Msn...go to this thread....and read the threads that are mentioned there...if you read those you should have a fair idea of how the role play works...and you can also find information on how to create your military
And consider spending a larger amount of money. $88 a man doesn't really buy much...
It can get a Mosin-Nagant 1891/30 and some ammution.

You're a nation of 16 million people with an army of 1 million?

A Mosin-Nagant 1891/30 and about 60 rounds of ammo each.

OOC: Year before last, in Iraq, you could buy an AK47 off a bloke in the street for about £60.

OOC: But you have to use those rounds to catch dinner for yourself and your family and make yourself a uniform out of rabbit skins until somebody puts in a few billion more dollars to get the pay rolling, mind :)
We just fought a war, armed largely with Mosin-Nagants and a few PPSh-43, and did exactly that. (Yeah, we lost.)

OOC: That is an excellent point. A 91/30 is probably not a good choice for rabbits though.

Yeah, especially if you want something left to eat.

60 pounds is more than $88. :P

Well, he could try purchasing one rifle for every one man, and one clip of ammunition for every other man. That’d really help him slash the military budget in two…of course, lets not talk about military efficiency here….logistics? what’s that?
Or he could just convert to a nomadic social structure, give everybody, men, women, children, a spear, and say, "Kill!"
(I've been considering making a concept nation along those lines, something like United Cavemen or whatever)

Sounds extremely interesting...but....wont you need to be more specific....lest they begin killing one another....then they wouldn’t be so unfired....You got to make the leaders name Gug or something though!

I don’t know though
I still think it’d be funny to see in an RP the oft used scene
Commissar: Comrades of the Soviet Union, you fight today for your brethren, for your motherland, and for your leader! Make Comrade Stalin proud!
Sergeant: Okay, this is your rifle (holds up Mosin-Nagant) the man in the front gets the rifle, the man in the back gets the ammunition. When the man in the front is killed, the man with the ammunition picks up the rifle and continues running forward
(The Commissar breaks in) Commissar: That’s right Comrades! NO RETREAT, ADVANCE! Retreaters will be shot along with their families! NO RETREAT! FORWARD COMRADES for the glory of the Soviet Union! (Fires Makorov into the air whilst blowing whistle)
