As for 'giving' them money...why? Are they going to start as level 20 characters? Or are they going to work their way up to 20?

Which part of point 1 is so unclear that you ask this question?

I'm not making this play-by-post. And I don't want to give them unlimited resources, because as I said, I want them to feel constrained, I want my players to make meaningful choices in the kind of base they are building and the kind of NPCs that will inhabit their little kingdom.

If I don't do that, they could effectively render it impervious to any kind of assault or infiltration, and that's just not fun. I want them to feel like there actually are weaknesses that could be exploited and when and if that happens I don't want it to just be "crap, we didn't think of THAT" but something that they are aware of.

Hello everyone. This is my farst time posting on these 'ere official forums, although I've been playing Pathfinder many, many times before. I've created an accounted with one specifics reason- I need some major advise concerning the logistics of a campaign I'm planning to run.

So here's the thing- these are my major assumptions:

1. I want my players to be on 20th levels.

2. I want them to have a fully functioning HQ. The kind of stupid large base that is also appropriate for their levels (I fully expect them creating a demi-plane for this purpose among others).

3. I want them to design a cast of support characters, from monsters to regular servants that would assist them. I'm gonna help with that of course and attempt to do the mechanical legwork myself.

I want them to have as much creative freedom in designing these things as possible. I want it to feel like it's THEIR effort. But I also want them to work within some kind of constrains to feel like they have to make some serious choices.

Now given all that I have some questions, how much money should I give them to build this base, is there a rulebook specifically for something like this or other resources I could look into for tables and guidelines and about the NPCs how should I go about that? Should I give them a pool of points and levels to build these NPCs? Should I tie it into their base and use the same monetary resource in some kind of an abstraction? Again, is there a good resource for this?
