Your nation can be classified as:

Isolationist
This nations are similar to the totally peaceful nations, the different is that isolationists are totally peaceful and don't really take part in foreign issues, different from totally peaceful nations, that try to use diplomacy to solve their problems, isolationists will always never take part in foreign issues except in very rare cases where it is really necessary.


Totally Peaceful
This nations never join wars and usually try to use diplomatic means to solve any problems and conflicts, this doesn't mean that this nations don't have a military, they might have military but this nations are mostly defensive, some of this nations might have violent pasts, but today they are peaceful.


Mostly Peaceful
This nations sometimes go to offensive wars to defend their interests, but not often, they are mostly peaceful and most times will try to use diplomatic means to solve problems.


Normal
This nations are normal nations, this nations can have a well funded military, they go to wars but not all time, they are in the middle of the row.


Pro War
This nations go to wars to secure their interests, but many times, these interests and the nation's reasons to go to war can be questioned, as well as the quantity of times the nation goes to war, most of them have a well funded military capable to perform many attacks and good defenses.


Warmongers
This nations are extremely aggressive and powerful when talking about military, this nations have giant armies and arsenals that could possibly wipe out smaller nations, many also call this nations threats to the world peace.


Depending on how necessary I think this is, I might write your nation' classification and giving some details of why it it's here or where it might be in the future.

FAQs

OMG it's been like 52 minutes since I posted-why the hell haven't you ranked me yet so I can feed my ego?: Be patient, I don't have all the time in the world, I have other things to do, I will update the lists when I can.

Re-Rankings: The world of NS is often fast paced and things change fast.
