'''The Royal Corric Defense Forces ('''''Corric: Fuerza de Defensa de Corric Réal,'' abbreviated FDCR) are the combined military and armed services of [[Casilló y Réal]]. The origins of the
The Royal Corric Defense Forces are responsible for duties defined by the First Constitution: ensuring the continued sovereignty of the kingdom, defending the economic interests of citizens both internationally and domestically, and responding to national emergencies, which include outbreak of illness, natural disaster, and civil unrest. Due to financial constraints, there is a lower amount of what could be considered 'state-of-the-art' armaments in the

Line 41:
During the 17th and 18th centuries, the increased economic output of the united kingdoms of Casilló and Réal allowed for more expansive changes to the military. The smaller fleets of the crown, nobles, and merchant alliances were consolidated into the Royal Corric Armada. This force of sailing ships was charged with defending Corric shipping and protecting the waterways of the nation. A large portion of the fleet would be occupied preventing pirate raids on merchant vessels throughout this period. The levied armies of feudal Andora were phased out to fully embrace the standing professional army Casilló had used to conquer Réal. The Royal Arranzic Armed Legions were increased in size, and renamed the Royal Corric Armed Legions.

Casilló and Réal maintains a smaller-than-average but reasonably modern standing army, focusing on defense-in-depth rather than power projection. The Corric economy is less powerful than neighboring countries, which leaves trade leverage unviable as a means of threat deterrent. The Constitutions also require a certain percentage of the population to be in active military service at any time. This has resulted in a national belief that military power, while morally unfortunate, is ethically honorable to use to prevent foreign aggression.
The doctrine used by the general staff relies on many small, highly-trained, effective units supported by artillery, redundant defense systems, and mobile auxiliaries. The
