USA should be...

quote:
Population: 290
Political Freedoms: Some
Economy: Frightening
Compulsory Military Service: No
Space Program: Yes
Defence: Priority
Fundamentalist Religion: Yes (hehe)
Defensive Military Strength: ?
Offensive Military Strength: ?


The US army has about 500k active soldiers and 700k reservists. The total size of the US military is about 1.5M

Spending per GDP is between 3 and 4%, and about 50% of the budget (in terms of "discretionary spending").

Significantly less. According to the CIA World Factbook, the USA's GDP per capita is over $36 000... Australia's is only about $26 000. It should probably go to, say, Thriving (if that).

Karakas' most elite air wing strikes using F/A-18 Super Hornets like this one. Unfortunately, the Defense Department can only afford one wing's worth, so we have to make them count!

Israel does indeed have compulsory military service, as, I believe, do a number of countries in Europe (Switzerland?).

Switzerland has a compulsory military service but it has (i belief) no standard army, at least not a very large army. Switzerland has natural defences and has no need for a large army. Isreal on the other hand has a more then avarege army for a it's size so if you middle these two you'll have a accurate number i hope

Population

Switzerland - 7,318,638 (July 2003 est.)
Isreal - ?

If you go with the NS economy indicator, there are rules of converting various levels to GDP per capita floating about.

My bestfriend from highschool served on the Reuben James (FFG-57), which is another Perry class destroyer, so I got to go on board and have a look around a few years ago.

Also, the USS Arizona monument in the background is a dead giveaway.
