SiWallqanqan Protection Force

The organised military and intelligence forces of the State of SiWallqanqa the Great. It's annual budget is around 1.2 billion USD (what is the comparable worldwide currency?)

Capital Air Command

Equipment
The majority of SiWallqanqan equipment is locally produced, based on long-standing designs, as per the production doctrine of "Old Dog, New Tricks". However under recommendations of military advisors, the SPF has procured orders of Veikaian and Tiberico equipment, both weapons and vehicles, to supplement the aging but modernized native equipment.

Weapons
† Being gradually phased out

Military Doctrine
The combat/fighting doctrine of the SiWi military, is based on its experiences, which has mostly been with: low intensity, prolonged, assymetric, resource control, counter-insurgency or counter-guerrilla conflicts/warfare. They have little experience in full scale modern conflicts, but the doctrine for that matches the existing combat doctrine.

The Liquid State Siege
To take control of resources, water sources, food supplies, factories/munitions depots and roads. Then to sit in fortified defensive positions, and wait until the enemy is exhausted or depleted, then move for peace talks and surrenders. And if it eventually comes to it, complete annihilation of surviving enemy positions and members.

This doctrine is called the "Liquid State Siege", in reference to the fundamental state of matter, liquid, as it is a fluid siege that expands to cover the entire AOE. -this is in comparison to SiWi understanding of "Gaseous State Siege" (guerrilla warfare, less of a siege and more of moving to control resources only when preventing the enemy from taking them) and "Solid State Siege" (long-term fortifications designed to hold an enemy in a particular area).

It is part of the SiWallqanqan philosophy that the goal in war is not to destroy your enemy, but to reach a favourable and peaceful conclusion. As such, this doctrine aims to end the conflict with as few combat deaths as possible.

Water Control
Control of water sources is a major facet of the SiWi doctrine, as people cannot live, let alone fight, without water. They even developed chemical agents that can poison or render water sources unusable, and have methods to reverse this process once they control the water source again.

Ironically, for one of the most environmentally aware and friendly nations on the planet, they are also one of the main ones to use precision environmental control and damage, to deny and harm their enemies. -thermal pollution to destroy the viability of a river, lake or water source -introduction of nutrients to encourage algal blooms -introduction of chemical agents, to render water pathogenic or biologically harmful -deployment of parasitic organisms to facilitate disease amongst enemy groups, or to put a leash upon potentially rebellious populations

"Old Dog, New Tricks"
The production and design doctrine of the SiWi military, using tried and tested equipment, that is rugged and reliable, with modernization and updating to keep it relevant. Basically, refitting and repurposing older equipment with new functions, forms, usability and settings. A lot of the weapons used were designed in the 40s/50s, but were forward thinking in the powerful cartridges used, enabling them to continue their penetration and stopping power. Modernization, upgrading cartridges, training and the reputation of these weapons.

National Intelligence Organisation
(basically the CIA of SiWallqanqa)(mostly foreign affairs, not exactly good at it, most of the foreign intelligence community consider them a joke, and they are the smallest and least funded of the Intelligence Services of SiWallqanqa

Reconnaissance and Signals Intelligence Unit
(the NRO and NGA), basically sattelleite intelligence, recon planes, computer surveillance and SIGINT

Financial and Criminal Investigations Unit
(basically the FBI, the domestic crime and financial crime fighting and intelligence unit, will co-opt military units for their needs, but mostly investigative)

The War on Drugs
We're losing, really badly, like, we say we're doing alright, to keep up the image to the public, but its honestly not looking good. I mean seriously, if you go up north, in some places, there will be whole fields of opium poppies or coca, for heroin and cocaine, just growing in the open, and noone will do anything against it, because of the drug gangs in the area scare them, even the communist groups have taken to selling the stuff in order to fund their activities. And according to recent reports, filed by the Tiperyn police, the Soldiers of Goidelia have also been active in the region, seeking to establish a drug route to Tiperyn
