Since Ukraine and Poland are considered powerful, can you make a new question for them?

He’s not just picking random country pairs that he personally likes! For Poland & Ukraine to be on this quiz, they’d have to have rankings that warranted it.

They are powerful, he used GlobalFirePower as a source, and they are pretty accurate.

Missing these:
Brazil & France with average 9
Switzerland & France with average 19

There's also the dodgy UK - Spain border, which, if counted, would make UK & Spain with 14 average.

I am not counting oversea areas.

France-Switzerland thing was a blunder while writing the quiz from my original research(document). I revised the whole quiz again. Waiting for approval.

Should probably count French Guiana as a constituent part of France, to be consistent with most other quizzes. But not Gibraltar.

definitively, France-Brazil should be counted

Absolutely, no question, France-Brazil should count. Do you count Alaska or Hawaii as part of the U.S.?

I'd have to reset the stats to add them so it's not going to be added at this time. Thank you for being aware of the correct status of French Guiana.

kalbahamut, why not the Gibraltar/Spain border? It's a border. I crossed it this evening. What do you think exists on the southern side?

My favourite type of quiz. One that you don't have to be an expert in the matter, but can deduce with some geographical knowledge allied to some basic notions of who may have a large military. Great quiz.

Strange. There is Russia and Norway, but not Russia and Finland. According to Wikipeida Norway has active personnel about 23 000, Finland has 33 000. Norway has active reserve of 40 000, Finland has 380 000 (total reserve of 900 000). Norway has 52 main battle tanks, Finland has 200. Norway has 144 infantry fighting vehicles, Finland has 212. Norway has about 380 armored personnel carriers, Finland has 860. Norway has 12 multiple rocket launchers, Finland has 52. Norway has 80 self propelled gun, Finland has 110. Norway doesn't have artillery, Finland has 700. Norway has "some" mortars, Finland has 716. Finnish ground based anti aircraft is MUCH larger than Norwegian. Norway has 68 combat aircraft, Finland has 127. Only Norwegian Navy is stronger than Finnish Navy, so maybe it makes this all to turn upside down?

This is completely false. Almost all of the numbers you mentioned is wrong and believe it or not, Norway has artillery. How do I know? I'm currently serving in the norwegian armed forces as a artilleryman on a m109 canon.
