MessageCitizens should be able to enrol in the armed forces through choice, not because they have to. This would ensure that during times of military conflict we would only have the most committed fighting for our country.

MessageGod forbid, if we did have a military conflict, we would need more than the most committed serving. We can not assume that we would have the numbers we need if only people enrolled by choice. There should always be the option to have a draft.

Random fact: Did you know you can change the official name of your nation? All you need to do is draw up a new name that is in accordance with the Nation Renaming Guide, pass a bill proposing the name change with a two-thirds majority and then post a request to Moderation on the "Renaming Requests" thread. You can change city and region names in this way too.
