hi Rodolphe,
you are right adjusting the game to accurately reflected the economies of countries is one of the hardest parts of modding the game. As regards resources I used weighted averages of different resources. In the case of metal I used iron ore, pig iron and steel production. This is in my opinion the only way to account for countries that were rich in iron ore such as Sweden or Luxemburg, but also accounts for countries that had a large and advanced steel industry, but wit little own resources like Germany. Ultimately it was a mixture of these two things that determined armaments production potential. As regards rares I used an average of several rare materials weighted by their importance like rubber, aluminium, molybdenum, etc. All the numbers were taken from the League of Nations abstracts.
As regards GDP, you are again right that in G-K dollar terms China and England had roughly the same GDP at the time, however by making use of AoDs infrastructure feature, as well tweaking withe the National Ideas, I can adjust available IC such that it reflects actual armaments spending.
