If Religion and Politics were characters on a soap opera, Religion would be the one that goes insane with jealousy over Politics' intimate relationship with Reality, and secretly murder Politics in the night, skin the corpse, and run around its apartment wearing the skin like a cape shouting "My votes now! All votes for me! Wheeee!" -- Lagmonster

Hehe, so the calculator gets much more interesting eh?
When we just increase the budget to a modest three percent more of the GDP than Bush is giving to the military of the United States, we get the following:

The Known Worlds Gross Domestic Product
Population: 1,125,000,000
Civil Rights: Good
Economy: Frightening
GDP per Capita: $35,000
GDP: $39,375,000,000,000
National Budget: $19,825,155,000,000

Percentage of GDP Spent on Defense: 7.87%
Percentage of Budget Spent on Defense: 15.63%
Military Budget: $3,098,812,500,000

Federal Territories Gross Domestic Product
Population: 480,000,000
Civil Rights: Very Good
Economy: Frightening
GDP per Capita: $35,000
GDP: $16,800,000,000,000
National Budget: $8,992,166,400,000

Percentage of GDP Spent on Defense: 8%
Percentage of Budget Spent on Defense: 14.95%
Military Budget: $1,344,000,000,000

Although the states of the UFKW are said to focus their attentions on Defense, so:

The Known Worlds Gross Domestic Product
GDP: $39,375,000,000,000
National Budget: $19,825,155,000,000
Percentage of GDP Spent on Defense: 16%
Percentage of Budget Spent on Defense: 31.78%
Military Budget: $6,300,000,000,000

Federal Territories Gross Domestic Product
GDP: $16,800,000,000,000
National Budget: $8,992,166,400,000
Percentage of GDP Spent on Defense: 16%
Percentage of Budget Spent on Defense: 29.89%
Military Budget: $2,688,000,000,000

So, we have a total military budget ranging from: 4.442 trillion to 8.998 trillion dollars.

On an unrealted note though, there may or may not be an attemp in the works to hijack our beloved region. Unless the three newest nations step forward and tell us who they are. Terwynn, I would recommend you get Federal Territories, or the UFKW Founder Status ASAP, then ban the UN Delegate from having the controls.

this could be way worse than stellar circle.

To give one a slightly better idea of who can fuck with who, I came up with a quick chart of comparative strengths by dividing the nation's population by their per-capita military spending rank. This gives one an approximate idea of the magnitude of the armed forces a given nation might wield. Observe the following table:

1 - 6064.52 Eizen
2 - 5118.1 Clan Deathfalcon
3 - 3382.1 Battlecrabs
4 - 1733.9 Kel-Morian
5 - 1173.7 Azad
7(6) - 1055.7 Ctan
8(7) - 966.4 UFKW
9(8) - 813.1 Adumar
6(9) - 566.0 Leet Speak
10 - 327.9 Neon Simian
12(11) - 245.9 Umoja
13(12) - 226.0 Star Commonwealth
11(13) - 189.7 Vernii
16(14) - 179.5 Fascist America
15 - 163.6 Ascension
14(16) - 106.6 Federal Territories
17 - 79.9 Visar
19(18) - 62.2 Darkheart
21(19) - 34.4 Sothis5
34(20) - 24.7 Spacebattles
18(21) - 20.5 Morecia
22 - 19.2 Al Khalid
40(23) - 17.3 Khanduras
25(24) - 9.92 Resurgent Mongolia
32(25) - 9.92 Frito Lay
20(26) - 8.44 ROB SMASH
24(27) - 8.26 Brandr
23(28) - 5.62 Atavarian
38(29) - 5.10 Star Ctan
26(30) - 4.96 WTF
39(31) - 4.91 India-Pakistan
30(32) - 3.47 Fleadorf
33 - 2.84 Monacora
37(34) - 1.93 Numbar
29(35) - 1.92 Typhonis
36 - 1.83 GNOMICON
28(37) - 1.47 Ulthar01
27(38) - 1.40 Googamooka
31(39) - 1.28 THEVR
35(40) - 0.89 SEGNOR

As you can see, Eizen and Clan Deathfalcon pretty much control the lion's share of military might in the region. In a respectable third is the Dominion of Battlecrabs. Kel-Morian, the largest UN nation in SDNet holds a distant fourth, followed closely by Azad, Ctan, UFKW, and Adumar, who are seperated by less than a hundred points each. And then lagging far behind the leaders is Leet Speak, and Neon Simian to round out the top ten.

What we get from this is that any of the top ten nations can comfortably defeat any of the nations from #11 or #12 on down. And any of the top three nations can pretty much ass-rape nations number four through forty, although the remainder of the top eight would put up quite a stiff fight.

SO in theory, Eizen could succesfully fight and win a war against all the nations from Ctan on down with room to spare?

Cool

I think the Arms Industry would apply more to weapons dealing and such, and the legality of owning firearms in your own country rather than national defense, though what it does mean that if your nation is invaded your citizens will be armed and able to fight back for their property, making them a flimsy, but realistic, line of defense.

And to the quality of weapons made in your country. If you companies deal with armaments all the time, they are sure to invest money in R&D. Especially if you're 6th in the world ;)

No, there is a password to the region. You have to wire a telegram asking the UN delegate (Federal Territories) for it. Alternatively, PM me and I'll reply with it.
