I mean sure they can be quite technologically advanced

they already are in some areas

in brasil for an example

just like the gov gets them

Yeah but if your having large amounts of competition

Your gonna need a LOT more manpower

what why and how

Well who would you trust your security with

depends

The company with the largest/most effective army, correct?

sure

actually not really

Technological advancement would matter more

to em

and since theres that profit incentive

Largest & **Most effective**

right i thought you meant effective by their training skills etcv

That too

But technology as well

Anyways

So companies would always be competing to have the largest, most technologically advanced and most effective armies, correct?

largest would not matter

as much

whats the point of having an army of 5 million people who have no training skills and your company being shit technologically

Well you can be both, right?

Large and technologically advanced

they would have to allocate their resources intelligently

yes

you can#

but it would not matter as much

most of them would focus on their technological advancement and their training skiklls

Which brings up the question of nukes

what about it

Could it not quickly turn into a nuclear arms race?

no

how would it turn into that

Improved technology and weapons seems to point to weapons of mass distruction

No?

yes

and

a country with an ancap system would follow NAP-non aggression principle
