NationStates Jolt Archive

I've been reading for about half an hour (not that half an hour is exeptionally long) now and I still haven't found any estimate on what a "reasonable" military budget constitutes. How does one make out how much money it would be acceptable for one's nation to spend on defence?

I'm sure this question is answered somewhere else in this forum (probably in one of the stickers), but seeing the number of people asking about the soundness of their military budget I wouldn't call it "readily available".

The main reason you can't find anything anymore is because they removed the search function (does anyon know why)

A reasonably amount is about 0%-15% (in extreme cases.)

And how do I make out my national budget? The only GNP-calculators I'm finding are dead (not working anymore).

Thanks for the info Kazaakisthan.

http://www.esyn.org/SOTA/NationStates.html - try this to calculate your stats.

Thanks Eredron. That's a great tool!

The link no longer seem to work. Could anyone suggest a similar tool?

In the URL, replace EREDRON with your nation's name. You can also tweak what percentage your military budget is by changing the 13 to a higher/lower number.

Thanks again.
