[The United Neptumousian Empire]

It's no problem, thanks.
But might I ask, why am I only 'above average', when my nation controls a million galaxies, employs quintillions of soldiers, and wields weapons that break planets as easily as dynamite breaks porcelain?
If it's because of the economy questions, I didn't fill those out because I frankly don't know jack about how economics work. Were they to be filled in, it should be assumed they are all as ideal as possible. The UNE has advanced beyond the point of economy being a concern.

Well even being FTL, the calculator puts you as above average for your tech
not for nations in general
the calculator would put me probably as a great power as PMT, but a Super power as MT.
In FTL, You're possibly just above average, but don't ask me
I only had one encounter with FTL, and that was going through the solar system to another.
Again, I'd probably be just weak in FTL, so ye

But why am I not a Super Power?
My nation is far more advanced then the typical nation with faster then light travel. I mean, Star Trek has FTL and they don't even control a whole galaxy, let alone a million! Most FTL nations couldn't even fathom intergalactic travel, yet UNE vessels can travel between galaxies in minutes! The UNE used to employ weapons capable of annihilating entire galactic clusters! How is that not Super Power tier?

I'm sorry if I sound whiny, I was just surprised.

Just be happy you're above average

So after a long period of time of not posting on this thread, mainly because no new replies went on it, i've decided to add some frame work. I've removed the "832" thing. The calculator liked to make sure there was an even balance of large and small numbers, but the problem has been fixed.

You can continue posting...

Sorry if this is a grave dig, but I added "legit content" to it... not forum wise, but calculator wise.

Understand that I did not create this nation for NationStates, I created the UNE a decade ago. I just decided to create it on NationStates for fun. I'm sure there's nations on the site that would be more powerful then the UNE, but they don't exist in my universe.

Basically, what I'm saying is my nation probably sounds crazy OP out of context, but in universe it is only barely the strongest empire, and is constantly at war with another powerful empire.

Unlike the US, which focused on precision, and the Soviet Union which focused on strength of the bomb, during the Cold War, Neo-Joseon focused on numbers and effectiveness. Bombs became smaller and less resources were needed to create each one. We created tens of thousands more than either two nations with a yield comparable to 1/8 that of Hiroshima. Nowadays, those warheads and bombs are in the TAEYANG Flotilla, a large sky fortress that's in low Earth orbit. It's able to hit every nation within 30 minutes.
Can you fend from other nations? Easily, with the conventional weapons on the Flotilla as well as with our technologically advanced military.
Attack or Defensive? Defensive. The rate of expansion for Neo-Joseon has gotten smaller and smaller.
