Cryria: Difference between revisions

Cryria's foreign policy is handled by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, presently headed by Count Erland Maravel. The country has historically operated on the uncodified principal of armed neutrality, and has thus played little part in many of the wider conflicts on Urth.

Due to Cryria's relatively small population and tendency to avoid joining larger power blocs, the nation has historically used a combination of well trained professional soldiers alongside widespread conscription to boost its numbers in wartime and gain access to specialized skillsets among the civilian population. Most Cryrian men and women, barring various exemptions and alternative service options, are drafted at the age of 18, and serve for two years before being cycled back out into the reserves. Reservists are liable for up to 30 days of service a year during peacetime, usually up till age 40 for men. Those who have served at least 20 days in a three year span are considered to be a part of the active reserves.
