Just reading through the description. Your new nation is even more ambitious than mine size wise. Populations is a massive increase on Atlantia's yet your standing armed forces aren't all that bigger than mine (reservists not included) what gives?

Then I thought Caledonia keep more for themselves, in the modernere time and have no other plans to go to war. But how large the military was in the old days and how large it will be in the future, is indeed a good question!

(I chose to have a large population, so that I should be able to draw several vessels for the nation.)

But if there is anything you think I should edit or rewrite then just send me a PM with your proposition.

Armarment

Some 12,7mm guns in various places.

It was built 10 Destroyers by Gerhard von Heilser class. they were built by Lister Naval shipyard. They were considered among the fastest and among the best armed ships in Caledonia. ships also had very good sailing characteristics.

They have been involved in several actions, everything from providing artillery support with 4 twin 135mm cannons, or defend an aircraft carrier from an air attack.

That is quite a unique looking vessel (class) Exceedingly fast too for something that size.

Looking ...nordish. I like the detailed design and the unusual set of colors.
This is a serious forum. Do not laugh. Do not post nonsens. Do not be kiddish. At least, not all the time.

There's no such thing as "nothing left to draw" If you can down 10 pints and draw, you're doing alright by my standards
