Well, there are a few rules, most of which can be explained in the forum.
1. Your military is a function of population, economy, and U.N ranking.
Generally Military is 5% of your population, if you have a dictatorship, Military can be up to 15% of your population. The stronger your economy is, the greater your military can be. If your economy is imploded, your military will be very small beacuse your economy cannot support it. On the other hand, a powerful economy can support a large military. Your U.N ranking determines the style of government. Democracy - 5% of popuation in military Dictatorship of any sort- up to 15%.
In the forum: All posts are made in character (IC) as either a character you create or an official of your government. Out of character (OOC) posts may be made to explain actions you have taken. You declare your own losses during conflict, never declare your enemy's losses. Always make sure your troops deployments are realistic and you technology is realistic. If its not, you'll be called for godmodding and ignored. you need to RP the arrival of your forces into a combat zone as well as all of their actions. Secret intentions need to be posted, other players will act as if they are still secret though.
Look through the forums periodically for storefronts, they sell military goods, usually at discounted rates. If you can't make your own military, storefronts are useful. Any other questions can prolly be answered by either me again or any of the other experienced players. (there are plenty that are more experienced than me)
