Crew: The ship is not a cruiseship, most of the people on board are employed on the ship itself.
- 23.400 employed in propulsion, power, water maintenance
- 88.700 employed in general maintenance
- 43.000 employed in shops and stores
- 260.200 employed in schools, restaurants, bars etc.
- 135.500 employed in govermental jobs, police force, security etc.
- 745.385 employed in offices
- 20.500 employed in food production
- 4.670 employed in air groups
- 80.000 employed in entertainment
- 230.000 employed in various others.

Facilities (I could bring up so far): - 620.000 appartments - 25.000 luxery appartments - 9 International hotels - 840 companies - 240 conference rooms - 462 restaurants - 78 bars - 26 cinema's - 12 theater's - 28 museums - 20 schools - 49 supermarkets - 6 super-size malls (over 1400 stores) - 12 swimming pools - 8 footballfields - 20 gyms - 2 natural parks

Unless all the Facilities are massive and each gym or cinema can accommodate thousands upon thousands of people at once, you have nowhere near enough facilities for the amount of people on the ship. You have 1.600.000+ adults employed on this ship, with children (by the way, what happens to the elderly?) you have 2 million to 2.2 million people, and I am assuming that this is a low-birth rate prosperous society. I don't even think you can fit all those people on, and if you can I don't think you can feed them.

Oh I think we all know the answer to that.

I knew all these question where about to be asked, I'm just designing a gigantic ship

Wether everything is possible I'll sort out later, but it probably won't. Just enjoy all the pixels!

Famous last words

Ofcourse there are lots of things that don't add up with this ship, but it's just my imagination, so just enjoy it and the social aspects of life on board are just a secondary for me;)

To address an older point:

Don't mention the gun, I'm still looking in what sort of armament she needs. Any suggestions?

None. Why does this ship even need to pretend to be a warship at all? Warships don't have arboretums!

It doesn't, but as it resembles somewhat of a nation at sea, and has ''security personal'' on board, I figured it would need some self-protection as well.

maybe just a bit of air defence. most nations have that as well. aircraft and escort ships can provide the rest, an land army shouldn't be needed IMO xD

No not an army ofcourse, but security forces that can handle onboard situations as well as offensive actions if needed. Somewhat of an Commando/Special Forces/Police/Anti-terrorist foce

Given a pure people per ton of ship comparison with the Oasis of the Seas, having a couple million people isn't actually all that unreasonable. There is an utterly massive amount of room in this thing. Mind you, I'm not sure how long it could go without outside supplies, but a ship this huge should be able to at least fit on board.

@Vossiej: Do you realize that at full load this ship will be mostly underwater?
