[[File:ECMilFlag.png|thumb|left|The emblem of the Emberwood Coast ArmedDefensive Forces.]]
Emberwood Coast's military is extremely technologically advanced, taking scientific ideas from the [[Nation/Emberwood_Coast#Space_Program|ECSEA]] and other research organizations to increase the power of the otherwise small fighting force.
The combined forces of all four branches are quite capable of defending the Coast, however, most operations are in defense of allied nations on foreign battlefields.
The Armed Forces are comprised of four sections:
* The [[Emberwood Coast Military#Command|Emberwood Coast Command Agency]] coordinates the Coast's strategic and intelligence assets, as well as any weapons of mass destruction.
* The [[Emberwood Coast Military#Ground Forces|Emberwood Coast Terrestrial Armed Forces]],or Army for short. It handles all the ground fighting.
* The [[Emberwood Coast Military#Naval Forces|Emberwood Coast Naval Forces]], or Navy. It is comprised of the Navy's fighting ships, as well as the Coast Service.
* The [[Emberwood Coast Military#Aerospace Forces|Emberwood Coast Aerospace Forces]], or Air Force. It is in charge of all the Armed Forces' flying vehicles, both in atmosphere and in space (Although as of yet, space includes only the Orbital Anti-Ballistics System, a total of three unmanned satellites).

''Main article: [[Aura|Capitol city of Aura]]''
Aura, the capital of Emberwood Coast, is home to 80%a vast majority of the national population. It is by far the densest population center in the area.
It is home to the nation's Administration Center, as well as the Arbiter Council and the Free Assembly Center.
Additionally, the city is just West of the Border with Axdel, making it a hotspot for overland trade, with several warehouses, depots, and rail stations. Over a dozen mag-lev stations connect Rockport to the Axdelian Border. The city also has the nation's highest building, not to be confused with the ''Tallest Building''. The nation's tallest structure is located in Aura, and is shorter by ten meters because of the natural elevation of the northern part of the country.

The coasts of the nation are green, much as they once were, and teeming with life, one such species lending their likeness to the nation's animal, the fox.
The entire nation, and it's claimed seas, span only a few thousand square kilometres. To the north there is the Gradean Sea, and to the South and West, is the larger nationsnation of Axdel and Quartz Fern Coast hold strong. Due to its proximity to the sea, the nation's tallest natural point is a small chalky mesa, near the northern border, which reaches only about 298 meters at its peak.
The nation's cities are extremely dense, containing 90% of the population in less than 30% of the land. The majority live in the capital, Aura, while other dense centers exist on the mainland coast.
