#2The Finns will save us!
Also, can't blame the Germans for being unsure which side to be on in the next great war..

#3Belgian here, as a resident of one of the bottom 3 countries I have to say I thought about this question myself a few times in the past. Even though I would never join the army to fight wars, should an occupation come I would do everything in my power to resist and sabotage. So to this question I would have to answer 'no' even though that doesn't mean I'd give up on my country.

I am really curious about a more thourough breakdown of these numbers. I doubt immigrants would have the same interest in war as the natives.

#5That's one of the rare moments where I feel that I can relate to my fellow countrymen - I'm German.
Why would you 'fight a war for your country'? Given the way this is phrased that doesn't seem to talk about fighting in defense of one's country (I'd like to see the stats for that as well) unless my English as a foreign language skills fail me?

#6the red and blue colors suggest that less is worse. Why would that be the case? It seems like it should ideally be the opposite, if anything

Exactly. Would I be willing to fight a war because a fascist superpower was killing millions of human beings in my country? Probably, yes. Would I risk my life to protect the Conservative Party and banking institutions? Less likely.

I read it as non-specific - don't think it implies that your country would be the aggressor.

> doesn't seem to talk about fighting in defense of one's country
I assumed it is in defence (and I guess everybody in my country would do the same - we have neither a possibility nor motivation to invade anybody, on the other hand Russian threat is widely accepted as a fact of live).
It should be specifed for comparable data.
