Howdy,
I have a few ideas based on the economy of Star wars.. and either the Old Republic or the Galactic Empire tax System.
Basically do not know where many of the Numbers Came from originally but i will do my best to provide you with where i got them from..
First i indicate a minimum tax revenue of either intergalactic government to be at least 4,088,127,869,000,000,000,000 Credits. put bluntly that's a LOT of money.
Just to pay for the Manned Garrisons of Army Units in each sector ( i would assume close to 2.5 Billion Soldiers) X 1025 Sectors that's only $36,603,443,251,200,000
or 0.00001% of the total Budget.. even if it costs 10X Their Pay for each soldier per year in Training, Materials, Insurance ect costs.. that doesn't even dent 1% of the Galactic Budget.
that assumes that there is only 2.5 Billion Soldiers per sector....Just Army
Space Fleet my number are less thought out. but assume he 25000 ISDs that these forums seem to use. that's 654 Million credits a year for Pay. or let be conservative and assume that in space is more expensive to Feed, Cloth, Train and Use your troops. so 20X pay for each soldier in a ISD for everything. and that's 13.2 Billion Credits per ISD Per Year ( i cannot think that a ISD can cost more then that to operate as a Nimitz Class today costs 50,000 per Crewer total today) so that's 329,000,000,000,000
a year.... so 0.1% of the Army total...
overall... my numbers have to be Wrong lol they cant be wasting 99.98% of their Budget on non millatary activities... either we need 1000X the Star Destroyers in use, and 100X the army ( 250 billion troops per sector) or cut the population down considerably or cut the income down... either way.. what does the empire do with all it money?
PS: Maybe that why they can waste it on Death Stars and the like with no real problem
Definitions and Figures i used
Average Troop income: 14000 credits per year based on pay of Canadian Forces..
Credit: Standard Currency of Star Wars
Average Income: median income of an average star wars citizen, i estimate 8722 credits ( based upon average GDP PPP of the G20 of Earth, converted to UK Pounds,( the only numbers that i found to be consistent were the Tax less Price of Beer in the UK was 2 pounds, and the price of beer aboard the Death Star from the book Death Star was 2 credits. thus i estimated that the Currency Conversion between USD and Star Wars Credits was roughly the same as between USD and UK Pounds. and he fact that Canada's Per Capita Income is 88% of our PPP GDP per capita,)
Inhabited Worlds: Total "inhabited" of 12 million, ( i have done my figures for the 1 million inhabited worlds as well)
Tax Rate: (at a 5% Tax to intergalactic government Rate, excludes all Local, Regional and Planetary Taxes)
Nimitz Crewer: Not including Air service as it does not look like the Budget included air services (http://www.worldaffairsboard.com/naval- ... -cost.html)
so Assumptions in this
--Beer in the Death Star is Taxless, like many millatary bars around the world.
--Star Wars Credit is smiler to UK Pounds<--> USD exchange Rate
--I'm Right... Please tell me if you have any Solid Cannon number that i can use to revise, or even better EU stuff, price of Beer while a Good Number is not perfect i would like multiple data points to be able to come up with a better conversion. Or even using the G20 as an example of good Star wars demographics, maybe star wars has more middle class taxpayers making my g20 based numbers moot.
