Using these numbers as a basis to calculate the maximum
sustainable army at 10% (as per previous discussions*) we get:

Level Army Size # units
0 100 0.5
1 200 1
2 600 3
3 1000 5
4 1500 7.5
5 2500 12.5
6 4000 20
7 5500 27.5
8 7000 35
9 8500 42.5
10 10000 50

For a total of 262,300 soldiers in 1311.5 units.

This is one aspect I *love* about Birthright: the
populations in each province are small...

*The calculation of 10% above is a resultant of the
following line of thought:

50% of the population is male. Half of this number are
able-bodied and ready to fight (25% of the total). Of these,
some must be kept to do work. So a good number to quote
for a sustainable army is 10%. A sustainable army is one which
the kingdom may maintain and still remain economically productive.
