[b][u]HOW TO GROW YOUR COUNTRY'S MILITARY[/u][/b]

I was running the country like a normal person would when suddenly a random player called me. "Daphomir, I need your help!" he cried. "I don't know how to build up my military and become a militaristic superpower to [i]defend[/i] myself in the popular online country simulator browser game NationStates!" Well, my dear friend. Not to worry, because I know how to do just that! I know how YOU can build your nation's military with little hassle to speak of! Forget about "human rights" or "giving your citizens low tax rates," because your nation won't have ANY of those things if it gets conquered by a foreign power! So strap in your seatbelts, grab your popcorn, and prepare thyself for a detailed guide on how YOU can build your nation's  military to be great enough to make the US’s military look like a sad birthday party!

[b][u]Issues[/u][/b]

   If you have EVER played NationStates in your life and made SOME attempt to grow your country, then you will likely have evaluated these things called "issues." Everybody knows what THOSE are. Anyways, how does this relate to building your military, you ask? It's simple! If you get an issue where one of the options says something about "Send in the military!" or "Blow those [so-and-so]s off the face of the earth!" or something like that, CLICK IT, and WITNESS your Defense Forces stats increase by that oh so vital 0-point-something percent, with irrelevant downsides to other things.
  
  After all, why would the admins, who have spent the last TWENTY YEARS carefully maintaining the code of this game, just randomly decide "hey lets put an 'improve army' button into NationStates for no good reason", throwing out the idea of making this game as hard to learn as possible? Anyways, you get the idea. Imagine if they did… it would be THE END OF ORDER AROUND THE MULTIVERSE!

[b][u]Civil Rights and Political Freedoms, maybe some economic stuff, idk[/u][/b]  

 "oH bUt wHaT aBoUt cIviL rIgHTs aNd pOliTiCaL fReEdOmS anD sTuFf?" Screw those, it’s not like those die-hard liberals actually DO want to be lenient to their citizens all while some random communist country says, "Oh look! Free real estate!" If you want to protect your nation and defend your beloved people, little playthings, human resources, or whatever the hell you call them, then a strong army is what you need! Just make sure you have a good economy to fund this army of yours though... I'm not gonna get into that, here's a link to an even better well made dispatch than this on improving your economy. https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1636939


[b][u]Other things[/u][/b]

Anyways, make sure to SMASH THAT LIKE BUTTON (preferably not hard enough to destroy your screen), and leave a comment below. Screw you, civil rights activists!
