[Gem Hound]

Cool! Brittany has the 11th largest army in Europe... Strange.

 

[Blue Bacon 3]

OOC: Yeah, Flanders and Brittany really outperform there at the top as neutral nations conserving their strength.

 

[Grandkhan]

How are you calculating these? Because I wouldn't think Spain has the third largest army in Europe.

 

[Gem Hound]

Not 3rd, 4th.

OOC: Yeah, Flanders and Brittany really outperform there at the top as neutral nations conserving their strength.

I could surpass Flanders in two or three turns for troop numbers if I really wanted to.

 

[Lord_Iggy]

Vinland certainly looks a lot more impressive with the absence of a United America.

 

[Blue Bacon 3]

How are you calculating these? Because I wouldn't think Spain has the third largest army in Europe.

By the raw number of general service brigades (infantry, cavalry and artillery), including what any polity has in their colonies and expeditionary forces for the raw size of the totality of their forces, though that distorts the geographical categorization. I didn't count non-standard units (special forces, armor, air force) though I attached their numbers for additional information.

Here's a list that reflects strength by geographical deployment (including both colonial and expeditionary forces), counting Russia and Rome as wholly in Europe:

[Mickzter97]

Hahah Mickzter, it is with cheery calmness that I deliver the IggyPunch(tm) to people for gratuitous and shameless reuse of settings and material from other timelines when it makes little IC sense for them to do so.

I have a dream, that someday, all oratories will be original and all writers will look upon each other and say "here is my brother". We shall fight in the forums, we shall fight in the libraries, we shall fight in the paragraphs and on the indents and we shall never use an Oxford comma!

U guys r too funny

 

[Lord_Iggy]

We're the Nordic Dream Team of metapolicing.

 

[Jehoshua]

Im surprised my army isn't dead last considering I haven't been bothered cultivating it with the resolution of the italian question.

 

[Grandkhan]

And yet you still have a larger army than Denmark. Oh my old Denmark, how I weep for ye.

 

[Mickzter97]

And now shall start the rise of the Magyar Tűzoltó!!!

 

[Blue Bacon 3]

OOC: Lol, my bad. Denmark actually equals the Papal State at 25 and comes first by alpabetical order, I reflexively deducted her colonial garrison from her total military strength in Europe (and I'm fairly sure that brigade is in Reykjavik and not Nuuk).


And since I already did the time-consuming ones, here's the last of the three basic types of list (wasn't able to sleep...):

[SamSniped]

Hmmm... Average in terms of the world (42nd best army ), but in the top in terms of the Middle East. Nice.

 

[spryllino]

OOC: I have frequently said that I do not approve of being called "Franco-Burgundy".

 

[TheLastJacobite]

OOC: I just talked to EQ. He's lost power with several power lines being knocked down by a storm in his area. There's is no ETA on when they'll be back up so the update is on hold til he has power again. I'll keep y'all up to date

 

[TheLizardKing]

OOC: If we can pick how we are referenced, can Germany be ' the Super-Powered Nation of Axe-Wielding Dragon Slayers of Fire, Death and Destruction'? I don't like being refereed to as Germany either.

 

[spryllino]

OOC: In my opinion, yes, if you reasonably think you can IC rename your nation "the Super-Powered Nation of Axe-Wielding Dragon Slayers of Fire, Death and Destruction", then you go ahead and do so, and your diplomats can reasonably expect to be addressed as such, if perhaps with a certain accompaniment of giggling. But it would be your prerogative as a nation; it is the prerogative of every sovereign nation in diplomacy in this world or any other to choose their name for diplomatic purposes.

 

[Luckymoose]

OOC: I have frequently said that I do not approve of being called "Franco-Burgundy".

But you are French Burgundy.

 

[Gem Hound]

POOC: I don't like being referred to as Brittany either, we should be called Breizh(real) or the Independent nation of People Who Dislike Paris-Burgundy.
