This formula.

Ah ha. I didn't see it before

[Urban Ranger]

Some of you people are warmongers Even the PRC, with 1.2 billion people, has an army of 4 million strong.

[GeneralTacticus]

What does the PRC need a huge army for anyway? They'd just be a drain on the economy.

Anyway, the Centralis population figure should be updated, as it's now 305 million.

Special Notes:
The total Buget for The Federation of Eation is 6.4 trillion Credits. The Defense buget is 25% of this and is 1.615 trillion Dollars, 149 billion of which goes toward R and D in millitary technology. The Draft is only used when nation is at war and dire need of troops. Other wise the millitary is voluntary and is always looking for new recuits.

Nimitz you forgot to take out the name of my nation and put in your in the Special Note section. I see that many are copying my format of posting miltary stats.

[Urban Ranger]

Why do so many countries have hundreds of ICBMs? The US has something like 1200, but none of us has the economic strength nor the need for that.

[Jack_www]

We keep them for a deterent against other nations using them on us. Besides we only have 200 ICBMs, and have a population of 200 million, and a defense buget of over 300 billion, I think we can afford them. Allthough they are mostly keep around because our leaders just like the power the represent and like to have the power of being able to destroy an entire nation with the single order, allthough it will never be given.

He just doubled all your stats

Some of your nations have far too much army

Acuatlly it is 10 times the amount of troops I have. Not dubled.
Does anyone think my stats are unrealistic?

[Nimitz]

I've changed the stats some are doubled, some are other, and one 10X and I've been building my military from the start and once prepared for war with an unknown threat.

Somehow I think that both your and Nimitz are a bit overpriced... for example- the cost of just maintaining 1 soldier in the US is at least 40K a year for current salaries- plus at least another 20-40K for supplies (yearly) and weapons servicing.

Plus a donation of 100 dollars per soldier to the veterans fund...

and then equipment costs A LOT OF MONEY

plus the sheer expense of R&D... although I noticed you took that into consideration

Frankly, I think that it would probably be best if you both scaled back a bit

You don't have to, but that's just my suggestion, even if you are warmongers- because people need food producers, and if too many people are in the military there is no economy, etc.

...Just my views

Summation
Iguana Fire's military is vastly underfunded, receiving 5% of the year's budget of 240 billion Ã... or an average of 12 billion a year; vastly increased from last year’s incomes of 600 million a year. This is sufficient to support the existing structures and expand slightly.

Recently, a new resolution to increase the military might of Iguana Fire was passed- raising the military’s funding from 0.5% a year to 5% a year. Nevertheless, the military is still underfunded.

Also recently, Iguana Fire’s Emperor, His Excellency Komnenus IV has declared that Iguana Fire increase production of Chemical Warheads. Currently Iguana Fire ramps out 3 Chemical Warheads a year; but is considering increasing its capacity; government personnel seeking out bids from all the top corporations.

There are on a gunboat- roughly 5-35 positions on a Gecko-Class Gunboat; and on a transport there are about 10-100 positions on a Class A Transport. Therefore; the Navy, needing twice the number of members to man the ships to serve them and store them; requires double the amount needed for any one gunboat.
Thereby making the calculation for Naval Enlistees. The number of support personnel is in brackets.

The I-Corps are Iguana Fire’s elite troops; trained to blend in with the surrounding populations and carry secret chemical and Biological weapons on their person; ready to unleash them in times of war. They are also well trained in the arts of making their own chemical and biological weapons as well as being trained in four forms of personal combat.

Monentary Summation
Each person in Iguana Fire makes an average of 100,000Ã a year... and at 10% tax rate, each pays 10,000Ã in taxes; therefore the government earns 240,000,000,000Ã a year.
