International Military Report (PT) - December 2010

Introduction

OMG I've stopped procrastinating and actually am doing this on time!

This is the specialized military report for the Korel PT nations/puppets. As with the regular report, all stats are directly copied from the NSDossier site (http://nsdossier.texasregion.net/nsdossier/main.aspx?region=Korel), and overall rankings are simply based on my opinion and open for debate.

P.S. Burn: I did not STEAL your format. I IMITATED it, which is the highest form of flattery

Past reports:
August 2010

Again, no increases this month. I promise I will next month though.

Defense Spending
The more spent on defense, the better trained and equipped your military is. In general, more spending = Better military.

1) Orilana: $5,881,940,411,586.19
2) Blolrus: $5,836,316,569,374.72
3) Konosis: $4,123,850,733,505.78
4) Themysciraa: $2,710,477,848,355.20
5) New Ermarian: $2,701,533,773,205.00
6) Neo-Konaria $16,014,774,677.25

Economic Strength
A stronger economy allows you to survive a prolonged war and produce more weapons for your military.

1) Konosis: GDP Per Capita $41,409.16, Trade = DEFICIT $426,683,300,142.21, Currency = $1.8941
2) Themysciraa: GDP Per Capita $32,068.98, Trade = DEFICIT $182,343,009,506.44, Currency = $1.4087
3) Blolrus: GDP Per Capita $30,181.72, Trade = DEFICIT $96,748,187,064.19, Currency = $1.3666
4) New Ermarian: GDP Per Capita $28,842.79, Trade = DEFICIT $256,935,478,211.37, Currency = $1.3360
5) Neo-Konaria: GDP Per Capita $19,089.37, Trade = DEFICIT $17,983,375,866.00, Currency = $0.9721
6) Orilana: GDP Per Capita $10,537.35, Trade = SURPLUS $699,500,847,219.94, Currency = $0.6255

Population in Millions
The larger your population, the more pawns you have to throw at your enemy. Err... I mean that power can come from sheer numbers.

(Like I said, Burn, imitation )

1) Orilana: 4029
2) Blolrus: 2838
3) Konosis: 2131
4) New Ermarian: 1647
5) Themysciraa: 1376
6) Neo-Konaria: 62

ORILANA: 10.0/10.0. In tie with Blolrus for first as always. While it has a weak economy (last place), it has surged back to first in spending and remains a good billion ahead in population then Blolrus. And of course, as standard, Orilana shares control of the seas with Blolrus.
BLOLRUS: 10.0/10.0. No longer highest in spending, and still remains second in population and third in economy. Not the dominant military power it once was, but it still deserves a ten due to its shared control of the sea with Orilana. Will it stay 10.0/10.0 in the future? Maybe yes, maybe no.
KONOSIS: 5.4/10.0. Konarian power has definitely waned, if only slightly. While it does have the best economy on P'Taria and has the best spending and population of the land based nations, Konosis was also definitely weakened by the events of Who Dares Wins. Still, it should also be mentioned that Konosis does have the most advanced military technology after the events of Who Dares wins as well.
NEW ERMARIAN: 3.3/10.0. Ermarian is definitely gaining on Konosis. While in fact it has regressed somewhat in its rankings, New Ermarian's gap with Konosis is definitely shrinking and the loss of much of Konosis's navy is definitely helping New Ermarian gain points, if only slightly.
THEMYSCRIAA: 2.7/10.0. Again, the fantastic elements of this nation are being taken to the side. Themysciraa gains slightly because it beats out New Ermarian on spending, has the second best economy, and is only a few hundred million in population away from New Ermarian.
NEO-KONARIA: 0.2/10.0. Neo-Konaria is small, has a relatively weak economy, and little military spending. However, that doesn't mean that it's militarily impotent. Neo-Konaria has much of Konosis's former navy and also has advanced Konarian war technology, as well as being a highly militarized society. While its not winning any wars alone, it could come up as an important kingmaker.

NOTE - This should be taken with a grain of salt. The stats are what really matter.

I must say though, your description of Population is much more fun to read than mine is

And stop being a softie on me! Blolrus should NOT be equal to Orilana.

I was actually thinking Orilana should not be equal to Blolrus >.>

No, that was just me being stupid. Yeah, Blolrus probably might drop next month if Orilana gets its economy up.
