UR: Please remeber this is not the place for discussion. Also, how does he pay for it: with 8.5% of his tax, and 1.7 Billion people. There is no such UN treaty passed since Marijuania joined. Indeed, Akiria has a weapons contract to supply the ISS, a UN initiative.

Akiria has a weapons contract to supply the ISS

As do we. Its 1.8 billion people btw

. IIRC, the treaty only affected those nations already in the UN, and only to do with nukes being detonated in space. Otherwise, it would ban ICBM's too.

Drogue · June 10, 2003, 15:37

elijah: No you don't. The ISS was set up before Marijuania existed. If you mean the Apolyton Space Station, then we both do, although I believe them signing it with you makes mine void, and thus I will stop supplying. The ISS was a UN resolution from before Christmas, and the first that passed when Akiria joined the UN, before any other Apolyton Nation.

Whaleboy · June 10, 2003, 16:14

I know we supplied some weapons and armour modules to the station that have been there for "years" (ooc: about 2/3 weeks). This was a one off thing mind, so if you have a long term thing I would guess its unaffected. Marijuania and thus now the LF has specialities in very high altitude weaponry, and linking with sensory systems that no other nation as yet has, so providing such a one off weapons systems is logical.

Nonetheless, I dont think we're meant to talk here, PM me if you want to continue this.

Whaleboy · June 13, 2003, 09:02

ooc: Ummm, Sheep, those are massive armies according to the size of your nations, and as such would end up destroying your economies, and thus you physically wouldnt be able to muster those forces. Some of those aspects for Sheepsta are bigger than the LF, and the LF is nearly four times larger than Sheepsta.

Please revise.

A reasonable size for a military that wont crush the economy and viability of your nation is less than 15% of tax spending, which reasonably would equate to about 1-2% of GDP at most (talk to Drogue about that though). A very massive army would be about 1% of population, or 3/4% of able male population. That includes ALL military personel, including reserves, full timers, spec ops, navy, airforce etc etc.

For example, Pax Sheepus would have an army that would be almost large enough to cripple that nation economically, if it was 15% the size of what yuo stated. Same with Neveria, Jobedpet and most certainly New Griffith. Again with Sheepsta itself, although it is larger, this would be a reasonable size:

DEMO:
Sheepsta, pop 485million

Total military personel: 0.5% of population, or 2'425'000 people. Out of that, you could perhaps have 2.2 million as your army, the rest being air force and navy.

Your navy could have about a tenth of what you stated.

The airforce, being generous, would be 8-9% of what you stated.

Hope this guide is useful, but DONT take Jackson as your guide for military, if Jackson existed IRL, his nation would have 400% inflation, absolutely no money, and would economically implode, back to the stone age.

Sheep: If you PM either Drogue (as the chairman), myself, or any other member of the military panel (in character), then we can officially prepare a more precise report than I was able to do on my own, although of course you could use the ones I gave but with a greater degree of flexibility.

Drogue · June 23, 2003, 18:00

Please do not discuss here. Sheep, you asked for people to give advice on the Military Stats page, I have posted an example for New Sheepsta. Feel free to use it or not, but that is what I would use if it were my nation. I think it is fair and reasonable to all.
