Okay I stopped being lazy (Despise math.) and did it myself.

Monaco-Ville-Nice

Population: 173,000,000
Percent of population in military: 1.2% active duty, 9% reservists. *Reservists are former soldiers who have left the active army but still train 2 weeks a year. These soldiers are poor in quality and serve primarily as a national guard.
Military Size: 2,595,000 Active and 15,570,000 Reserves.
Active Strength(non support)(1/3): 856,350
Mercenary Strength: 214,087

Divisions:53 I would probably cap this..... That is if we still use the cap?

I tweaked it a bit to make it more realistic for the area I occupy (I reduced it from ~18 million to ~14 million). Stats below.

These values may change after the end of the Ukrainian War RP.

@Celatoria, yes, these numbers may change if something dramatic happens like that. If someone decides right before they get involved in a war that they want to change their percentage from 1.5 to 3, then I won’t allow it. These numbers are very solid, and doing something like that is unfair to the rest of the RPing community.

@MVN, do you really want an army and population of that size? My nation is supposed to have more people than you, and I think that you RPing having twice as many people as me is a bit unnecessary. I can understand you having a somewhat large percentage of your people in the military, considering your unique culture, but when you have a population as massive as that, the numbers I believe are too high.

A few nations (MVN and Vulkland I think) decided to use 2 different percentages. I don’t want to do that, so how about we just average those two percentages together to create ONE percentage and active military figure. You can still RP that you have mercenaries or a large reserve, but just to make things workable how about we stick with one percent figure. I had to do this also. Byronmandy has a very large militia system in place, but having a militia percentage, as well as an active percentage would have been too much, so I just compromised and came up with one workable number. All other nations should do the same so that it doesn’t get too messy and confusing. Plus, I have to make all new military maps, so I want to make sure that everything is right before I do all of that work.

I have complied all of the info I have been given so far, (excluding MVN and Vulkland until their response) (Also, Darjistan, based on your proposed population and percentage in military, your military size would be 241,215, not 804,050. I‘m not quite sure where you got that number. Based on what you‘ve given me, you would only have four divisions. Perhaps if you increased your population or percentage a bit, you could get a higher military size figure, if that is what you desire).-

Alright I am going to make a few concessions here. This is the RL population of the countries I own. I am not willing to move down from this number. While your population is higher than mine my military budget is higher than yours. Certainly there needs to be some compromise and I feel this is my best effort at it. You can always adjust your number up and we can meet somewhere in the middle.

However, I am planning on a large change of the nation on the near future. Not sure when yet etc. But that could drop my stats EXTREMELY for a while.

Oh, my bad, I put the result of that in the wrong spot! Then went the opposite direction with the 1/3! Shortsightedness on my part! D'oh!

New stats with reserve strength taken out, though when I finally get a chance to write my factbooks I'll note it there.
