Ok first of all allow me to tell you all how much I love this Community. Been through some realle bad shit, back on my feet, starting anew with world building, and you guys and ladies are here and supporting. So, thank you.

Quick background, Cthulhu awakens. It feeds on valuable opponents so between delusions of defeating Him by attacking Him, and Him hunting down survivors Himself, when He leaves Earth ALL military forces in the world have disappeared, almost all technology too, and survivors are roughly half a billion. I know people says if Cthulhu awakens it's game over, but I love a bit of realism, no undercover agent (let's not forget this is what Cthulhu is: a high ranking priest sent into this universe from outside as a part of a multiversal mission meant to awaken azathoth) completely kills every bacteria after a nap in hut near a battlefield, so I expect He wouldn't care to actually exterminate us all, and I do not think its sheer existence would boil all our brains out, He's not Yog Sothoth at full power I mean.

Survivors will then split: the normal ones, the mutant (like zombies but more realistic), and the marauders. In what i labeled as the Dawn Wars, the normal ones will kill every marauder and mutant, creating a XVI to XIX century like technological society which will start anew, with a population of around 300 millions.

Ok now:

1. all "natural born" soldiers are dead
2. all survivors took part to a certain extent in the Dawn Wars so they had some kind of baptism
3. No countries: only one huge nation, a United Earth Federation of Cities, all trade no wars (utopistic? No, I study psychology and politic and this story is also partially a pamphlet for me to show my conclusions)

Question:

How many soldiers is it likely that they should exist? Only intern police and bit of outside patrolling against potentially still existing mutants

Current percentage of USA military is of 0,5 % as far as I can read online, 1,5 millions compared to an overall population of roughly 300 millions.

I think my world would need much less, and, also, all those who had that actually inside of them, already enlisted (and died).

I live in a small, turistic, crime-less town where the overall of military force is 100 persons compared to an overall of 100.ooo population, so 1 every 1000.

Could it be fitting?

What you lads and ladies think?
