Regiment Central

The central headquarters of the Free Society's Ministry of Defense.

In order to get a better grasp on our military capabilities (and help everyone get a little more involved in the role-playing aspect) I'd like everyone to list their military capabilities here. List like this:

Army Infantry: (list professional soldiers, conscripts, if any, reservists)
Army Mobile Artillery: (tanks, artillery, troop transports, ect)
Naval Ships: (how many of what kind of ships, and how many sailors for each ship)
Naval Aircraft:
Airforce: (How many of what kind of aircraft and pilots)

List total active, total reserve, and total mechanized units, and any sort of creative specialties from your nation, including nuclear capabilities.

Here's a forum to help:

Also, you should limit your Total Active to about 3-4%, reserves to 1%, and give information about conscription (how long and what ages) or draft (how many could you draft) Don't allow total numbers after a draft to exceed 8%, which is what it was for the US throughout WW2.

Any more than that would lead to a depopulated country, civil unrest and a failing economy.

Take some time, do some research, and be creative and reasonable. This isn't something you have to throw together in 15 minutes. We'll set the deadline at next Wednesday.

How is size of the military determined?

However you want. If you were running a country(which you are) what would you want it to be. How much of your population do you wanna tie up in the military? Given your country's history, including conflicts, vicories and losses, civil uprisings, governments, ect, what kind would you have?
IE Japan lost WW2 after a big build up, now they have none. US has large one as reminent from a century of war and the Cold War. Germany has a substantial military, even though they lost, ect.


Look at your country description for a little help (mine told me I Aidsboat has compulsory military service.

here a lot of the equipment is spare my country can't quickly produce that stuff so we hold it in mass. this is doesn't include defense structures like turrets and similar sites which are police and civilan run and are found in much of country. also many of the numbers are categories that list totals the forum just "fixes" my bullet spacing

Good Work!! First Military Listing....and what a fearsome one it is

i know my military is very large for a nation of my size but you see in my country's stats military is huge part of government spending.

i had it all spaced out in a bullet format but game auto "fixed it"

Do transport vehicles need to be listed?

If they are property of your armed forces.

i just added them with my supply transports it is easier that way
