File talk:Military expenditure percent of GDP.svg

What dates are these figues for?

As well, how about showing millitary expenditure as a percentage of the budget? This is merely a suggestion, but it does give an idea of priorities.

The figures were automatically retrieved from the CIA factbook on 2008-02-24. Check the CIA factbook for when the figures for a given country were updated; for most countries, the CIA numbers were updated around 2006. The CIA does not provide data for military expenditures as percentage of budget; you would have to find that data in other sources on your own. And assembling such a ranking would be difficult because it's hard to define what "budget" means. Do you count only central government budgets? Central+provincial+local? What about countries where provinces don't have much authority, so the central government's budget is proportionally larger? What about secret budgets? What about state-controlled corporations? etc. Tetromino (talk) 18:37, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No Data[edit]

Could someone add a grey box for "No Data"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Omni314 (talk • contribs) 10:49, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Map is outdated[edit]

US military expenditures are now 5% of GDP. Hanxu9 (talk) 17:58, 6 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Turkey[edit]

This map seems to place European Turkey and Asian Turkey in two different expenditure categories. Presumably a mistake. 87.246.71.34 (talk) 10:52, 28 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
