General Tilis

ok, lets recap.

Your nation size: 100 million (precisely)
The weight of this carrier: 630,000t
Amount you're ordering: 150

So... a nation the third the size of America is ordering, in carriers alone, just approximately 70~ the size of Ameriac's total navy.
No.

Your nation is going to be able to support one of these, tops. Maybe not even that if you want a balanced fleet.

Also, the cost of producing this is going to be well in excess of 20 billion. Probably more like 50-70.

Also you mention a massive amount of Z-12s. I don't know what they are but if you need 150 630,000t carriers to carry them this just makes it even worse.

Insightful!

@Katislov: LOL

@Questers: I think Z-12's are those wanktastic planes he posted a thread about last night. I would refer him to the draftroom bit he has already been there. Rosdivian locked his thread as spam...
