We got no military. Instead we got organized groups of political activists. We would make it unplesant for any invader with political protests, strikes and sit downs.

Official size is quite small, except all citizens are potential manchurian candidates brain washed in elementary school. Only a single subliminal message needs to be sent out and the entire Drachevanian population is a combat force. so 248 million.

If one or more military security firms do not fullfill their contract they are probably to be sued for breach of contract, it is simple as that.
And even if an invation would succeed I got from good sources that virtually every corporation in Peppersmak has some level of insurance
against hostile military takeover. And in such a scenario I am certain that the insurance companies involved will take action to limit their loss. And you do not mess with the insurance industry!

Would your soldiers use gas bombs and flamethrowers against a peaceful civil population including women and children, even infants?

Would you meet peaceful protests with bullets and violence?

Would you your soldiers stab a little girl that just want to give them a hug? :hug:

The last seven military invations have all ended in the attaing troops refusing to fight and instead joined out population, nobody want to live in a military dictatorship.

Because that's quite literally a third of your population, and the last time I checked, whether you had the greatest economy at all, you'd still end up having AK-47 wielding soldiers. Take Iraq, for example.

They are also a third of your population. Also if 1/3rd of your population is in the military than how can you afford to give them anything besides sticks and stones? Body armour can easily cost thousands of dollars, a high end assault rifle can cost over $1,000, bullets cost money,training, food, housing, and actual payment all cost money. Also your nation could not survive with 1/3rd of its population in the military, you would have virtually no economy to sustain your military.

Unfortunately for you, our soldiers are trained to think of the enemy as worthless subhuman animals. That's how we keep morale up: soldiers are conditioned to relish in the slaughter of the enemy's people. Sometimes, after capturing a city, they will go and burn homes and blow up public buildings for fun. It demoralizes the enemy and keeps our guys entertained.

Postby Halzak » Fri May 14, 2010 10:44 pm

The Halzak Confederacy has a military of roughly 350.000 broken down into the following branches:

Regular Army: 80.000
Army Reserve: 63.000
Navy: 62.000
Air Force: 45.000
Militia: 100.000

Army

Roughly 70% of the Regular Army consists of combat units. Most of the standing army consists of mechanized infantry forces, supplemented by a force of armored units. The Reserves on the other hand, almost wholly consists of logistic and support units that augment the Regulars in times of war, often meeting the Army's need for transport, Air Defence, and logistical roles that are not filled by the Regulars.

Navy

The Navy is mostly delegated to costal defence. It maintains a small force of attack subs and frigates that patrol Halzak's waters.

Air Force

The Air Force consists of multiple heliborne squadrons that provide the army close support and air mobil capabilities. There also several fixed wing squadrons that are dedicated to mainting air supremacy over the small nation.

Militia

The Militia is an infantry based force that is utilized to defend static positions. Often spread across villages, towns, and cities, the size of their forces in areas often vary in size from a few squads to full infantry regiments. Their heavist armament consists of squad automatic machine guns, ATGMs, and shoulder AA weapons (such as the stinger).
