This is the (hopefully formerly) irregularly updated MT/PMT International Military Report, published by yours truly, Panzersharkcat! The last time I published an MT/PMT was in June, which explains the massive increases in population and military spending, even if all you did was log in every month to keep your puppet from death. This is also slightly different in that I no longer bother with the trade deficit/surplus. Being an econ nerd, I probably punish you more than the other graders do for having a bad economy.
Also, Sinestro Corps membership of Aisha and Jericho of the Enclave does not come into play in this report for the same reason the Swiss having four members of the Green Lantern Corps, another guy with similar powers and name, plus a whole bunch of other superhumans, should not come into play. Same goes with Kahndaq and the resurrected Osiris and his status as flying brick (and thick as one, too).

OverallMy opinion on the matter.
10/10 - Greater Switzerland. Second to none in economic power, military spending, and population. Combined with the second largest navy, the second largest air force, a brigade of rocketeer troops, and other means of destruction, virtually any invading force would be obliterated.
8.5/10 - Alanda and Alexia. The second highest military spending, second highest population, largest air force, and largest navy score this nation a good second place. Its only weak point is its economy. Enemies of A&A, beware.
7.1/10 - The DC Enclave. With the third highest military spending, a population accustomed to hardship, a decent economy for a nuclear wasteland, and two very deadly military leaders, the Enclave is certainly no pushover.
5.1 - Altayr. Fourth in defense spending, fourth in population, and a mediocre economy scores Altayr a mediocre score.
4.2/10 - Kahndaq. Second smallest military spending and second smallest population. If not for the economy, this nation would be ranked lower.
3.3/10 - Bismouth. Crap economy, relatively low population, and lowest military spending earns this nation the bottom spot on this report. Unless invaded by somebody absolutely incompetent, this nation is boned in the event of invasion by any of the others on this list (well, Kahndaq will be a close one).
