ok.
1. Armies should not be larger than 1.5 million men. Any larger and things become unrealistic.
2. Giancarlo is a bad poster.
3. Many claims are too large or unrealistic (mine included).
4. I will volunteer to be (a) mod.

1.5 million? China's now is roughly 3 million not including reserves. India's is pretty large too. The US has...what? 1 million? 2 million? Not sure about Russia.

That number does not include reserves. Standing armies are prohibitively expensive, especially for more than a million men.

Of course quality also comes into play. You can't expect, say a division of armor from the US to be on par with a division of armor (or lack thereof) from...let's say the Congo.

Got spare money?

The US doesn't even have 700,000....

But in reality, a 2.9 million man army was actually used by the Soviets for many years, and they were a successful (used loosely) country.

China too.

1.5 million is a tremendous army, and people should shy away from even 600,000 especially these huge european countries...

Hell I've got Vietnam, who has the third largest army in the world and I've got a little more than a million men.

I think that as long as someone realistically has the resources to support more than 1.5 million men than they should be able to have more soldiers if they want too.

Giancarlo, I believe your claim of all of the Iberian Peninsula, Morocco, and the entire Western Sahara explains why we treat you this way.


Western Sahara is a disputed territory of Morroco in northwesretn Africa. Giancarlo did not mean all of the western Sahara desert. His claim is smaller than many others which have already been accepted.

But you have to remember, how many posters can we realisticall expect to get? I mean, there isn't exactly a steady stream of newbies coming in. And if we leave large countries like NPCs we'll basically be interacting with ourselves or the mods to gain new territory.
