Can you tell me how many,and which countries do NOT have a standing army? Or where I can find that information? Thanks!

Switzerland has no standing army. Instead, they have a well-armed citizen militia. Every able-bodied man from 18 up is required to be a militia member and carry arms. As a result, every Swiss home is impressively armed. Fully automatic weapons (machine guns) are commonplace in Swiss homes.
