| | The list of countries in the Coalition of the Willing is particularly interesting because of the patterns it doesn't produce, and the under-reported patterns it does. | | | The "per 100,000 population" column was calculated by dividing the number of troops by the country's population, then multiplying by 100,000. | | | For example, it places Ukraine and Czech Republic in the 'unwilling' category, despite the fact that these two countries are in the Coalition of the Willing, and the then President of the Czech Republic was one of the world leaders most supportive of the invasion. |
