Military
The high regard of personal civil rights has extended into a certain patriotic fevor amongst the people to protect their rights from outside aggressions. They also view their lives as morally correct and any trampling of civilian rights to live as they please as evil. Along with the right to bear arms, there is an unoffical militia amongst the populace, majority of members being ex-military. Incase of invasion, they can support Bustian troops and form resistance cells in enemy occupied territory.
The Allied States military is actually a congolomerate of mercenaries. These "mercenaries" are home grown Bustian citizens with a desire to protect their country. Some become career soldiers and some just serve for a tour of five years (includes the "Hades Twelve") to earn citizenship. The Allied States military rejects no one from joining. The Allied States Army, Allied States Navy, Allied States Air Force, Allied States Marines and Allied States Stragetic Force have cornered the market in providing a unified national military congolomerate for the Allied States.
In addition the military offers many job training programs that are taught to soldiers for their service in the military. These skills are useful and highly regarded outside of the military in many different areas of the job market.
