## Economy

Industrial mobilization. The transformation of industry from its peacetime activity to the industrial program necessary to support the national military objectives. It includes the mobilization of materials, labor, capital, production facilities, and contributory items and services essential to the industrial program. Democracies can move to early economic mobilization on when at war or under particular circumstances whereas authoritarian regimes can partially mobilize their country even at peace.

## Manpower, Conscription and Mobilization

Manpower represents the pool of people available for military service. Manpower depends on your states' population, conscription law, status of states as core or colony, and certain national focuses. A stricter conscription laws and/or bigger population provides more manpower. A country with exhausted manpower reserves will be crippled in its ability to wage war.

In order to change your conscription or military mobilization level you need a certain amount of Political power and the move will reduce the government political power gain as the people do not always appreciate compulsory military service. Democracies can move to partial military mobilization on when at war or under particular circumstances whereas authoritarian regimes can partially mobilize their country even at peace.

When your military mobilizes, the military assembles and readying troops and supplies for war. While mobilizing reserve troops replenish your divisions bring them to full strength and peak efficiency as well as reduces the time needed to train new division, it also has its drawbacks: among other penalties, it increasing equipment attrition and takes away personnel from civilian sector reducing your industrial outputs. So in time of peace it is wise to avoid reinforcing your troops and wait for war to mobilize and take all your division up to full strength, however, be ware, mobilizing takes time so be sure to mobilize your military if you think war is near or your military will be incredibly weakened!

**Conscription Policy:**

* Reserve Army -
* Standing Army -
* Limited Mobilization - often an immediate pre-war measure
* General Mobilization - the standard wartime measure of that era.

**Level of Conscription**

* Volunteer only - Volunteer force derives its manpower from volunteers rather than conscription or mandatory service (e.g. USA at the start of the game)
* One Year Draft - normal term, the situation of most European countries in 1936. A whole class is incorporated for, generally, 1 year.
* Two Year Draft - extended term, the same as the previous but with a longer term – typically 2 years, (e.g. Germany from 1937 or 1938).
* There Year Draft - long term, conscription of a whole class for 3 years (e.g. France in 1913) or even longer (but in that case it was often coupled to a selective conscription, e.g. USSR or at least Tsarist Russia).
* Expanded Draft -
* Extensive Draft -
