Military Forces
Emberwood Coast's military is extremely technologically advanced, taking scientific ideas from the 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.
Command
There are two corps of military forces in Emberwood; Domestic and Foreign. The Domestic corps is tasked with defending the nation itself, while Foreign forces fulfill combat orders in other nations and theaters of combat.
Intercontinental Ballistics and Orbital Weaponry
The nation has a strong stockpile of older ICBM technology left over from the Morstaybishlian and Norogradian empires. Besides those, the nation's defense laboratories, spearheaded by the Department of Strategic Defense Technology, or DSDT ("Dis-dat") have been developing advanced warheads capable of far more damage than the aging 40-year-old stockpile of warheads the nation would otherwise implement. To defend against foreign attacks, four high-velocity magnetic rail impact cannons (railguns) are installed at each military installation in the Coast, and are believed to be able to intercept any incoming ballistic attack.

As said by Secretary Lance Ikalima upon passage of the Nuclear Deterrence Act, "Pursuant to item #021 of the Military Deterrence Act, this normally peaceful nation has diverted a modest proportion of our space program's funds into the development of orbital weaponry. Should the need arise, the nation is prepared to use these systems, as well as more conventional systems located in strategic points within our earthly borders. This nation asks that all countries abide by World Assembly statutes on peace and engagement. Refusal to do so will result in your obliteration.
If you test us, you will fail."
