.TH Command ENLIST
.SY "enlist <SECTS> <NUMBER>"
The enlist command invokes a draft in the sectors given.
.s3
After the program has collected any necessary information
it will list each sector where troops answer the call and the
number who showed up followed by the total number of military
resulting (in parentheses).
.s3
If <NUMBER> is a positive number that many draftees will be sought in
each sector regardless of any military already in the sector.
.s3
If <NUMBER> is a negative number of the form -\fBxxx\fP then an
enlistment quota is established and the draft board
will attempt to enlist enough in each sector to bring
the total number of military up to \fBxxx\fP in each sector.
.s3
Although the program tries to draft the specified number of
civilians in each sector only a limited fraction of the civilians
in a sector can be called upon at any one time and no one in
an urban area is willing to be drafted.
The percentage of the populace that can be drafted is strongly related
to the happiness level of the country although sociologists, economists,
and military analysts are still trying to analyze the exact relationship.
It is known that heavy enlistment diminishes happiness.

Civilians who are drafted into the military become
eunuchs* irreversibly (no population growth), and lazy workers to boot.

Note that there is a cost of 0.2 BTUs per draftee in addition to the
basic cost of the command and enlistees use up some mobility in the
enlistment process.
