The Monsilvan Armed Forces (Monsilvan: 山国国军; pinyin: Shānguó Guójūn) are the armed forces responsible for the defense of the Monsilvan Republic. They consist of the Army, Navy, Marine Corps and the Air Force.
Originally established as the Royal Armed Forces in 1830, as a successor to the armed personnel that formed the Liberate Monsilva Movement which overthrew the Kingdom of Great Shan at the end of the Monsilvan Civil War. It served as the armed forces of the Kingdom of Monsilva from its establishment until the Monsilvan Republic was formed in 1978. Until 1963, the armed forces served as responsible forces for the defense of the country as well as assisting in international and domestic humanitarian crises or disaster relief. However with the establishment of martial law in Monsilva in 1963, the military gained a new purpose as the principal force for policing the citizens of Monsilva.
During the martial law period from 1963 to 1978, many military personnel abandoned the armed forces out of protest against their position as a police force. This was possible with minimal punishment until 1967, when abandoning the armed forces became an act of treason, which was punishable by death. Many members of the forces during this period abused their position of power which resulted in thousands of unnecessary arrests and hundreds of unnecessary executions during the martial law period. In 1975, with the clear development of a resisting force against the military lead government, many armed forces personnel defected to help form the Monsilvan Revolutionary Army which would eventually fight against the armed forces during the Monsilvan Revolution and in 1978 during the mass protests.
Since 1978, the armed forces have returned to their role as defense forces and as promoters of Monsilva's interests in humanitarian aid and disaster relief across Monsilva and Terraconserva.

Notes
- ↑ De jure the government has the ability to introduce compulsory military service at any time independent of whether Monsilva is at peace or not. However when conscription ended in Monsilva in 2008, the government said that Monsilva would never re-implement it for as long as the country was at peace.
- ↑ From 1978 until 2008, 6 month compulsory military service was still in place which resulted in many people being placed in the reserve forces after their service. Although in 2008 the people who had entered the reserves through this system were given permission to leave, many did not which has lead to a large number of reserve forces remaining today.
