Which adds up to 854 manpower.
So 2,165,000,000 population around the world yields 854 manpower
Which means for every 2,500,000 people you get 1000 soldiers or 1 MP point which the game uses to grow for recruitment and combat loss replacement.
Now keep in mind this is what paradox used for 1936/HOI2 and the game uses this manpower number to generate manpower growth on a steady basis. Does not represent mass recruiting when the war starts. Just base data for available manpower growth over time in the 1936/45 timeframe.

Which adds up to 854 manpower.
So 2,165,000,000 population around the world yields 854 manpower
Which means for every 2,500,000 people you get 1000 soldiers or 1 MP point which the game uses to grow for recruitment and combat loss replacement.
Now keep in mind this is what paradox used for 1936/HOI2 and the game uses this manpower number to generate manpower growth on a steady basis. Does not represent mass recruiting when the war starts. Just base data for available manpower growth over time in the 1936/45 timeframe.
