2,556,800 soldiers, of from which 767,040 are active.
My military budget is 32% and 0,096% (almost 0,1% of my population) consists of soldiers. That's not pretty much, but yeah, everything is relative.
I'm neutral, since there is no ''fascist'' side.

Some friendly advice... Not exactly.
On NS, there are two trains of thought on how numbers are generally created in regards to even semi realism. The first method, is generally known as the 5% rule. In a nutshell, a nation can have up to 5% of it's total population in it's military before it starts to wreck it's economy and have some serious negative impacts. The flip side however, is that the higher the % in your military, the worse trained and worse equipped they are as you will have less money per person to spend on to train and equip them.
So for example, a nation with <1% in it's military would be armed roughly equivalent to say a first world standard. Where as in comparison 5% is considered North Korean Standard.. and >5% is pretty much African/Somalia militia standard, with zero training and armed with an rifle that has seen better days.
The second method, as previously mentioned, is using a tracker of sorts. While generally accepted here on NS, some players don't like using trackers for military numbers as they can be manually manipulated on the parent sites and have been abused in the past by number wankers looking purely to "win" at NS.
Myself, I personally use a combination of the two. I use a tracker to number crunch all my economic numbers, then use <1% of my nations RP population for military numbers. I find this method works for me rather well here on NS.
Hope this helps, and if you lads have any further questions, more then happy to help or send up the bat signal for a mentor to take a peek in.
