National Service in Constancia

National Service in Constancia generally refers to the system of conscription within the Imperial State of Constancia.

Background

Upon assumption into office of Primo de Aguilar as Autokrator of Constancia, an Autokratorial Decree ensured that every Constancian national was enlisted in the Imperial Constancian Army upon their 18th birthday, and assigned to a unit, if they were not otherwise previously-enlisted or commissioned in another branch of the Imperial Constancian Armed Forces or the State Protection Authority. This bureaucratic undertaking was serviced by the Military Chancellery, in coordination with the Ministry of Defense. A minimum of two years active duty service is mandated, with reservist status liability until their 50th year of age.

Operationalization

Dependent on their registered residence, conscripts are usually assigned to one of the units of the Home Guard: 504th (Prosgeiosi Basileus) Army, 505th (Aqabah Province) Army, 506th (Molivadia Province) Army, 507th (Nivardom Province) Army, 508th (Raspur Khanate) Army, 510th (Shahzamin) Army, or 511th (Razjania) Army.

In accordance with another Autokratorial Decree, employees of the ESB Group are automatically enlisted or commissioned in the 1634th ESB-Jörmungandr Division, 505th (Aqabah Province) Army during the course of their employment. Civil servants are also provided commensurate rank in accordance with their present appointments.

Completion of national service is generally a requirement before the issuance of a passport, although annual deferments can be provided due to reasons such as schooling. Overseas training in Raspur Pact armed forces may also be credited as part of active service duty.
