Xiomeran Imperial Armed Forces

The Xiomeran Imperial Armed Forces are the military forces of the Xiomeran Empire. They consist of five service branches: the Army, the Navy, the Aerospace Force, the Coast Guard and the Special Forces. The Emperor or Empress of Xiomera (currently Calhualyana) serves as the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces. Military policy is formed by the ruler, in cooperation with the Prime Minister of Xiomera and the Ministry of Defense.

The Imperial Armed Forces are one of the largest military forces in the IDU, both by personnel and by equipment. They also constitute the largest portion of the Imperial budget and constitute a 9.4% share of Xiomera's GDP as of 2023. Since taking control of Xiomera in 2020, the government of Empress Calhualyana has steadily increased Xiomeran military spending.

Mission

The mission of the Imperial Armed Forces is defined as:

• Preserving the security, territorial integrity and sovereignty of the Xiomeran Empire;
• Supporting national defense and foreign policy initiatives and objectives;
• Protecting Imperial trade, commerce and citizens throughout the IDU;
• Defeating any domestic or foreign entities that endanger the security of the Xiomeran Empire

Structure

The chain of command in the Xiomeran military flows from the Empress to the Minister of Defense. The Xiomeran General Staff, consisting of the head of each branch of service, is the senior-most military body in the Armed Forces. The Chief of the General Staff is chosen by the Minister of Defense from the General Staff, and sits on the Imperial Security Council. The Empress, Prime Minister, Minister of Defense, Minister of Security and Minister of Loyalty also sit on the Imperial Security Council, which is the chief body advising the Empress on national security, defense and foreign policy.

The Xiomeran military itself is broken down into several commands, each focusing on a specific area of the IDU.

• Gold Command: focuses on Xiomera, the Huenyan subcontinent and eastern Caxcana. Its headquarters is in Tlālacuetztla at the Empress Camaxtica Military Headquarters Complex.
• Red Command: focuses on Hesperida and the eastern oceans of the IDU. Its headquarters is at the Henayuco Joint Self-Defense Base south of Grapevale, Kerlile.
• Blue Command: focuses on Liberalia and the central oceans of the IDU. Its headquarters is in Tlālacuetztla at the Empress Camaxtica Military Headquarters Complex.
• Green Command: focuses on Neria and the western oceans of the IDU. Its headquarters is at the Tehimec Joint Self-Defense Base in Iskiram.
