They were build during the reign of Dracul Dragomere, this system of large satellites can shoot a laser from geosynchronous orbit and deliver enough explosive power to turn a mountain into a crater at 100% power. It has an 10 feet thick armor shell (made of a classified material) that can block any Electromagnetic interference or attack. It has been known to withstand a direct nuclear blast with only minor damage. They are programmed to automatically defend themselves, and to automatically attack all cities of all enemy nations if the capital of The Empire of Dragomere was destroyed. The Solarus satellites have the capability to be invisible to radar due to its shape and the composition of its armor.

Most of the weaponry and military equipment was made during the reign of Dracul Dragomere, the father of the current president. After the fall of the last regime, the current regime was able to recover most military assets of the old regime.

[Dragomere]

please post you opinions and comments on my factbook, please.

[Oaledonia]

Too much military power for such a small nation, many people would avoid RPing with you.

"Dragomere has the best quality, and the most weaponry of all nations"
not even close to the truth.

[Dragomere]

Why do you say that? My nation is medium sized.

[Oruntar]

That military.

[Poni]

OOC: There are several places I could start with why this factbook is so terrible. What I'm saying here is no one would actually want to role play with you if they had to take these stats seriously. Here are a list of example problems:

1:Project Solarus is basically a massive laser system capable of creating craters in mountains at fifty percent power. How much power could one such laser defense system possibly need? Also the capability of surviving a nuclear blast with only minor damage is kind of godmodding. A nuclear blast is very, very devastating. Even those robots from Transformers would take significant damage from a nuclear missile! In addition the chances of a machine blocking out electromagnetic interference is rather difficult if not impossible. Why is this laser system capable of attacking entire enemy cities if it is suppose to be designed for defensive purposes only? Lastly, I highly disbelieve a laser defense system is capable of being capable of hiding from radars based on their size and composition of armor. In other words, overpowered as Hell!

2: The chances of your nation having 1,000 nuclear missiles, 2,000 biological missiles, and 3,000 chemical weapon missiles with the size of your country is completely absurd. No nation of such a small population could possibly have that many weapons. Speaking of absurd weapons, 10,000,000 robot tanks? Really? Lastly for Dragomere to have the most powerful military in the World Assembly is a very weak and biased opinion, considering you're not even in the top ten percent of the world for military defenses. Also there are far more nations of very significant size and military might than you. The only thing I see as being correct from Dragomere's military views and info is the fact that the Dragomere Empire constantly tries infringing on the views of foreign nations, while holding their noses high as if they're somehow more important than any other. That kind of snobbish pride however isn't going to make allies.

3: Lastly, your "strengths and weaknesses:"

Strengths
1) the borders are constantly patrolled by almost invincible robotic tanks
2) the Empire of Dragomere has space lasers that can target and destroy any enemy city
3) the Dragomere Airship Brigade makes the Empire of Dragomere have the most powerful air force in the world
4) the people support the government
5) the Empire of Dragomere's military(excluding navy) consist of:
a) 1,000 nuclear missiles
b) 2,000 biological missiles
c) 3,000 chemical weapon tipped missile
d) 10,000 robotic tanks
e) 10,000 anti-aircraft defense weapons
f) 1,000 bombers
g) 2,000 fighter jets
h) 5,000 artillery
I) 1,000 tanks
j) 5,000,000 active military members
k) 5,000 airships
Weaknesses
1) the Empire of Dragomere's spy satelites can not detect small underwater naval vessels
2) the Empire of Dragomere has a small navy consisting only of:
a) 1,000 nuclear submarines
b) 1,000 frigates
c) 500 battleships
d) 250 destroyers
e) 10 aircraft carriers
3) the government is elected by the consent of the people
4) the cities and towns in the Empire of Dragomere are spread out
5) the Empire of Dragomere will only use its stockpile of Weapons of Mass Destruction(WMDs) as a last resort

Overpowered as all Hell much? I wouldn't even consider your "weaknesses" as actually being weaknesses at all! 1,000 nuclear submarines? 1,000 frigates? You call this a "small navy?" This could make up for what, 200 or 300 naval squadrons? The amount of people required to manage all those weapons you've mentioned wouldn't even equal to your country's total population, but skyrocket instead!

With everything I said, and despite you're military being "medium sized," I don't know what to tell you other than, "Dragomere, this military has 'godmod' written all over it!"

IC: The Federation of Poni has read Dragomere's Factbook, and is disgusted by the amount of bias and lies within it.

[Grays Harbor]

Comments? OK, here goes...

Your military, as written, is one of the most godmodded I have seen here in quite some time. Largest and best military in the WA? Not hardly. It is not possible. You are still a comparatively tiny nation. Using my own as an example

Grays Harbor - Top 1% Defense Forces on NS, rating of 945 (median is 18)
Dragomere - Not even rated in the the 10%, or anywhere near that, rating of 53.

That hardly says "Better and bigger than everybody!"

Another way to look at it. You have a population of 142 million with an economy rated as "good". Small population coupled with a middle-of-the-road economy. My population is 19.996 Billion, with an economy rated at "frightening". Top 1% population with the highest economy rating possible.

And you still want to insist your military is bigger, better and all around hoorahrific?

Lets try one more comparison, this time from one of the more widely used trackers, NSTracker.

Again, just a bit of disparity there.

And this is just a comparison with one other nation. There are maybe 150 or so larger militaries than me out there on NS. Mine is not even the largest.

Conclusion: You may want to back off on your "Mine is the biggest and baddest" stance because all it does is make you look at the very least foolish in the eyes of other RPers, and seen by most as an egregious godmodder. I realize that I nor anybody else can tell you how to run your nation, or tell you what you can and cannot demand to have. However, we can offer advise to help you make yourself look less of a goober, because I can tell you that 90+% of the people reading your stats, those that bother to read it at all, just look at it and laugh. It is one thing to want your nation to be good and look good. It is another thing entirely to make wild unsubstantiated claims which guarantees that nobody will take you the least bit serious.

[Themiclesia]

Dragonmere -

The absolute size of your military (as being pointed out,) is not nearly as important as how you command it. A good general will command a small army to a victory, and a poor admiral will sink a fleet before the ships can fire a volley.

If you're a brilliant military mind, I see no reason why you cannot defeat some country like Gray's Harbour, provided that the RPer is a bad one, though he/she probably isn't.

As for me (and I'm a relatively small country too,) I feel having 235,000 people in my military, in total, is sufficient for a population of 600 million. That's my opinion.

[Themiclesia]

Have a look at how I compare with you.

[Gaelic Celtia]

Yeah...uh...no. Those numbers are nowhere NEAR accurate or plausible. I would do some serious editing if you want any chance if being taken seriously in a roleplay. To start, I would just completely dash this Project Solarus thing.

EDIT: Oh and certainly this. This certainly needs to be edited.

The military has 10,000,000 robotic tanks that can withstand most enemy weaponry.

EDIT2: And this. It just makes you seem very arrogant. Trust me when I say that this what you claim is certainly not true.

The Empire of Dragomere has the most powerful military in the world and the WA.

[Bodobol]

I'm going to laugh when you get into an RP with an FT nation and you get your nation and 'largest and best' military destroyed.

[Dragomere]

The robotic tanks are the tank versions of modern-day RL drones.

For Gaelic Celtia's second edit, Project Solarus makes my military the most powerful in the world.

Project Solarus would fend off all FT nations.

PS. what does PMT mean?

PS. what does PMT mean?

And that right there is a god mod. You cannot have the fist of god in your arsenal that makes you invincible. I have seen people's reactions to your solarus thing, and it is the same as mine: God Mod, straight and true. Plus that is advanced tech and will not be tolerated in most MT and some PMT threads

yeah. ok. 10 million of those things, really? your economy cannot support this bloated arsenal.

[Dragomere]

I will say that, now that I know what PMT means, my nation most likely falls under that category.

I think that was a typo, I thought that I put down 10,000 not 10,000,000.

[Gaelic Celtia]

Even then you cannot just say in an FT RP
"My solarus satellites destroy the entire advancing fleet and then target the enemies homeworld, which is then destroyed."


That is still a hell of a lot of materiel, plus you have 1000 nuclear submarines? Again, WAY too high. Your economy is 59/100 btw, or "Good." You need to establish some down to earth guidelines here.

And with that statement you just bypassed Facepalmland, blew right by Godmoddia, and landed square in the middle of the Kingdom of Laughably Ignored.

There is a thread called Military Realism Consultation which includes tons of good advise you may want to check out, as well as RP Mentors who are willing to help. I would recommend you avail yourself of their services.

^ Bullseye

I doubt he will listen though. Did you see his attempted RP with GKE? He just blew past everyone's calls of god mod and pretended he won....

[Umbra Ac Silentium]

0/10 nothing but military masturbation.
Would not read again.

[Dragomere]

If you take into account the # of regions and how vast they are, that number seems accurate.

Also when I put down 10,000,000 robotic tanks (similar to Modern RL drones), I meant to put 10,000.

[Oaledonia]

If you take into account the # of regions and how vast they are, that number seems accurate

Could you link those regions?

[Dragomere]

I was referring to the # of regions in the entirety of NS.

[Oaledonia]

I was referring to the # of regions in the entirety of NS.

... you don't own any of those....

[Dragomere]

so, my navy is still patrolling them.

[Oaledonia]

so, my navy is still patrolling them.

Not mine, our combined military hell, my military could take down your ships. I recommend that you simply re-write the military factbook, or no one will take you seriously.
