Lel. You mean the guys currently only with a few power armors and jeeps? That's not even Brotherhood of Steel worthy.

Bitch please. Even BOS Paladins can't accomplish that when they're outnumbered 20 to 1 odds.

No, there's still thousands of square miles of land that still needs to be added in.

Texas history-less with potentially impossible gear and unmanageable army size, along with other flaws.

I guess the artillery and bomber would be possible, but there's too much artillery, in a huge size that would be uncommon. The infantry would be alright if we knew how they were protected in comparison to modern day soldiers since that's exactly what they look like, and if we knew Fallout universe equivalent gun they basically had as standard issue. Don't even get me started on the Enclave vertibirds the faction has.

Not to mention 1/10th of the people are volunteers in the military, and are professional soldiers.

My less evolved nation aint even got that high a percentage
And more evolved nations need more people doing things and therefor can maintain less military personnel

That isn't really a sound argument. A more prosperous, industrialized, mechanized, nation, can support more people in the military in comparison to, say, a tribal society. Would a higher percentage of a tribal society be able to fight? Yeah, but that's because they're not fighting on distant fronts for weeks or months at a time, but close to home, for hours or a few days.

When it comes to the equivalent standing army, a powerful industrialised nation is far more capable, but when it comes to maximum conscription a more industrlaized nation has work that needs doing all year round, such as maintaining order and maintaining the many machines and communication or transport networks, while a less developed nation can abandon its fields and march to war through most of the year, with only certain times the fields really needing their full attention.
But my levy raised troops are still only 5%

Which is really a limitation due to my limited level of requirement on industries other then farming, like a small amount of peace keeping and maintenance of my own networks.
If I were truly tribal then I could perhaps raise that to 15 or 20% but still no where near the proposed 40% of Texas

That is if 'conscription' happens as well. I doubt conscription isn't already active with nearly 10% of the population already enlisted.

As an example of this, despite my population being less then 1/3 of the NCR's my army at its maximum is comparable, though slightly smaller, in size due to me being able to raise a decent levy, my professional army however is tony and would not have the numbers to even stave you off for a few hours. This said, my lower numbers and worse equipped troops, I still cant stand against you alone. But if I were in a situation of complete war against you I could damage my nations long term prosperity for a larger army but if you were to do that to a similar level then once the war was over you would have set yourself back a couple of decades, while I would only go back a year or so, since your main issue is maintenance and order, both things the NCR is known to need
General Deth Glitch

Yeah, but 10% (or so) Standing army? You have to pay the wages of that many people, with the tax of the rest, those that are able to work and therefor generate tax that is.
If I were to raise my levy to 10% I could atleast claim that I was going to kill them if they said no, yes after the war I would need to fear retaliation but at least funding wouldn't ever be an issue.

Hey guys if you are talking about impossible percentages in the army you can't forget my country. 100% are in the army and are equipped with a bullet resistant steel or titanium vest (titanium is for officers/veterans) and they train (at the very) least monthly. But then again they are a Militia force so it is possible.
