Military Help

So, I need some general info regarding the militaries of Norway and Sweden during WW1. What were their statistics and such?

Any help would be great.

No idea about armies, but I can help navally.

Norway:

Older craft:
4 Coastal Battleships (2 Norge, 2 Haarfagre) c. 3500 t
5 Monitors (1 Thor, 2 Mjoelner, 1 Skorpionen) c. 1500 t (Thor 2035 t)
2 Protected Cruisers (1120 & 1427 t)
1 Destroyer (415 t)
11 Gunboats (mainly c. 200 t, but 1 of 1045 t)
37 destroyers (only 13 built since 1900)

Newer vessels:
2 Nidaros Coastal Battleships (never finished - taken over by RN and completed as Gorgon-class Monitors)
3 Draug Destroyers (578t)
3 Teist Torpedo Boats (c.100t)
4 Submarines (206-268 t on surface)

Sweden:

12 Monitors (249-1594 t)
1 Armoured Cruiser (4310 t)
5 Torpedo Cruisers (c.800 t)
2 Destroyers (c.400t)
34 First-class Torpedo Boats (c.65t)
13 Second-class Torpedo Boats
9 Gunboats

Newer vessels:
3 Sverige Coastal Battleships (Sverige completed 10/5/17, the other two in 21 & 22)
1 Clas Fleming Cruiser-Minelayer (1550t)
6 Destroyers (c.450t, 2 more completed in '17)
5 Subs (100-200 t)
5 subs launched in 14 (inc. 30/8/14)
2 Subs launched '16
1 Sub in 11/17, 2 in early '18
1 Patrol Boat (58t)

That does help a bit.

What I'm just looking into is how Norway would have stood up to a Swedish invasion WW1-era. It's actually for this recent Map Contest.
