-How to calculate for your nation's military list -

Introduction:
Every nation begins with 250 military points. The next step is to take your country’s total population, multiply that number by 3, and then add it to the base 250 points. For example, if your country has 15 million people, then:

15 x 3 = 45 + 250 = 295

Economic modifier:
The next step is to figure in the strength of your economy. Take your end result from the initial step above, and multiply it by the number listed beside your Nation States economy rating. Assuming if our example nation has a “Strong” economy, then:

295 x 1.7 = 501.5

- Frightening = 2.2
- All-Consuming = 2.1
- Powerhouse = 2.0
- Thriving = 1.9
- Very Strong = 1.8
- Strong = 1.7
- Good = 1.6
- Fair = 1.5
- Reasonable = 1.3
- Developing = 1.1
- Weak = 0.9
- Struggling = 0.8
- Fragile = 0.6
- Basket case = 0.4
- Imploded = 0.2

Budget modifier:
The final step is figuring in how much of your budget is dedicated to national defense. This is determined by looking at your Nation States profile. If the profile of our example country profile states "fiercely patriotic", then:

501.5 x 24% = 120 points

- ruled by Dept of Defense = 37%
- mostly devoted to defense ("compulsory military service") = 30%
- mainly concerned with defense ("fiercely patriotic") = 24%
- defense juggled with other issues ("hard-nosed population") = 19%
- defense subordinate to other issues = 15%
- no mention of defense = 12%
- if you don't want to spend any tax money on the army = 10%


And finally you can spend all your points. You can see prices and requirement below.

1 - Type of unit (no need to explain that I think)

2 - Numbers you get for buying one unit (well sometimes you buy units and not just 1 single plane or soldier. The accent number of troops / vehicles /planes / ships you get per unit is typed in red)

3 - Number of soldier needed to operate ship / tank/ plane (all planes/ ships / tanks need crew. In green you can see the number needed to equip a single tank / plane / ship.)
