The Royal Armed Forces of the Empire (RAFOTE), also known as His Majesty's Armed Forces (HM's Armed Forces), the UK Armed Forces or the Morstaybishlian Armed Forces are the military services responsible for the defence of the United Kingdom, its Overseas Territories and the Crown dependencies. The RAFOTE is the worlds second-largest Armed Forces, with an approximate strength of 2,822,389 personnel, 0.7% of the total population. It is the fastest growing and modernising military force in the world, with significant defence and global power projection capabilities. Recently, it has been rapidly developing and commissioning new arsenals, with numerous technological advancements and breakthroughs. It is widely known for it's military prowess and training methods. The RAFOTE is the key force protecting the Auroran Union from foreign invaders due to its large size and budget.
Since the formation of the Kingdom of Morstaybishlia in 1515, the armed forces have seen action in a number of major wars involving the world's great powers, including the Western Auroran Crusades, the War of Joralesia, the Auroran Imperial War, the Four Days War, and the Auroran-Pacific War. Repeatedly emerging victorious from conflicts has allowed the UK to establish itself as one of the world's leading military and economic powers.
Today, the UK Armed Forces consist of: the Royal Navy, a blue-water navy with a fleet of (?) commissioned ships; the Royal Marines, a highly specialised amphibious light infantry force; the Morstaybishlian Army, the UK's principal land warfare branch; and the Royal Air Force, a technologically sophisticated air force with a diverse operational fleet consisting of both fixed-wing and rotary aircraft. The Commander-in-chief of the Morstaybishlian Armed Forces is the Morstaybishlian monarch, Lambertus VII, to whom members of the forces swear allegiance. The UK Parliament approves the continued existence of the armed forces by passing an Armed Forces Act at least once every six years, as required by the Bill of Rights 1519. The armed forces are managed by the Defence Council of the Ministry of Defence, headed by the Secretary of State for Defence.
The United Kingdom is one of five recognised superior nuclear powers. Overseas garrisons and facilities are maintained at (list of all overseas bases and facilities).
The current Commander-in-chief is Lambertus VII since his inauguration in 1991, whilst the Secretary of State for Defence is Nickolas Frost.
Nuclear weapons
The UK possesses one of the worlds largest nuclear stockpiles. Today, the UK has a total of 7,314 respectively. It's largest and most powerful bomb is the Constantine Bombs at 52 Megatons each. The UK distributes its nuclear arsenal around the globe, with key bases in Adumara, Kuthernburg and its Oversea Territories.
The total stockpile during the Auroran Imperial War was over 40,000.
