You are only considering one issue, not all of them. It would be different if I had an army based on volunteers, on contract, but as it is, military service is mandatory, plus there are consequences related to other issues. Also, all my organizations and industries are nationalized, so there is still no room for maneuver for other countries. However, these organizations could act as mercenaries and send soldiers to participate in military conflicts in other territories, as some organizations from the USA do.

This is just one bill on privatizing the country's armed forces; what significance can it possibly have? We will simply get a bonus to our self-defense forces.
I and all organizations, industries are nationalized.
The thing is that these organizations could act as mercenaries and send soldiers to participate in military conflicts in other territories, like some organizations from the USA do.
However, when it comes time to defend the country against a serious external enemy, rather than raiding others, there will be no one left to protect it.
The graph's indicators don't negate the consequences of that issue. All companies belong to the country; foreign organizations cannot buy them, have a stake in them, finance them, or profit from them. It simply means that the military now has slightly more freedom, which doesn't mean they won't defend their country, where they all live, work, and earn a living. If the country is threatened, then so are they and their well-being. The entire army cannot simply move to a poorer or less habitable country, lol. You're just considering the worst-case scenario, but that doesn't mean it's the most likely outcome in this case. This isn't Rex Ventorum, where money solves everything.
That's why you could have chosen the first option.

The hard-nosed, cynical population of 226 million Arkondians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government,which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

It reminded me of Putin's speeches in some way.
Where do we go? Where do we end up when we save the world?
By the way, Heroist, I just logged into one of my many states that I had somewhat neglected, and it suddenly reminded me of your desire to leave only industry and defense forces in the state's expenses. But most importantly! Defense forces account for only 9 on the analysis graph.
Not bad, huh? I wish I could get to that point. I built an aerial fortress – law and order improved, and I allowed animal experimentation – healthcare improved (and people still die from diseases).
But the most important thing! The self-defense forces account for only 9 in the analysis graph.
This can be explained by two things. First, despite a very strong economy, government spending is extremely low (2.5% of GDP). Second, I’m not entirely sure about this, but it seems to me that the “self-defense strength” indicator in the analysis does not always reflect the essence of the matter when comparing different countries. Sometimes, the military budget can be several times higher than that of another country, but the indicator is lower.

I would be happy to reach that level. I built an aerial Fortress – law and order improved, allowed animal experiments – healthcare increased (and people still die from diseases).
Well, there’s nothing you can do about it, although I remember seeing a state with 100/100 economy, and 100% of government spending was allocated to spirituality.
