OK, I know how everyone likes everyone they encounter to have a well documented military force. Up until this thread I have failed to meet such a standard. However, this thread not only states my military status, but it does so per million of my population, so updating will be minimal. I went with the standard 5% of population in active service. Note that Muktar is landlocked, and thus requires no navy. Transport to foes that cannot be reached by land is usually done with assistence of allies. Muktar is currently at 733 million, so multiply the below by 733.

50,000 Soldiers per 1,000,000 in population.

Infantry (35,000 spm):
1 Legion
2,500 Standard Units per Legion
1,000 Guerilla Units per Legion
Standard Unit:
7 Infantry - Full Body Armor, Frag Grenades, Assault Rifle
2 Field Medics - Torso and Head Armor, Medikit, Automatic Handgun
1 Ballisteer - Full Body Armor, Automatic Handgun, RPG Launcher
Guerilla Unit (all have camoflauge):
7 Guerillas - Torso and Head Armor, Smoke Grenades, Automatic Handgun
2 Field Medics - As above.
1 Sniper - Torso and Head Armor, Automatic Handgun, Sniper Rifle

Land Armor (10,000 spm):
1 Legion
250 Units per Legion
Unit:
20 Muktari Tanks - Moderate Armor and Speed, Missile Pod, Siege Cannon, 2 crew

Air Force (5,000 spm):
1 Legion
500 Standard Units per Legion
250 Helicopter Units per Legion
250 Bomber Units per Legion
Standard Unit:
5 Muktari Attack Fighters - Moderate Armor, Belly Autocannon, Wing Missiles
Helicopter Unit:
5 Muktari Helicopters - Light Armor, Belly Guns, Tranport for a Infantry Unit
Bomber Unit:
5 Muktari Bombers - Stealth Systems, High Speed, various payloads.

Sorry I couldn't get pics. Questions, comments?

OOC:Um 5% is for dictatorships and is unhealthy for your economy. yours isnt quite that, so 2% is more reasonable as a limit, though bear in mind, most elite, non compulsory armies are .5%, so you might wanty to try cutting your army down by about 80-60% (ie down to 2 oe even 1%) and enjoy an elite realistic and better equiped (ie leaves you money in your pockets) army. Your army is bigger for 2million than my whole army is for 32mil...

Urgh, im in a archipelago, my country is spread accross and increasing number of islands, i have a huge (for my size) navy.

Oh and the cost of that airforce is very high, I havent seen your economy for the years it has existed (and so you could have been building up gradually and you are a powerhouse economy) but still, 5000 aircraft for each 1000000 people again, is a lot. (bear in mind you have to buy or build them) (builfding is cheaper but requires some research beforehand which is a sunk cost)

Thank you for the input. So you know, My civil and political rights rather low, and my economy is indeed a powerhouse. Also, consider the ammount of money I save by the lack of a navy. I'll transfer some aircraft over to infantry.
