400 isnt really alot you know...your military could be like 50% or 75% of your population, it depends on what type of govt you have

unless you force your people into enlisting, or if military is compulsory

then thats your reason why you wont enlist everyone, but it is possible to have your whole population in the military, but then if they all get killed, you have no more country

Well, following the principles of the Command & Conquer game (correct me if I'm wrong) NOD is pretty much a terrorist organization. I don't think it would have industries. You'd feed off of the country that your men are positioned/harbored in, so it would, quite logically, be possible for you to have 100% military enlistment! Of course, I could be way off...

Your military could be at tops 5%.

OOC: Yeah. It could concievably be an assload higher than 400, but waaaaaaay less than %50. Even with compulsory military service not everyone's running around in the army at once, but it would give you a much larger pool of people already trained and equipped ready to fight in case of war.

basically.. standing armies in the real world rarely rise above %1 active duty personnel. North Korea is an exception of course, but because of that their economy is completely FUBAR. And its troops are probably individually less effective in combat because resources would be relatively stretched thing.

of course.. you can have alot more troops in actual wartime scenarios, especially when defending your own territory. The Soviets put at least 10 million troops into the field during WWII if I'm not mistaken.

Realisticly, only as much as 5% of your pop should EVER be military EVER!

That makes a bit of a difference. You could have a 3% military, which is a good all-around number. That ought to give you... I don't know... maybe a couple thousand men?

Umm... note that you were quoting Brotherhood of Nod there, not NOD Forces.

NOD Forces - New player, small army, no real impact.

Brotherhood of Nod - Ancient, uber-powerful player, owns a very respectable fraction of the world, conscripts anything with two working limbs and has enough WMD's to blow up the world many, many times over.

He may have more than a couple of thousand men.

Never, ever, give any kind of advise to nations. Please, never again.

They really shouldn´t be corrupted...

*Notes 1% in peacetime is the upper limit, realistically speaking... For a terrorist organisation with land claims, the organisation IS pretty much the military, would RP the NS pop stats as 'conquered' groups...*

Oh, btw, you might want to contact a 'Brotherhood of Nod' (nation) :P

Those without limbs make fine scientific subjects, so they still have their use :wink:
