It's reasonable... all I have are 2,000 elite women with G36's, swords, armour, and soon equipped with 40 dropships... :cry:

Your ground forces should generaly be no more than 2% of your population during peacetime.

Your population = 289 million.

Divide that by 0.02, and you should have appoximately 5,780,000 troops in your total armed forces (army, navy, air force, marines, special ops, etc.).

Hope that helps.
