The Ikaranarean Armed Forces are the collective militant forces of The Federated Empires of Ikaranara.
History
The Ikaranarean Armed Forces had their roots in the Great Revolution as the Revolutionaries. They fought against the Father States. They were comprised of mainly mutineers from the militaries of the Father States, particularly from Narus and Ranaras, where the military people were treated less well than in the former two, and citizen milita. Eventually, with Ikarnian losses in the Great War and the growing unpopularity of the 3 regimes, as well as citizen support for the revolution, the revolutionaries outnumbered the militaries of the three countries, and the Father States finally caved.
Cold War
The Cold War saw the rapid expansion of the Ikaranarean armed forces, particularly in the 1970s-1980s, to better protect Ikaranarean trade interests and enforce its internal sovereignty. This era saw especially the strengthening of the Navy to better protect neutral trading vessels from both Ikaranara and abroad. This also saw the secret Ikaranarean nuclear program, however, Ikaranara preferred to build Tactical Nuclear Weapons over Strategic Nuclear Weapons, only building 3 of the latter, which were silently disbanded in 1998. This Era saw the creation of Sky Control, which controlled internal missile launches as well as the missile defense system, later also taking on the role of Electronic and Cyber warfare.
Modern Era
The Ikaranarean Armed forces largely simply upkept their Cold War advancements during the 2000s and 2010s, with minor modernization going underway. Mainly, the electronic warfare capability of Sky Control was increased. In 2018, Ikaranara started manufacturing 2 out of a planned 4 new aircraft carriers to replace their aging ones from the Cold War. In 2020, Ikaranara started production on the second batch of 2, with the first batch being planned to complete in 2024, the second in 2026. In 2022, After engaging in several military engagements with the Invasion of and War in Past, as well as the Rycco-Cordilian war, Ikaranara raised its military spending to 5% of the GDP.

Their tactics are also linked in depth with deep espionage, all points influenced by Safarkron's "The Practice of Warfare." in 2000, a revision of the Ground Forces was done, and Ikaranara started to pursue a greater combined arms potential, producing tanks, IFVs, and other combat vehicles, as well as increasing the number of aircraft they had. However, by 2010, production had largely slowed down, following a period of relative peace.
