Nevermind who has the most poweful military, we all know who that is. What I want to know is what country you think is the least powerful, which one can be taken over by a group of girl scouts with pointy sticks.

Poll coming.

France!

J/k

Probably East Timor.

Vatican City. :D

Djibouti. There's just nothing there...

Nauru. What army?

Vatican. Who're they gonna send? Da friggin' Pope?

Monaco. It's tiny, and relies upon france for security.

Basically it's fucked.

The Vatican has just declared war on every nation on the planet. Describe their situation in one word, no more no less.

The people who've said it's the Vatican haven't given it much thought, the Catholic church has over one million members and the pope is it's head, if that doesn't hold political sway I don't know what does.

Djibouti. There's just nothing there...
Seconded. The cornerstone of there economy is animal hides! How do you weapons out of animal hides?

It's the tiny Republic of Togo, isn't it?

Seconded. The cornerstone of there economy is animal hides! How do you weapons out of animal hides?

Garrots? Whips? Lassos?

Yeah, its not as if we ever experienced during our lifetime an intifada where kids armed with slingshots were attacking soldiers armed with assault rifles.

Yeah, but how would that turn out if that was your only defense?

Togo. :D

How about Monarco?

Monaco. It's tiny, and relies upon france for security.
Yeah, but the rich gamblers' bodyguards might put up a fight. :)

How about San Marino, if you can get Italy to stay neutral?

How about Monaco?
They probably have enough money to pay the US to defend them. Heh!

Vatican. Who're they gonna send? Da friggin' Pope?

The Swiss Guard?

Of course, I also selected the tiny Republic of Togo in the "Most Powerful" thread, so there you go. The glass is neither half-empty nor half-full.

Moldova. It has no economy to speak of, and half the country is controlled by the Russians. Russia doesn't even border Moldova! However, that may change if Moldova joins the EU like it plans to.

The Swiss Guard?
One of the most selective, highly trained, and best armed militaries in the world.

Not true! The glass is half empty 'cause that's all Togoans can afford! :D

Huh? I thought their "weapons" consisted of halberds and swords! :confused:

I know this thread is for least powerful militaries, but what about Costa Rica? They have NO military! Although, admittedly, the tourism money probably has their economy going really strong...ignore me, I'm new. ^_^!

No. Hi! :D

That's what 'they' want you to believe. They are also equipped and trained in the use of SMGs.

Yep, well known military tactic. Trick the enemy into thinking that you are weaker than you are ;)

Kewl. So now the Swiss Guard defend God with SMGs. :rolleyes:

I believe they defend his representative on earth.

Plus, without professional military training from the Swiss Army you don't get in.

DEUS EX SUBMACHINA.
ROFLMAO! :D

DEUS EX SUBMACHINA.

Ha ha.

Well this day has got off to a good start.

Won't stay that way to :(

I believe they defend his representative on earth.
"Tu es Petros." seems to imply ... oh nevermind. :p

Damn! [ tears up his application ] :p

Anybody think of Pitcairn Island? There are about 40 people there, literally.

Aren't they defended by Australia?

Vatican City. :D

I have to agree, as the Vatican's Swiss Guard are all armed with halberds and the like. If you can deal with a bunch of angry Catholics, you can take over the city with such modern technology as a musket and a baseball bat.

That would be the Kingdom of Jose Cuervo (now called the Republic of Tequila, I believe). The Jose Cuervo company bought an island off of the British Virgin Islands and declared independence.

Anna Nicole Smith is their Queen.

Yes, I'm serious.

http://wired-vig.wired.com/news/business/0,1367,1065,00.html

Is there any particular reason why Haiti, the ACTUAL least powerful nation on earth, isn't on here?

Jw...

P.S.(dunno if hait gained power or not, but as of 4 months ago it was the least powerful...in policy debate anyway.....)

Rofl, you're a hoot, Gramps! :D
Thanks, but if you call me "Gramps" one ... more ... time! :mp5:

Whoa, look at the time...gtg...buh-bye!

Ah yes, Russia shall tremble before the might of nations such as Cyprus and Malta. You really don't want to mess with those guys.

Anybody think of Pitcairn Island? There are about 40 people there, literally.

There were 47, but then 6 of them got convicted of raping and indecently assaulting underage girls. I really think that the Pitcairn Islanders should put 'get a military' pretty low on their to-do list. They have more important shit to deal with first.

That's hilarious!

I especially like: "declaring an iguana named JC Roadhog as mascot." :D

You see, there's one that has fallen for the trap. Recon is the most important part of any military operation.

No shit! Tell you what .. I'll meet ya there and even buy the first rounds! :D

I thought about it, but there are still a lot of guns and angry people there, even if they have next to nothing else.

Woo! I wonder what it takes to get citizenship and since they're not a UN Nation, can we unilaterally go take over? You can be my Senior General of the Armies.

Hmm, I remember a story of a man in Italy creating a country in his apartment. He renounced citizenship to Italy and all that such, and started printing his own money too. The Italian army was called in (literally) to break in and force the man to sign a document saying that his make-believe country does not exist, etc.

^ I think any of us with a baseball bat could have taken that country down *cough cough*

Try it.


No honestly please.


You can't put a price on that sort of entertainment.


An elite fighting unit beating the crap out of somebody armed with nowt but an antique firearm and a wooden stick.

Apparenrtly there is an extra state in Australia that's not on any maps. If my memory serves me correct, it was in northern WA somewhere. Some people declared a state or something like that; i saw it on the ABC ages ago. They have their own money and even a freakin economy (farmers, merchants and a pub) :eek:

Never mind that, just imagine if the takeover was successful: Navassa finds himself surrounded on all sides by a hostile nation. He has no agriculture, and the only source of food once supplies run out is going to be feasting on rats or birds. I am not sure if the Vatican City does actually have its own water supply, or if it is dependent on the graces of Rome for that one. To add to all that, he also has over a billion very pissed off Roman Catholics gunning for him. Overall I would say this plan needs a bit of work, unless recreating a medieval siege is the desired result.

San Marino. It's the second or third smallest country in the world, and is completely surrounded by Italy; it beats out Monaco as weakest because Monaco can get supplies by sea.

Don't knock the Vatican; they have the Swiss Guard. You just don't mess with the Swiss Guard.

Would it be on Pay Per View?


(On that topic. How does one get pay per view? I suppose I still need to complete Step 1: Get a TV)

I'm sure Italy would be real happy that he took over the Vatican. So happy in fact, they'd send in a greeting party.

Yeah, but they all have aids.

Well, I'm sure Christians from all over the world would go for a Crusade against Italy. It really wouldn't be fair at all for Italy =\

Yeah, but they all have aids.

If you're going to troll you could at least capitalise properly.

Write out "Yeah, but they all have AIDS" a hundred times or you will be sent to detention.

I remember on Family Guy they did that. I don't want to sound like someone who just watches TV though and I'm not. But Peter named his property Petoria because City Hall wouldn't let him dig his own swimming pool. Eventually, they invaded their neighbor's swimming pool, and were attacked by the Army, but unfortuately, the guy who names all the fancy operations wasn't there...

Well it is currently revolving around the issue of the "leetness" of the Swiss Guard and the Vatican Security Force, and the fact that Italy's army does exactly have a glowing military record ;)

(The fact that a significant portion of the Italian would probably switch sides was an interesting side bar for a while)

Hey man, you can take down tanks and such with halberds, of course! Any decent RTS game will allow that :)

I was under the ludicrous impression that 'all' meant 100%, but it appears that I have been sadly mistaken.

So, if I have 100 apples, and you take all of them, I then have 3.7 apples left, yes?

Precisely.

And if you were then to take all the apples I had remaining, then I would still have 0.1369 apples left, yes?

It would be a terrible thing for this demonstration of the impossibility of change then if I were to point out that 'only' an estimated 3.1 to 6.1% of the Haitian population are in fact HIV positive.

Oh let's stop, it's obvious Apostle isn't an idiot. I couldn't stop laughing after you went and said exactly to BWO's question.

Yeah that WOULD suck...however....the fact remains that it is in teh 90 percent range, depending on how many have dies in the past 3-6 months.

Oh let's stop, it's obvious Apostle isn't an idiot. I couldn't stop laughing after you went and said exactly to BWO's question.
Ok, I'm done. Those damn apples......every time....

Obviously the 'lizard people' are stopping this information becoming widely known on the internet and for their own nefarious purposes are replacing every reference to the 90% range with an average figure of about 6% (although as high as 12-15% in urban areas). Damn cunning of them.

Care to link us to a site where they haven't got their fiendish claws into the mix and covered up the 'real' percentage which you claim?

Of course, if about 93.3% of all Haitians had actually died in the past 3-6 months, and none of them were HIV positive, then there would be a rate in the 90% range. Strange that such a cataclysm hasn't made the news.

It would be quite tough as the lizard people have stopped this info. from becoming widely used on the net. I'll have to go buy a brand new world almanac, and get back to you.

There'd be a lot of Haitians in my neighborhood who would be sad that 93.whatever% of their native countrymen died.

Wait, I live in a chinese neighborhood, nevermind.

Back to the topic, Who thinks Switzerland can be beaten? They haven't had a war in like forever (no, WW2 doesn't really count, only because I have no idea what happened to them then), and all that strikes my mind when I think of the Swiss is their cheese, their clocks, and the Sound of Music (I'm not even sure if that was set there, I think it was).

Fairly good potential for a lot of well trained irregular soldiers who know the local terrain which isn't the easiest terrain to assault (especially if the soldiers are unfamiliar with it). High guns per capita rate.

I'd say they'd have a good chance.

Hmmm. First three things about Switzerland... Nazi Gold, the crossbow and hundreds of years of tradition in fighting other people's wars for them as mercenaries.

Panama. In fact, it's army was so ineffective when they actually HAD one that they decided to get rid of it. So now they have no army.

And also, gotta remember that all the money in the world flows there(Switz). Illegal money that is.

And btw, Megaloria, I declare war on you for making me snort water from seeing the BattlePope

Actually the German Military during World War Two did a study to see if it would be possible to invade Switzerland. They decided that since most Swiss owned a firearm it would be too difficult.

I'm actually planning on turning my house into my own country (I have never heard of Family Guy...). It will be called Initech (I have never seen or heard of Office Space). The Military will be me armed with 5 pellet guns. I have no doubt that I can take on the Canadian Military.

If you do, be afraid of the Canadian Navy. I mean, they sent out 3 battleships to claim an iceberg, I wouldn't doubt an aircraft carrier for you if you decided to make your own country.

Of course, I'm not too sure if they have planes that run off a carrier in Canada.

Why are the canadians sending battleships to claim an iceberg. This has got to be the most humorous thing i have ever heard. Just picture the canadians fighting off....cold weather....to claim a chunk of ice.

What? The Vatican is the most powerful country in the world! Just attack it, sit and watch what happens...

I vote for San Marino, or Andorra.

Crap i just voted Vatican but then realised they are very powerful.

Monaco or Tonga for least powerful.

Nauru. What army?Agreed. Obviously the rest of you haven't heard of this pointless little island.

Agreed. Obviously the rest of you haven't heard of this pointless little island.
Australia keeps its concentration camp there, so they'll probably be committed to Nauru's defense.

nuclear cookies that is :)

Geez... why has no one stomped these retards yet?

*The* is an exaggeration. But where political influence and international following is concerned they definately have excellent papers. Economically and where their offensive military is concerend however they are not that impressive.

This may just be my favorite NS thread so far. Hardly awake and already laughing :D

I'd keep my hands off Haiti though - Voodoo much, anyone?

Agreed. Obviously the rest of you haven't heard of this pointless little island.

Is Nauru not one of the more significant nations in the Coalition of the Willing?

Is Nauru not one of the more significant nations in the Coalition of the Willing?

I think that was Palau (too lazy to check, s/o will post a link anyway ;) )

The people who've said it's the Vatican haven't given it much thought, the Catholic church has over one million members and the pope is it's head, if that doesn't hold political sway I don't know what does.
Only One million?????????????
Ther is more than that just in the Boston area alone. Probably 20% or more of the worlds population is Catholic. The Catholic church is the most powerful government on Earth.

This may just be my favorite NS thread so far. Hardly awake and already laughing :D

I'd keep my hands off Haiti though - Voodoo much, anyone?
Trust me, don't start with haiti again. All sorts of things will happen to you, staring off with infinite apples and ending with lizard people.

Unless you like that sort of thing.

Trust me, don't start with haiti again. All sorts of things will happen to you, staring off with infinite apples and ending with lizard people.

Well, if that doesn't sound like Voodoo right there!

Of course, that's why I wouldn't mess with Haiti in the first place, as opposed to, say, advocating an easy invasion based on the fact that 96.3% of the population plus a couple lizards have AIDS. But hey, who'd do that? :p

Somalia

Without a government, there's very little power a state can have

The channel island of Sark. It's about 1/2 a mile across, and inhabited by 1 millionare who brought island years and years ago. In fact he's proably dead now and his less rich sons live there. All 4 of them.

Monaco. It's tiny, and relies upon france for security.

Basically it's fucked.
But, like Luxembourg(sp?) and Lichtenstein(sp?), it's small but also rediculously rich...

Sark is admistered by the UK. If we count semi-dependent territories, I nominate Monserrat. 2/3rds of the island, including the airport and capital, were rendered nonexistant/uninhabitable by a volcano.

Not true! The glass is half empty 'cause that's all Togoans can afford! :D
I think they're called Togas.:p

Why isn't Iceland in the poll? They have a coastguard and an anti-terrorist unit. As long as the american NATO-forces don't deploy, I don't think there's a whole lot they could do...

I nominate Monserrat. 2/3rds of the island, including the airport and capital, were rendered nonexistant/uninhabitable by a volcano.
Yeah, but their national soccer team totally pwned Bhutan's. Up in the Himalayans, to boot. Must be their Secret Tectonic Super Power. It's so secret, nobody knows they've taken over the world years ago.

Youve all got it wrong, Disneyland is obviusly the least powerfull nation in the world.

Sealand is could be taken over by a group of cranky four year olds.

Anyone who said Vatican city isn't thinking about what they are saying. The pope is at the head of almost 2 billion catholics in the world. If he called up an army then the vatican would have no problem defending itself. Look at the Crusades man....:rolleyes:

moldavia cos it doesn't exist

Vatican. Who're they gonna send? Da friggin' Pope?
It might surprise you to hear this, but there are a bunch of Catholics who would defend their faith with their lives. Many of them live in Latin America and Africa, but some live in developed areas too. The ones in developed areas will buy the guns and plane tickets.

Andorra

The people who've said it's the Vatican haven't given it much thought, the Catholic church has over one million members and the pope is it's head, if that doesn't hold political sway I don't know what does.

The country is less than 0.5 square km, for crying out loud. The definition of "least powerful" according to the original poster is the ease with which it could be taken over, remember. They would have nowhere near enough time to "rally the masses," so to speak, before they got their asses handed to them on a silver platter.

Out of those choices, I'd have to say Vatican City. All the Swiss Guards have are spears. They've got guns everywhere else.

Yea out of the list I would say the Vatican is the weakest, because the only job there is to protect the Pope. However, if the Pope does come under attack then he'll have all the Catholics in the world backing him - so that'll be a big army. I don't think Maldovia should count because they'll have the backing of Russia...and if Belize has an army then I haven't seen it (I thought they didn't have one). I haven't heard of the other countries - did they just spring up overnite ? ;) Anywho, I think the easiest country to take over would have to be America - because I mean - well c'mon - Bush is a f*cking moron and he pulled it off ... so how hard can it be ???

I seem to recall some guy declaring himself King of the Moon. I'm pretty sure that monarchy is quite deposable.

Well, if that doesn't sound like Voodoo right there!

Of course, that's why I wouldn't mess with Haiti in the first place, as opposed to, say, advocating an easy invasion based on the fact that 96.3% of the population plus a couple lizards have AIDS. But hey, who'd do that? :p
Pissed off girl scouts with pointy sticks, apparently.

Why is Belize a choice? I thought the British didn't mess around when it came to their former colonies.

I side with whomever voted Monaco.

Anywho, I think the easiest country to take over would have to be America - because I mean - well c'mon - Bush is a f*cking moron and he pulled it off ... so how hard can it be ???
Ok, I just have to say something to this.

Pearl Harbor, hundreds of bombs. America got mad.
Hiroshima, america dropped TWO bombs. Japan forfieted.

Let's see YOU take over america hotshot.

Um, the Vatican City has the SWISS GUARD! :sniper: They sure as hell will not go down without a fight!

Tuvulu. THAT is a country that I could single handedly take over with my 1940s carbine. It's a total of 9 square miles total. If your wondering where it is It's in Oceania... Find New Zealand and then look North East or so.

Somalia

When I become dictator of the world, I'm going to glass that country a thousand times over.

Oh right! I didn't know that, ta.

Has anyone really bothered thinking about what power means besides military might? The Vatican can and does influence the catholic populations around the world and can thereby lobby in favor of its interest in national legislation. The most recent such event was the failing of a referendum in Italy that the Pope called Catholics to vote against.
Everyone payed homage to the late Pope John Paul II. The EU even temporarily lifted its ban on Robert Mugabe so he could visit the ceremony.
None of the other countries seem to have that kind of power, so the Vatican shouldn't really be on that list.

Have you bothered to read the title on the poll? Least powerful military on earth.
However, agreed on the vatican topic. The vatican has probably got to be the MOST powerful nation when it comes to followers and power over people, so there really can't be a place for it on a poll about overall least powerful nations. Judged on military might though, it's not that wrathful.

Actually the catholic church has over a billion members. Its the largest sect of christianity on the planet. IT also has the Swiss guard. And its a known fact that the swiss guard can kick the french military's ass at any time of the day. (IF they haven't fixed the thing on google.com go to google type in French Military Victories and hit I'm feeling lucky)

Yet, the power of the vatican at any given time by itself is not that militarily impressive. While in a moments notice the rest of the world would be all ofer you for blowing up the vatican, the vatican itself is not that militarily impressive.

While your at it, type in "Failure" It's hilarious.

The least powerful country in the world is...

Well, there was that post about Haiti that caused all the infinite apples... ;)

i would go with fiji- its a tiiiiny island, and im not even sure if they have a military

Out of those choices, I'd have to say Vatican City. All the Swiss Guards have are spears.
And SMGs.

And SMGs.

Which probably makes them the only army in the world with personal weapons which have sufficient range to strike anywhere else in their nation, regardless of where the guard is positioned. I'd like to see the US manage that.

Swaziland- Any country smaller than Louisana whose adult population is 40% afflicted with AIDS, and has no army is obviously fucked.
Props to them for being the last country with a king however, and I must admit the king is quite a pimp.

*coughcough* England *coughcough* granted they currently have a queen, but the operative word is monarchy.

Plus a few Scandinavian countries. Sweden, I think...

More like >1 billion.
BTW, girl scouts with pointy sticks would have a hard time against Swiss Guardsmen with halberds and lucerne hammers! Not to mention the "real" security team with assault weapons and extensive training.

And SMGs.

Yeah but the 7.62x39mm Kalashnikov bullet is going to do a lot more damage than some 9x19mm parabellum, unless of course the Pope has been working on some pistol super bullet in his spare time.

And anyone can get an Ak-47. Even the Swazis with their wacko king and number one AIDS rank. I mean, let's face it, Vatican City is so small most places could beat it by throwing rocks at it for a significant amount of time.

Swaziland- Any country smaller than Louisana whose adult population is 40% afflicted with AIDS, and has no army is obviously fucked.


About 40% infected with HIV although not with full-blown AIDS, but anyhoo... M3rcenaries is in for a surprise when the 3,500 soldiers of the Umbutfo Royal Defence Force appear to wreck his invasion plans. Lesson one: recon.

Because the millions of Christians in the world would thoroughly pwn whoever tries.

Not to mention the Swiss Guard would probably have a battlecruiser in orbit or something
Billions mate Billions.
*Evil Grin*

Vatican City = Church = 2,000 years of wealth...not weak at all...

Malta maybe lol (inside joke for kid in my class from Malta)

More like >1 billion.
BTW, girl scouts with pointy sticks would have a hard time against Swiss Guardsmen with halberds and lucerne hammers! Not to mention the "real" security team with assault weapons and extensive training.
Contrary topopular opinion, the Swiss guard is far more dangerous than it looks. In World War II, after the Italian people had forced Mussolini out of power, the Swiss Guard alone managed to hold off the occupying German army armed only with aforementioned Halbards, pikes and swords.
Not to mention that every single guardsman is trained by the swiss military as an elite soldier. And by the way, they are the "real" security team. With automatic weapons and extemsive training. It's just that the guardsmen out in public don't have their sub-machine guns, so you don't really get to see that side of them...
Plus there is usually the Italian Police force standing by to give a helping hand, although their help might be questionable in times of war, unless they switched sides due to extreme faith...

Vatican is in the list? Are you cracked?!?!?!

For one, even though most of you think that religion has no relevance, the Vatican still weilds a hell of alot of political influence, thanks to the pope and the Catholic Church. And that in turn influences millions of Catholics, and vicariously Christians, as well. They have also influenced the world since the Roman Empire. To trace every Vatican influence you would need a pretty long list.

Least powerful nation my ass. For a small chunk of land, it has a disproportionate amount of power.

That, and they have the Swiss Guard. They're hardcore. ;)

I picked Vanatu because unlike Vanatu, i've heard of all the other nations. :)

FEAR the vatican City!
you don't want to fight a horde of billions of Christians!

I rather think that the netherlands are the weakest, don't want to send their army when it could be a little dagerous...

Vanuatu is a island group near Australia - the only reason I know is one of my friend was born there.

And does it matter anyway which is the weakest nation?

Lichtenstein. Never heard of it? That's why it gets my vote for least powerful.

Oh, and Vatican City shouldn't be on the list. It's tiny, yes, but it's the seat of the Catholic church, a very large religion. Even if you don't care about the Pope, the fact is, that when he says something, an awful lot of people listen. And the Swiss Guard, despite some having funny suits, are not guys to be trifled with, either.

Pitcairn island is quite powerless as well. The only reason it hasn't been annexed is probably because no one thinks it's really worth it.

France!

J/k

Probably East Timor.

Nah The Australians will defend East Timor, we helped them kick out Indonesia

*coughcough* England *coughcough* granted they currently have a queen, but the operative word is monarchy.

Plus a few Scandinavian countries. Sweden, I think...

Sweden and Denmark, but the fact is that neither the queen of England, Denmark, or the king of Sweden have any imediate power, sure the Danish queen can rebel the goverment or refuse them access to the seat of power, but if she where to actjully do that it wouldent even be 10 minuts before Denmark would be very close to its first bloody rebelion in the known history of mankind, most monarchs may have power on paper but they are in no way powerfull enough to influence politics directly (in other words there "of with her head!" commands wont be followed.)

Leaving us back at square one: Swaziland being the only country left with a king with direct political influence.

Apart from that as said before disneyland (or is it disneyworld? the american one...) is infact a country, something about them not being allowed to own that much land otherwise, but obviusly the theme park is left without an army (unless you count the pirats of the caribian) obviusly making it the weakest country in the world.

.

Vatican. Who're they gonna send? Da friggin' Pope?
I can see the Pope's laser-targeted defense now....
THE POWER OF CHRIST COMPELS YOU!

Yeah Vatican is probbaly the most powerful..

All you people who voted for the vatican are retarded. Not only are there about million swiss gaurds in the city (who, by the way, have training and skills comparable to that of the US's elite green berets), but the second anyone attacks the vatican , every country with a catholic population will retaliate.

I mean honestly. Think.

Canada, the military is made up of 50.000 people, 25.000 of which are offic personnel, and they have one of the longest borderlines in the world, its impossible to defend.

PS We all know who has the strongest military in the world, yeah I do, Russia, but you wre probably thinking of America. Don't jump to conclusions based on what you hear on TV.

PS 40% of the people here = dumb enough to vote vatican, and are, ironically, plaing a political simulation:headbang:

Huh? I thought their "weapons" consisted of halberds and swords! :confused:

No. Halberds, swords, pistols, submachineguns, assault rifles, and I'm sure they've got a couple heavy machine guns and anti-tank weapons in their arsenal just in case.

FEAR the vatican City!
you don't want to fight a horde of billions of Christians!

I rather think that the netherlands are the weakest, don't want to send their army when it could be a little dagerous...


Ummm, Vatican doesn't command all Christians dumbass.

Orthodoxy will own the world soon enough, unless Islam beats us to it.

Vatican. Who're they gonna send? Da friggin' Pope?

Actually, Vatican City has some of those handy Swiss Pikemen, so there might be a great battle remembered throughout the ages between the Pikemen and the girlscouts.

Canada, the military is made up of 50.000 people, 25.000 of which are offic personnel, and they have one of the longest borderlines in the world, its impossible to defend.

Thats why they have undercover killerdear scouting the border constantly, as soon as an invasionary force is encountered they run to the nearest camp calling the grizzles to action.
Makes me wonder who would win, the Vatican vs 1000 grizzly bears.. would surely make the best reality tv-show ever.

I think I've found a winner... (http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/bv.html)

I'll vote for the Pacific Island nation of Nauru, which most European micro-states could easily conquer in a war if it wasn't on the opposite side of the world.

Salient Nauru facts:

Population - c. 13,000

Land Area - 21 sq. km

Arable land - 0%

Exports - $640,000 (2004 estimate)

Imports - $19.8 million (2004 estimate)

Armed forces - 0. None. Not a sausage.


Nauru was granted independence in 1968, and for a while managed to gain one of the highest 3rd world per capita incomes - on a par with Gulf oil states - on the back of extensive phosphate deposits. Less charitably, its entire interior consisted of high-value fossilised bird sh*t.

Those deposits have now virtually run out, and it now turns out that the phosphate income trust funds the nation set up to guarantee the island's future were either manipulated by con men or dipped into by the government, and Nauru is now essentially bankrupt.

All of its once-extensive Australian real estate investments - including Nauru house, once the tallest building in Melbourne - have been repossessed, Air Nauru is struggling to hold on to its one remaining airplane, telephone service was recently briefly cut off when the nation wasn't able to pay its bills, and what's left of the economy is largely kept afloat by Australia in exchange for Nauru hosting off-shore refugee centres (now virtually empty) on Australia's behalf.

And on top of that, the island is facing ecological disaster as several decades of phosphate mining have left the interior a virtually unihabitable moonscape wasteland.

Monaco, Liechtenstein and San Marino look like superpowers in comparison, and Vanuatu is much, much healthier. And before a Kiwi tries to say 'Niue', Niue isn't an independent state - it's a self-governing territory in free association with New Zealand, or what most of us used to call a self-governing colony.

And Eurasian Fascio, Bouvet Island doesn't count either - it's an uninhabited possession of Norway.

Iceland. Iceland has NO military at all. Of course they could still probably take the french.......

Not sure about what year the statistics are from but why don't you use this site:

http://www.nationmaster.com/graph-T/mil_arm_for_per_cap

I think I've found a winner... (http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/bv.html)

Military - note:
Definition Field Listing
defense is the responsibility of Norway

Don't think so.

LOL @ the people that voted Djibouti


#6 Djibouti 16.7819 per 1,000 people

Leaving us back at square one: Swaziland being the only country left with a king with direct political influence.

The only country with a king with direct political influence (apart from Thailand, Tonga, Bhutan, Qatar, Jordan, Morocco, Nepal, Bahrain, Cambodia and Saudi Arabia).

Iceland. Iceland has NO military at all. Of course they could still probably take the french.......


defense is provided by the US-manned Icelandic Defense Force (IDF) headquartered at Keflavik

Yea sure..

Yea sure..

They also have several lightly armed coastguard vessels, IIRC.

The only country with a king with direct political influence (apart from Thailand, Tonga, Bhutan, Qatar, Jordan, Morocco, Nepal, Bahrain, Cambodia and Saudi Arabia).

See thats why im not very good at geography... and incase you were wondering i were refering only to the countries mentioned. i knew there were some other countries with a monarchy with direct power but i really hate looking stuff up unless its to annoy the crap out of someone, so i dident..

Meh i still sound stupid, oh well i can live with that.

Not sure about what year the statistics are from but why don't you use this site:

http://www.nationmaster.com/graph-T/mil_arm_for_per_cap

And Nauru is so pathetically powerless it doesn't even make the list.

Really, I don't know why we're even having this discussion - the winner is Nauru, people.

By a country mile.

vanuatu. Who would come to their aide? The Vatican has so many other nations to help it and they have a National Guard.

Pitcairn Islands.

Population: 46.

Labour force: 15 able-bodied men (1/4 of whom have been arrested)

Defence is the responsibility of the UK, but really, if the PM wanted to do anything everybody would just laugh.

For those who said Vatican, think about it. The Pope lives there. It's the seat of Roman Catholisism. Few western countries would be able to sit idly by and watch it be invaded. If they had to handle it themselves they would be screwed, but all of Europe would rush in the help them, so would the rest of the roman catholic world.

They're one of the few countries that simply doesn't need a military because who would dare attack them? Plus, any invading army would fall over laughing as soon as they saw the swiss guard's uniforms ;)

Pitcairn Islands.

Population: 46.

Labour force: 15 able-bodied men (1/4 of whom have been arrested)

Defence is the responsibility of the UK, but really, if the PM wanted to do anything everybody would just laugh.


But the Pitcairn Islands aren't a nation, they're a territory of the UK. The poll clearly says 'least powerful nation', not 'least powerful nation, overseas territory, or dependency'.

Because if it was down to territories, I'd nominate Clipperton (http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/ip.html) instead of Nauru.

Wasn't Moldavia the country being systematically taken over by that dastardly supervillian, the Hypnotist?

Somalia. They're just now forming a government after years of civil war. For over a decade, they literally had no government.

I'm going to say Bhutan...

...yeah, it's the Switzerland of Asia geographically speaking, but their annual military budget is only $14 million dollars. :p

Geez... why has no one stomped these retards yet?

You make it sound like no one's tried.

The country is less than 0.5 square km, for crying out loud. The definition of "least powerful" according to the original poster is the ease with which it could be taken over, remember. They would have nowhere near enough time to "rally the masses," so to speak, before they got their asses handed to them on a silver platter.

Because it isn't as if the Vatican City was built to withstand an attack now was it?

When I become dictator of the world, I'm going to glass that country a thousand times over.

Did it spill your drink? Or did you catch it looking at your bird?


Not to mention that every single guardsman is trained by the swiss military as an elite soldier. And by the way, they are the "real" security team. With automatic weapons and extemsive training. It's just that the guardsmen out in public don't have their sub-machine guns, so you don't really get to see that side of them...

I think the Vatican also has a modern security force without the ceremonial role.

Also, if war were declared, I'm sure the Pope could reform the Noble Guard and the Palatine Guard.

All you people who voted for the vatican are retarded. Not only are there about million swiss gaurds in the city (who, by the way, have training and skills comparable to that of the US's elite green berets), but the second anyone attacks the vatican , every country with a catholic population will retaliate.

In fact there are 4 officers, 23 NCOs, 70 halberdiers, 2 drummers and a chaplain,


I mean honestly. Think.

Hmm

Somalia. They're just now forming a government after years of civil war. For over a decade, they literally had no government.

Thats the problem though, they still have thousands of people roaming the country side with weapons, making them harder to take than some of the other countries listed..

They also have several lightly armed coastguard vessels, IIRC.
Which CRUSHED (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cod_Wars) the british navy. :D Twice.

I just want to see Nogova's declaration of independence :rolleyes:

Hm. I would have to say for this one...Djibouti, because I've never heard of anyone...living there.

Last i heard about Djibouti was that the French Foreign Legion maintains a garrison there to help the tiny nation defend its borders...

Following his repatriation, Achenbach established an "exile government" in Germany, in opposition to Roy Bates, assuming the title of "Chairman of the Privy Council". Upon Achenbach's resignation for health reasons in August 1989, the rebel government's "Minister for Economic Co-operation", Johannes Seiger, assumed control, with the position of "Prime Minister and Chairman of the Privy Council". Seiger continues to claim that he is Sealand's legitimate ruling authority.

Hey, Bates took it with a helicopter assault. A helicopter and a plank with a nail in it should do the trick.

Nauru. The Vatican has global political power, and all of the others on the poll actually have a military.

Just to be picky (Gee, I hope it hasn't been addressed yet): the proper shortened name for the country (from the usual Republic of) is Moldova, not Moldavia.

And I don't know why you have them in your poll: they can kick the crap out of countries that aren't even on your poll, such as Malawi. I live next door to Moldova and sometimes break out in cold sweats just thinking about how one day it could all... go... wrong...
