Points represent sourced observations, including revisions. Revisions on the same effective date are not separate inventory events. Ranges appear in the table and are not plotted as exact points.

National full-time active military personnel; the separately reported reserve, gendarmerie and paramilitary totals are excluded. The national header explicitly states NIL; this is not inferred from an absent field.
2025 annual observation. Midyear resident population estimate.
Annual nominal GDP at current market prices, in source-reported current US dollars. Excludes purchasing-power-parity GDP and real GDP growth. Explicit 2026 economic-table year column; USD 43.4bn. The table was compiled in the November 2025 IISS assessment; this annual figure is an assessment/estimate and does not assert a final audited outturn. The explicit 2026 column is forward-looking relative to the November 2025 assessment and is retained as a forecast, not an observed final outturn.
2020 annual observation. Active-duty military personnel, including qualifying paramilitary forces; not an active-regular-only count.
