There is no need for many people, only for motivated and able people and 
a bit of money.

The Minerva Republic fell mainly because the people there were not 
willing to fight.

Tonga has 100 K inhabitants, so if you take away the old, the children 
and the female (not used to conquer, but useful to defend) and the 
people not willing or able to combat, you have only a little force that 
you need to stand off. Around 1-2k people. It is not need to destroy it, 
only to dissuade it from attack. And if the target is hardened, they 
will back off after tasting a bit of blood.

Obviously, resisting an attack from US or Russia or China would be a bit 
more difficult. But they are too big to mess themselves in little 
troubles. UK Navy don't arrest pirates because they fear not being able 
to free themselves of them after for "Humanitarian reasons".
