Pretty cool examples bro, Saudi Arabia had a bloody history, where the brits helped the current monarchy take over in the 18th century. The US has 5 military bases there btw. One might consider that a (now) peaceful occupation.

I didn't know Alaska was a country.

I don't really know much about Norway's petrolium history, but I can't say I'm surprised that they weren't invaded for their oil, which is in the sea to begin with.
