At least 15 British frigates, five Icelandic patrol boats and one British supply ship were damaged by ramming between 1975 and 1976

This is one of the cases, where you can’t colour Greenland and Denmark proper the same, as Greenland is not part of general Danish conscription. A Danish citizen living on Greenland can volunteer to do Danish conscription or take part in local pre-conscription training.

Idk about the choice of colours. Why is having military conscription a bad thing?

Switzerland should be orange with those definitions.
Service is mandatory for male Swiss citizens only, about 38% of the total population since 25% of the pop. are not citizens.
Since 1996 you can choose civil service instead of military service. About 17% of the total pop. has been in the military.

We’ve actually never had conscription here in Northern Ireland, since its creation in 1921

Are we saying military service or national service? I met a dude from Austria who was a devout Christian. He had to go through Basic Training, but due to religious exemptions, he spent his 2 years working as a night shift ambulance driver in his tiny village.

TIL that Iceland has no armed forces whatsoever.
Edit: neither do Costa Rica and Panama.

Finland should be orange unless you count all women not fit for service. Or the color coding could just be better.

Funny thing – in Finland the military service ia for men only. Every few years they start a new vote to remove the mandatory law and change for volunteers but sincr women are half the population they always vote against it…

There is still an active, enforced conscription. You get a letter at 17 stating you are conscripted. The letter then explains that despite being conscripted, you have no orders to show up anywhere and you are automatically non-active, but should wartime arise, you are hereby involuntarily conscripted and can receive the order to present yourself at a medical check office and enter the army.
Men are conscripted from age 17-45 and women from age 17-23.
The law was changed in 1997 to stop having conscripts show up at a base, receive some basic training and then essentially sit on their arses doing nothing, but not having permission to leave, which was basically a massive waste of time and resources for everyone involved.
So now, you are still involuntarily conscripted, just put on non-active by default.

Greetings from Greece. It’s such a great joy to help our country by joining the army.
Just kidding. It’s a total waste of time (9 months of my life totally wasted) as we did very little actual training and spent most of our time doing repetetive and stupid chores and standing guard in the main gate of the military camp because some idiots actually believe that people would be crazy enough to actually want to enter the camp.
