Simple, we are not working with a real life nations. I see you coming up with and asking things like GDP and Cost of living. What is a reader supposed to do with this information? What do you as the writer do with it?

It adds nothing to the context of the setting. It doesn't even really add to the scale that the reader is working with. Unless the reader has an educational background to actually work with these statistics, it is basically meaningless.

Even the numbers you give on military equipment are really just empty statistics.

I will say that your setting is... genre breaking. You write about it like it's a nation in a modern setting when we're pretty obviously working with a fantasy setting.
