The fact that they train their kids to build military vehicles from a very early age. Their schools must look like military surplus junkyards.

A lot of folks seem to gravitate towards mentioning their batteries and the fact that LITERALLY EVERYTHING RUNS ON THEM, but the Caleshan are perhaps the only comparable-tech nation that can decisively beat them at their own game in that regard.
Godulan Puppet #2, RPing as technologically advanced tribal society founded by mongols and vikings (and later with multiple other Asian and Native American cultures) motivated by an intrinsic devotion to the spirit of competition. They'll walk softly, talk softly, and make soothing noises as they stab you in the back and take your stuff... unless you're another Caleshan, whereupon they'll only stab you in the back figuratively!

Used NS stats: Population. That’s it. Anything else not stated in the factbooks is not used.

Intro RP: Gravity Ships and Garden Snips (involved tribes: Plainsrider, Hawkeye, Wavecrasher)
Current RP: A Rock Out of Place (involved tribes: Night Wolf, Deep Kraken, Starwalker)

I did not quite get the F7 rules back then so I thought responding as often as I did was a mistake. Pretty new to NS forums I am heheh.

So, about your military, the scary thing is probably the numbers. Over a billion soldiers is rather a frightening amount to witness for a nation with only 2 billion people of the entire population.
Energy banks are the Supreme, Absolute, Genius Invention that will save the mankind.
And yes, this is that one nation that has Orthodox Christianity, conservatism and geniality.

Not much to go by. But they have 60,000 troops funded with 60 billion Roxans which I will assume is exorbitant in comparison to their troop size, which would make their troops incredibly trained and well funded with that budget.

Yeah, no. I'm pretty sure a single ship doesn't constitute an entire navy by itself, at least not in the United States' case. Don't post blatantly false information, please.

(I would just assume their nation is just the 11th Regiment) their 1,500 personnel strong size and the possibility of inaccuracies which may inflate or deflate the number. Plus they're Japanese, so there's the tech to make it scarier.

Theres not much to be frightened from, with the lack of a navy and a mass-conscript based military. But the espionage is something to note down. Mainly how they rival the 3 superpowers of the world, and with our nation being excessively corrupt it wouldn't be a good look if they exploited this to their advantage.

They also have a larger standing army than us, 3 Million including reserves compared to our 2.5 Million Servicemen. If we include reserves its about equal (3 mil vs 3.1 mil)

Wait, no. I forgot something-

Zeppelin Usage: Giant Zeppelins serve as floating command centers and aircraft carriers, supporting air operations, reconnaissance, and command and control functions. Smaller unmanned Zeppelins are employed as mines.


Woah! Now, us sovereignites don't have an impressive airforce ourselves. But this is just terrifying. Imagine trying to take down a Giant zepplin in your small attacker aircraft, while also getting targeted by its own jets. Simply terrifying.

Now THAT is the scariest thing about AN.

their military is an overexaggerated stereotype for comically overpowered multidimensional FT nations (+ cherry on top with the random google images)

they nearly got everything, just needed something like an also comically overpowered superweapon that can destroy planets or a fleet of spaceships the size of Massachussets.
