The Prevanian armed forces contain five sections:

1. The Prevanian Army – The army is so small for such a large nation as not only is Prevania an island so its leadership vests its defence in other sections but the army was also decimated by the Prevanian Revolutionary Air Fleet during the Oligarchic revolution lead by Air Admiral Boris Berenovski. It consists of about 200,000 personnel, of which half are support, and 500 armoured vehicles (100 T-95s, 200 Boxer MRAVs).
2. The Prevanian Air Marines - The Air Marinies are the main Prevanian infantry organisation. It was founded in 1985 by Direktor Boris Berenovski afteer he smashed the Prevanian Army. There are 1 million men in 100 battalions, 20 of which are logistics.
3. The Prevanian Air Force – The air force is of a reasonable size and many of the aircraft are sourced from Russia. There are 30 MiG 35 fighter squadrons, 20 Su 34 ground-attack squadrons, 15 Tu-160 bomber squadrons and one experimental relativity drive unit (each squadron contains 10 aircraft). The air force also has a helicopter force of 20 Mi-28 Havocs and 50 Mil Mi-26s.
4. The Prevanian Navy – As Prevania is on an island, the navy is a priority. It contains 500 ships, including 3 V/STOL Comrade Class carriers (HDS Trotsky, HDS Lenin and HDS Stalin), 9 cruisers, 81 destroyers and 3 nuclear submarines. With the exception of the Submarine HDS Resolute, all the ships have been made in Prevania.
5. The Prevanian Air Fleet – Prevania is unique in that it is one of only a scant few countries that have a military arm dedicated to rigid airships. Prevanian Aerospace and the German-speaking Pacific Zepplins conglomerate are the main suppliers for the fleet. It comprises of some 144 rigid airships which are mainly used for attack, reconnaissance, command and transport. The 85 attack airships are divided up into four air groups, each lead by one of the four immense 800m Admiral Class missile aero-cruisers:

• Air Group Alpha (HDAS Scheer)
• Air Group Beta (HDAS Hood)
• Air Group Gamma (HDAS Nelson)
• Air Group Delta (HDAS Holtzendorff)
