In Finland you are required ro participate though even if you live abroad. https://finlandabroad.fi/web/usa/varnplikt https://finlandabroad.fi/web/usa/varnplikt I don't know if they kept the conscription all along though unlike Sweden. There are many things to say with the Swedish restart. I would expect som improvements compared to last time. 1. Better salary. 2. Both men and women are expected to join. 3. There is a broader view of what conscription means. Defence is not only about military. It could be firefighting or nursing or taking care of elderly.
