  • I must agree many military stats are way off, I hope you guys were not refering to me, after all I'm 13th in Defence Per Capita spending and my economy level generally goes up and down between All-Consuming and Powerhouse.

    If you were instead refering to m as well, tell me where you think I exaggerated and I'll reduce that branch.

    P.S.
    Sheep, I do agree with Archaich your military is a bit too much, espacially considering your nations are rather young, and that you have just got out from an occupation by another country, therefore you had to rebuild your military from scratches in there.

    Please be reasonable my friend, you are asking too much from your country, if you continue like this it will collaspe in a very short time.

      I thought his navy is implausibly large. Haven't checked the rest of the numbers, though

      • I have the biggest per capita military, and the largest nation. Mine might be too low, sicne other nations in RP have got higher per capita spending than me, which the game states cannot be true.

        • Are you sure that they have higher per-capita spending? Which nations exactly? By both RP and the statistics, I have the arguably the largest economy in the region, so if you're talking about me, that could account for some of it.

          • Urban I am currently reviewing these.
            Goivanni, Yes indeed however New Sheepsta, has been around for a while now, and the very fact that half the nation was occupied and the fact New Sheepsta is always geared for a war with the potential enemy that Alecrast is, is reason ernough for the dissportinal size of the military. When someone threatens your existence you must take every step possible to deter their motives.

              Not long enough for an army of that size.

              1) Godmod. It was 7/8th. Firing Ignore Cannons!

              2) Godmod. It was not an occupation. Alecrast troops were only ever deployed to protect the borders of the protectorates once "New Sheepsta" rose up, and in the initial administration changeover phase to eliminate the groups loyal to Cardinal Ew. Firing Ignore Cannons!

              It's reason enough to maintain the largest possible armed forces you can maintain. However, your armed forces are too large and too well equipped (In terms of weapons and weapons platforms (ie. Tanks, etc, Naval Vessels and Aircraft, etc) to be maintained by an economy and a population the size of Sheepsta's!

              Exactly our point. You've gone beyond taking every step possible and tried to take impossible steps.

              • But the problem is that a military buildup against Alecrast would trigger a military buildup by Alecrast, and by the Treaty of Fonseca, and by other nearby nations like Karakas that are closely affiliated with Alecrast. In other words, an arms race.

                Considering that most of those nations are capitalist paradises, would Sheepsta and its allies have the resources to keep up such a race without the bottom falling out of their economies?
                Everything changes, but nothing is truly lost.

                • Ahh but you forget my friend. I have friends in this region and others who can supply me with weapons. Under Lend-Lease agreements. Also the Dominion of Jobedpet where the government of Sheepsta retired to.

                  Also what you call 'protection' I call 'occupation' As I am Sheepsta and you are not, my views on the subject count for more than yours. The protectorates of North and South Sheepsta was a thinly veiled attempt to legitimase your annexation measures.

                      Maybe so, but you still have to be a bit more realistic, taking your population and economy into account. Since Sheepsta is right next to the Dominion of Noosland, we are gravely concerned.

                      • and the other thing I forgot to mention is that by the tiome you started to accuse me of this I had already redifined the numbers. perhaps you need to look again?

                            • Bull**** Sheep. To take one of the possibily more extreme examples, Neveria has over 1/36th of its entire population in the army alone!?!?! (ie. Not counting the Navy or Air Force.) If you think this is an acceptable figure, then go back to the hospital and have your head examined again.

                              • I forgot to add that the populations are not updated there. Also If you forget Australia with a population of 4 million in 1900 they had an armed forces of 100,000. Work that out will ya. It would be about the same.

                                AND WILL YOU STOP DISPUTING EVERYTHING I DO. If someone else does I will listen, but you seem toi do just because I did it, so I am going to Ignore your objections.
