Interesting how Lithuania and Latvia differ in military strength that much.
What do the white troops mean?
You should also briefly explain how Finland arrives at this high number of reservists.
You have compulsory military service for all men, from 165 to 347 days, and there is no alternative civilian service. And as I understood the Finns a few years ago, you are also considering extending compulsory military service to women.
Finland is a frontline state, not only do you share a 1300-kilometre border with the Russians, but the Russians are also building new bases practically right on your doorstep, such as on Gogland, from where it is 113 km to Helsinki.
Cool country names (love the finnish language btw).
Interesting but unusual for me to see a map with Suomi almost in the center. Sometimes I forget the earth is round…
What does the text for Poland say?
