Ahaha, irony because the UK was notorious for being mostly impenetrable due to being isolated by sea. And as a result, they had a reputation for having the strongest navy/fleet.thaluikhain said:

Other way round, surely. If they hadn't had a strong (not necessarily strongest, they had some close calls) fleet, they wouldn't have been impregnablish.CodeOrange said:
But yeah, if you did invade them, which you can't, it wouldn't take too long because they have so little landmass.
I have a simple answer for this. It's either iraq or iran. The europeans have been trying to invade that little hole in the wall country for several thousand years but they can never quite conqueror it. they always get tired and eventually give up. Europeans always lose in the war of endurance to iraq/iran. i really think it's iran. even the all powerful americans can't beat em.
USA, Russia, or perhaps Switzerland. For those who are surprised about the last one, every man must spend some time in the military. After they have served, every soldier is encouraged to keep their weapon. (though if they keep it, it's modified so that there is no fully automatic setting) Another thing to note is that each soldier keeps their weapon in their home. Good luck, potential invaders.

Can you imagine America/Russia/Canada or Britain invading Australia though? Even the butterflies are poisonous.
Both the USA and Russia.
Have you seen the size of these countries?!
They both have large, high-tech armies, just spread across the territories.
You might get the drop on 'em and actually SEIZE the territory, but then you're in for a massive guerilla, then they'll rip out your spine from your arse and make you eat it.

I would have to agree with a lot of people and say Russia, just due to their history (also love the Russian accent) but I wouldn't rule out China.
If you mean COMPLETELY conquering a nation, than Russia hands down, but all of russia east of Moscow is pretty much snow and barren land, so no sane invader would try to completely annexe it. Oh and BTW, a huge number of gun owners will not make a country easy to seize, rather the opposite. Lets admit it, humans are selfish creatures, and gun owners are more likely to use their arms to rob their own country men. In any case, untrained gun owners are hardly going to stand a chance against professional soldiers.
Costliest invasion:USA
Bloodiest invasion:Either USA,China,or Russia
USA:because of their high tech, atomic bomb, EMPS, and neurotonic Bombs,
China: because of your law that requires all 18 year old boys to enlist in the army and go through a brutal training which they can DIE from
and Russia: nukes, rough terrain, scarce city's so invaders can't raid alot, cold weather
Longest Invasion:RUssia, im pretty sure they would do the same thing when Napolioan Invades, burn the city and run to the next

China is pretty good at wars, plus if their past is anything to go by they're more likely to go all out than most others.

It's pretty damn hard to invade somewhere if you have no idea where it is or even if it exists.

If going from The U.S., I would say India. The place is huge, has a huge population, and is surrounded by natural features to keep the invaders away. Also, those categories are synonymous with each other. Back to India, You would need to cross the Punjab desert and the Hindu Kush mountains to the west, Tibet and the Himalayas to the north, and the mountain jungles of Burma and Bengal to the east. An amphibious invasion is met with the Deccan plateau, the Punjab desert, or the Bengali jungle. And India has a proud military tradition, meaning higher quality and more patriotic troops for their armed forces.

Costliest Invasion: Russia (try equipping your army with special weapons and clothing againist the famous Siberian winter)
Bloodiest Invasion: China (with a population of about 1,5 billion, they will soon be able to take over the world...)
Longest Invasion: Again, Russia (the world's largest country)
Overall, I believe that the Russian military is a force to be afraid of. They have highly advanced technology (perhaps better even than the US), a large population willing to fight and have grown up in highly hazardous conditions (the aforementioned Russian winter).
