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.

| November 2025 IISS population assessment | 6,219,751 people | International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) | superseded |
National full-time active military personnel; the separately reported reserve, gendarmerie and paramilitary totals are excluded.
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 21.6bn. 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.
Military reserve personnel in the 2025 IISS source edition cited by this Wikipedia row. Reservists are not normally kept under arms and are available for mobilisation. Excludes the separately reported Active military and Paramilitary columns. This is the cited edition year, not an exact census date.
