"Today, more than ever do we feal the threat to have a much larger military to prevent us from being destroyed! We feel the need to to restart the program that the Kilgar had initiated, to re-arm Afrika, and to make sure we are the invincible power that we once were! We have the industry, we have the money, we have the economy, we have the resources, we shall begin immediatley." Joseph Himmik

The Gesut enacted the Naso Rearmament Program, which would put ten trillion dollars a year into rearming the military for about five years. The military would enact the conscription program so that the materials they had would not be wasted. The entire military would be up to fifty million troops, but only fifteen million would be active duty. Compared to the current fifteen million total, and five million active.

The Navy, had enough ships, they just needed to repair the over 3,000 ships. The entire Navy was slupplied by foreign companies, and a few Afrikaan Companies. The navy was small compard to the total unit, about 3 million sailors. The entire navy was to be repaired and upgraded. The Air Force has over two million pilots and service crews. The Air Force has over 5,000 planes though, and all were to be replaced with new planes. The Marines and the Army have over 5,000 helicopters, of which all which will be replaced with new alternatives.

The Land Forces in total had over 10,000 MBTs and over a million other land vehicles. The majority were trucks used by the military to carry supplies, soldiers, and equipment. All were to be replace with modern alternatives. The infantry were being equipped with the new infantry weapons, grenades, equipment, tents, and body armour and other various tools such as the Battle Network. The entire Afrikaan Military was being revamped.

The National Guard were setting up defence positions for Anti-Air, Anti-Naval, and Anti-Land defence systems. Including: Radar Network, SAM Network, Harpoon Network, Artillery Network, Heavy Gun Network, Missile Down Network, Cruise Network, ICBM Networt, Chemical Network and fortresses. The contruction crews of the Military were building more military bases all over the country to replace the old ones, the bases would be put into huge groups and could hold millions of soldiers the entire country was becoming more and more defence, through offence.

OOC: Just to let you all know, my country is becoming one of thoose hard to attack nations, because I uh, fear being attacked.

OOC: What is godmodding? Buying almost every defence weapon availble, I don't know what your talking about... Hitler did it, in about half the time, I am doing the funding for about five years, and then constuction for up to twenty years.

Edit: Or it could because maybe your nation has never been a military based economy, with almost half our jobs coming from military or police uses. Our economy is stronger than mosts, and most of it is military, I don't know what it could be...

Edit II: Or it could be that half the stuff is already constructed, I don't know...have you ever considered something called "conscripted workforce" "conscripted military" and "rationing"...

And what? It is NS allowable to have up 5% of population in the military, I am using about 2.6/2.7%. Which from what I was told, perfectly exceptable.

First off, 5% is not acceptable, IMO, as a long-term number. It is appropriate only when you are actively engaged in a military conflict.

And, IMO, people who blindly follow that "3% is always acceptable" garbage are those more worried about numberwanking than in realism.

Oh well, I really don't care.

To me this not Godmod, well, depending on the number of ships he has and their sizes. America's navy I am sure has something like half a million men in it. Adding to his size of about 2 billion (guessing) this is extremely feasilbe, expecially if he depends on his navy.
I myself have a small navy even if I am an island nation, but I require the crews of double that of my number becouse of what the ships are. Submarines. Submarine Aircraft Carriers, Destroyers, all those are now submarines with escorts and missle cruisers being replaced with SSGN/SSBNs-SSD/SSNs.

Now to his airforce, I have not a problem there but what you are saying is that you have an extremely expencive A/F. That many people in the Airforce? Well, to the pilots, I would say your number times 1.5 to make up for multicrew bombers and such, but maintance crews should be double. This does not add up to me personaly.

As to his ground forces, I know nothing there, so I will not comment.

National Guard, same as ground forces. Except for the whole fortress idea. I tryed that with the Highway to Hell Base, a line of bases down the middle of my main island of Emerald Island. It did not work becouse it is extremely expencive and so on. Since you are land locked you might not need bases on seperate islands so, don't read what I said ;-).

Besides that (which little is left) Good writings.
