"This year we are focusing our budget on defence as of late there have been more and more conflicts and the world is a more dangerous place with every day. Our budget for this year is as follows:

The total budget for this year is 52 Billion Gibbons(§). Of that, 25% (§13 Billion) will be used on Defence and the Military. Law Enforcement is receiving 20% (§10.4 Billion) of the budget. Next on the list is Commerce and Imports, each receiving 15% (§7.8 Billion each) to spend this year. Education will receive 10% (§5.2 Billion). Agriculture is being given 10% (§5.2 Billion) as well. The remaining 25% (§13 Billion) will be spent as is seen fit wherever it is needed."

Ms. Ybon passes out charts:

"I now present Minister of the Military, General Lyssiah Do'Urdel with the army sizes for this year. General Do'Urdel?"

General Do'Urdel steps up to the podium.

OOC: I will post sizes in a bit. I am basing the year on one RL week. If you have any comments, please telagram me.

OOC:I hate to rain on your parade but are you sure your country has anything like that much money. Id refer you to a good gGDP calc but the best on is down and the pipian one is accurate but unrealistic. (ie the one id reccomoned adjusts tax revenue deopending on your state type, which actually makes sense as differnet regimes would have other taxes)

Anyway unless you are powerhouse economy with 100% ish tax i doubt you have one trillion dollars.

*checks country*

your tax rate is 5% you might have few indirect (or other direct) taxes but you arent going to have more than 10% of your nations GDP for your budget..

so maybe $20000bn (thriving) *26 million is $520bn with about$52bn total budget...

My nation is Population: 1,081,000,000
yet my National Budget is $3,644,969,850,000! how you manage to get so many trillion at that population

bump

General Do'Urdel steps up to the podium:

"Due to many potential conflicts we have stepped up our military. We have lowered the military age to 17 and require all citizens to join the army for 3 years, minimum. We have set up several small ready teams and have 3 highly trained special operations teams in existence. One of which, Wraith Unit, is currently in action. This year, as is stated in the budget, Defence and the Military is the largest expenditure."

OOC:I hate to rain on your parade but are you sure your country has anything like that much money.

so maybe $20000bn (thriving) *26 million is $520bn with about$52bn total budget...

Sorry... My mistake, Is this better? Thank you for the help

Id refer you to a good gGDP calc but the best on is down and the pipian one is accurate but unrealistic. (ie the one id reccomoned adjusts tax revenue deopending on your state type, which actually makes sense as differnet regimes would have other taxes)

Two questions:

1) How can the Pipian one be "accurate but unrealistic"

and

2) Which is the best one that you refer to? Is it this one http://members.fortunecity.com/thracetailteann/html/gnp.html?
