I have a question regarding the thirdgeek NSeconomy calculator, and RP'ing rules. With the 'Government Budget Details', is that an annual number for expenditure of each area? And if so what counts as a 'year' in NS Rping in International Incidents?

The numbers listed, I believe are annual figures.

As to what "makes up a year" there's very little concensus about a hard figure

Many storefronts say 1 RL week = 1 NS year, others of course vary

In RP's generally exact numbers are not used however if you do, the general consensus is "at the speed of plot" in essence if a year passes in the RP you get a new amount of "budget" to spend though in reality the budget would be spent progressively over the "year" with perhaps alot being spent at the end. As is usual with government departments.
