Is it OK to use different budgets to what it tells you on NSDossier?

Personaly I think budgets should be decided by you rather than some computer, but what does everyone here think?

Budgets aren't the same on all budges calculators,maybe try some other,i share your opinion but in a RP you can be accused of God-modding if your military budget is 400 mill(etc.)and you want it to be 500 mill

Could you give me some links to other budget calculators, I only know NSDossier!

here they are
1.NSe Economy (http://nseconomy.thirdgeek.com/nseconomy.php?nation=Cukarica)
2.NS Tracker (http://nstracker.jfsoftware.com/index.php?nation=cukarica&nation2=pindzurland&nation3=&nation4=&nation5=&nation6=)
There is Sunset calculator too but i dont have a link at the moment,also just change the name to Paralisa and search as the current country viewed is Cukarica.

NS Economy doesn't work, but the toher one's great. Still doesn't sort out my budget trouble, but thanks all the same.

You calculator doesn't matter much except for making purchases from a storefront. As long as you keep things reasonable you shouldn't have much trouble with accusations of god-modding. A nation with a population of 100 million cannot realistic deploy a 1,000,000 man army backed by six hundred warships and other such rubbish.

Calculators are better as a guide than something set in stone. NS RP allows you to do a lot more than your nation page allows (such as directly control tax rates, etc). If you diverge from what a calculator shows, however, keep it fairly reasonable and provide a justification for why.
