The Kingdom of Lego has expanded its military forces since the end of the First Regional War.

The Kingdom now has some 600,000 troops, with 350,000 of them in reserve units. It has also acquired or developed new tanks and warplanes.

The expansion of the Royal Armed Forces of Lego (RAFL) was undertaken by the previous Royal Party Government, but the expansion gained momentum with the election victory of the right wing party led by Rito Wingo.

The army now has some 2,500 tanks and 4,000 armoured vehicles, along with between 300-400 artillery pieces.

The air force has about 450 warplanes currently, but it is receiving some 180 new 5th generation warplanes with stealth capability.

As the Kingdom of Lego has the most powerful military force in the region, it has used its military muscle to exert pressure on regional countries.

Prime Minister Wingo has already demanded Equanter and Suva to pay $10 billion Brick Dollars to the Kingdom of Lego to cover the cost of the first regional war. In addition, Wingo has demanded both countries to spend more on defence, especially in buying weapons from the Kingdom of Lego.

Reports indicate that the Kingdom of Lego is working on a demand for war reparation from Malatia amounting to some $25 billion Bricks Dollars. Malatia has rejected such demands, stating that it has lost some 20% of its territory which was annexed by NARTO countries.
