@Paradox Overlord - "Nothing you said addressed any specifics of my "argument"."

You did not form any argument, thus, there were no specifics to address.

"Clearly, you failed the two economic classes that you took."

I passed both with A's.

"If a company has only 275,000 workers who work on bringing in actual income to the company, it will not be able to employ a number four times that size who bring in no profit to the company whatsoever and simply act as a police force. You. Are. Retarded."

Firstly, the Company has 285,000 employees. And secondly, from the page:

"When the company was first founded, the merchant in possession of the Charter (it is later found out that Arthur Harrington, Samuel's father, was the merchant who was behind the idea of the Company) did not intend for their to be a defense force. But, upon the Company growing in size, he used his personal company to fund a private military, which was not very large. The Black Guard did not grow, and did not become known as the "Black Guard" until the rise of Lord Cutler Beckett, who preceded Samuel Harrington as Governor of the Court of Directors. This was because the small and somewhat futile military force did not have the proper fundings for weapons and training until such time. The private force became even stronger upon the rise of Samuel Harrington, due to massive funds and reforms in weaponry and training; he lengthened BGRD (Black Guard Recruit Depot), the boot camp, to 16 weeks long, thus producing stronger and more hardened warriors."

So, what was that you were saying about insufficient funding for a larger military?

Apparently you do not possess the ability to read and comprehend the entire article before criticizing it. And you call me retarded? You need to hone your own argumentative and logical skills, my friend. Then you can attempt to deconstruct me.
