Military/Civilian Percentages

[The Macabees]

Less than .3% of my population is in the military, and shrinking. This does not include civilian militias, from which most of the wartime military strength is brought up from.

[Takaram]

And what's funny is that that .3% could still take on a lot of the nations on NS and win

[South East Europe]

0.0036% of South East Europe is in the military.

[Beddgelert]

Percentages given as part of total population...

Fit for Service:
Males aged 16-49: 20%
Females aged 16-49: 19.8%

Active regular: 0.98%

Reserve: 1.3%

Border forces: 0.2%

Paramilitary: 1%

Gendarmery:0.1%

Total enrolment: 3.58%

Figures discount 'Blackjackets' and other 'Young Igovian' militia groups operating without official state sanction or support.

At its most militarised, during the revolutionary period of the early 1980s, approximately 11% of the Beddgelen population was at arms.

[Allanea]

Active military comprises about 0.6% of the population. In an emergency, maybe up to 2% can be immediately called up from reserve and territorial units.

[Ferrisev]

100 % all civilians are forced to serve

If all civilians in your country served then you would have no economy, complete poverty, no time to build up cities and settlements and lots more.

[Augarundus]

Conscription was around 3% (around 48,000,000 troops).

Now, post/non-conscription, it's around 2% of the nation (around 32,000,000).

Of that, around 19,000,000 are reserves (60%)

So, in total, there are around 13,000,000 active troops who are able to be IN COMBAT fighting on the FRONTLINES at any moment's notice, and are CURRENTLY doing so, or are currently deployed somewhere apart from the homefront. The other 19,000,000's force can be used whenever necessary should the High Commanders see fit, as they are virtually unrestrained by politics and may intervene at any time with military force.

[Conserative Morality]

0.0018% of the population is in the military. We're at peace.

[Escafin]

The official military (1 million strong) is made up of around .0018% of the nation's citizens.

However, around .005% of the populace, including the .0018% in the military, are armed 'defenders' of the state. This means 1,865,000 are essentially 'militia'. The militia force is in some ways more powerful than the military. Here's a comparison:

Military:
-Around 80% (800,000) logistics and bureaucratic management (mostly logistics in the form of supply trains, communications experts, engineers, planning, etc.).
-20% are soldiers (200,000), who are relatively functional (Escafin isn't a first world nation, so these aren't commandos).
-Troops are lightly armored, wear tan uniforms with a simply protection-oriented helmet, generally use light weapons- including assault rifles, pistols, etc- as opposed to full machine guns and the like. Even submachine guns are uncommon.
-Mostly an attempt to use conventional warfare in a place- Escafini climate- where that doesn't work. So, they're only very functional in urban combat, and are too restricted in the countryside in tactics.
-Navy is EXTREMELY weak.
-Airforce is pathetic.
-Armor is meager, but existent.

Militia
-Around 1,865,000 strong.
-Most militia members are responsible for supplying themselves with food, water, etc. Most even supply their own body armor and weapons, and though this costs a fortune for the individuals (normally, in Escafin, that would be their life's savings) the private security companies in the militia business earn enough to reimburse with a total of 20,000 Escafos these employees after a year's service.
-Thus, only around 466,250 (25%) are 'logistics' and supply troops. They typically are office workers in major cities who plot out business managements, etc.
-Due to the fact each soldier earns an income and profit for private security companies, they are well protected for risking their lives.
-There are 6 major private security companies, each of which has around 300,000 troops, with around 60,000 mercenary/militia troops either self-employed or working for a small business. Securit, Hajalitrooper, Escafire, Milicorps, Bluesoldier, Star Security.
-Unrestricted by politics, they typically do not use conventional warfare.
-Airforce is nonexistent.
-Navy isn't very strong (weaker than the military's, but more numerous).
-Armor is significantly more numerous than the military's, but doesn't extend into many heavy cavalry.
-Does use ACTUAL cavalry, on horses and camels (camels oftentimes are used in desert combat in the eastern portion of Escafin, where criminals often tend to flee).

[South East Europe]

0.43% of South East Europeans are in the Military.

[Kingdom Brittania]

0.039% (1st Quarter of 2009 Military Census) Updated (2009 Military Census) - 0.135%

[Sanctus Pacis]

3% of 40 million in my country is military.

[Rykarian Territories]

Rykaria is currently at 4% of 3.6 billion.

Reason being for the high number is the primary budget focus on defense. (As the small libertarian dictatorship style government mainly focuses on letting the private sector deal with many of the nations services) And because the police is considered apart of the Armed Forces.

[Blademasters765]

25% of our people are in the military even more if you count the super soldiers

[Santheres]

25% of our people are in the military even more if you count the super soldiers

LOL.

Just... lol.

Are you sure there are enough pitchforks and torches to go around?

[Estainia]

1% of the population is maintained as a standing army, with a 3% reserve force, and another 4% unpaid reserve. So in all, 8% counting active/reserves. A bit large, but being that neither reserve force has ever seen combat, we're not in too much of a spot. In the event of a homeland invasion, whoever can walk and fire a weapon is conscripted solely for the defense of the nation.

[Fatatatutti]

In the event of a homeland invasion, whoever can walk and fire a weapon is conscripted solely for the defense of the nation.

Sounds like they'd be more of a danger to themselves than to anybody else.

[Cazelia]

1% of the population is currently in the Government Military.

More than 27% is part of law abiding local militias due to non-existent gun control laws.

[Veceria]

~0.89% of our Population is in the Vecerian Army (including Special Forces, City Watch, Border Control, ...)

[The peoples homeland]

The law's of the peoples homeland state that a people in the nation 12 and up maybe conscripted in to the armed forces. Along with that we have a compulary millatry service at age 17 for 2 years. Then they may return to school if they wish. Also all the fermore members of the armed forces retain there weapons and equipment and are requried to once ever two years return to BT for a month, up until they are 70. I know harsh but it's our way.

Its harsh, yes, but also bit unrealistic. Every two months? Up until 70? That would put many out of work, and could devastate families and the general economy.

i said once every 2 Years for a month until 70, not 2 months.By the way i did look at that and considering that the avrage ak can cost as little as 300 and thats not if we were to build them our selfs which would bring down the cost a lot along with the fact that a calc.'s are biasis.

OOC:Oh! Ok nevermind then, thought it was once every month or something.

[The peoples homeland]

that's ok

[Fatatatutti]

I know harsh but it's our way.

Not harsh so much as silly. If you really do have twelve-year-olds and seventy-year-olds in your army, you're advertising to the world how desparate you are. If you feel that you "need" such low-quality soldiers, then you must be very vulnerable indeed.

In Fatatatutti, our front-line troops are mostly in their twenties and our commanders are mostly in their thirties. In their forties and fifties, they need to be at home, contributing to the economy and raising the next generation. In their sixties and seventies, they need to be at home enjoying what they've spent their lives working and fighting for. Otherwise, what's the point of the fight?

Grandpa and little sister play a far more important role at home. They give the soldiers in the field something to fight for.
