Bilkan Kingdom: Military

Since joining the Rohden Alliance, Bilkan has now managed to muster itself a small navy. Not nearly as impressive as any of the other members, but much more than Bilkan ever used to have. It has no actual army to speak of, although since the aggression from Telish Throne, preparations are now underway to arrange a permanent defense for the kingdom. This has taken some time to get underway, since the mido himself was opposed to the creation of such an army, and rumor has it that it took much pleading from the kagi to get this done.

At this time, the army stands at just over three thousand men of which the meja- is the leader. While the navy takes orders from the Throne, the meja- has the power to discuss it although he does not use it often. The structure of the army is also modeled after other armies, with a command structure that includes lieutenants and privates. In fact, because of outside influences in both the navy and the army, most of the ways and terms of old have died out in the wake of rebuilding and only the titles of the highest ranking officers remain.
