INTRODUCTION

For the modern International Military Report, I use an application from the region of Texas that I find to be superior to the old application at NSEconomy. Thanks a bunch Texas! Link for their app is right here. More helpful links can be found in the stickied thread by Panzersharkcat on these forums.

Since the addition of the formula, there is a clear, numerical way to determine military power. As a result, I'm going to put a plus or minus after each person's gross military score to show whether their military power increased or decreased over the last month.

Oldest reports can be found on the old forums.

DATA LISTS

Defense Spending
Defense spending is important to military strength for an obvious reason: if you're not spending any money on your army, you don't have a very well trained army, or a very well equipped army (Note that per-soldier spending is important here as well.). As far as you're concerned, remember this formula: More military spending = stronger military.

- 1) Rutianas: $150,613,270,958,159.00 (+ $16,485,881,412,143.00)
- 2) Burnination: $43,052,361,564,515.60 (+ $3 223 177 453 416.30)
- 3) Selathorn: $35,421,223,554,662.40 (- $1,902,293,587,645.90)
- 4) Panzersharkcat: $25,570,908,335,095.20 (+ $1,097,438,285,512.80)
- 5) Aescentia: $5,202,953,504,686.08 (+ $377,555,518,628.64)
- 6) Langarra: $1,282,716,029,237.76 (No Previous Data)

Economic Strength - (Relative ratings determined based on data given.)
This one was added for a little more complicated reason. Firstly, if you have a more powerful economy, your nation is better equipped to weather a prolonged war without collapsing. Also, more industries means that you can produce more weapons during a war, and may be more difficult to strategically bomb.

- 1) Panzersharkcat: GDP Per Capita $48,437.04, Currency = $2.0485 (Economic Improvement)
^ 2) Burnination: GDP Per Capita $43,290.38, Currency = $1.9366 (Slight Economic Regress)
V 3) Selathorn: GDP Per Capita $43,104.59, Currency = $1.9324 (Economic Regress)
- 4) Rutianas: GDP Per Capita $30,757.77, Currency = $1.6324 (Economic Improvement)
- 5) Langarra: GDP Per Capita $27,199.07, Currency = $1.2973 (No Previous Data)
V 6) Aescentia: GDP Per Capita $23,925.68, Currency = $1.0883 (Economic Improvement)

Population; -->(IN MILLIONS)<--
This is included for another simple reason. Population matters. Nations can be powerful just because of sheer numbers. Real world example: China.

- 1) Panzersharkcat: 8914
- 2) Rutianas: 7289
- 3) Burnination: 6250
- 4) Langarra: 4419
V 4) Selathorn: 3768
V 5) Aescentia: 3312


OVERALL RANKINGS

This list is essentially my interpretation of all the previous lists. I created a formula to plug the numbers above into to eliminate any subjectivity. Here is the formula for the raw scores:
International Military Report (FT) - September 2011 Milscore
Please note that the scores given by this formula are objective, but they are not absolutely the final word. If you feel that the rankings are skewed, say so!

Format:
Raw score - Relative score: Nation
Description
Raw score - Relative score: Nation
Description

52.4538304 (+) - 10.0: Rutianas
Now taking bets for when Rutianas' military spending first crosses the 200 trillion mark, and whether her GDP Per Capita will be greater than or less than 30K at that point. (Do note the fall in everyone's relative score thanks to the crazy increase this month. It's kind of funny.)
46.7263278 (+) - 8.91: Panzersharkcat
Same old story; giant economy, low spending.
42.1342194 (+) - 8.03: Burnination
Actually gained spending this month, but still has spending below usual. Also lost some of the decent economy despite surpassing Selathorn.
31.0908858 (-) - 5.93: Selathorn
Long climb upwards has finally hit a speed bump. And not even a big speed bump.
13.4443495 (+) - 2.56: Aescentia
Same old story.
11.6673348 ( ) - 2.22: Langarra
It's because of the lack of defense spending. It's fine, just don't try to fight anyone, except maybe Ace Razz
