Total Population: 3,500,000 The Teutonic order is special in the fact that their are more soldiers than citizens. Soldiers from other nations come to join the Order. Though all the soldiers are members, very few live in the orders territory. Only Ritterbruder, Halbrudder and Professional Archers stay in the orders land. Others are only called upon to fight in a crusade or other major undertakings.
Men: Elderly/Middleaged(40+): 250,000 Young(16-39): 1,000,000 Children(Infancy-16): 500,000
Women: Elderly/Middleaged(40+): 250,000 Young(16-39): 1,000,000 Children(Infancy-16): 500,000
Military: The Teutonoic Order is gifted with the only ALL Professional army in Europe.
Total strength: 1.2 million. Full member units: (Stays in order lands) Ritterbruder (Elite knights): 300,000 The Ritterbruder is made ofthe orders elite. Experienced, brutal, fearless fighters who strike fear into the hearts of their enemy. Some say they are God's own knights.
Halbrudder(Elite infantry): 400,000 Making up the bulk of local Teutonic forces, Halbrudder are soldiers who are not full Ritterbruder, yet fight at the level of any elite from other nations. They too are feared by many.

You have a pop of 3,500,000 and a military of 4,000,000 it doesn't work. 3,500,00 is your overall population. Military included. If anything because your army is the only professional one it would be significantly smaller than others.

Yep we know, but it is kinda boring... so we try to keep it under 40% here. We are also dealing with smaller numbers than normal.

I just figured I would add people who maybe lived outside the kingdom. You must remember that the Order spanned the known world with a headquarters in almost every country.

Yeah true, but it would be complicated and irritating. This is just easier.
