Yea, not exactly how states are stable. Especially not in a state claiming to have as many ethnicities as yours.

Also 150,000,000 people and then having an army over the millions, how would your state actually support that?

This is the problem with people just spamming out military factbooks and "look at how mighty our army is!!!!" It seriously makes the nation uninteresting and just one of those cliches.

The economic and social issues in your nation would be HUGE - especially when going to war. (This is why modern warfare is also hugely electronic and economic-based rather than the huge tank and sea battles.)

I literally have my economic works and a multitude of factbooks that aren’t military based. Keenly avoiding that one trick pony thing. And it can support the military and population because 1. The economy is stable 2. It’s been steadily growing and 3. Srnomics don’t care about reality tbh

Many social issues here have already been rped out in the past years. A power struggle between the member states and the federal government over the extent of said federal governments power? Check

Economic collapse brought by a massive bubble in a formerly major industry/market? Been there done that

Social issues brought on by colonialism and ethnic tensions? Yeah I did that multiple times over the years

And either way I haven’t been championing AGU as “stable”. So far it’s business as usual, dealing with the disgruntled and distracting the populace away from that by focusing on regional dominance. But even then, the populace at this point due to the decades under a state that comprehensively restructured society around collective nationalism for the imperial tricolor, the ethnic tensions are not really a thing anymore.

Besides I’ve basically pored over documents from all the modern wars from the 90s and new millenium. I’m aware of the role the economy and electronics play into modern warfare. So it helps that I actually know what I’m doing when I go to war.
