Simulation Act Idea

[Brian O'Gara]

I've recently been looking other micronational militaries, and, even though we are a relatively large one, at 8 citizens, we have a very small military. For example, although the Kingdom of Lovely only has a total of 4 citizens on their forum (http://ninetyone.org/lovely/smf/index.php), of which only 2 are really active, 1 has just signed up, and 1 has only two posts, the size of our armed forces pales in comparison to theirs. They have a total of 30,000 Infantrymen in addition to enough soldiers to operate the following vehicles:
100x FV102 Striker tanks
200x FV107 Scimitar Tanks
50x Stormer HVMs
10x Apache helicopters
20x Westland Lynxs
750x Challenger II tanks
1500x Warrior IFVs
150x AS-90
enough airmen to man this many planes:
64x Eurofighter Typhoons
96x Tornado F3s
16x B-52 Stratofortresses
32x Avro Vulcans
80x Tornado GR4s
16x Nimrod MRA4s
48x F-35L Lightnings
16x F/A 18 Hornets
80x C-130 Hercules Transports
32x Harrier G.R 9s
32x Galaxy Transports
Enough Sailors to man:
3x Colony Class SSN
5x Dignatory Class Type 23L Frigate
7x Admiral Class Type 45L Air Defence Destroyers
1x Freedom Class Assault ship/Helicopter Carrie
1x Jon Bond class aircraft carrier
2x Spexico Class Battleship
1x New Brittanian Hood Class Battlesh
1x Behemoth Class Assault Ship

Obviously their military more than doubles ours, while our real-life count of citizens exactly doubles theirs (more, if you only count active citizens). Because I believe we certainly need a larger military if we are to compete with the likes of this, I propose that we increase it dramatically. My proposal is that we write up an amendment to the Simulation Act that increases the ration of NPC citizens to RPC citizens, which would enable us, among other things, to have a much larger military force. Before doing so, I'd like to hear your opinions about the idea.

this would require a change in the Simulation Act passed last December, which states that for every 1 real citizen we have, there will be 75,000 'non-player citizens', or NPCs. Of that population, it is further broken down, until we get our final number. I wouldn't be opposed to changing this, however.

[Brian O'Gara]

I'm thinking that maybe 10,000,000 non-player citizens per every real citizen. This would put us at a population of 80,000,000; which is just about the same as Germany and 20,000,000 people larger than Great Britain. A dual advantage, from the military perspective, is that we can have a much larger military, while takes a much more reasonable percentage of the population. For example, instead of 10% of the male population, we could have a military that takes only 0.5 percent of the (entire) population and is 400,000 people strong, approximately the size of the combined British Armed Forces, and with only 1% of the population we could have double that.

I see no problem with this. what do the honorable members of parliament think?

Your Majesty, while I do not have an issue with you dropping by, I do need to remind you that you are not allowed to post in this forum.

Please take your discussion with Mr. O'Gara to PM.

Thank you!

I am willing to agree with changing some numbers around. But I do think that once the ratio is changed, we ought to keep it that way.

[lashrash]

I agree as well. Maybe we need to look at other nations, perhaps the GSO has a forumla that we are not aware of and use that one? Just a thought.

[Kilikopela]

If I were to see the specific language than I would probably support this legislation.

Thank You and Humbly,

I have been looking and I can't find a formula on MNN or th GSO site. I am not done looking I will come back soon.
