| Denmark: Military: Max Army: 100,000 Standing Army at 1791: Infantry: 50,000 Quality-----8/10 Cavalry: 8,000 Quality-----7/10 Cannon: 200 of various caliber Quality-----8/10 Overall Quality: 8/10 Reasons: Denmark's military is on par with those of continental Europe. However, their numbers are small, reflecting the country�s political system and often neutrality. The Danish are master of defense, erecting huge fortresses to protect themselves from aggressors. The government is strongly against increasing the size of the army, not willing to pay the huge upkeep costs. Navy: 8/10 Colonies and a vast oversea trading empire make the Danish Navy the nation�s life and blood. It�s ships are slow and large, trading speed for brute force. The huge merchant fleets also double as privateers, reeking havoc on forgien traders in times of war. However, the government limits the range of the Dannish Ships-of-the-line to the Baltic and North Seas, where rival Sweden patrols. The government is strongly against increasing the size of the navy�s ships-of-the-line, not willing to pay the huge upkeep costs Economy: 9/10 Free trade has been kind to the Dannish, making Denmark a center of banking, luxury goods and rare commodities of the West Indies. |
