The size of the FIVE -dividend of a state is measured according to the specific situation. The guideline is the graduating model FIVE which takes into account the disarmament achievements as well as the actual threat. More than 150 states are compared in a list compiled yearly. If their demilitarisation and disarmament process is positive, they are listed in the top places. The more negative the aspects of conversion, disarmament and demilitarisation are rated, the more a state moves toward the bottom.
Many states are virtually without a threat.
Other countries exist in zones of relatively low military danger, for example the states of southern Europe. At the moment almost 40 wars are raging, in many states civil wars have been fought for decades. Some states like Tibet and East Timor have been occupied by foreign troops for years. A highly threatening situation due to neighboring states could also be claimed by Taiwan or Pakistan. The understandable demands of smaller and threatened states for massive disarmament on the part of their highly armed neighbors must be taken into consideration by a system of gradual reduction of expenditures for military and arms.
