Please check to see if this makes sense.

Military: The Commonalitarianism is militant isolationist. They are zealous of their borders which are basically undefinable according to current international law. They have problems with piracy. Sometimes unknowingly nuclear submarines approach their cities too closely because they are operating in "international" waters. They have launched 2 radar satellites to track this problem. They want nuclear weapons to counter the problem of the wandering submarines in their territory. They have mostly kept silent on this problem. It may lead to a deadly international incident. The nuclear submarine problem has led them to recently build a fleet of state of the art submarine carriers. Their military is mostly a Civil Navy. Until recently there was no central command, each allied city state armed itself They have very little airforce. They are seeking to upgrade a central airforce. They are also seeking to build a small amount of armor to protect their land positions. . I need a little help with these figures.

This cost $60 billion dollars. We are assuming a country close to three times the population of South Korea which has conscription. South Korea pays $20 billion for its defense forces per annum.

The Freebooter fast patrol boats offer speed and firepower in one must have package, utilizing the surface-air effect these ‘boats’ actually cruise about 4 meters Above the surface of the water. The ‘boat’ looks like a weird Sci-Fiesque hover vehicle with a boat stuck through it. The FPAs use MHDs to achieve ‘take off speed’ after which they rev up the two custom designed turbo jet engines that allow them to cruise in excess of fifty knots or kick up to 400 knots with out after burner. The Freebooters are designed for limited amphibious ability as well; smooth beaches and wide even roads could both allow FPAs significant overland range as long as it doesn’t attempt any steep inclines over three meters high, also, if it stops over land, it must be hauled back to sea to start up again. In rough seas it can easily take anything up to a six meter wave straight on. The Machine guns are attached to gyroscopically stabilized mounts that allow a gunner to fire with reasonable accuracy over longer distances and the two missile mounts are equipped to fire the ‘Swallow’ multi-role surface to air/surface to surface missiles.

Each city has a Grange broken into several buildings to avoid being easily destroyed-- a kind of mutual military association and training grounds. There are also small arms depots built into the police buildings in case of invasion. .

Conscription: With Conscription between 18 and 21 there is a huge number of soldiers available 12% of the population, Plus an officers core, Special Forces, and Regular Military-- a very large navy. There is now a small airforce and aquatic tank division. Training includes combat training plus 2 year equivalency to associates degree or technical degree. Intensive. Officers go to the main military academy at Liberty Arcology.

Nuclear: The Commonalitarianism Does Not have nukes. It has a single terror weapon—a 10 megaton ball lightning warhead which pulses electromagnetic and microwave radiation when exploded. The first of its kind. This is a secret weapon.
