Yes, quite obviously yes, I would have thought. All imperial states are military states aren’t they?

No to your question, i wouldn't call 19th century GB a military state. But the US is one, i would agree.

Would it surprise to learn that among the worlds nations the US ranks 76th in the number of military personel per capita? North Korea is #1 with 306 military personel per 1000 citizens. The US is 6.3/1000. The US is sandwiched between Namibia (#75) and Belize (#77).

Its also #22 in military spending as a percentage of GDP. However the US is #3 in per capita military spending.
