--------------------------
Military: The United Republic of Taehan (URT) Armed Forces is a large and technological advanced military with a long and proud tradition and is considered a great power in the sphere. This is due to a long history of warfare and the ambitious goals that are set in store for the future. It is a well-funded military and the state issues compulsory conscription for men. Over 15,000,000 million active military personnel or around 2% of the population are stationed across the Republic in which they are ready to fight for the glory of the state and interests of corporations/society. The Taehan military is divided into the Army, the Navy, the Air Force, and the Marine Corps which is a semi-independent part of the Navy. The Taehan military while also being used to protect Taehanese and Taehan interests/property world-wide are also used to gain profit when it seems to be useful. They will prosecute wars to gain a competitive advantage and especially when vast resources, technologies, and land is up for the grabs. And if they do lose they will make sure nothing is left for the victor. However they are more reluctant/un-willing to go to war if it would mean economic damage.
    Navy: The URT Navy is the naval warfare service branch of the URT Armed Forces and is one of the most important branches of the armed forces. It is a potential blue-water navy which is working towards automation to lower the number of personnel while at the same time is rapidly expanding centered around aircraft carriers and super missile-cruisers. The YRT Navy is under-going recent naval modernization efforts and intentions of developing blue-water capabilities coinciding with economic growth. It has a massive aircraft carrier program underway and is also in the process of acquiring longer-ranged naval aviation and a larger strategic submarine fleet. It is supplemented with it's own aviation wing along with the UTR Marine Corps with it's amphibious warfare capabilities. Estimated numbers is at 3,598,948 active military personnel.
    Army: The URT Army deploys over 8,587,948 active military personnel. The URTA has 50% of the URT Armed Forces manpower and are divided into multiple Operations Commands. During periods of national emergencies the Army will be supplemented with numerous reserve units.With Taehan seen as an emerging super-power and enjoying economic prosperity the Army continues to undergo significant modernization to enhance its land warfare capabilities. Well-trained and highly motivated the Taehan soldier is ready to fight down to the last man and the military also continues to grow to be a more technology-intensive force. This is clearly seen through the series of next-generation military vehicles and new, advanced munitions and electronic systems that are in the process of being implemented.
    Air Force: The URT Air Force has some 3,228,788 active military personnel currently in service. The URT Air Force is looking towards the goal of have the mosy advanced tactical fighter force in the world. With rapid modernization, all older aircraft types in service are quickly being phased out and emphasis being placed on developing modern and future generation fighters. The URTAF is currently concentrating on qualitative expansion of aircraft as well as multiple aircraft programs are going on to increase the effectiveness of the Air Force. The Air Force also controls much of Taehan's nuclear arsenal and provides a effective MAD strategy. In open warfare the Air Force's goals during war are to gain total and unchallenged air and space superiority that it can easily conduct operations against all branches of enemy forces and is working the capabilites to have the the ability to strike rapidly and devastatingly any target as well as to do rapid deployment and deliverance/recovery of supplies and men like the Navy.

---------------------------
A Brief History of My Nation: The nation of Taehan was officially formed after the unification of the Four Warring Kingdoms and a unified state was finally established. From that day it became a state with heavy cultural influence on neighbors and with it's military kings and their campaigns expanded the territory greatly eastwards. At that point the Taehan became one of the largest economies of the ancient world. However such prosperity was not to last. A civil war arrived once more and the nation caved into two. Both nations co-existed for some time, but conflict raised it's head again. One nation collapsed into anarchy while the other had a military coup and new dynasty was started in Taehan. Eventually Taehan was able to reunify all it's territories and entered into a golden age of science, technology, and culture. A period of peace was known for a vast time. However this caused Taehan to become a isolationist nation destined to be overpowered by more powerful nations. However when it's borders were forced opened during the early 1800s a momentous occasion occurred. A period of rapid modernization, industrialization, and urbanization occurred in Taehan so that by the mid-1800s the state became a world power. Multiple wars occurred in which foreigners that had laughed at the backwardness of Taehan would never do so again. They had learned to respect and fear the Taehanese. By the early 1900s the nation was bustling with economic power and yet some people were concerned that the corporations had too much power. Peace continued until the early 1930s in which a severe economic downturn occurred. The government was blamed for the causes and the corporations began getting unruly at the current governments incompetence.

Therefore Taehan was taken over by militants that saw that a vast Empire was needed for economic growth and it went on a brutal conquest of neighboring states in a war which lasted nearly a decade and ended up destroyed much of Taehan in exchange for vast swathes of land as they were pushed back and pushed forward a final time reaching it's modern day borders. This was the final nail in the coffin for the monarchy. The corporations had been joyful at first at the influx of raw materials, but as they suffered greatly, they agreed to reinforce each other and funded a former CEO a astute and intelligent man known as Yi came to power in 1946 as the Prime Minister. Using shrewd political manipulation he was able to gain the support of the military which had it's funding cut repeatedly cut as the government couldn't afford it and overthrew the government which was found popular. A self-made man, his criticism of the former government along with his humbleness gave him immense popularity. Notable changes were made such as increased corporate political power. As time went by any national parties would get weaker and would be eventually be filled with pet Congressmen and such as in present times. And the larger corporations began swallowing the competition while expanding overseas which lead to today's twelve multi-national conglomerates. Corporations would later fund and fiance more so-called elections as the budget increased. However at the moment Taehan was the most pitiful it had been in centuries. Martial law was declared and it wasn't until more than a decade later did the economic miracle occur.

However the economic boom which would make Taehan what political scientists would call a "economic superpower" and a emerging superpower occurred after President Yi was assassinated and the founding blocks of economic growth were put in and President Jinheung was "elected" and was sponsered by all twelve corporations. Under his administration, Taehan's economic performance in which foreign companies were locked out and the shift towards strategic industries with low profits in the short-run at first lead to an enormous economic boom which brought the country fully out of depression and from damage caused during the wars. Increased consumerism occurred and due to financial flexibility increased and modernized to the latest of infrastructure. The economic growth, fueled by investments, enormous natural resources, and exports lead to rapid re-industrialization, technological advancement, education booms, large rise in living standards, rapid urbanization, skyscraper booms, and heavy modernization with structural stability as well as excellent credit rating. The nation is now officially a "Republic", but in truth it is a technologically advanced corporatocracy with heavy global surveillance dominated by prominent multinational conglomerates which controls daily political, social, and economic life. As of current year Taehan wields large economic influence and is considered by many to be a emerging superpower however whether that will come to truth is yet unknown.

The largest air force in the world, the US Air Force, has some 330k active service members, 7000 helicopters and just under 5000 fighter aircraft. For comparison to countries in this RP, Andoria alone has 5.5million personnel in their air force, or nearly 17x as many as in the US Air Force. I'd be afraid to imagine what he think his aircraft inventory looks like...

The largest navy in the world, the US navy, has some 320k active service members. It operates 10 aircraft carriers, 15 frigates, 62 destroyers and 72 submarines. That's a total of 159 warships. Andoria operates more than 2x as many submarines and more than 3x as many warships (assuming by ships he's referring specifically to warships). If people bring their numbers down here, I will as well, since I claimed 175 warships based on the fact everyone's numbers are inflated massively.

The largest army in the world, The People's Liberation Army Ground Force, has 2,285,000 active service members. Russia maintains the largest tank force with just over 15k tanks. For comparison, Ghondra maintains a ground force of 18million active soldiers, or almost 8x the size of the Chinese army. Another way of looking at it, Ghondra maintains in it's active ground force alone approximately the same amount of soldiers as the entire RL world's militaries combined, in all branches. The size of all the world's countries combined is about 7billion, while Ghondra is only 650million.

So really, it depends on what we're doing. Do we want to be somewhat realistic, or should we all just inflate our numbers to keep some balance. At this rate, anyone who keeps their numbers realistic will be heavily outgunned by just about everyone.

Ah, well then it can't be helped. I still would like to know the progress of global warming. A key part of my nation was going to be that receding Arctic conditions are opening up fertile land causing a booming agriculture sector and a net exporter of agricultural products. But otherwise, yes we have oil to buy what we need :D

EDIT: Wait, is your 30 degrees counting the fact that the map doesn't end at the top/bottom of the image? Ghondra has said there are icecaps and such above the map.

I think its a little bit late for us to adjust the numbers. About 5% of my population is in the Military, but most of them are reservists. I'm gonna adjust the numbers so I have less ground troops, but trust me Ptol, I am not the biggest military on the block, and as you said, pretty much anyone who tries to keep the numbers down to realistic level is gonna lose one way, or another. With that in mind, I again suggest that to those who haven't, to halve your population and reduce the size of your military, reducing GDP to RL levels are recommended but not mandatory. This inflated balance is not that realistic (then again most of us have very big territories, so...

Well, we can easily just have people adjust their military numbers based on the population of each country. Generally, 1% of population in the military (active) is the upper limit for nations not in a state of total war. Anymore than 1% should have significant economic consequences, such as having a lower GDP. More people in the military is less people conducting economic labour!

As for Korean's app, the GDP per capita is way too high to be fair. Twice the size of the USA with 3x the GDP per capita. 110trillion GDP would be more than the entire RL world combined + another 2 and a half USA's. That's seriously unrealistic. Generally, countries with larger populations should have lower GDP per capita. As well, our global population is approaching 1billion larger than RL Earth right now, just sayin'

There should only be like 3 countries at most with over 700million population. We should have one large democracy, one large fascist and possibly one large communist.

The world population, not including other nations such as NPC's, is approaching 9billion now...

A Brief History of My Nation:

There is no way you have a military that large if the government if it 'doesn't care' 6000 planes is almost half the US Air Force, 10,000,000 is insanely high, and 500 ships even more so. Plus there is way too many people unless you turn yourself into a communist nation or something, you'll have to lower it to below 600 million. And your territory? You don't have paint?

The Tescorosso breed is a mix of red panda, wolf, and german shepherd. In some aspects Malik is a bit of a time traveler, being an archangel from the frost realm (Prince to King Arend) he has been alive since 1304.

--------------------------
Military: The United Republic of Taehan (URT) Armed Forces is a large and technological advanced military with a long and proud tradition and is considered a great power in the sphere. This is due to a long history of warfare and the ambitious goals that are set in store for the future. It is a well-funded military and the state issues compulsory conscription for men. Over 15,000,000 million active military personnel or around 2% of the population are stationed across the Republic in which they are ready to fight for the glory of the state and interests of corporations/society. The Taehan military is divided into the Army, the Navy, the Air Force, and the Marine Corps which is a semi-independent part of the Navy. The Taehan military while also being used to protect Taehanese and Taehan interests/property world-wide are also used to gain profit when it seems to be useful. They will prosecute wars to gain a competitive advantage and especially when vast resources, technologies, and land is up for the grabs. And if they do lose they will make sure nothing is left for the victor. However they are more reluctant/un-willing to go to war if it would mean economic damage.
    Navy: The URT Navy is the naval warfare service branch of the URT Armed Forces and is one of the most important branches of the armed forces. It is a potential blue-water navy which is working towards automation to lower the number of personnel while at the same time is rapidly expanding centered around aircraft carriers and super missile-cruisers. The YRT Navy is under-going recent naval modernization efforts and intentions of developing blue-water capabilities coinciding with economic growth. It has a massive aircraft carrier program underway and is also in the process of acquiring longer-ranged naval aviation and a larger strategic submarine fleet. It is supplemented with it's own aviation wing along with the UTR Marine Corps with it's amphibious warfare capabilities. Estimated numbers is at 3,598,948 active military personnel.
    Army: The URT Army deploys over 8,587,948 active military personnel. The URTA has 50% of the URT Armed Forces manpower and are divided into multiple Operations Commands. During periods of national emergencies the Army will be supplemented with numerous reserve units.With Taehan seen as an emerging super-power and enjoying economic prosperity the Army continues to undergo significant modernization to enhance its land warfare capabilities. Well-trained and highly motivated the Taehan soldier is ready to fight down to the last man and the military also continues to grow to be a more technology-intensive force. This is clearly seen through the series of next-generation military vehicles and new, advanced munitions and electronic systems that are in the process of being implemented.
    Air Force: The URT Air Force has some 3,228,788 active military personnel currently in service. The URT Air Force is looking towards the goal of have the mosy advanced tactical fighter force in the world. With rapid modernization, all older aircraft types in service are quickly being phased out and emphasis being placed on developing modern and future generation fighters. The URTAF is currently concentrating on qualitative expansion of aircraft as well as multiple aircraft programs are going on to increase the effectiveness of the Air Force. The Air Force also controls much of Taehan's nuclear arsenal and provides a effective MAD strategy. In open warfare the Air Force's goals during war are to gain total and unchallenged air and space superiority that it can easily conduct operations against all branches of enemy forces and is working the capabilites to have the the ability to strike rapidly and devastatingly any target as well as to do rapid deployment and deliverance/recovery of supplies and men like the Navy.
Tech Level: PMT
---------------------------
A Brief History of My Nation: The nation of Taehan was officially formed after the unification of the Four Warring Kingdoms and a unified state was finally established. From that day it became a state with heavy cultural influence on neighbors and with it's military kings and their campaigns expanded the territory greatly eastwards. At that point the Taehan became one of the largest economies of the ancient world. However such prosperity was not to last. A civil war arrived once more and the nation caved into two. Both nations co-existed for some time, but conflict raised it's head again. One nation collapsed into anarchy while the other had a military coup and new dynasty was started in Taehan. Eventually Taehan was able to reunify all it's territories and entered into a golden age of science, technology, and culture. A period of peace was known for a vast time. However this caused Taehan to become a isolationist nation destined to be overpowered by more powerful nations. However when it's borders were forced opened during the early 1800s a momentous occasion occurred. A period of rapid modernization, industrialization, and urbanization occurred in Taehan so that by the mid-1800s the state became a world power. Multiple wars occurred in which foreigners that had laughed at the backwardness of Taehan would never do so again. They had learned to respect and fear the Taehanese. By the early 1900s the nation was bustling with economic power and yet some people were concerned that the corporations had too much power. Peace continued until the early 1930s in which a severe economic downturn occurred. The government was blamed for the causes and the corporations began getting unruly at the current governments incompetence.

Therefore Taehan was taken over by militants that saw that a vast Empire was needed for economic growth and it went on a brutal conquest of neighboring states in a war which lasted nearly a decade and ended up destroyed much of Taehan in exchange for vast swathes of land as they were pushed back and pushed forward a final time reaching it's modern day borders. This was the final nail in the coffin for the monarchy. The corporations had been joyful at first at the influx of raw materials, but as they suffered greatly, they agreed to reinforce each other and funded a former CEO a astute and intelligent man known as Yi came to power in 1946 as the Prime Minister. Using shrewd political manipulation he was able to gain the support of the military which had it's funding cut repeatedly cut as the government couldn't afford it and overthrew the government which was found popular. A self-made man, his criticism of the former government along with his humbleness gave him immense popularity. Notable changes were made such as increased corporate political power. As time went by any national parties would get weaker and would be eventually be filled with pet Congressmen and such as in present times. And the larger corporations began swallowing the competition while expanding overseas which lead to today's twelve multi-national conglomerates. Corporations would later fund and fiance more so-called elections as the budget increased. However at the moment Taehan was the most pitiful it had been in centuries. Martial law was declared and it wasn't until more than a decade later did the economic miracle occur.

However the economic boom which would make Taehan what political scientists would call a "economic superpower" and a emerging superpower occurred after President Yi was assassinated and the founding blocks of economic growth were put in and President Jinheung was "elected" and was sponsered by all twelve corporations. Under his administration, Taehan's economic performance in which foreign companies were locked out and the shift towards strategic industries with low profits in the short-run at first lead to an enormous economic boom which brought the country fully out of depression and from damage caused during the wars. Increased consumerism occurred and due to financial flexibility increased and modernized to the latest of infrastructure. The economic growth, fueled by investments, enormous natural resources, and exports lead to rapid re-industrialization, technological advancement, education booms, large rise in living standards, rapid urbanization, skyscraper booms, and heavy modernization with structural stability as well as excellent credit rating. The nation is now officially a "Republic", but in truth it is a technologically advanced corporatocracy with heavy global surveillance dominated by prominent multinational conglomerates which controls daily political, social, and economic life. As of current year Taehan wields large economic influence and is considered by many to be a emerging superpower however whether that will come to truth is yet unknown.

It's acceptable, but still a bit high. ACCEPTED.

As for first things to do, i'm building a natural gas pipeline to Evora across the strait between us. I will also outline Helvetia's military capability in a report. After that, foreign affairs with neighbours.

1. Helvetia would like to have an agreement for unimpeded passage through the strait in Aqruthia, we'll pay toll fees as long as they are not excessive.
2. Helvetia will ship oil to pretty much anyone. We may also be interested in a major project to get a natural gas pipeline onto the continent. This would allow us to ship natural gas to Jiade, Prussenija, Andoria or Jordslag.
3. If anyone wants to have pre-existing relations with Helvetia (positive or negative) let me know and we can work something out.


1. I believe that can be settled - as with all nations who wish to pass through the Maiitval Canal. The fees would depend on what and how much cargo the ship carries, and to where its destination is. Usually, toll fees only becomes excessive when a ship is bound for a nation unfriendly to the Confederation; unless it is a major economic powerhouse like Prussenija.
3. Perhaps we could have lukewarm relations. Aqruthians may have doubts who are friends of Prussenija, but would love to do business with Helvetians.




I believe my foreign policy for the possible great powers would be as follows. Text located in [brackets] are my ideas for diplomatic relations.

1. Alegeharia (the crimson nation south of Aqruthia) is scum of Atalanta destroy kill may threaten the Confederation and as such, maintains bad relations with them. [If no one claims the lands between us, perhaps we could participate in proxy wars that deal with the nations in those lands to maintain power and influence over them. Fun fact though: I chose not to be directly bordered with you in hopes that there may be a buffer state between us to prevent an immediate ground invasion. No passage through the Maiitval Canal for you, unfortunately.]
2. Ghondra is an intrusive nation and is viewed negatively, possibly due to their history as an empire. Any violation of Confederation members' sovereignty, and those involved will be treated austerely. Aqruthian diplomats are advised to take caution when negotiating with Ghondrans. [Perhaps you would've tried to subdue the Aqruthians and annex them to your empire but failed? Also, more inspections for cargo and higher toll fees through the Maiitval Canal for you to slow down your imperialist drive!]
3. Persica is viewed more positively and the High Parliament advises Confederation members to build up cooperation between the Confederation and Persica. [Perhaps we could have an alliance, coupled with lesser inspections of cargo and lower toll fees through the Maiitval Canal.]
4. Prussenija is viewed negatively in all Confederation states, but trade may be the only forms of communication between the Confederation and Prussenija.




On the field of military, I am merely a pebble in North and Central Atalanta, given that the nations there have Early PMT tech and have a larger population than my nation. Perhaps I could offset this by having higher tech (Early PMT, but in a way more advanced than Alegeharia and Falconmont) and an extremely skilled intelligence service to predict possible conflicts and possibly schedule pre-emptive attacks to disable any attempt to cause significant damage to Aqruthia.

Now on the field of economics, my GDP and GDP Per Capita pales in comparison to my neighbors. Perhaps I could offset this by having lower cost of living and having perhaps the best-educated peoples in Atalanta. Perhaps having Atalanta's best infrastructure for business (such as possibly having Atalanta's fastest internet speed, an efficient public transportation system, gigantic airports and ports etc.) which make the Confederation more ideal for investors in comparison with its neighbors may be a nice thing to do.

1. I believe that can be settled - as with all nations who wish to pass through the Maiitval Canal. The fees would depend on what and how much cargo the ship carries, and to where its destination is. Usually, toll fees only becomes excessive when a ship is bound for a nation unfriendly to the Confederation; unless it is a major economic powerhouse like Prussenija.
3. Perhaps we could have lukewarm relations. Aqruthians may have doubts who are friends of Prussenija, but would love to do business with Helvetians.




I believe my foreign policy for the possible great powers would be as follows. Text located in [brackets] are my ideas for diplomatic relations.

1. Alegeharia (the crimson nation south of Aqruthia) is scum of Atalanta destroy kill may threaten the Confederation and as such, maintains bad relations with them. [If no one claims the lands between us, perhaps we could participate in proxy wars that deal with the nations in those lands to maintain power and influence over them. Fun fact though: I chose not to be directly bordered with you in hopes that there may be a buffer state between us to prevent an immediate ground invasion. No passage through the Maiitval Canal for you, unfortunately.]
2. Ghondra is an intrusive nation and is viewed negatively, possibly due to their history as an empire. Any violation of Confederation members' sovereignty, and those involved will be treated austerely. Aqruthian diplomats are advised to take caution when negotiating with Ghondrans. [Perhaps you would've tried to subdue the Aqruthians and annex them to your empire but failed? Also, more inspections for cargo and higher toll fees through the Maiitval Canal for you to slow down your imperialist drive!]
3. Persica is viewed more positively and the High Parliament advises Confederation members to build up cooperation between the Confederation and Persica. [Perhaps we could have an alliance, coupled with lesser inspections of cargo and lower toll fees through the Maiitval Canal.]
4. Prussenija is viewed negatively in all Confederation states, but trade may be the only forms of communication between the Confederation and Prussenija.

What about Jordslag?


Being a Union of different peoples (like the Confederation is), perhaps we might find some common ground. Your military numbers (if you wish not to change them) might bug the Aqruthian High Parliament Though.

Speaking of the High Parliament, I think it is a horrible name. Perhaps the Confederal Parliament, or the Transcontinental Parliament (since Aqruthia connects both Atalantas) sound better?

Transcontinental is great.

Also, my military numbers are because i'm squished between three giant nations. They are purely for defense, even if one of those giants is my ally.
My favorite games are the Pokemon Games. Shoot me a TG if you want to talk about them.
Don't worry! It's all just a tall tale, okay?

Ehhh... Might be neutral, but steadily going positive :P . Travel advisories might be given to Aqruthian citizens planning to go to your nation. I believe I've read in your app that there is currently an insurgency going on.

"The Transcontinental Assembly wishes to notify all citizens of the Confederation that travel advisories..." You're right, it does sound cool, especially when Parliament is changed to Assembly :P Although that name may be better suited for a UN-esque organization.
