Military

Main Article: Setznan Self Defense Force

The main military force of the Republic of Setzna is the Setznan Self Defense Force, which was formed after the first Civil War. The SSDF was preceded by the Republic Defense Front, which was the leading resistance contingent during the 1st Civil War. Many notable people served in the SSDF including William Verlhan, who is the current president. The military is respected by most citizens in Setzna and has been active in aiding Setznan expansion.

Technology

The Republic of Setzna has a slight advantage over it's neighbors due to having semi-advanced tech. Setzna focuses mainly on a slight balance of civilian and military research, with a lot of funding being put in military research. The SSDFs military technology advantage allows them to have the edge over some larger opponents. But civilian research is slowly getting bigger, pushing Setzna further into the future. Currently, scientists are studying androids from Emberwood Coast and finding ways to improve them, working closely with their Emberitian counterparts. Setzna also has put lots of research into clean energy, with most factories in major industrial zones running on green tech. Holographic displays have also been appearing in big cities such as Risa and Arcadia, creating a mix of big LCD screens in the side of buildings and displays projected in the air.
