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. actualy my nation is both modern and fantasy since we rely on magic heavily so this is also we are a magitech society modern technologies and advanced magic aka modern fantasy i was using real life nations.

Just for comparsion and inspiration if zipangu is based on medieval japan then Iron Fields is based on 21st century USA nothing more nothing less and my country is a fantasy nation with modern technology. statistics are used to measure scale of things otherwise is useless so i will remove those statistics.
