The Corsairs

Our military is not abolished, but I don't know personally the first thing about a revolver, much less anything in that Patruan list.

I just know that our military is comprised of 1.75 million soldiers, 15% of which are the dreaded Black Corsairs, whose assassin skills rival those of ninja and russian spy combined.

The rest are White Corsairs whom train with tanks and planes and flamethrowers.

That's it!

Corsairio, a 200 million man army isn't really realistic, especially considering they have to be fed, housed armed and equipped. And that's without the wages, maintenance, ammo, logistics and hospitalization costs.
15% are 'Black Corsairs' and the others are 'White Corsairs' say regular grunts. This means you've got no logistics at all and if you would have, you'd need one of a billion people -between at least 16 and 55 which would mean the entire population group of that age in your nation- to sustain such a fighting force. Try to tone it down to a realistic army, please.

This is the 'godmodding' which we so frequently tell you about. <_<

No, Corsairio it is just not possible and is, effectively, godmodding.

Corsairio, when we say 'realistic', we don't mean: "Hey, I've got 170 million guys who have been trained once for 4 years (which in itself would already cost huge amounts of money and be a huge waste because they'll have lost whatever they learned after another 4 years) and they are a top-of-the-line army like the US army. But additionally, there's these 30 million invincible superheroes."

Please make your army more realistic (meaning at most 0.5%) of your population. The bigger the army, the less efficient (if you take a 7 million combat force, it'll be less efficient than a 2 million one - the latter will more closely approximate these mythical "Black Corsairs").

No-one will rp with you and ignore every attempt made by you to get involved in another one's rpg. So godmod-armies will be deleted by the moderator of this forum if they're not changed.

Patrua's total armed forces for instance (the 4th or 5th best in the region) consist of 1,200,000 men of which only 330,000 combat infantry men - the rest operate systems, serve on ships/plane, and do logistics and administration. Not too much compared to RL China... A 1 billion nation with a 1 million men army.
Considering you've got a 1.5 billion nation, 1.5 or 2 seems feasable. Nine million is far better than 200 million but still. Consider that kind of size.

come on, man, give me a break. can't we fantasize about some armies?

Besides that, I'm a military-minded nation. It would make more sense to have a lot of people in it.

No, we can't have fantasy type armies because this is RP and we are attaining to a real life RP.

Corsairio, I rank higher than you in the military rankings and yet my army is not 9 million (and I have a 2.13 billion pop.)
