Talk:Downfall (Map Game)/@comment-32023146-20180920162746

To prevent myself from typing out an essay in my turn, here is some of the statistics I am making official of my country based on the official backstory and my own research and speculation. This is a once off thing to 'set the scene' and please feel free to object Especially the mods of course.

Government: Constitutional Monarchy

Head of State: King Oscar III

Head of Government: President

Legislature: Bicameral Parliament Economy: Largely based on continued oil exports while carefully avoiding the consumption of oil themselves. Information technology, finance, and tech follow suit. Also strong are the growing fishing and aqua-culture industries. Capital: Insert capital city
 * Upper House/House of Knowledge: Consists of 115 Councillors of various scientific positions elected for two 6-year terms via STV elections held in a separate system of 115 districts unlike those of the Commons. Leader of the House of Knowledge is the internally elected President who is the head of government and leads a handpicked cabinet - half from the House of Knowledge, half from anywhere so long as they are qualified.
 * Lower House/House of Commons: Currently consists of 325 MCs (Member of the Commons) though the number may vary every 25 years as the Constitution requires the Commons to be proportional to the population of the country. Elected via super-district STV elections (3 conventional districts combined that elects 3 members from the same super-district), MCs serve up to 3 5-year terms and do not technically require any level of expertise beyond high-school. The leader of the Commons - the Speaker of the Commons - reports both to the President, and by extension the Monarch - though the latter is largely symbolic as the Monarch is prohibited from participating in politics beyond casting their usual secret ballot.

Demographics: Military: The military as a whole has largely evolved over the course of the war to embrace autonomous (but not high-functioning AI) and remote-controlled weaponry in an effort to protect itself with little manpower and to avoid military deaths. Conscription is not compulsory but all citizens must serve in any one of the nation's services (civilian or military) from between 1 to 3 years depending on the service chosen.
 * Population: 26.5 million
 * Religion: Christianity, Islam, Universalists, Buddhism.
 * Universalism is a rapidly growing movement where all religions are recognised as neither correct nor incorrect. Largely expressing pro-religious views, Universalists prefer the term over 'free-thinkers' due to the latter's connotation to irreligiousness, something that is not true of Universalists who believe quite the opposite. Many have compared this movement to a diluted version of the Bahai Faith though Universalism grew out of Scandinavia naturally. Some speculate it may be due to Scandinavia's welcoming view towards new religions and philosophies as concepts rather than doctrines.
 * Army: 50,000 active troops. A combined total of around 100,000 tanks, artillery, armoured vehicles, transport craft, missile launches, and other attack vehicles. The vast majority is remote controlled and/or can be put into auto-pilot mode.
 * Air Force: 8,000 active pilots. Support troops are much higher than in the Army and account for the vast majority of Air Force members and employees. Only 2,000 Air Force pilots are trained to fly conventional planes. The other 6,000 or so pilots are trained and actively operate a fleet of purpose-built, large and small, drone-like, remote-controlled aircraft of all types. They are smaller, and less expensive than normal aircraft. They fly the craft from the safety of Air Force bases in large warehouse-style control rooms, usually with the General in the centre at a war table. As with the military, many of the medium-sized attack craft can and are put into autonomous mode to patrol borders on their own. Also, an experimental program to develop a 'swarm' type of drone system is underway with decentralised AI playing a big part in developing a system to coordinate hundreds of drones at once.
 * Navy: The most prestigious part of the military, the Navy consists of 10,000 active sailors with 5,000 based on regular ships of various classes tasked with blue-water naval combat and patrol. Green-water navy ships (Littoral combat ships) are largely remote-operated from command centres and vary in size from 5 metre craft capable of marine, land, and/or low-altitude air combat; to 150 metre littoral combat ships manned by skeleton crews. As previously mentioned, autonomous/remote-controlled ships are prevalent. Small, multi-setting combat craft that can operate in all 4 domains of combat (submarine, marine, land, low-air) are also widely used to patrol Scandinavian waters.
