Samoa

Currently, Samoa has no set military force deployed for its protection. As a matter of fact, this country would have to look towards other countries and rely on their friendships & treaties to gain protection and defence in times of war. Regardless of the fact that Samoa has its own police force, this could not be considered as a military force to protect the entire country. So who’s going to protect it? At present, Samoa has good terms with New Zealand due to a friendship treaty of 1962. So if at any time military assistance is required, New Zealand would be unhesitant to provide help. But the treaty also says that both countries have the right to withdraw from the treaty at any time.
