OOC: I have roleplayed on differnt forums etc. before, so I'm OK with etiquette, I'm just lost as to how this whole army thing works. I've tried, and failed to make sense of calculating my GDP but which one says the amount that I can use on military, what is wiring money etc. Could anyone help me out?

Did you check out all of the stickies at the top of I.I.? They contain most of the stuff you need to know. Anyway, there is no "real" money, it's freefrom RPing. Wiring is how money is given, like a telegram. The storfronts are where you but stuff for your army.

Also, the Pipian calc. is a little generous, there are some calcs. out there that give a better idea.

One day for one year is really too short. A better system to use would be one RL day equals one NS month, at the least. I have one of the longer years I've seen, and I use 1 3/4 RL day = one NS month (21 RL day year).
