"Population = manpower", about what percentage though? If I have say, 200 million citizens, is my military..1%? 2? 5?50?

We don't really go into specifics. Just don't make it ridiculously large.

Okay, fair enough. And resources? How do we determine those?

Also, how do I get an image to show up in my Factbook?

Batlicia, since you seem to be the only other person here right now, how do we determine our resources here?

So, can I have a Moderate amount of, say, lead and nickel, small amounts of iron, plenty of agricultural resources, very little to no oil/natural gas.
I can be independent for a few things, but of course still need allies. And have something to trade,

OOC: Aerial Combat Trainings Exercise
IC:
-14,000 ft, Rüher Moutains, Allouxia-
Two squadrons of the Luftwaffe's newest and most advanced jet fighter the Focke Wulf 390 flew over a formation of unsuspecting YSS-100s. Leading the formation is Allouxia's most decorated ace Lieutenant Otto Spörl who's service in the World War earned him the nickname "The Iron Hawk". Lieutenant Spörl signaled his wingman to commerce their attack one by one the 390s turned to the right and dove on their oppenets. The 390s opened fire with their twin 20mm cannons downing two YSS-100s. The fight was on FW-390s and YSS-100s made gut wrenching turns taking Gs that would make an ordinary person pass out. Two YSS-100s tried to line up for a shot on Lieutenant Spörl, The Iron Hawk led them on a chase he had a plan how ever, the Hawk let one YSS-100 get into firing range then suddenly he cut the throttle to his 390 and pulled up slightly to the right causing his 390 to go up and turn suddenly giving him a perfect shot on the YSS-100.

OOC: Cote azure, you may continue from your pilots perspective of the simulated dogfight, just some stats for you to go off on:

FW-390: Armed with two 20mm cannons and two .51 caliber machine guns. Lightly armed compared to the ME-640. This is a trade off for maneuverability over firepower, the YSS-100 has the edge in firepower, the 390 has the edge in speed and maneuverability. Also the FW-390 is not armed with Air to Air missiles, it relies on its maneuverability to get in close enough to open fire with it's 20mm cannons and .51 MGs

Arrow missiles is one missile, and when fires, they split into 3 smaller missiles that chase down aircraft.
IC:

The Sabre fighters fired their Arrow missiles. At the same time, they barrel rolled to avoid the auto cannons. They arrow missiles chased down the Allouxian aircraft. Since the missiles are small and fast, they are very hard to out maneuver. The missiles hit their targets, downing 3 FW-390s.

The pilot, realizing that Hawk was on his ass, pulled up and broke the sound barrier, climbing up the sky, then barrel rolling to try and avoid autocannon shots.

Also, could someone else please tell me if there is indeed an image showing up properly in my Factbook?

Excellent, thanks. It was only showing it to me all spelled out,

Would having a weapon (like a missle or shell) that of which, after it hit a target, small blades shot out of the weapon, and then have the weapon explode for extra effect be practical?

Like some sort of...flechette round on steroids?

So, who has what resources?

Cote azure wrote:

I have lots of metal such as steel, titanium, gold, silver, etc.

I also export lots of weapons. I'm currently selling missiles to Thalasus, I'm also selling webbed combat vests to Allouxia.

Would you like to buy anything from me?

Or better yet, join the WSA? My offer still stands.

Casmaru has lots of oil, so does Greater Balticia,

Does anyone in the WSA have oil? Or is there trade going on between the major alliances/from within and without?

What kind of weapons you got?

And what do you need in return?
