The Hallowanian military is the main defense system of the Deisnan Republic of Halloway, and an utopia for unemployed undergraduates. The Military does its best to maintain order around the 33 States of Halloway.

History
The Hallowanian Military system was formed in 1899 AD (1 HE) after becoming independent from Hateg. At that time, Military service was compulsory for people from 18-30 years of age. This system was not very well received, but it was accepted by people of the era. However, this system could not stand the test of time, as in 1921 AD (23 HE) there were severe riots against this Military system, especially from youngsters. Thus, the Military was no longer compulsory.

As the years passed, the number of Troops sharply dropped - In 1930 AD (32 HE) it was 365290 people, in 1950 AD (52 HE) it was 302978, in 1970 AD (72 HE) it was 184974, and in 1990 AD (92 HE) the number dropped to a scandalously low 90498 people. this was because Hallowanians were and still are major cowards, and are afraid the military might kill them. So the system suffered yet another major reform in 1991 AD (93 HE), the Military was now open to anyone who can join, wages are much higher, and training isn't as rough.

The new system was well received by Hallowanians, especially by under-graduates and low class people. These of all people would make 95% of the hallowanian Military in 2011 AD (113 HE), especially because the pay is very high, around 2250 HKR for recruits. Today, this system still stands, and the military is now considered a "poor man's job".

Divisions
The Hallowanian military is divided into 3 sections:


 * Infantry
 * Land Troops are sorted in this category. Soldiers can drive tanks and fight land battles.


 * Navy
 * Naval Troops are sorted in this category, though only Soldiers or higher ranks can join the navy. Warships, submarines and coastal guards are part of the navy.


 * Air Force
 * Air forces are sorted in this category, though only Soldiers or higher ranks can join the Air force. Airplanes and Missile turrets are part of the Air Force.

Ranks
There are only 4 Ranks in Hallowanian military, Rookie, Soldier, Veteran, and Commander (otherwise known as General).

Rookies
Rookies are the newcomers of the military. They are made of only undergraduated and poor people who desperately need a job and will do anything to get one. These people learn how to fight with guns and armor vests, they train 4 hours per day, and often patrol around their home states. Rookies get 2250 HKR per month, and constitute 45% of the whole army. They wield whatever they are given, but can't drive tanks nor sail boats. They only belong in the Infantry division.

Soldiers
Soldiers are properly trained people of the Military. People who take a militaristics course wind up here in this immediatly. At this point, a soldier can choose to stay in the Infantry, or go to the Navy or the Air force. These people continue training and are often part of border patrols or intervention squads. Soldiers get 4000 HKR per month, and constitute 45% of the whole army. They can wield whatever they wish.

Veterans
Veterans are the better people of the Military. They have proven their worth a few times in their carreer, and thus are treated with greater prestige. These people often partake in the more special missions of the Military, such as defending the President, or stopping a terrorist attack. Soldiers get 6500 HKR per month, and constitute 9.6% of the Hallowanian army. They can wield whatever they wish.

Commanders
Commanders, otherwise known as Generals, have done great services for the nation in war, and are the highest ranked people of the military. The order troops to do what they feel that has to be done, and are present in every situation. Commanders have good talent, and are very tough in battle. Commanders get 11000 HKR per month, and constitute the last 0.4% of the Hallowanian army. Tlaaz is the most well known Commander.
