The security of the young Republic is safeguarded by three seperate institutions, each under the direct supervision of the Magistrate. The Volksarmee (People's Army), the armed forces, is the largest of these. Tasked with Border control, safeguarding Kasterburger settlements and operating as a standing army in case of war, it is the primary defense force of the nation. The Beschutting (Roughly translated as Guarding) is the national office for state security, as well as the department of intelligence.
This office is of paramount importance, considering the fact that Kasterburg is bordered by larger countries such as Shireroth, Jingdao and Kalgachia and as such has to find a crucial diplomatic balance. The final institution is the Landswacht, the national police force that is mostly confined to the city of Kasterburg and surrounding area.
To secure its existence in a dangerous and politically complicated part of the world, the Republic of Kasterburg has begun production of so-called weapons of mass destruction. Details of the weapon programme, called "Zwaard der Wrake" (Sword of Revenge) are unknown and classified, but the programme is rumoured to contain both the development of biological weaponry, as well as establishing a nuclear capacity.
In addition to national security forces, Kasterburg has welcomed support from Kalgachia to counter the threat posed by the Tee-Al.
