The Cryrian Defense Forces (Cryrian: Försvarsmakten, "the Defense Forces") is the unified armed forces of the Kingdom of Cryria charged with the defense of the country. The CDF traces its roots back to the standing navies of Vesterholm and Talvere. Since their creation, the Defense Forces have seen action in many conflicts throughout Cryrian history, including the Great War. The CDF's modern structure was established shortly after that conflict and consists of the Royal Cryrian Army, Navy, and Air Force. Under Cryrian law, oaths of allegiance are made out to the sitting Cryrian monarch, who also serves as the commander-in-chief. As with most day-to-day government functions, this power is in practice vested with the Prime Minister and the elected Government. The CDF is directly headed by the General Staff, who in turn reports to the Minister of Defense.
Though the CDF has not engaged in a major international war in over a century, it remains notable in that it continues to practice widespread conscription of both men and women. This practice has made it one of the most prominent Government institutions in the Kingdom, with significant impact on social, economic, and political life.
