Average annual rainfall in the lowlands varies from 1,780–3,175 millimeters (70–125 in), and up to 6,100 millimeters (240 in) in mountainous regions. Mountainous areas receive the highest rainfall.

Armed forces divisions:

Marines: Unlike most countries, The Republic of Yawoo does not consider its main infantry force as an 'army' but rather as a Marine force due to the geography of the country's region.

Army: The Republic of Yawoo's army is for home defense only. Its only purpose is to defend and secure the nation's sovereign holdings.

Navy: The Yawooian Navy is top of the line and is responsible for securing the nation's water passages as well as commercial and private shipping lanes. Because the nation is made of many islands, the navy is regularly on patrol throughout the region checking in on all islands.

Airforce: Air superiority and defense above sovereign Yawooian territory is a must, therefore the country's Airforce has many hidden bases throughout the islands especially in the more mountainous regions in order to best protect the nation.

The M136 AT4 is the Republic of Yawoo's primary light anti-tank weapon. The M136 AT4 is a recoilless rifle used primarily by Infantry Forces for engagement and defeat of light armor.
