8 million active troops is extremely unrealistic for a nation your size.

I'd say the total troops on duty is quite unrealistic. 8 Million troops? Plus over the same plus a bit more on top in reservists? Come on, China has a population of 1.5 Billion and has an army of only 3 Million or so. Tone the Troops figures down.

That list could be little more easier to read.
8 million is possible I presume Swedish dominions has compulsory military.

the 10 million are ordinary people, they are just like the ordinary guy like you and me. They are presumed soldiers, they can enlist if they are told. We don't pay em' if they are not active, so i just have like 3 million active and 3 million reserves (people in camp).
