It isn't automatic, but there's a little more to it than just roleplaying.
I recommedn that you go to the first page of the nationStates forum and read thread titled, "New to NationStates? View these great threads."
That will answer a lot of your questions. A lot of the stickies will be really helpful. I don't have it handy at the moment, but there's a pretty good tool to get started on your military called the GDP calculator. It will tell you how much money your country makes each year, and one version even breaks it down into national budget and military budget.
Make note of the nations whose posts in the stickies were most helpful to you and ask them detailed questions once you're done with the stickies themselves.
some questions werent answered, or i just overlooked them....if im at war, and someone that is 10x larger than me attacks me with a g ood RP..and there is almost no way to worm outta it...Does he control my nation or something, do i have to forfiet my password or something???
If someone attacks you like that you are defeated and will probably be flattened. You will no longer have any military might untill your country can rebuild essentially.

Depends on how he RPs it. One way to get out of it is regime change.

That's really something that you and your opponent need to work out together. Before getting involved in a war, talk to your opponent and agree on the rules and restrictions you both agree to operate under. You might also agree in advance what will happen to the loser.
War only happens when one side or another either misjudges its chances or wishes to commit suicide. You seem to be guilty of both. Your country is way too young to be getting into wars, especially with countries that have more people in their military than you have in the whole country. There are lots of countries out there with more people in their capital city than your entire population. Keep a low profile.
I am so far. Im working out the pros and cons of stuff here, what i should do and what i shouldnt.

You absolutely should not, under ANY circumstances, forfeit your nation/password. Such things are absolutely wrong... however in a worst case scenario you can agree that the winning nation creates a puppet that has something relating to your name (such as: Occupied Nazi Germany II,) but even that is frowned upon by me.
Basically it should never get to the point where the other nation has complete control. Even if they take your nation (in a good RP, if it is bad you are certainly entitled to ignore,) you can RP a resistance, a rebellion, etc., and get back control.
Have fun and enjoy nationstates.
