Army is important to ensure the security of any country. But there are some countries in the world, which do not have an army. How to ensure the defense of these countries from an outside attack? Let's know-

Samoa

Samoa is a country in the continent of Oceania. The population of this country with an area of ​​2 thousand 842 square kilometers is about 200,000. Since the birth of the country, there has been no military force. There is a small police force and a maritime surveillance unit for internal security. Even these forces carry small and light weapons. This army of Samoa patrols the sea in petrol boats. A 1962 treaty with New Zealand would help Samoa in any security threat.

Marshall Islands

Marshall Islands is number 8 in the list of least populated countries. According to the United Nations, the number of people living here is less than 42 thousand. Located in Oceania, the Marshall Islands consist of five relatively large islands and 29 atolls (reefed lagoons). The country has 1 thousand 229 islands, big and small. The total area of ​​all the islands is only 181 square kilometers. This small country has no military since birth. However, there are police for internal security and Maritime Surveillance Unit for patrolling the sea. Of course, this small country should not have any headache about not having a military. Because the US military is committed to their security.

Andorra

The location of the country of 468 square kilometers is in Europe. The population is around 80 thousand. The whole country is mountainous. Located between France and Spain, Andorra is surrounded by the Pyrenees Mountains. This European country has no railways as well as no airport. But most surprisingly, there is no standing army either.

Naturally, the country has not been involved in any war since birth. Andorra has emergency aid agreements with neighbors France and Spain. But there is a small volunteer army group, who only serve on various occasions. The paramilitary GIPA special force unit of the police is trained in counter-terrorism and hostage rescue.

Dominica

The population of the country of 754 square kilometers is slightly more than 73 thousand. The country has no army since 1981. In a country with such a small population it is very unusual that it is not. But there is a police force and coast guard. The police force may act as a military force at the command of the authorities in war or other emergencies.

nauru

Nauru, located south of the Marshall Islands, is located in Oceania. According to the information provided by the United Nations, the population of Nauru is 12 thousand 769. The country with an area of ​​21 square kilometers gained independence from Japan in 1968. Since then they have no army or military force. But they have an armed police force. Of course, in a country where there are 18 km of roads, law and order control is not very difficult. However, according to the agreement, Australia will protect Nauru in case of any danger.

Liechtenstein

According to the United Nations, the population of Liechtenstein is around 40,000. Small and large hills occupy two thirds of the total area of ​​this small country of 160 square kilometers. A small country, then a mountainous area, the Rhine River to the east, the mountains of Austria to the west - all in all, Liechtenstein was destined to have no airport. Similarly, there is no army in the country. In 1868, the country abolished the army to cut costs. However, formation of an army was allowed during the war but it was not required as there was no war.

The Oceania country gained independence in 1978. This tiny Commonwealth country has had no military since birth. However, there is no need for the country to have a military force. It has less population and size, and no natural resources.

Meanwhile, Tuvalue has not fallen in the strategically important area. However, there are police for internal security and Maritime Surveillance Unit for patrolling the sea. Still Australia will protect them in case of any danger according to the treaty.

As it has an area of ​​459 square kilometers, the population density is low. The country, which gained independence in 1994, is made up of 340 islands in the Pacific Ocean.

Palau has had no army since independence. A 30-member Maritime Surveillance Unit is attached to the police force to patrol the sea. Of course, this small country should not get into any trouble for not having a military force. Because the US military is committed to their security.
