      • You have to enter your population in millions. So you would enter 2862.
        Theres two definitions of a billion though, 10 to power of 9 or 12, depending if you're using american or old british.
        Learn to overcome the crass demands of flesh and bone, for they warp the matrix through which we perceive the world. Extend your awareness outward, beyond the self of body, to embrace the self of group and the self of humanity. The goals of the group and the greater race are transcendant, and to embrace them is to acheive enlightenment.

            • Are you going to include anything about fundamentalist nations?
              I believe that that should be a factor.

              • My view is neither space program nor compulsory military service would have an impact on the size of the standing military. The former means the military has higher technology, thus a greater strength, and the latter means the country could raise troops faster, particularly while defending an invasion.

                • Good point.

                  I'd add that having a fundamentalist government would only help in raising an army quickly, if that.

                  • yeah i wasnt 100% convinced aboiut the space program i will probably remove that . the only reason i see a benifit of comp service is that you will have a much larger group to draw yuor troops from so can maintian the size you want by simply putting them in .. with voluntary armys you may hav eless volunteers than you need.


                    of course the effectivenes of conscripts is probably lower than of volunteers so probalby cancles out th ebonus of larger forces...


                    as for fundamentalism i not sure that sreaming fanatics with guns ar ea match for armys, but i open to others thoughts...

                    • And to Ras, too. Good work trying to get a workable system put together. I have my doubts about whether we'll succeed to everyone's liking, but it's worth a shot.

                        • Say, what's the population I should use for Azan? the New Azan I opened is just starting to grow, but that's not right. Azan used to have hundreds of millions of people...

                            • I'd say Azan is a special case. Roleplay what you think is left over from the Old Republic, and any new forces you at to that should be based on New Azan numbers (or New Azan + Former Azan).

                              • It gave me around a million for the original stats.

                                Anyway, I think we should have some other stuff.

                                Number of people in the military, number of armor, number of planes, naval power, stuff like that.
