Military[edit | edit source]

The military of Eilat is responsible for defending the people, and borders of the nation. The EDF has consistently been ranked as the most battle ready army in the world. It was founded in 1952, at the beginning of the Eilai War of Independence, mainly consisting of Jewish militants. At the conclusion of the state of war in 1956, the militias were reorganized into the Eilat Defense Force by the prime minister. From 1963 to 1983 it served as the main peace keeping force within Eilat, due to tense conflicts between religious and ethnic groups. In 1970 the EDF invaded the Republic of Abbasid, as part of a plan to overthrow President Faisal and restore the Abbsaidi monarchy. Although the Eilai forces captured Rashaya and successfully prevented an invasion of Eilat, it failed to achieve the main goals of the war. The failure of the EDF led to the rise of right wing politicians that engaged in the rapid modernization of the military, while also setting off an arms race with the Republic of Abbasid.

The arms race ended with the restoration of Abbasid's monarchy in 1982, but the EDF continued it's expansion. Eilat is now considered a regional power, rivaling that of Abbasid, with the potential to become a great power. Eilat has the world's highest GDP to military expenditure in the world. Most Eilai, men and women, are drafted into the army at age 18, due to conscription. The large population imbalance between Eilat and it's neighbors (especially Abbasid) has created the need for a large military force as a deterrent. As a result, the EDF maintains a active force of 300,000 soldiers, with over 750,000 reservists.

Due to Eilat's relatively isolated position after the invasion of Abbasid, it produces 90% of the high tech military gear used by it's military. In 2009 the country launched the Iron Arrow anti-ballistic missile system, one of the few operation systems in the world. In 1996 Eilat and Abbasid successfully formed the joint Alaam space program, launching their first reconnaissance satellite, while greatly increasing their cooperation. Peace and stability in Hedjaz is highly dependent on the relationship between Eilat and Abbasid. Since the beginning of the 21st century the two countries have stepped up their effort to maintain close relations with each other and maintain Hedjaz's peaceful enviorment.
