The Global Firepower website, which publishes an annual list of military powers in the world, has updated its data for this year with some changes.

As usual, at the top of the list, the three most powerful countries in the military are the United States, Russia and China, respectively.

However, if you look at the bottom, you will see an unprecedented change in the list.

Somalia is top among the bottom four in the world military list, behind only Kosovo, Bhutan, Iceland.

According to Global FirePower, Iceland has 81,474 potential military personnel. 48,070 of these people could be ready at any time to enlist in the armed forces. Every year, 1,779 people reach the military age.

However, Iceland does not have a well-established military. But the country has an air defense system, a coast guard, a police force and an administration force.

The Iceland military has not been established since 1869 but is a member of the world’s most powerful NATO alliance.
