Could someone let me know how to budget my military. I know that you cant spend whatever you want, but I'm not sure the percentage. Any helpful insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

This is the website I used to determine your GNP.

For population, enter: 6 million
Economy: Good
Government: Conservative Democracy
Tax Rate: 24
Tax Regime: By reading your nation description, it says that your tax regime is an "average" rate, so pick that.
Military Spending is up to you. Obviously, it can't be 100%, then you have nothing for education, health-care, etc. I put mine from 10-20%, depending if I'm at war or not.

The National Budget that I got for you is: 22.924 billion
The Military Budget that I got for you is: 2.292 billion, that is, if you're using 10%, since that's what I entered. If you wanted 20%, then just type in 20, rather than 10.

These are the calculators that I know of. The one I did for you is #3, however, if you would like to try any of the other ones out, feel free. Some people say that specific ones are more accurate than the others. That's up to you to decide. Good luck!

For RP, see Euroslavia's post.

For In-game nation - there's an issue with about 6 different options, in there you can choose where the majority of military funding goes. ie, Navy, Army, Air Force...
