I want to know how many a certain population can support.

If I have 2 million people, how many will be soldiers, how many Generals,
and how many of each rank in between... You have to build it from the bottom
up... Maybe there won't be any generals if the population isn't over a
certain number...

Don't let the military designations confuse things. This isn't strictly a
military problem as much as it is a tiered-organization problem.

Thanks!
