What happens
While various ways to increase the standing army the country could support have been undertaken in the past they have not been sufficient for our needs. Now that our bureaucracy is advanced enough to support a more rigorous system our ruler has drawn up a plan to reshape the old provincial militias and mercenaries entirely.\nThe country will be divided into cantons and each residing male will be expected to enroll in the army. Civilian involvement should remain limited, instead our ruler intends for the military administrators of each regiment to be responsible for recruitment within a Canton.
