Military strength


Recommended Posts

If I'm trying to draw a up a basic military... would I be wrong with using 1% of population as a base for TOTAL military personnel?

 

After that... what might be a good guideline ratio for combat troops to support personnel in each branch? I'm thinking 25%.

 

Very interested in your thoughts.. especially those with good military knowledge.

I'd rather go for 3% and leave the 5% up to evil nations with an enormous economy.

 

And even if you're a large nation, you're nothing without some sort of industry. A hippy colony of 6 Billion won't stop you when you invade them.

I've drawn up a basic military structure.. if you're ok with a little Godmoding, I've put the current units as either federalized units from the previous Voohabian government (weapons circa 1980), or units from the Northern Voobahian militia that need upgrading (these will be army units)...

 

On that note.. how can you determine is your economy has the funds to support military expansion or upgrades? is it an assumption that you DO have the money? or is there a way to determine a military bedget, since NS doesnt have that option?

use a NS economy calculator and they display your defence budgets and such, that may help. a calculator i like to use is www.sunsetrpg.com/economystatistics.php

thanks... but both show 0 military budger, even though I have went for some expensive military policies...

 

so for now... my military will stay stagnant.. no complaint.

 

Maybe I should go "Costa Rica" and make a constitution amendment outlawing a standing army. lol

How about a section of the police which you can give guns and use as a defense force? That way it comes under law and order rather than defence. If you need guns, check my storefront
