  Among the solutions of string theory and supergravity which preserve some
fraction of supersymmetry, the best known are those that leave one half of the
supersymmetry unbroken, and there is a large number of field theory models with
this pattern of supersymmetry breaking. However, a lot of brane configurations
exist which preserve only $1/4$, $1/8$ or more exotic fractions of
supersymmetry, and field theory side of these systems remains largely
unexplored. To find whether the formalism of nonlinear realizations is useful
in construction of models of this type, we consider the systems of some $N_0$
scalar and vector $N=1$, $d=3$ Goldstone supermultiplets. We find that it is
possible to construct an $SO(N_0)$ invariant theory of $N_0$ scalar multiplets
with $N_0$ broken supersymmetries. For $N_0=3$ or $N_0\geq 5$ its action is not
of Nambu-Goto type and its structure remains universal for arbitrary $N_0$. The
cases of $N_0=1,2$ correspond to the membranes in $D=4$ and $D=5$,
respectively, while for $N_0=4$ some arbitrariness in the action remains, and
with proper choice of parameters, it is possible to obtain the action of the
membrane in $D=7$ in the bosonic limit. It is also shown that the $SO(N_0)$
invariant action of $N_0$ vector multiplets with $1/N_0$ pattern of
supersymmetry breaking does not exist for arbitrary $N_0$.
