Ok; basically you have to create an army - which is kept in your head or on Word. This army should have realistic proportions and should be fully upkept with logistical personnel. If you're looking at United States type mechanization you're looking at 8 to 10 logistical personnel per front line soldier. If you are looking for ordnance to you; modern ordnance that is I suggest you look at my storefront:

Then you cruise around the forums, and talk...when someone makes you mad, either by doing warcrimes or something belligerent, you can declare war.

The way you proceed the war is called Role Playing or RP. Role Playing is done several different ways - some people do simple movement discriptions, others do dialouges - I prefer a storylike role play... if you want a good role play example look at this:

You'll get better and better as you go. Remember, when you role play embellish your posts, spell everything correctly, and I suggest you read up on weaponry and such.

Capitalize "i"

Do not use chatroom speak (sry, brb, etc.).

And read every stickied post/announcement in the International Incidents and NationStates forums.

Don't post your e-mail either -- you risk being spammed.

First:
Decide your tech level. Do you want to be medieval, modern, post-modern, future-tech, space-tech, fantasy, etc . . .

Second: Decide the type of government and society you've got. That has some major effects on your military. Are you a military dictatorship? A noble King? A corrupt parliament? Clans? Anarchy? Oligarchy?

Third:
Make a military. Do you have conscription or a volunteer army? How many persons are there? Is your army a bunch of kids armed withy with AK-47's or are they space marines? remember that small nations generlly don't have nukes, or well-developed space programs, or a sizeable military base. Exceptions do exist, and decide if you're one of those exceptions.

Fourth:
Get into a war. Has someone commited genocide against muslims and your nations is predominantly muslim? Go to war to prevent the said genocide. Alternatively, you can commit an atrocity and watch it turn into an all-out war. DON'T just nuke the next nation you see. Telegram them first asking if they want to participate.

As a suggestion: read the sticky posts at the top of the forums. tehy're the first three or so posts at the top of the first page of a forum.
