Arsytian Workers' Army

The Arsytian Workers' Army (Arsytian: Arsyten Työväen Armeija), more commonly known as simply the Workers' Army, is the military force of Arsytia. With almost 2.5 million active uniformed personnel, the Workers' Army is the largest military in the Tavaric Treaty Organization, and the second-largest in the world, second to the Vermilion Banner Armies of Phoenicia. The Workers' Army is overseen by the Chairman of the Revolutionary War Council, with day-to-day authority exercised through the War Office and the War Commissar. The General Staff exercises operational command of all branches and carries out the orders of the Chairman and the War Commissar.

Originating as a group of loosely-organized revolutionary militias, the Workers' Army is mandated by the Arsytian Constitution to "defend the Arsytian socialist revolution". The Workers' Army consists of, in their official order of importance, the Land Forces, the Air Forces, the Fleet, and the Atomic Forces.

The Workers' Army has traditionally been a major influence on Arsytian politics—it controls the largest single delegation in the Workers' General Council, and its power has been reinforced by Arsytia's participation in two Great Wars as well as the pressures of the Cold War against Phoenicia and its allies in the GOCE. Accordingly, military industries have historically been accorded high priority in Arsytian economic planning and Arsytia's military strength has been consistently enhanced and maintained with a steady arms buildup and conscription.
