    Lets say 10 people in an economy (maybe in reality this could be 1 person = 10 million person-years, so a country with 100 million working ppl):

    • 5 on consumer goods
    • 3 on social services
    • 1 on research & development
    • 1 on defense

      10% on defense spending? That’s insanely high. Even the US only spends 3.2% of GDP directly on “defense”.

      A Swiss like preparation for guerilla warfare that pretty much makes an invasion impossible (but no attack capabilities) is really cheap and much preferable.

      P.S.: And you forgot about primary production ;)
