      That thing is completely insane. Going by its results, I could have a military 2% of my entire population, with Excellent on every category, and still have points left over.

      Hence, I recommend that we not use it.

        See, that's what you get when you allow players to BS without any basis in reality
        If you can convince several billion people to worship me and obtain a suitable landmass then we'll place a bet on if i can acheive it, because 90% of the nations within this game have no realistic counterpart anyways so there


        Besides stick 50 years on china and they'll have the economy and military to fit, add another 100 years when genetic manipulation has become alot easier and the health problems are mainly solved. All we need then is conscription and voila the Hive is born

            why is your population in the cell only showing such a small number of 430,000,000 when your pop is actually 2.4 bill in the column over to the left

            Nation: Hive
            Population: 430,000,000
            Economy: Frightening
            Technology: Post-Modern
            Defense Spending: Ruled
            Total Points: 34125
            Current Points: 31


            Is that jsut to limit the total avaialble to the army, sorry , just not sure how this excel thing works ....

                It seems he used the 'Add Population' function, which, according to the attached comment, is so that:

                If you do not have Excel and still have the Excel viewer you can use this area to add population so you can still use the spreadsheet. It is limited to multiples of 100 million however.
                In any case, my military came out looking like this. Oddly, with half of Hive's national budget, I outmatch them in every single area.

                  I suspect you are right.

                    Unless we all divide our population figure by a million.

                        Only through peace and compassion a stable empire or nation can be achieved. Name me one nation that has been stable for a long time by opressing it's people or by centring all power arround one individual. Their are non. Don't try to say the egyptians because this is not true, their culture was more complex then a simple dictatorship.
                        You a most benevolent chairman Lazarus name China as a supreme power but is it not so that China is opening her border for capitalist influences. Has China not recently recognised private property. The seeds for a capatalist system are their. China will grow in power that is true. A superpower yes but a Hivian dictatorship or goverment structure is just to unlikely.
                        True strenght lays in happiness fredom and respect and ofcours in compassion.

                            The calculation of the (former) ACAB military (GT will remember) was enough to prove to me that the creator left a lot to be desired.
