Application:
Nation Name: New Macedon
Population: 5,000,000
Capital City: New Pella
Government Type: Government Dictatorship
Leader/s: Alexander VI
Army Size: 2,000,000, well trained and disciplined.
History: After the great war, Greece and the Balkans were no as damaged as the United States or Russia. But since these areas were not prepared for a nuclear war they did not prepare for it either. So after a man about 30 years old named Alexander read a book about Alexander the Great he figured he could united Greece and the Balkans. So after inspiring his trice he trained them to use the spear since guns were in short supply. He tried to mock the phalanx to maximize his chances on the battle field. So after conquering a few tribes here and there he had enough men to mount an assault on Pella, after he conquered each section he finally united Pella and crowned himself King with no queen. They admired him because he united Macedonia. After than he turned his view south. He thought it was futile to go to the freezing and radioactive north so he did what Philip II did, conquer Greece, after a few years a mighty fighting he unified Greece and the Balkans, he tried to get people to farm and scavenge. And those who did not farm or scavenge replicated weapons, mainly spears, the talented ones could make poor rifles. And when they were lucky they found military weapons. He had an elite group of men armed with a standard battle rifle, he trained them just as well as he did with the spearmen, and they were just as deadly. Alexander sent scouts to the north and sees a few nations that might pose a threat. The difference between the ancient Alexander and the modern one is that instead of conquering all of Asia, he will conquer all of Europe, and he knew how to do it. With training and brute force, nothing could stand in his way. He was Alexander.... the Great,

...Your army is literally 40% of your population...

Because it is Macedon, it is like Sparta....

Sparta had a large slave population that did the basic stuff which has its own set of problems.
Sparta had like a seven to one slave population just to function

[Ukrainian Cossacks]

Because it is Macedon, it is like Sparta....

Sparta had a large slave population that did the basic stuff which has its own set of problems.
Sparta had like a ten to one slave population just to function

Yes I know this. Every man in my nation is in the army or in blacksmithing. And who says I don't have slaves either? The women take care of the fields and such.

Okay, ignoring everything else for a moment. You need to list your entire population, which would be what?

That would still leave it was 15% of your population.
Remember this is a post nuclear wasteland with irradiated areas everywhere meaning that a lot of good farmland is no longer useful. Really the best a state could do at a total war setting (not getting into how that would hurt the economy) would be 8% of the population (I think that is what the RP or at least a few members of it agreed on). So 400,000 would probably be your max military and even that might be pushing it.
But you should wait for an OP or Co-OP to make a final ruling

Okay, I think I just went a little over kill, sorry. It just seems that I would make every male join my army in this situation.

I think you might be able to get away with that, but remember that it will affect your economy in some ways.

Women and captured slaves would do some of the work. My econemy would grow everytime I conquer. BTW, this is my first RP.

Remember the environment has been damaged and you do not have access to all resources. You make do with what you have. In a perfect world it might not hurt that badly, but in a world where many major cities and strategic resource areas are nuked, it would hurt.

Also remember you lose men in wars that need to be replaced and slave are only obedient for so long. Sparta could only stay at war for so long because when a significant portion of its army left the city, the slaves would begin to revolt, just keep all this in mind when you RP.

And welcome to the RP, I hope it will be a good experience for you. We have several veteran RPers around like me, Mesrane, the OP, and many others who I am sure would be happy to help you if you need it. Don't be afraid to ask for help if you need it

Ummm, no...
I'm the New United States, and I have an army around 100,000, including reserves, and I have a population of 15 Million, so, lower that army by ALOT....

Thank you. I understand this beter now. Like I said I am new to RP, and you provide a valid argument with the helots and Sparta, in the Pelopension Wars the Helots atemtped to stage a revolt but obiously failed. Even thoe my nation is based off of Macedonia, it should have some limits. But not everybody shares my views the a non-military life is a less-honorable one, and I wish to make mine a honor based nation. But even Philipi II had to pay for mercs. at some times and Alexander used mercs. all throughout Asia since it was hard to resupply. Oh well, none the less I thank you for your guidance and look forward to interesting agruments in the future

Hey guys , sorry for not posting the past couple of day , i'm in the middle of a move right now.

Did i miss anything super pressing ?

I'm going to say a max of 250,000, with an understanding of the limitations that number puts on your economy.

[Mesrane]

Also New Decius, you need to lower your population.

[New Decius]

Also New Decius, you need to lower your population.

You didn't raise the question when you accepted it. With Brandenburg being a fairly sized region and considering how large the world population would have been by 2023, then thinking how large Germany's would have been, and Brandenburg being one of the more popular regions of Germany, I think the population would be acceptable.

Isn't it one of the most sparsely populated?
And considering Berlin would be a major target for nukes and they make up more than half of the population of Brandenburg/Berlin?

And I'm going to ask the obvious question if where did you get the metal for your tanks and weapons?
Since I assume you aren't trading with the BRD and Brandenburg does not have large metal resources.
And of course the question of where you get fuel for your tanks and planes. I don't think reserves would last that long
And the Panzer IX was not an actual tank, simply a design to confuse the allies.

I mentioned in my app that old caches and supply depots were opened up. Also if the war happened in 2023 and it is now 2076 (?) wouldn't that be enough time to accumulate recourses. Plus besides recon flights my army hasn't really used up fuel that much.

About 82% of my army is Infantry, 6% Armored Vehicles, 4% Tanks, 1% Artillery, and 7% Aircraft. My army is 224,000

Resources from where? I mean building those domes would have taken a great deal of time in itself, factories for war in a country like Germany would take even longer.

I didn't mean that it would use it up, I mean that you should be mindful of your limited resources

An army of 200,000? America and I only have 100,000. How could you afford that many "Highly trained" troops without your nation suffering. Wouldn't the domes take a lot of maintenance since you live underground and considering the shape of the environment, even keeping that up might be an issue because we lack the resources and clean environments of the pre-war world

And wouldn't Berlin have been hit badly by the nukes and kill a significant portion of the 3 million population? And if the nukes were concentrated there, then I can't imagine the rest of the area did well from the fallout since Brandenburg is fairly rural.

And again, the IX was not real. Building these things would probably take a very significant amount of your resources now that I think about it.

[Imperial City-States]

I swear , none of you understand the concept that you can't have massive Army's like you can in 'modern' day. This is after the Apocalypse , Modern logistics are practically non-existent. Your entire method of resupply and troop movement is going to be though either Ruck Marches , Rail Roads (what are left ) and Water ways. I mean you really couldn't sustain an active military over 60,000 to be entirely realistic. You simply lack the resources in a post apocalyptic world. Look at the Army's of the 18th and 19 Century's and those should be your gauge. All of this "500,000 Soldiers " Crap needs to stop because honestly i'm going to enjoy laughing at you guys when your Soldiers are under-equipped , under-trained and starving.
