While it might seem normal for every country to have a military, there are some that don't have any armed forces whatsoever.
Can you guarantee security without a military? For most people, this question sounds like a contradiction, but there are countries that maintain their territorial sovereignty without actually having military forces.
With the help of the CIA World Factbook, we have identified the 31 countries that currently don't have armed forces.
While there are some nations on this list that don't have a military whatsoever, others are dependent on other, more powerful countries that act as protective forces in the case of an emergency. For example, the Marshall Islands' military defense is the responsibility of the US, while France and Spain both provide military support to Andorra because of their proximity.
These are the 10 most powerful militaries in the world in 2019
In some territories that don't have any standing army, their police forces function as de facto military forces. In Costa Rica, for example, the Fuerza Pública is responsible for the defense of the country's external borders in addition to the police's usual regulatory functions.
Andorra
The mini-state between France and Spain only has about 85,000 inhabitants. The country in the Pyrenees does have its own police, called Cos de Policia d'Andorra, but no military. The defense of the independent state is the responsibility of Spain and France, because of their close proximity.
Costa Rica
There have been no armed forces in Costa Rica since 1949, but police forces are usually used for defense purposes.
The country, which is often referred to as "Switzerland of Central America", proclaimed its permanent and unarmed neutrality in 1983. In fact, Costa Rica is protected by the US.
Dominica
Dominica is an island state in the Lesser Antilles in the eastern Pacific and is a member of the Commonwealth, a union of several sovereign states consisting of the United Kingdom and its former colonies. Dominica has a police force called the Commonwealth of Dominica Police Force, which also acts as a coastguard.
Greenland
Greenland is the largest island on earth and geographically belongs to North America but is an autonomous part of Denmark. In 2008, Greenland voted for stronger self-government and responsibility in domestic affairs.
In 2009, Greenland passed the Self-Government Act, recognizing that its citizens had a right to self-determination under international law. However, Denmark continues to exercise control over several policy areas, including foreign, security, and financial policy. This is why the Danish government is also responsible for the defense of the island.
Iceland
Although Iceland is a member of NATO, it has no permanent military force. NATO is responsible for Iceland's defense.
Since 2006, all US forces have withdrawn from Iceland. Iceland participates in international peace missions with the civilian Icelandic crisis management unit.
Liechtenstein
Liechtenstein is the sixth-smallest state in the world. Although the country has no military armed forces, its national police force cooperates closely with the military forces of neighboring countries like Austria and Switzerland.
Marshall Islands
After almost four decades under US administration, the Marshall Islands gained their independence in 1986. The Marshall Islands have no armed forces of their own so territorial defense is still provided by the US.
