Population in millions, GDP in billions, available military manpower
in thousands, military budget in millions.
I took data from Jim Dunnigan's How To Make War, 1988 edition IIRC.
NAC includes UK, Japan, plus all of North & South America except the
Caribbean Islands, Texas and California (FCT would have a population
40 and GDP 212--I subtracted that from the NAC numbers).
ESU includes Russia (except my guesstimate of RH share), China, India
Czechoslovakia Poland N Korea Sri Lanka Nepal Mongolia Mauritius
Maldives Bhutan
FSE includes France Italy Spain Portugal Luxembourg Malta
IC includes Indonesia Thailand Philippines Malaysia Singapore
Bangladesh Vietnam Burma Kampuchea Laos
IF includes Saudi Iran Algeria Pakistan UAE Iraq Egypt Kuwait Libya
Syria Morocco Oman Qatar Tunisia Sudan Jordan Bahrain Lebanon N Yemen
Afghanistan S Yemen
NSL includes Germany Yugoslavia Hungary Austria Albania
PAU covers all Africa except what IF has
RH has some of Russia plus Romania and Bulgaria (this book was written
pre-"collapse of the USSR" so it doesn't list, say, Ukraine
separately)
Main neutrals that I didn't know where to put are S Korea Taiwan
Belgium Turkey Greece Ireland
Obviously this doesn't account for wars and such--I imagine the
Pacification of America, followed by the Wars of the Americas, would
have reduced the NAC's economy compared to the rest of the world, for
example.
