Army personnel: 5,940,000

Navy personnel: 700,000+

Air Force personnel: 1,345,000

In a state of national emergency (Invasion,civil war) any citizen over the age of 16 can be called to serve in the military.
So in theory the Military could arm and equip up to 2.3 billion men and women.

Perfection is over-rated. You may be perfectly prepared to fight the last war but how can you know what shape the next war will take?

Eleven million men-at-arms fill the ranks of His Majesty's Imperial Army with another million and a half accounted for in the Imperial Navy. In addition there are eighty-five thousand three hundred eleven Knights of various Chivalric orders. Another two million men can be gathered from the Houseguards of the Noble Houses, as well. Suffice it to say, the Imperial Military is a vast organ.

The Armed Forces of Rhodesia and Bechuanaland (AFORB) are small. The active duty segment of the Armed Forces consists of only roughly 174 000 personnel, and only about 20% of whom may be considered front-line soldiers. In times of national emergency, the AFORB can increase in size to roughly 400 000 personnel, and outfit the four Army divisions and the Air Force's fourteen assorted squadrons of aircraft.

Our combat-ready personnel is about 500,000 spacemen, and our Star Fleet numbers around 13,000 vessels, however, most of those are left unmanned due to the lack of personnel. We have begun projects to outfit at least 10% of our fleet with remote controlling features, and this has proven very successful as of the launch of the Econia, the first ship to be outfitted with a remote control, operated by only a dozen technicians aboard our major starport, the Iserlohn Fortress. As of now, we can mobilize some 3,000 vessels for war, which is extremely small compared to the amount of combat-ready vessels of the Galactic Empire, estimated to be in the hundreds of thousands.

0.3% of population (includes both active and reserve). So, not too large (though not small).

However 0.1% of the population is part of the Federal Gendarmerie (a federal paramilitary police force) in addition to 0.3% of the population who is part of the civilian police forces of the republics and territories.

Extremely overstretched and oversized, in both foreign deployments to Eastern Europe and the Middle East, and in large scale domestic political repression operations.

Since our society thrives on war and chaos, The Reich upkeeps a very large military. Every child born in the Reich is trained for their entire lives to one day fight in a war we are guaranteed to get involved in. We fight, that is how we win and that is how we die. As of August 30, 2015 at 9:09pm, The Wehrmacht of the Reichsmilitarstrat of Nachfolgia of has the enormous man power 0f 67,798,496 servicemen and women with 36,943,278 in the reserves, Volkssturm, and the academies.

Roughly 200 million and counting. You can never have enough military to defend an ideology and nation.
