OOC: Am I the only nation in the entire world that doesn't have a freaking air force?

OOC: If you don't have one you obviously aren't that intelligent. Air Force = mobile destruction, one of the most powerful forces in the world. Can kill infantry, ships, buildings, and even other airplanes. No offense, I didn't mean the whole "obviously aren't that intelligent" bit as an overall statement, just that when in regards to military, you aren't that knowledgeable

My nation is nomadic herders/huntergatherers/permaculturists. There's only one city to speak of in the entire land. I don't think an air force is horribly neccesary, nor feasable.

you should have a maximum of 2% of your population in your entire armed forces. I can't be bothered to work it out.

Not everyone has an Airfroce some people merely have an army aviation organisation (or a naval version).

unfortuantly any sustainable modern government needs some air units for vital tasks such as SAR and comunications/transports. This doesn't actually have to include any fighters in fact there are a number of RL airfroces who employ only helicopters and a tiny number of transport planes


United Korean Nations: your military seems fine, i might argue the ppoint behind having a bomber force but tat is a purely personal opinion.

Wartime means a draft(if you choose) which could boost it to 5%. You won't maintain that for a long time and your economy will suffer, but it is feasible.

our military was recently greatly cut back. We have an army/national guard to defend our borders, serve as peace keepers in both our nation and others and of course our defense (only on our soil we refuse to attack other nations) we will also send troops in to defend israel and other allies if need be however only if absolutely nescessary (these nations can likely defend themselves) we have a small airforce and navy as well.

LEvels of greatness in size and so on

Navy:2.5-3
airforce:3
Army/guard:4

Spending and use is kept under control and we have no foreign bases etc. we stay within our borders but if need be will come to defense of allies but only if absolutely nescessary as stated before, only men of 18 or older are allowed in service and they are well funded (pretty much military is the governments only spending)

Their is no draft all those involved are professionals.

Our military is reasonably sized. We have a navy,army/national guard and airforce. We stay to ourselves but will defend others in our region and other allies (Such as israel etc.) if absolutely nescessary, we will certainly defend ourselves we do this by encouraging citizens who are armed to fight or to get armed and fight during time of invasion/attack.

Our military is made up of professionals there is no draft. Its men only and gay men are allowed but the policy is don't ask don't tell.

We also have a day once a year to honor our servicemen and military system.

we also have for our defense a great anti missile defense system.
