I have a military statistic etc sorted in my factbook, but it is incomplete. I am looking for naming of seperate divisions and things. However, I need some help.

I need to know at my pop (20mill on 12/03/06) what divisions and in what number sound right, and if possible at around what stage more would be made.

I am asking this to avoid godmodding charges and to make my nation as realistic as possible. Thank you in advance.

First of, Much depends on what branches your armed forces have and what their task is.
If you are an Island then you need a good air and naval arm, while as a landlocked nation you focus on army and airforce.
Then the question is, Does the terrain in your nation allow for easy movement and good infrastructure? Mountainous nations require mountaindivisions while flat nations would do better with armour and mechanized stuff.

Thanks for the help, so if I am a nation (this is my nation by the way) who is not an island, but has two sea connections, with mountains and deserts and flat plains between, with varying temperatures due to sheer size, I will need:

Mountain divisions
Mechanized
Troops suited to desert terrain
Naval divisions
Air force
Standard army

Off to work I go...
