For a superpower it's size, you'd be surprised how small in terms of numbers the Imperial Military is. The Imperial Military only numbers about 1,500,000 across all branches, excluding ZOCOM of course. But we focus a lot more on extremely powerful and high tech troops that can strike with precision and efficiency. So even though the Ammerinian Military is smaller than some others, it is arguably the most "powerful" in terms of striking power.

That said, quantity still has a quality of it's own.

As Davinhia has about 2.5 billion citizens, and 110 million military members, it has a massive military. The funds were supposed to be cut to reduce the numbers, as 110 million, is just too much for 2.5 billion people. However, since we are in war, we will keep those numbers until we get out. The only reason we have more than we should is because we annexed a nation to protect it's citizens. We now have their 1 billion people, and 97 500 000 members.
