Description[?]:
| [OOC: Please let me bore you: Here I have really done nothing other than look a bit into what would be a realistic budget and made according changes. But I have not changed any post from the last budget more than +100% or -50%, except *Foreign affairs* which I think was very low due to an accident, so it has been raised 300%. Since Particracy is supposed to be set in a realistic modern world and Kazulia has "laws of the land" that are very much in line with a modern "western" RL country, the budget should in some measure resemble such a RL country. But if it really did, I think the post for *Health and Social Services* would make up more than half the budget. It is to be expected that in a game played by young, and not so young, men the military budget will be throbbing huge. We don't have very aggressive policies in place -no chemical weapons, no use nuclears - but compared with GDP, at 300B we used to have a defence budget level higher than any RL country, now with 200B we're at Saudi Arabia level, second biggest RL spender after Oman. If we change to 100B, we're at top 6 RL level - Israel and Russia. A USA level would be ca 60B. I haven't been super-ambitious going through everything, and am not expert. I know all this means nothing in the game, so it gets pretty boring, but... it is here in the game. So... might as well tweak it a bit into realism, if we can, eh? I learn a bit in the process at least.] Herr Huspresident, Phew, all these zeroes, it is really a drag. I wish we could devalue the KKR, just cut off a few zeroes. Well, this will provide a balanced budget. If any party has complaints let us know. -Arvid Horn, Minister of Finance |

Kazulia (before recent defence budget cut) 16.2% 1. Oman 13.7% (2). Kazulia (current) 10.8% 2. Saudi Arabia 9.8% (3). Hulstria 7.9% (3). Dankuk 7.7% 3. Congo, Rep. 7.2% 4. Algeria 6.5% 5. Israel 5.6% (6). Kazulia (Proposed) 5.4% 6. Russia 5.4% 7. Jordan 4.6% 8. Namibia 4.4% (9) Sekowo 4.1% 9. Armenia 4.1% 10. Ukraine 3.7% .... 18. United States 3.3% ...
