History
Recent military involvement in Rutania has been small for over 300 years. As of now the Rutanian Armed Forces have seen little action since the Commonwealth has been established.

During the 2300s Rutania was called the Rütanen Reich, a facist nation and for almost 100 years the RAF (then called the Rutanen Reich Army) was involved with 2 wars.

Second Dundorfian Civil War
The Rütanen Reich Army were seen as the catalyst of the 2nd Dundorfian Civil War. Prior to the war the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Rütanen Reich secretly offered the Dundorfian Government military aid in case of a rebellion of leftist parties in February of 2365. As the tension between the Government and the left-wing parties was dying down, the Government hesitated and gave permission to the Rütanen Reich Army to march into Dundorf. A force of 31,000 troops, named the Rütanen Expeditionary Force (REF), entered Dundorf via the Chontaloia region and the war began.

By the end, nearly 100,000 soldiers would serve in the REF in the conflict in Dundorf.

Organization
Rutanian Army is organized into 5 skeleton divisions, spearheaded by armoured brigades. These divisions are to be filled by reserves in wartime. Rutanian Navy is organized into 2 fleets: Northern Fleet, Southern Fleet. Rutanian Air Force is organized into 3 Air Force Groups. Rutanian Military Intelligence is organized into two branches: Intelligence and Counter-Intelligence

The Rutanian Army is the land armed forces branch of the Rutanian Armed Forces. After the Military Rearmament Act of 2702, the Army was given massive funding to rearm and re-equip itself for 28th century warfare. New additions to the Army include the new R1-A2 "Jaguar" Main Battle Tank, and several other armoured and mechanized vehicles to fit into the Army's new mobile divisions.



New, advanced small arms were also acquired for the infantry.



The Military Reform Act of 2804 took into account the former bills enforced by the Rutanian legislative bodies and introduced new clauses. It introduced 500 R-2B battle tanks and kept 300 of the older R1-A1 "Jaguar" tanks.

The Rutanian Army consists of 650,000 active soldiers and 300,000 in reserves giving a total of around 800,000 soldiers (as of July 3010).

Artillery

1000 - D104 RA

This type of artillery specializes in continential engagements due to its capability to support extremely long-ranged combats. It is equipped with highly advanced missile launching systems that can also carry nuclear armaments. It has high RPM, and can detect and intercept bombers, fighters, and warships from countries away.



333 - 3234DD Landbreaker

This is the main artillery type for the Rutanian Army and Marine Forces. Due to its capability to fire extremely heavy shells to long-ranged targets, it is commonly used in all environments.

Tanks

Acknowledged to be equipped with the impenetrable armor ever known, there are no known bullets or missiles that can successfully penetrate the tank's armor currently. The armor's components are classified. The tanks can freely engage incoming aircrafts due to the high-tech land to air homing missiles.

- R1-A1 Jaguar Tanks

A 3rd generation tanks that serves the Rutanian Army and Marine Forces. It is more commonly used than the R - 2B's due to its low cost. It is equipped with heavy 105mm rifle cannon and and 50 rounds of smoothfire cannons.

Rutanian Navy
The Rutanian Navy is the strongest branch of the military, with significant portion of the defense funding being allocated towards the Rutanian Technological Development Department - Navy (RTDD - Navy).

Headquarters
The Headquarters for the Rutanian Navy is located in Port Nelson, Ardinia. It supports naval relations across the world and are responsible for the entire navy-related affairs, foreign and domestic.

Rutanian Air Force

 * 500,000 active soldiers
 * 300,000 reserves
 * Total Aircrafts: 100,000 (old and new)

Structure
There are three main Air Force commands, each consisting of several fighter and bomber squadrons.

Pilotwings
Pilotwings is a manmade Island that acts as a strategical fortress and an airbase for Rutanian fighter-bombers and attack aircraft. Under the RAF and the Rutanian Government the island was constructed in the early 2650s. It is a mobile manmade Island, propelled by a salt-water hydroelectric generator and a clean water propulsion system. Pilotwings can carry a capacity of 50 inactive aircraft and 20 active aircraft and 5,000 Marine infantry.



Technology
The RAF uses some of the most cutting-edge technology available in the world, codenamed "RutaTECH" by the Defence Department the Air Force. This technology allows aircraft, and missiles, to reach hyper-sonic speeds and to perform at previously unattainable altitudes. RutaTECH makes Rutania's air forces some of the most dangerous in the world. The secrets behind this technology remain highly classified, as Bozarburg Solutions, the nationalised defence arm of a larger conglomerate by the same name, falls under the department of defence, who are unwilling to share the technology except with the closest of allies.

{C}There are 5 Pilotwings bases:
 * Base Albert
 * Base Tony
 * Base Shirley
 * Base Lance (Saridan territory do to the Treaty of Klausenburg)
 * Base Frank
 * Base Roel

{C}Air Fighters

101 Rolx-12 Eagle

The 101 Rolx-12 Eagle is the 8th generation interceptor to actively serve the nation. It has one of the most excellent motors that can support incredibly fast speed and high-performance maneuverability. The fighter is the main RAF plane, and is equipped with 9 different missiles (anti-air & anti-surface). The fighter is relatively new to the RAF, thus has not been engaged in any major conflicts. The fighter is takes up most of the defense expenditure, thus are produced only when it is needed.

Heavy Bombers



D - 11 Stratosphere Bombers

D - 66 Flying Base Bombers

The Heavy Bombers of the RAF can deliver deadly impact on air to land warfare. It is also equipped with anti-aircraft missiles, so it can engage in direct air warfare without significant suport from the fighters or interceptors.

Light Bombers

F10 - 11 Core Supersonic Bombers

F11 - 20 Stealth Bombers

Nuclear capabilites
Since 2814 the Commonwealth of Rutania is a nuclear power. The first nuclear weaponry was purchased by Rutania from the Holy Luthori Empire. {C}The Hexlon Imperial Conglomerate sold to the government of the Commonwealth several nuclear bombs and warheads.

In 2818 the Senate established the Nuclear Weapon Supervisory Committee, which manages and supervises the production and usage of the nuclear weaponry in the possession of Rutania.

According to the first report of the NWSC, Rutania posesses the following instruments:
 * 5 TNB0765 Medium Yield Nuclear Bomb, 500 kt;
 * Production rights and schematics of the TNB0765;
 * 12 SNW0167 Low Yield Nuclear Warhead, 100 kt;
 * Production rights and schematics of the SNW0167;
 * 1 LSMS-743 Imperator V - ICBM system, can carry up to 12 warheads at 15,000 mph for 8,000 miles;
 * Production rights and schematics of the LSMS-743;

From 2840 the Commonwealth possesses:
 * 1 more LSMS-743 Imperator V - ICBM system AND
 * 10 more SNW0167 Low Yield Nuclear Warhead, 100 kt

Military Academies
Each branch of the military maintains its own academy for the purpose of recruiting and training a competent officer class. These officers are drawn primarily from a Rutanian social group called the Junkers.

Bozarburg Army Academy is the Army's primary academy. It is one of the premier higher education institutions in all of Rutania. Lt. Col. Robert Spitz is the commander.

Port Nelson houses the Naval Academy of Rutania, which trains the young men and women of Rutania who wish to sail with the navy. The Junkers exert less influence in the Navy and this tends to be a more open institution. Admiral Eliot Davies is the commander.

The Air Force operates a small academy in Whitefield to recruit and train the future pilots of the Air Force.

Foreign relations
The Commonwealth of Rutania is a party to the following international agreements:
