski Airlines ([[TAAC Chianski Airlines|TAAC]]) is responsible for all regular domestic and international air services. The Chianskian General Aviation Company (COMAG) is responsible for local, light aviation service between islands and offshore platforms along with crop dusting and search and rescue services.
Chianski has three major ocean ports at Telver, Gorjão and Baixa Coimbra. The main international port at Telver has been undergoing extensive rehabilitation and improvements. About 13 smaller ports are used for inter island traffic, many in a state of disrepair and undergoing rehabilitation.
