You don't have even a 1/20th that amount in goverment expenditures. Ignore that. I suggest you try something much, much smaller. Thank You :)

You can't use different nations to fund yourself even if they are your colony. NS considers that a godmod. And VM isn't even rich enough for $1 trillion.
700 trillion pounds of food!!? Not even the biggest nation on NS is capable of having that much!!!!!

The Republik condemns this vicious attack on Urcean civilians and military personnel. This crime cannot be justified, no matter the percieved reason. With the permission of the Urcean government, Verghastinsel will begin supply flights to the affected town of Hayes. Also, a company of the 88th Legion will parachute into Urcea. These men will be under the command of the Urcean government for the time being, with standing orders to assist them in the hunt for the perpetrators of the attack.

OIS Satellite Monitoring Station
Valhalla Command Center
Transnapastain
The SatRec (Satellite Reconnaissance) room was, in essence, a large sphere, dominated by the large, holographic projected globe in the center, showing the orbits of all of the Air Fleets surveillance satellites. Banks of computers and monitors wrapped around the globe, with technicians and analysts scurrying about, as officers worked from their offices situated on the balcony above.
“Did you read the paper this morning?” asked Senior Analyst Kathy Devilon.
“No, too busy trying to finish this report…” muttered Senior Intelligence Analyst Gregory Faras. Who had been with the Office of Internal Security for over 45 years
“Oh, well. There was an explosion in some back water nation, Urcea…” she began
“And? I’m supposed to be surprised by this? With the way the world is these days, there at least fifty different wars happening in one hemisphere of the world at a time. It makes me sick. Since the creation of the Directorate centuries ago, there has never been an inter-alliance war, and I don’t think there ever will be.” Said Faras
“Yes sir, but, if these wars weren’t happening, we wouldn’t have jobs as analysts, now would we?” she countered
“Point taken, Analyst, anyways, continue with the story?”
“According to the reports, a suicide bomber blew apart an armory in a small border town, obliterating the city. It seems that some 20,000 people are now displaced and wandering in the wilderness.”
“Don’t they have enough sense to head for the next town?” asked Faras
“They do, I’m sure, sir, but, the next town is a ways off, and many of the will die in the hostile terrain. Anyways, according to the small dossier we’ve collected on them, they’re military is ill-equipped to locate the displaced people…” Devilon concluded
“Oh, I get it, you want to utilize some of our assets to help them find these people. Since when has charity become part of the job Analyst?” asked Faras
“Sir! With due respect, that kind of statement could be considered minor heresy! You know perfectly well that the Church teaches us to take care of our brethren, even if they are not Transnapastani in origin. Their leader is a God-fearing man, it seems, and thus it is our duty to act t save these people.”
Faras nodded in agreement, though, it was quite obvious that he didn’t share her sentiment, and was more concern over her charge of heresy.
“Alright then. Contact them. Tel them we’re willing to aid in the search by sending in 3 R-7 Overseer reconnaissance aircraft. They can use their thermal cameras to pinpoint people on the ground, and co-ordinate with ground forces. Escort the aircraft with 2 F-41’s each, and send in a C-17 with a detachment of Transnapastani Rangers, and an element of the 51st Airborne, equipped with ATV’s and 2 or 3 HMMWV's to assist with the ground effort.” Said Faras. "“of course, they can always just use their cameras to record the landscape, too, should be a good intelligence gathering opportunity, don’t you agree?” he added, as an after thought. " Picking up his phone, he added, "I’ll contact Myrst Air Fleet base and have it set up, you send this, “he said, handing her a PDA he’d been tapping on, “Up to Sub-Commander Bernard, and get his OK on it.”
“Thank you sir.” She said, saluting and departing the room
Reflecting, Faras couldn’t remember the ranks of the OIS being so infiltrated with the religious. It was true that the nation was run by the church, and over 95”% of the population swore allegiance to the Church and the Executer, but the OIS had always maintained the mission it had been given since its creation decades ago, to protect the security of the state at all costs, no matter who was running it at the time. It was same what alarming, he thought, that so many believers had penetrated its ranks…

No I mean creating seperate nation and then adding their stats to your empire. If your colonies are not really nations that you created then its okay. But if you created seperate nations and then use their stats together for your overall empire, than its a godmod. And okay now it makes sense. Thank You. :)

Hauptoffzier Damian Engels sits in his office looking over a bill that has been passed through the three branches of legislature and now sent to him for approval or veto. If approved, the bill will authorize sending 400,000 men to Urcea to help protect the nation in case of another attack.
Damian Engels has been thinking about it for several minutes now. Finally, he pulls out his red pen and signs his name. "There we go," he says. He picks up the phone on his desk and dials a number.
A lady answers. "Hello, this is the Department of the Army. How may I help you?"
"Hello," Damian says, "this is Damian Engels. I'd like to speak with Chief Field Marshal Waters please."
"Oh, good afternoon, Mr. Engels! I'll check to see if Field Marshal Waters is avaliable." There is a brief pause. "He's in the middle of a meeting right now. Want me to leave a message?"
"Yes, yes, that'll be fine. Tell him to get 400,000 men ready to be shipped off to Urcea." Damian hangs up.

IC: Over International Waters approaching Urcea
This is Defrost, call-sign Overseer 1, We’ve already got our permission to head in.” announced Major Michel Defrost, Mission commander, riding in one of the R-7 Overseer Recon craft. “So, the R-7’s can go ahead and make their runs. Rapier flight, move to high escort position. C-17, call-sign Sparrow, contact Urcea ATC and get bearings on a landing zone, transmit positions to the R-7’s.”
“Rapier 1, Rodger, fighters assuming high guard.”
“Sparrow here. Affirmative, requesting landing vectors now.”
Defrost watched as the fighters maneuvered high above them in the night sky, and the C-17 banked off, heading towards the Urceaian mainland.
“Overseer 2, take the northern approach, Overseer 3, southern approach, sweep in a light arc, and well re-form at the edge of the forest. “
“Copy that.” Responded the pilots
“Alright, we’re approaching the target zone, activating thermal cameras in 3…2…1, and we’re go.”
The cameras began to display on the monitors, and light up brightly as the R-7 passed over the still-burning fires of the armory. Then, as they flashed past, they began to pick up smaller images in the darken landscape below.
“Adjusting…OK, we’re seeing people now.” Announced the camera operator.
Below them, showing on the monitor, we’re clusters of heat that could only be groups of people, or packs of animals. Also, as expected, single lights could be spotted on the ground where the survivors had made fires to warm themselves at night, or cook their meals.
“Alright, establish an uplink with Urcea Air Force, and make sure their receiving these pictures.” ordered Defrost
About midway through their sweep, their communications console lit up with a communication from Sparrow.
“Overseer Flight, This is Sparrow. We’re on final approach to the air field, sending our co-ordinates.”
“Received, Sparrow, We’re on the last leg of our run, ETA, 20 minutes, see you on the ground shortly.” Announced Defrost, as the R-7’s continued their flights.

Yeah I know he's FT but even FT nation's can't make nations and then call them their main nation's colony and use there stats to combine with the main nation's stats. ;)

OOC: Lets see if I can still do a long post....the ships specs are right here...
http://hawk.proboards1.com/index.cgi?board=Military&action=display&thread=1103679193
IC:
In the dark void of space above the blue marble of NS Earth, a disruption in space took form. An exit from some form of long-distance travel was taking place, bright as it was it signaled that this hadn't been done with the travelling ship in a while. The disturbance in space lasted for minute, at the most. In the end, all that was left was a starship.
The ACH Liberty, one of the seven oldest Heavy Cruisers in the fleet, maintained orbit above the Nation of Urcea. The Captain on-board soon got word that it would be safe to enter their air-space, and, immedietly ordered a slow entry into the Earth's Atmosphere.
During this time, the Captain spoke with his second-in-command.
"Commander," started Captain Yucile, "Young nation?"
Commander Jac nodded, "Yes sir, I believe so. We've been away far too long."
Yucile agreed, "Indeed we have."
Silenced ensued for a few minutes, Commander Jac breaking it. "So....I suppose that now were trying out this Empire gig we should be professional."
Everyone on the bridge looked at the Captain, he looked back, thinking. A few moments past, then he shook his head.
"Nah, were still a democracy."
Soon the Liberty slowed to a halt over Urcea, the Heavy Cruiser shutting down the automatic shielding. Its hanger-bay door opened, and two squads of five XF-200 Super Starfighter's were launched, along with a strange drop-ship like aircraft that looked much like a recon aircraft.
The Captain nodded to the Comms officer, and a message of greetings and arrival was sent, wondering mainly what they could do to help.
The Urcea air force recieved the pictures, and sent it to Supreme Urcea Command, New London.

IC:
Alpha and Tango squadrons flew high in Urcea airspace, their Main Recon being a wierd looking Hammerhead Fighter. It was well-equipped for such duties, but this one was special. On top of its frame was fitted a sensor array, and every second non-harmful microwave pulses were sent to scan the Nation of Urcea. This was a safer alternative to using the Liberty's Massive and, possibly, harmful Microwave Sensory Array.
The Two Squads of XF-200 Super Starfighters converged after a round of scouting low and high. Both Squad leaders began to chat for a bit over the radio, easily picked up by anyone nearby.
Alpha Leader: Anything new?
Tango Leader: Well, Jackal's getting news that an explosion occured. That village to the right seems to have been the target. An armory or something.
Alpha Leader: Whats the Hammerhead got?
Tango Leader: Reporting no unusual activity. Were the biggest thing in the sky right now.
Alpha Leader: Understood. Let's do another sweep, then report in.
Tango Leader: Copy Colonel.
