2015: Wind of Change [SIGNUPS]

[The Grand Duchy Of Nova Capile]

Make it strong!

Scandinavia has been nuked multiple times... Scandinaia as a whole is screwed, along with a MASSIVE chunk of Europe. I say we take unified UN action...

Wait, in this RP or IRL?

[Gyrenaica]

With a heavy base of support from the soviets, you could be much stronger. Also you'd have time for a bit bigger economy. Throw in your bigger army well supplied. You're not too weak. I'd place you at rank 40th, give or take one or a few, compared to the irl Finlands rank of 48th most powerful.

Yeah.

Where does Venezuela-Colombia come in most powerful? We have a abundance of oil, a self-dependent economy and 11 million soldiers and a large-ish navy. Please tell. And also now that we own Cuba and Ecuador, and have landed in Spain and taken the portugese Azores Islands we're gaining alot more influence across the Atlantic, and we have access to the Pacific via Colombia-Ecuador.

How many of the soldiers are active duty?

[Gyrenaica]

At best, you'd be around. 38th.

[Crockerland]

11 million soldiers

Definitely not.

[The Grand Duchy Of Nova Capile]

11 million soldiers

Definitely not.

My god, how could you support so many soldiers? Plus, thats… Well, I was going to say something about that being a ridiculous percentage of your population(7%), but considering my army is 8% of my population I can't really talk. Hey, at least I cut down on mine after I realized what it was(it's now 600,000 instead of 800,000). Still regretting picking such a small country.

[Nova Caelston]

So... basing off of modern Greece IRL, being quite a bit more militarized, and just now doubling my defence budget & annexing Albania... What would my military be like at this point?

America IRL has the largest military on Earth, and has, counting reserve, around 2 million soldiers. 11 MILLION is waaay too much.

The Greek and Albanian militaries combined and doubled would be about 250,000, so I'd say anywhere from there to 300,000.

What exactly do you want? BTW, thats only about 2% of your population, so it's realistic as well.

[The Grand Duchy Of Nova Capile]

Aircraft for Greece and Albania doubled would be around 800, tank forces would be 1,500(Albania has no tanks), and armored vehicles would be almost 5,000(thats not counting a lot of random stuff, if you did it would be a ridiculous number like 18,000). That's all doubled BTW.

We have compulsory military service - and many of the military actually are doctors, nurses and are not armed. Only 2.11 million are properly armed, and we've deployed 700,000 to fight in Europe versus Spain and the Empire of Unions. Note that the USA can't hold a large army due to it's dependence on foreign exports to sustain key factors such as fuel for vehicles, metal for weapons etc etc.
And it doesn't have compulsory military service for those who are aged 17 to 21 who are not employed, either.

They're more than 100 feet long lmfao.

Radar jammers... AA guns... Shells filled with nuclear waste... A bomb that can level Europe..
What else huh!?!

You don't really need a radar to see them, AA guns are fine but even a single missile will cause enough trauma to detonate your bomb and turn the explosion and nuclear waste against your own army.

And with all the stuff you're riveting to this already massive tank, it'll probably go 10 MPH and sink in any terrain. You'd have to lay down concrete for it or put it on rails or something.

Wait... Rails are perfect... Good man!

Really? Denmark is a puppet of Venezuela? What kind of whack job universe is this? Oh well, I'll work to restore independent Japanese and Danish powers.

[The Lowlands and Saxony]

Nobody hires me :/

[The Grand Duchy Of Nova Capile]

I was going to, but then we started winning the war… You don't really see to much action unless you're a country. Still, i might require your services later on, as I'm a rather small country.

Well - consider that the Dutch were losing. When your country is losing you want someone else to lead. If the Venezuelans funded an insurgency of Denmark, and how much they did was on a huge scale (talking about $31 billion in terms of weaponry and support such as missile strikes), Denmark would surely fall. But now that Venezuela has to fight Japan, and although it's already almost won, it's had to stop all advances in Europe but remains in a state of war with the Empire of Unions. And they're probably going to want the Belgium beaches back. And then Denmark too so they have access and control over the Baltic Sea. It's not going to end well for the Venezuelan cross-continental expansions if I don't try and negotiate terms of peace with the EoU.
