In proportion to its population, Taiwan still maintains a large military establishment. Defense expenditures account for 2.69% of GDP in 2007, and the 2008 central budget proposal increases defense expenditures to 3% of GDP. The military's primary mission is the defense of Taiwan against the P.R.C., which is seen as the predominant threat and which has not renounced the use of force against Taiwan. Taiwan's armed forces were reduced as part of a reform initiative from 1997 to 2001, going from about 450,000 to 385,000, with further reductions since then bringing the total force level down to just under 300,000. Registered reservists reportedly totaled 3,870,000 in 1997. Conscription remains universal for qualified males between the ages of 18 and 30.

KMT (Keep Money out of Taiwan) Party: This is by far the smallest of the parties that exist on the empire. It advocates the reannexation with China with Taiwan taking over as the leaders of China. This was the leading party until most of the members fled to Venus. It is still known why they have such hatred towards Kentucky Fried Chicken. Rumors are often heard how the fact that Chiang Kai-Shek did not like Kentucky Fried Chicken being the source of hatred. KMT therefore is a useless corrupt party.

Taiwan issues police certificates, although the information is not always comprehensive. Also, legislation is pending in Taiwan that will cause criminal convictions resulting in a penalty of a fine, probation, a suspended sentence, or a sentence of less than two years be deleted from a person's criminal record. Crimes committed by juveniles are not part of the criminal record. Therefore, under the new legislation, a police clearance certificate will not show these convictions. Crimes relevant to visa issuance may be included in those that may not be shown on a person's police clearance certificate. Conversely, convictions, once part of a person's record, remains in the person's record indefinitely.
