The Royal Army of Waffleland is the national army of Waffleland. Surprisingly, in terms of number and training, they are one of the best. Conscription is compulsory and every citizen over 10 years old (for under 10s they must lie about their age - yes this is law) must serve ten tours of duty during his life time. An alternative is joining any other branch of the military. At war every conscript is enrolled into the army and sent to fight the enemy. It is one of the four branches of the Waffleland military, the others being the Royal Navy of Waffleland (RNW), the Lolmarines of Waffleland (LW) and the Waffleland Air Force of ROFLCOPTERs and other Flying Spaghetti Monsters (WAFRFSM). There are trained professionals in the army as well but they form a small minority.
