The problem is how many are actually available, if you deduct subsistance farmers, herdsmen and so on. India and China might have large populations but they can't use them because they are needed in their grossly inefficient agricultural sector.

I have to admit that the whole "Reformed Socialist" thing gave me quite an 
when I saw it.
As far as manpower pool... USSR with 4800?
That's... 480 infantry divisions! How can you really run through that much manpower (meanwhile the pool is being replenished as well)?!
So basically the 'level' of a commander is what 'rank' he has? If so, then I would put my money on Guderian and Manstein being the Germans' two level 5 land leaders.
Thanks for more numbers yet again Cast.

I think Italian Generalship unduly suffers.
Overall quality shouldn't be that bad. What should hurt is proper desert doctrine vs emphasis on alpine/ww1 style fighting on the frontier and binary division doctrine.
But that is just me and others will call me silly for this.

Messe better be a lvl4 before all is said and done.

Yep, I noticed. Britain is Liberal Conservative, France Centrist and the US "Reformed Socialist".
I noticed that about the United States. You would think that we would have to been Socialist first and then sorta reformed. It's like we decided call the French goverment Free Market-Congresanal. Also did you notice that Britain has the same type of goverment as Japan to start with? Not really complaints here, just observations. BTW you folks jumped the gun with that Russian Pop thing. It turned out to be historical you just read it wrong. How could you doubt Paradox?!?
Wow...look how incredibly far ahead Germany is in Land Doctrine in 1936!! I fail to see how France can even hope to compete with THAT. That Maginot Line better live up to its reputation...Btw Castellon thank you so much for all your hard work! Especially on the tech part...you really get the feeling how formidable the Germans are with their manpower+tech+industry.

Bah, talk about the French!
Juin, a 1????? and that puts the rest of the post-1943 leaders at 0????
it's, it's, I'm at a loss for words!

I'd imagine the French had trouble raising ethnic French troops when they didn't control France.
Not really, in fact. Algeria was a departement, not a colony. Still, native North Africans were legally second class citizens. In 1943, however, they were implicitly promised full citizenship after the war if they participated in the liberation of France, and a lot volunteered.
There were about a dozen divisions formed in NA in 1943/44, and their personnel was about half NA.
After the war, (of course?), those promises weren't fulfilled.
I guess it's no coincidence that Ben Bella, one of the foremost leaders of NA independance, was a (volunteer) sergent in the French army and won the Croix de Guerre in Italy.
Yeah. Individuals like Wallace could be deemed as "reformed socialists" but the FDR regime as a whole (including a somewhat conservative Congress) is pretty clearly "centrist"Originally posted by Norgesvenn

I would think the acme of a Reformed Socialist regime would be the French Popular Front. If Rosie is Ref Soc., where does that leave FP? Presumably as Left Wing Radical which is odd given that the centrist "radicals" (led by Daladier) represented a third of the movements deputies and held key cabinet posts. IMO there is very considerable distance between a government like this and "Leninism" which is the next step to the left.
The French Radical party slowly evolved from a far left formation to a very much centrist one over the course of the XXth century, and by the thirties they could certainly be termed centrists, especially when compared to the SFIO (the socialist party).
In the late 60's/early 70's the party split in two, one half eventually joining the UDF center-right coalition in alliance with the gaullist, Chirac-led RPR.
I agree completely. I would think that "reformed socialist" was to be the label for European non-Comintern Social Democrats. Sure, there were social democratic elements in Roosevelt's policies, but on a whole he must be labelled "Centrist"?
A minor niggle, really.
I like the way they have classified the different regimes. Surely some political scientists have been brought in there.

240 inf divs actually.
Skill isn't very important without looking at rank. U can have skill 5 but only be a major general. Well, u won't run far against a skill 1 Field Marshall.
Germany for example has 2 level 5 leaders but only one is a Field Marshall of those.
The 2 best leaders at the start are von Manstein and Zhukov, both skill 5 Field Marshalls.
Yamamoto is the best naval leader, Grand Admiral with skill 5.
Göring is the best air leader, skill 5 Air Marshall.
Even more a lot of leaders have special traits giing them even more bonuses so a level 4 general is not as strong as a level 4 general.
Strange maths i sense in you, young padawan
According to FAQ, infantry div costs 10 manpower. If SU pool is 4800, wouldn't it mean 480 inf divs?
Yamoto I understand. But Goring? Isn't he the man who thought that the luftwaffe should switch from attacking radar to attacking cities in England?
